Cristiano Ronaldo recently expressed his views about individual football awards like the Ballon d’Or and FIFA The Best with “losing credibility,” using these exact words to describe them. It seems Ronaldo’s view resonates strongly with Wolves midfielder Mario Lemina who recently stated his belief that Vinicius Jr should rightfully hold that distinction rather than Rodri.
Lemina appears to question the integrity of football awards like those handed out at FIFA Club World Cup 2018. While acknowledging Rodri’s excellence as midfielder is undeniable, Lemina believes Vinicius Jr was truly deserving of receiving this honour.
