Coach Carlo Ancelotti has expressed his opinion regarding Vini Jr's absence from the UEFA Top 10 list. The Italian coach praised the Brazilian player's performance and declared that the 23-year-old striker deserved to be among the top ranked or even leading the list.
"I didn't realize who is (on the list), but For me Vinicius is one of the best, if not the best. All Real Madrid fans think that, for him that's more than enough. He doesn't need more to motivate himself. Nothing surprises me in football," he said. p>
This Thursday (17), UEFA announced the three finalists for the Best Player in Europe award for the 2022/23 season. Lionel Messi, formerly of Paris Saint-Germain, along with Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne, both from Manchester City, will compete for the trophy awarded by the European entity.
The winner will be revealed on 31 August , during the draw for the group stage of the next Champions League, which will take place at the Grimaldi Forum, in Monaco.
A highlight of Real Madrid last season, Vini scored 23 goals and 21 assists, and led the team to the semifinals of the Champions League and runners-up in the Spanish Championship. Neymar was also ignored by the entity. The new star of Al-Hilal, from Saudi Arabia, missed almost half of the season due to a serious ankle injury.

Two young talents revealed by Flamengo shone in Europe this Saturday (14). Goalkeeper Kauã Santos made his Bundesliga debut for Eintracht Frankfurt, helping the team to a 2-1 victory over Wolfsburg. Kauã entered the field after the experienced Kevin Trapp was injured at the end of the first half. Meanwhile, defender Léo Duarte scored his first goal in European football, securing Basaksehir's 1-0 victory over Bodrum in the Turkish league.
Kauã Santos, who arrived at Flamengo at the age of 16, he never played for the Rio club's main team. After standing out in the youth categories, the goalkeeper caught the attention of Eintracht Frankfurt, who invested R$8.4 million for 70% of his economic rights. On his debut, Kauã was unable to save a penalty taken by Baku, but held off Wolfsburg's pressure, helping to maintain his team's victory.
In turn, Léo Duarte, Copinha champion, rose to Flamengo professionals in 2016 and, little by little, established himself as a starter. In 2018, Milan, from Italy, spent 11 million euros to sign him. After a discreet spell at the Italian club, Léo transferred to Basaksehir, where he finally scored for the first time in Europe.
Léo Duarte and Kauã Santos' moment in EuropeLéo Duarte's Basaksehir occupies third place in the Turkish league with 10 points, just two less than leader Galatasaray. Kauã Santos' Eintracht Frankfurt is in sixth place in the Bundesliga, with six points, three behind leaders Bayern Munich.

Last Tuesday (10), before the clash between Paraguay and Brazil in the World Cup qualifiers, former Flamengo player, Orlando Berrío, made a special visit to the Brazilian team's concentration in Asunción. In the hotel lobby, the Colombian striker met old colleagues from his time at Rubro-Negro, including Vini Jr., Lucas Paquetá, former defender Juan and coach Dorival Júnior, who led him at CRF in 2018.
Currently defending Tacuary, from Paraguay, Berrío took the opportunity to talk to friends and former teammates from his career at Mais Querido.

Although his time was marked by injuries, the striker accumulated important titles, including the Campeonato Brasileiro and the Libertadores, both in 2019.
