There are not only criticisms of the Ballon d’Or: “Rodri is better than Vinícius”
Paul Scholes praised Man. City midfielder after award that caused a stir…
Many critical voices have emerged in recent days, following Rodri’s distinction as the Ballon d’Or winner, to the detriment of Vinícius, however there are also those who have come out publicly to defend the fairness of the award for the Man. City midfielder. This is the case of Paul Scholes.
“Rodri is a better player than Vinícius Junior. Vinícius will probably win more games, he will be more skillful, but Rodri is a great player,” said the former midfielder on The Overlap Fan Debate.
“That particular position he plays in, that Spanish position that Guardiola used to play in, as well as those great players like Busquets, makes your team play brilliant football,” he argued.
“It’s a victory for the midfielders. I know that Messi and Ronaldo had a big say, but we think about players like Xavi and Iniesta who didn’t win – Busquets didn’t either,” he added.
