Hello friends, how are you? The [Ballon d'Or]() is currently one of the main awards for the best player of the football season to receive this award, it is conducted every year by the magazine [France Football](). But this decision is not exclusive to this magazine alone, but there is a vote where captains, coaches and journalists around the world participate in this democratic election. Interestingly, even though Neymar has achieved almost everything in his career (one World Cup is missing), he has never received the award for best player in the world. Perhaps the lack of luck of having his peak in football alongside players like [Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo]() in their peaks was enough to not have the Brazilian as the big favorite for this award. Perhaps some may have thought that Neymar's chances diminished and even ended when he transferred to PGS at the time... Well, the truth is that as much as he could have done something extraordinary in the season, it didn't compare with his friend Messe who is considered by many to be an alien and with Ronaldo with his absurd focus and determination. Speaking of Brazilians who have won this award, it has really been a long time since this happened. The last Brazilian to win the Ballon d'Or trophy was midfielder [Kaká](), in 2007. At the time at Milan, the player was better than Ronaldo and Messi. This has been 17 years since Brazil no longer has a worthy representative. This for our country is very embarrassing. But today, we have a Brazilian who can break this taboo and his name is [Vinícius Júnior]().
