More undecided than ever, the Ballon d’Or continues to ignite the debates. Thirteen days before the announcement of the lucky winner, everyone has their own prediction. Lamine Yamal, Ousmane Dembélé, Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia each apply with their arguments.
A rant about the Ballon d’Or
On the eve of the trip to Manchester City, Luis Enrique was asked about his players’ chances of winning the individual award. But the Spanish technician seems particularly tired of the debates on this subject. “I’m tired of the Ballon d’Or. What I hope is that we will win this trophy. We have players who deserve it. Last year we won the best team award. We showed that not only Ousmane Dembélé deserved this. I’m tired of the Ballon d’Or »he said at a press conference.
The Spanish coach also wanted to calm the fleeting enthusiasm over the performances of his players. In particular Ferran Torres, very prominent after scoring 7 goals in seven matches under his new colors. “ There are different situations. Ferran Torres has scored a lot of goals. It’s positive today after three games, but if they don’t score it will be a mess. If, conversely, players who don’t score like Mika Godts score a hat-trick, he will be the new Platini. You have to be calm, that’s football. What I say to the titis when they come to train is “do you know where we are? » You are going to be criticized all the time. This is the life of top players, you have to get used to it”he indicated.
