At the end of the club season and Real Madrid, champion of League and Championsas one of the main protagonists, the names of the players Vinicius and Jude Bellingham It is clear that they are among the first on the list of candidates for the Ballon d’Or.
However, what seems to have happened in this new phase that opened a few weeks ago of the national football team and the Brazilian and the Englishman as the main stars in the race for the prize, does not happen like that.
In fact, Viniciuswith ‘his’ Brazil, is held back at the start of the Copa América where he has not scored even in previous friendlies against USA and Mexico it has not premiered before Costa Rica. A level that, therefore, began to make the first criticism of the absence, yes, of the tournament continuing its course and the ‘brazuca’ facing Paraguay and Colombiawho are their next opponents in the group stage.
‘Hey Jude’, from more to less
For his part, the same has happened to Jude Bellingham, the absolute leader of the England team and who, so far, has been one of the disappointments of this Euro. Not so much the Madrid player, who scored a decisive goal on his debut against Serbia, but inevitably he also seems to have been infected by the English’s ineffectiveness in recent games to the point of also receiving criticism for his large number of lost balls.
For now, it’s still the same summer and there’s still a tournament left to prove they’re worthy of golden ball However, in these latest performances it is clear that this is a trophy that, at least this year, will not be awarded like other years.
