“Vinicius Jr. will compete for the Ballon D’Or”
It was not just Ramos that was the subject of praise from Neymar. His Real Madrid team-mate Vinicius Jr. is a compatriot of Neymar, who believes he will reach the top.
He said: “He’s super young and while he may have many years ahead of him, I think he will become an incredible player.
“He’ll become one of the best, he’ll compete for the Ballon d’Or. I hope he gets everything he wants.
“He’s a great kid, very kind. I hope he will go very far because he deserves it.”
Vinicius Jr. joined Real Madrid last season and was in and out of the team. He impressed against Ajax in the Champions League, a tie which they ultimately lost. This season, he will have the small matter of keeping one of Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard out of the team.
