They are 9 Parisians to have been appointed for the Ballon d'Or this season, including Ousmane Dembélé the big favorite with Lamine Yamal. PSG can above all fear a dispersion of voices, rather than supporting a particular player. Achraf Hakimi for example believes that he is a candidate more than credible to the prestigious reward. Marquinhos was invited to react to the Ballon d'Or, one of the few holders not to have been appointed to the 30 list.
“”The collective is the most important. I am 31 years old, I know how football is. I was appointed a few years ago. Between being nominated and winning a champions League, I prefer to win a champions League“Retorts the Parisian captain this evening at a press conference on the eve of PSG-Tottenham in European Super Cup. “”I had difficult seasons and it's even harder to resume after that. But today is pleasant. I try to motivate myself until I win. But afterwards, I try to motivate myself to win ever more. This is what we will try to do.»»
