Vinicius After Winning FIFA Best Player Awards

Today I'm writing to the boy who has seen so many idols lift that trophy… his time has come.

Or rather, my time has come. The time to say... yes, I'm the best player in the world and I've fought hard for it.

They've tried and tried to invalidate me, to diminish me. But they're not ready. No one is going to tell me who I should fight for, how I should behave.

When I was in São Gonçalo, the system didn't care about me. I was almost swallowed up.

I won for myself, for my family. With a lot of support along the way: Flamengo, Real Madrid, the Brazilian national team, my hundreds of teammates over the years... the people who accompany me every day in my routine, those who admire me. #fifaawards #viniciusjunior
