Madrid Told Me Not to Go – Vinicius on Ballon d’Or Absence
Vinicius Junior has revealed that Real Madrid instructed him not to attend last year’s Ballon d’Or ceremony.
The Brazilian winger was seen as a strong contender for the award, with many backing him to beat Manchester City’s Rodri. But just before the event, Madrid reportedly pulled back on their plans after it was leaked that Rodri would be named the best player in the world.
Even Carlo Ancelotti, who won Manager of the Year, didn’t show up at the ceremony.
Speaking on the issue, Vinicius said, “There are people who vote, and that’s it. I’ll have more chances to win awards and titles with this club. The club told me not to go to the gala and stay in Madrid, so I did.”
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
