This Monday, FIFA announced the 2022 team of the year. Among the 26 players chosen are Brazilians Alisson (Liverpool), Thiago Silva (Chelsea), Casemiro (Manchester United) and Neymar (Paris Saint-Germain). The absence of striker Vinicius Júnior, from Real Madrid, caught the attention of fans, who did not understand the decision.
The FIFA team of the year is chosen by the players themselves, who vote and elect the best players of the season. In the released team, Brazil was the country with the highest number of representatives, followed by France and Argentina, both with three athletes.
But the list was not to everyone’s liking. On social networks, fans questioned the absence of Vinicius Júnior, one of the highlights of Real Madrid and author of the winning goal in the last edition of the Europe Champions League. The presence of the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo also generated controversy.
The number 7 of Al Nassr, from Saudi Arabia, did not have a good season for Manchester United, where he had friction with the board and technical commission. After wear and tear, the player went to Arab football and is still adapting. For the world CupCristiano Ronaldo started three of Portugal’s five games and scored just one goal.
Among the 26 athletes chosen, the 11 best will still be chosen during the awards FIFA The Best. The event takes place on the 27th.
