A few weeks before the presentation of the Ballon d’Or, scheduled for October 26, Marquinhos hopes to see the trophy stay at Paris Saint-Germain. While France Football unveils the list of 30 nominees this Tuesday, the Parisian captain had fun when he was asked about his favorite. “I hope it will be someone from PSG. We have very good players who have had a very good season, I can’t tell you one, you know the ones at the top of the list. Do you have the list? Am I there or not? »he joked, before recalling that it was above all a matter of “at an individual price”.
Marquinhos, however, had particularly laudatory words for Ousmane Dembélé, title holder and new candidate to succeed him. “He has already shown his value, he is a locker room leader, a very important player. The coach knows the manager very well so that he is in top form, like last season. He’s a perfect player, we’re all happy to have him here.”. Without openly naming his favorite, the Brazilian dreams above all of seeing a Parisian win the prestigious trophy.
