The Spanish media must be recognized for their unparalleled ability to feed soap operas that are as ridiculous as they are superficial. So, while the anger does not descend in the ranks of Real Madrid after Vinicius’ second place in the Ballon d’Or, the Chiringuito show, not the last to fuel the crazy theories of conspiracy in recent hours, went to see Karim Benzema in Saudi Arabia.
“Nothing against Rodri but…”
The Frenchman, the last Real player to be rewarded in 2022, did not need to be asked to feed the machine: “I saw for Vinicius… He is a player who has always made a lot of effort and who is not satisfied to score goals. Last season, when Real won the Champions League, Vinicius was decisive in every match. So I don’t think there’s anyone who deserved it more than him.”
And Rodri in all this, he didn’t deserve anything? “I have nothing against him, but I’m on my sofa, watching TV and Rodri doesn’t do things that make me say: ‘Pffff’, whereas Vinicius has done it more than once (… ) I wrote him a message and he was sad. It’s normal. It’s a bit complicated when everyone sees you win the Ballon d’Or and at the end, a day or a few hours before, we. tells you that you’re not going to win it.” We’re now waiting for CR7’s clear opinion on the subject, while we’re at it.
