The declaration of Lamine Yamal about his ambitions for the Ballon d'Or did not at all pleased Raymond Domenech.

“” I said to my friends: I don't dream of winning a single golden ball, I dream of winning several. I can afford it. If I can't do it, it is because I did not do things correctly. »Pig of Spanish football and pure product of the FC Barcelona training center, Lamine Yamal has a lot of ambition and does not hide it. This statement made at the podcast microphone Resonancia de Corazon confirmed it. However, his words obviously did not please everyone.

A columnist on the team, Raymond Domenech brought his opinion decided on the subject this Friday. “At the age of eighteen, the guy only talks to me about individual titles … wins titles with your club and shows something. »» And although speaking on the group of the group which puts this famous golden ball, the former coach of the Blues set foot in the dish.

“I bother me this individual title in a team and that there are players like that … wins the title and it will justify that you have brought something. »» One way of saying that players should pass the collective before the staff and that if they perform with their team, then they will get an individual reward. In his words, Lamine Yamal did not actually present things in this direction and did not explain for example that if Spain was world champion in 2026, then he would think of the Ballon d'Or.

Between Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Dembélé (or another), the games are made

In the meantime, the deadline is closer to the trophy of the year 2025. On September 22 will take place the ceremony for handing over the Ballon d'Or at the Théâtre du Châtelet on the side of Paris. The votes have been closed for several days and the games are therefore made. For the time being, two names are insistently returned: those of Ousmane Dembélé and Lamine Yamal.

Winner of all the competitions he has played with PSG, with the exception of the Club World Cup, Ousmane Dembélé seems slightly in front. But Lamine Yamal remains an extremely serious candidate thanks to his very high level individual services, whether with Barça or Spanish selection.
