foden lol. literally the best player of the premier league season in all accounts. and rodri isn't being considered for his performance on city and you know that. he wasn't even considered top 5 on the award until may, before the euros. you can go look it up. and he wasn't even the best player of spain too
the ONLY big reason people (non madrid fans) dont want vini to win is because of his behaviour. And tbh after messi-ronaldo era, every ballon d'or feels forced ngl, we used to have 60-70 g/a per season winners to 35-40 g/a, and i would be really happy if lautaro made top3 or won, because he carried that copa and was balling out for inter, but who cares imma watch lamine hold the kopa trophy and a barca player hold the female ballon d'or
International football has a huge weight to these awards and vinicius just doesn't do enough for Brazil.
I don't think rodri actually deserved the MVP for the euros but he still had a big impact in Spain winning the whole thing.
Also probably doesn't help that Jude was taking a lot of the spotlight especially in la Liga.
No brother, the World Cup does, the Euros don't. No one on this century has won the Ballon D'or for their Euros performance, no one
And yeah Rodri was very good, but the euros is not worth more than the UCL, it just isn't, it's never been in years past and I don't understand why it would be this year. Also Vini was a lot more important to Madrid than Rodri to Spain
Alright brother that's juts fucking dumb, Vini has scored and or assisted in every single one of the knockout rounds, no other winger is anywhere close to doing that. And also the whole scheme of Madrid was based of off just having the strikers do their magic, they were barely set up at all
Rodri is in fucking sane and key but he is NOT the reason Spain won, if you watch Spain U15's they play the same style of football, it is designed so that it's a team thing, not a 1 player thing (quite literally the opposite to Madrid)
No the point is Rodri is instrumental for both club and country, Vinicius is not that for Brazil.
Besides Rodri was also a key piece to the man city puzzle, it's very obvious statistically and by watching man city that they struggle without him.
Rodri's consistency should push him above vinicius, who did have higher highs but also had the lower lows.
Man City is still at the top of the league without him brother.
And what my point is, I’m fairly confident there is a very decent chance Spain wins those euros with Zubimendi in the starting 5 aswell. Spain is a system the players that play are not that important. Opposite to Madrid where the whole gameplan last year resolved around allowing Vini to do his magic
Also Rodri made the quarterfinals of the UCL and so did Vini in the Copa America
It also bothers me that City fans literally voted Foden as their player of the season, they don’t even actually appreciate Rodri, the only reason all of this is even a debate is because people actually fucking hate Vini
Man city are no where near as dominate this season which is reflected by the amount of goals they have already conceded and their weakened overall control on games.
In the premier league last season, Rodri missed 4 games. City lost 3 of those 4, these were their only losses in the premier league that year.
Bellingham had a better output that Vinicius for almost the entirety of the season, ending the season with 1 goal less. (23/24 season)
Real Madrid even had 5 players with double digit goals scored, so its not like vini is carrying them.
The champions league run was not even convincing, scraped by Man city via penalties.
Scraped by Bayern munich, with Neuer making a huge error.
Jude hard carried the league, Vini de UCL. UCL is just more valuable. Rodri didn't carry either, Man City are very much capable of winning the premier without Rodri since they're doing it rn and Spain is very much capable of winning without him aswell.
And I fucking love Rodri he is the best defensive midfielder in the world by a wide margin, but I just can't buy it
real madrid are also capable of winning the league and ucl without ronaldo, benz or modric, so what's your point?
rodri literally does everything that a midfielder needs to do flawlessly. Man literally hasn't lost a league game in couple years now - is this not a sign of greatness? name me one midfielder that has singlehandedly carried his team
Real Madrid were not winning that champions league with any other winger in the world that was not Vini, that is my point. Vini contributed to 7 out of their 12 goals man
And you do not need to tell me how great Rodri is, this is not about that. It's about who had the better season him or Vini, and it was definitely Vini
vini didnt carry shit, 3 npg. no one said vini deserved the ballon d'or until like the ucl final. fucking rodrygo was having a better season then him. and then he had a terrible copa america. euros is more important than ucl and rodri was euros pott. on top of that vini wasnt even like a top 3 player in la liga last season
This is where our conversation ends then lol
1 in the final (1/2 goal contributuons)
2 goals in the semifinal (2/4 goal contributions)
3 assists in the quarter final (3/4 goal contributions)
1 in the first round (1/2 goal contributions)
He contributed to 7 out of 12 goals. If that is not carrying idk what is
