Later this month, the 2024 Ballon d’Or will be awarded by France Football.
Everything suggests that Vinicius Junior will win it for the first time ever, and Real Madrid also expect that to be the case. Not everyone believes Vinicius would be the deserved winner.
In fact, his former teammate Joselu Mato would prefer to see it awarded to Dani Carvajal, as he recently told EFE.
Joselu votes for Carvajal
“I would give it to Carvajal. We are talking about a player who played everything last year, who won the same club titles as Vini, who I appreciate and love a lot as a teammate, but I think Dani finished the season as the best player in the Champions League final and won a Euro in which he was very important.
“At the end of the day, the credit is not given to a defender because he is more of a protagonist who scores goals or makes assists, but we saw Dani as a goalscorer, who scored and made assists, who was important, who played incredible matches. He is a serious candidate to be able to recruit him because it has been a long time since we have seen a player in these conditions and the titles won last year in defense would allow him to win the Ballon d’Or. »
