The Vini & Real Madrid Ballon d'Or Saga: A Lesson in Mindset? ⚽
Despite Vini Jr. having a good season and being a key asset for Real Madrid, he was a fan favorite to win the Ballon d'Or yesterday. However, one thing I couldn't wrap my head around was his reaction when he found out he didn’t win the award. Not only did he skip the Ballon d'Or event, but the entire Real Madrid team did too. Vini Jr. placed second, with Jude Bellingham coming in third. This move was clearly a statement from the club, showing their support for Vini and their belief that he was robbed of this honor.
Honestly, I was shocked. As a professional, you can’t behave this way—both as a team and as an individual. If the situation were reversed, Rodri would have still attended the event.
Supporting someone else who wins the Ballon d'Or requires mental strength, not just physical. It’s crucial to acknowledge that sometimes you need to put in more work. Everyone faces tough paths, and that's part of the journey. Maybe Vini is meant to win it in another year.
Trust the process! Vini Jr. is a baller with incredible skills. He’s also quick, intelligent, and truly bleeds for Los Blancos. However, he does lack discipline on the field at times. He needs to step up as a leader, not complain if things don’t go his way. If he can make that change, I believe he has the potential to be a complete baller.
What are your thoughts on how players should handle such disappointments? ⚽
