While the name of the Ballon d’Or 2023 will be unveiled on October 30, an injustice related to the identity of the future winner has already been denounced.
For many, the name of the player who will lift the 2023 Ballon d’Or trophy on October 30 is almost obvious. Winner of the 2022 World Cup with Argentina, Lionel Messi leaves with the favors of the bookmakers, even if he has not shown the same level of play with the Paris Saint-Germain jersey on his back. Another favorite for the supreme individual award, Erling Haaland has reason to believe in it, in particular thanks to his exceptional season with Manchester City and his participation in the historic first coronation of the Mancunian club in the Champions League. Third name regularly cited, that of Kylian Mbappé acts more as an outsider. But a fourth thief would also have deserved his place.
And maybe even the first. At least that’s what Vincent Duluc said. The journalist from The Team was sorry Wednesday evening on the channel of his group, that Rodri is not put forward more. For him, the midfielder of Manchester City also deserves to have a label of favorite for this Ballon d’Or 2023. ” For me, there are no three favorites. There should be four. It’s unfair to Rodri. Obviously, he’s not going to be in all three, but he deserved to be there. Fatalist, Vincent Duluc explained why he suspects in advance that his colt will not even finish on the podium.
“He would have deserved it”
” We know very well that the judgment has always focused on the attackers, and that the midfielders, unfortunately, there is a loss of voice. All the voices must be diluted among the attackers. There, I don’t believe in it at all for Rodri, but I think he would have deserved it. “Last season, the Spanish international therefore won the Champions League, but also the championship and the FA Cup, without forgetting the League of Nations gleaned with La Roja. This record and his performances should therefore not be enough to put him ahead of Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé. Unless there’s a hell of a surprise.
