"In my opinion, he [Vinícius] deserved to win the golden ball [Ballon d'Or award]. It was unfair in my opinion. I say here in front of everybody. They give it to Rodri, he deserved it too, but they should have given it to Vinícius because he won the Champions League and scored in the final."
"You know these galas, they always do the same thing," he said, criticizing France Football magazine and reflecting on the tradition of the awards.
"The problem of Manchester United is the same. The problem is not always the coach. It's much more than that. If you have the fish inside and he's sick and you take him out and you fix the problem and you put him again in an aquarium you will be sick again."
"Vinícius was later awarded FIFA's The Best men's player award earlier this month and won Globe Soccer's best men's prize on Friday, while Barcelona star Aitana Bonmati won the women's player of the year award, her latest such honour."
