Ronaldinho's Congratulations to Vinícius that Sinks Barça: 'For Two Years Now'

One of the most striking surprises of Vinícius' victory in the 'The Best' award, organized and presented by FIFA, is the congratulations that the Brazilian player has received. In addition to the recognition from various international soccer bodies, some legends have singled him out personally.

One of those who has had the biggest impact is Ronaldinho Gaúcho. The former FC Barcelona '10', a legend who is still closely linked to the club, hasn't hesitated to send a message of encouragement and many congratulations to the Real Madrid player. His interpellation on social networks is definitive.

"Congratulations Vini, you have been a Brazilian icon for two years and you really deserve this award!". The way Ronaldinho opens his congratulatory message on Vinícius Jr.'s achievement is just a small part of all the praise he has received from a Canarinha legend.

Because 'Dinho' asks his compatriot to keep "smiling and making thousands of young people continue to believe in his dream and career as a player", just like him. Not many share the message sent by the former Barça player, who encourages Vinícius to continue marking an era in the European soccer elite.

He has it very clear

At the same time, Ronaldinho reveals that "I know how much you dedicate yourself every day and what a brilliant professional you are, since you were very young." These words make it clear that all the merits and praise that Vinícius has accumulated to date haven't been 'gifts': quite the opposite.

Because the '7' of the green and yellow team had to face a lot of criticism and ridicule during his first years, a trend that put him on the best possible path. Since then, the story of who is today the most decisive player in Europe began to take shape, a 'danger' for the defense of any team. His victory in 'The Best', plus the congratulations of Ronaldinho, confirm this fact.

"Congratulations, my friend. You can celebrate a lot because few will have this recognition. Now the trophy is on the shelf of your history and in your memory," says the former FC Barcelona player. The congratulations of this Barça legend to one of the greatest rivals of the Barça fans for several years has been a very hard blow.

Especially since not many could have predicted such a move by the man who has long been revered as the ultimate exponent of joga bonito. More and more FC Barcelona legends and greats, such as 'Dinho' himself, Neymar Jr. or Raphinha, are supporting the 'nemesis' of their own fans.
