Vinicius Jr. wants to live up to his “Ballon d’Or favorite” tag on and off the field by following heroes.

Vinicius Jr. is the favorite to win the Ballon d’Or in 2024, but he says that his work off the field is just as important as his work on it. He wants to follow Lewis Hamilton’s lead.

The great player for Real Madrid, Vinicius Jr., wants to open a school for poor kids like Lewis Hamilton and LeBron James.

The 24-year-old Brazilian is the clear favorite to win this year’s Ballon d’Or in October. He is already making plans for his legacy after winning the Champions League and La Liga twice in the last three seasons.

Vinicius Jr. said, “I’m already helping a lot of kids in Brazil.” He was born in Sao Goncalo, a poor neighborhood in his home country.

“One of my main goals for next year is to have my name on the first school because I always looked up to the people I looked up to.”

“Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, and Lewis Hamilton are names I always bring up.” One from each event, and one that I really care about.

“In the past year, LeBron James invited people from my institute to visit his school. They said it was a great place to learn not only football, basketball, and other sports, but also about education first.”

“In the future, I want to help a lot of kids so that Brazil can have better schools and a better way of life.”

F1 star Hamilton started Mission 44, a charity that will help young people from backgrounds that aren’t well-represented in society reach their goals.

Is Vinicius Jr. going to win the Ballon d’Or?

James is the brains behind the I Promise School in the US, which was passed in 2017 to help elementary school students who are having trouble stay in school.

Vinicius Jr. said this before this week’s draw for the next Champions League season: “To become a professional, and for every million people, only two or three become professional players.”

“So the motto and goal of my institute is always to give kids the freedom and skills to do something other than play football, like become doctors or teachers.”

“Brazil needs more doctors, teachers, and lawyers.”

Vinicius Jr. has ripped it up in Spain and Europe in football, with numbers that show how dominant he is.

Fifteen goals helped his team win its second title in three years. It took six goals to win the Champions League. The second goal in the Final three months ago was enough to bҽat Borussia Dortmund.

After failing in their bid for Kylian Mbappe last year, the Saudis are said to be ready to make a $1bn offer.

But now that Mbappe is at Madrid with him, Vinicius wants to make history there.

He said, “I’ve always wanted to play for Real Madrid, so I enjoy every moment like it’s my last.”

“Everyone wants to win for the world’s best team.” It’s great to be able to play with the best players and score so many goals in so many games.

“I’ve won two Champions Leagues already, and some of the players I play with have won six already. Names like Dani Carvajal, Luka Modrić, Nacho, and Toni Kroos.”

“Every day, they push us to play better and show us that with this team, anything is possible.”

“We have a chance to be one of the best teams for the next ten years. Now we have to perform on the field.”
