Editor-in-Chief of France Football, which organizes the Ballon d'Or awards, revealed in an interview possible “reasons” that made Vini Jr lose the Ballon d'Or to Rodri. Vincent Garcia revealed that perhaps the presence of other Real Madrid players in the top-5 would have hindered Flamengo's youngster.


In an interview with the French newspaper L'Equipe Tv, Vincent stated that Vini Jr lost some points due to the division of votes between names like Bellingham and Carvajal.< /p>



“It is clear that Vinícius suffered with the presence of Bellingham and Carvajal in the top-5, because mathematically this took away some points from him. This also reflects Real Madrid's season, which had three or four players, and the judges divided their votes between them, which ended up benefiting Rodri”, explained the editor-in-chief.


Vini Jr He was the favorite for the award until the day of the award, when speculation arose suggesting that Rodri would, in fact, be chosen as the Ballon d'Or winner. The nestling came in second place, and teammate Bellingham came in third.

Responsible for the Ballon d'Or talks about the lack of Vini Jr and Real Madrid in the awards

As a way of boycott due to Vini Jr not being crowned Ballon d'Or, even with the team winning the award for best team in the world and best coach in the world, Real Madrid did not attend the event. The boycott was commented by Vincent Garcia, who stated that he was under a lot of pressure from the Spanish team to reveal who would be the winner of the main prize.

“I had a lot of pressure from Real Madrid, but, as with other clubs, I was always clear and fair. Maybe my silence pushed them to the limit, but I did the same with the others. I was unpleasantly surprised by their absence,” said the editor-in-chief.

“We were very clear with them and with all the other clubs. This year, the winning club and prize winner were not going to be notified. I thought everyone had accepted, but at the last moment, I don't know why, they wanted to change the rule”, he concluded.
