Ballon d’Or: A top player – Dida names possible winner of award
Brazil football legend, Dida, has said Vinicius Junior deserves to win this year’s Ballon d’Or.
Dida, speaking with Stats Perform, hailed his compatriot as “a top player”
Vinicius was unable to lead Brazil to glory at this year’s Copa America, missing their quarter-final tie against Uruguay due to suspension.
However, he shone as Real Madrid to the LaLiga and Champions League titles.
Vinicius has directly contributed to 42 goals for Madrid in all competitions since the start of the 2023-24 season, scoring 28 times and laying on 14 assists.
Dida said: “Vinicius is a great kid, a great player, a top player. He did very well last year, he scored goals, he gave assists, that’s why.
“If he wins, it’s because he deserves to win it because he did very well, we hope he manages to win this Ballon d’Or.”
