On the morning of December 28th, at this year's Globe Soccer Awards ceremony, Real Madrid player Vinicius successfully won the award, claiming the title of Best Male Footballer in the Globe Soccer Awards. He was also elected as the Best Forward of the Year in the Globe Soccer Awards, following his victory in the FIFA Player of the Year award, Vinicius once again received recognition in the awards selection. Additionally, his Real Madrid predecessor Cristiano Ronaldo also won an award. Official announcement! Ronaldo wins two awards overnight, speaks out for Vinicius, and points out the root of Manchester United's problems.
Among the candidates for the Best Middle East Player in the 2024 Globe Soccer Awards, including Cristiano Ronaldo from Al-Nassr, Dawasari and Milinkovic from Al-Hilal, Mahrez from Al-Ittihad, Rashidi and Kaku from Al-Ain, and Batna from Al-Faisaly, Ronaldo ultimately defeated the other six candidates to be elected as the Best Middle East Player of the Year in the Globe Soccer Awards.
Ronaldo also received the Best Historical Goalscorer Award at the Globe Soccer Awards ceremony. The 39-year-old Ronaldo has scored a total of 916 goals throughout his career so far. He has been an efficient goalscorer for the Portuguese national team, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Al-Nassr, serving as a reliable goal guarantee for his teams. This season, Ronaldo has played 19 times for Al-Nassr, scoring 16 goals, demonstrating his outstanding goal-scoring ability even at an older age.
At the Globe Soccer Awards ceremony, Ronaldo also discussed topics related to the Ballon d'Or. In this regard, Ronaldo stated: "In my opinion, Vinicius should have won the Ballon d'Or. It is unfair that Vinicius did not win, and I say this in front of everyone." Additionally, Ronaldo also expressed that Rodri deserves the award, but Vinicius is more deserving because he has a Champions League title and scored in the final.
Clearly, Ronaldo strongly supports his young fan Vinicius, believing that Vinicius should be the Ballon d'Or winner this year. When discussing Manchester United and the team's head coach Amorim, Ronaldo frankly expressed his love for the club. Ronaldo stated that the problem with Manchester United does not lie with the coach, but in other aspects. Ronaldo also said, "They will continue to create storms, but the storm will eventually end, and the sun will rise again." Ronaldo wishes Amorim and Manchester United all the best.
Ronaldo returned to Manchester United in 2021, but things did not go smoothly after his second stint. Manchester United's competitiveness has been relatively poor in recent years, currently ranking 14th in the Premier League this season. After rejoining Manchester United, Ronaldo deeply understands where the problem lies with the team, as there are significant issues with the team management, and the coach is just a scapegoat. The inaction or mismanagement of the Manchester United hierarchy has caused the team to gradually fall out of the ranks of top clubs.
