Manchester City goalkeeper Éderson has expressed his admiration for Real Madrid’s Vinícius Júnior and his hope for the Brazilian star to win the prestigious Ballon d’Or.
“I hope Viní Jr wins the Ballon d’Or,” Éderson said with a smile, his respect for his fellow Brazilian clear. “He deserves it for everything he did last season. His performances were incredible—he’s been at the top of his game, and it would be a well-earned recognition.”
However, Éderson also acknowledged the talent of his Manchester City teammate, Rodri, adding, “On the other hand, if Rodri wins, I’ll be happy as well. He played an immense role in our success last season and has proven to be one of the best midfielders in the world.”
With the Ballon d’Or race heating up, Éderson’s comments reflect the excitement and support for the world’s top players. Whether Vinícius or Rodri takes the prize, Éderson is proud to be a part of a generation of footballing excellence.
