Everything indicates that Vinicius Junior will win the Ballon d’Or 2024 next 28th of this month. But there are other serious candidates, like Rodri (Manchester City) or Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid). However, it seems that Argentina’s national coach, Lionel Scalonihe doesn’t think any of these three deserve to be ahead of his candidate, a world-class star who doesn’t sell a lot of t-shirts.
For Scaloni, who should win this individual award Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan). “He deserves it more than anyone,” he said categorically in the preview of the Albiceleste match against Bolivia. “What can I say? I’m his coach. I think he’s had a spectacular year. He’s scored a goal in the final, he’s scored the goal in the final, he’s been the top scorer in the Cup.”
Scaloni believes that, if not now, the forward will win the award later. “I hope it will be given to him. He is a boy who, furthermore, I appreciate him a lot. He has been with us from minute zero. I hope it will be given to him. Surely, if not now, it will. Be later. The future is still big him,” he added, excited about the prospect of the ‘Bull’ winning the coveted prize on several occasions.
