While the calendar has never been so busy, the news is also marked by the incessant debates around the Ballon d'Or France Football. We will have to wait until September to know the identity of Rodri's successor, but several names emerge.
Top scorer of the best team in Europe, Ousmane Dembélé naturally postulates for the most prestigious of individual awards, in the same way as the Spanish Lamine Yamal, whose talent dazzles observers. But other footballers have left an indelible footprint this season.
Rodri, Ballon d'Or 2024.
We can notably quote Gianluigi Donnarumma, Vitinha, Pedri, Raphinha, Kylian Mbappé or Achraf Hakimi. The latter succeeded in scoring at least one goal in the Champions League quarter-final against Aston Villa, then in the semi-finals against Arsenal and in the final against Inter Milan. For his coach Walid Regragui, the right side defender deserves to be sacred.
Hakimi Surprise candidate for the Ballon d'Or
“” Being African and defender? It can serve it for sure, launched Walid Regragui in front of the press this week. Because I have always said, in Africa we are harder with Africans, for coaches as well as for players. But of course it is at the Table du Ballon d'Or. I had already said it during an interview for the team: for the African Ballon d'Or of course that it is applying and that it should have it, but that it had to sit at the Table du Ballon d'Or. And I said it before the Champions League final… ”.
“Now there is a club World Cup …,
continued the coach of Morocco. After the problem for Achraf, he is a defender, he is African, and in Morocco who likes to chasty well, we like to be hard with ourselves. But I think that with this question we send a little breath to say that we are behind Achraf. For once you have a player of this caliber who can sit at the Golden Ball table, we must grow. For me of course it is in the top 3, and not third“. It is said.
