I really like Vini, I even would say he's my favorite player... however, I understand the lack of BdO, mainly because he was the best player in one and only one competition, the Champions League.

1. he wasn't the best player of La Liga... (there were +30 more influential players in the top 5 leagues)
2. he was really bad with Brazil in an international year... (With Brazil for fucks sake, is not like he's playing for Slovenia)
3. He does not have the numbers to think that his BdO were robbed, he has "good" numbers, not awesome (excluding his amazing UCL)
4. both Vini and Rodri are victims here, but not of the BdO, they are victims of the entitlement of Real Madrid and Florentino's ego.

I think football needed to rethink the awards, with Messi and CR7 it was very clear, but without them maybe we need to question what are we praising. I think Rodri is the best and most important player on the best playing team in the world and the basis of the success of spain can't be underestimated because you "don't get it". I also think a lot of "football influencers" don't understand how important and good he is.

I would have given the BdO to Vini, he is incredible and has had a year to be in the conversation, maybe he even deserved to win it... But I don't see any "injustice" or theft, I just see a club that thinks it deserves everything without explaining why, just crying and complaining.
