At a time when candidates for the Ballon d’Or are multiplying interviews to convince selected journalists to vote for them, Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappé are the most active in this exercise. After the new wave of interviews granted by the Frenchman to The Athletic Or RFIit’s Lamine Yamal’s turn to speak to The Team. The star of FC Barcelona, world champion with Spain, explained what, in her opinion, are the main criteria for lifting the trophy on October 26 in London.
“The Ballon d’Or, as you say, is the trophy which rewards the best player of the year, the different player, the one we enjoy watching play, to the point of watching a match only for him. I think that’s what it’s like, a different player. It has nothing to do with how many goals he scores or anything else. When I think of the Ballon d’Or, I think of (Lionel) Messi, of Ronaldinho, of players like them, who are different and who make you smile when you watch them. I think everyone who watches football knows what my points are. I get on the pitch, I have fun, I play well and the way I want to play. Fortunately, I was also able to win a lot of titles with Barça and I was also able to win the most important title, the World Cup, with my selection. But beyond that, I think the way I play is my strongest argument, it’s what makes me different”he confided.
