Present at a press conference before the shock between the French team and Spain as part of the semi-final of the League of Nations, Manu Koné returned to the debate around the Ballon d'Or. Faced with journalists, the middle of the Roma assured supporting French contenders. “There are two very great French people who can have it today, one who plays Real, the other PSG, I will vote for both”.

Relaunched on the Lamine Yamal case, also in the running to win this individual distinction, Manu Koné said: “He's a very good player. He is very young, he does very good things, in Champions League or in selection. But for the Ballon d'Or, I am French, so I campaign for my teammates ”. The message is clear.
