Inter Miami head coach, Gerardo \u201cTata\u201d Martino, has said he believes Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior deserves to win this year\u2019s Ballon d\u2019Or award.<\/p>\n

However, Martino insists Lionel Messi is \u201cthe best\u201d player in the world.<\/p>\n

Vin\u00edcius Jr is the big favourite to win the prize on Monday, along with Manchester City midfielder Rodri.<\/p>\n

The Real Madrid forward scored 24 goals and provided 11 assists as Los Blancos won both the LaLiga and Champions League titles.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt [the Ballon d\u2019Or] has never been something that caught my attention, nor was it clear to me whether the award is for the best in the world or of the year,\u201d Martino said.<\/p>\n

\u201cVin\u00edcius J\u00fanior probably has the merit [of being the best last season], although if you ask me who is the best right now, it\u2019s Messi.\u201d<\/p>\n
