The Bleuets coach, Thierry Henry, decided for the future winner of the Ballon d’Or.
Four days before the Ballon d’Or ceremony which will be held at the Théâtre du Chatelet in Paris, Thierry Henry has left no room for doubt about the identity of the future winner. And this, even if the question still arises for some to know which of the Norwegian Erling Haaland or the Argentinian Lionel Messi has delivered the best season. However, certain indiscretions are already announcing an eighth coronation to come for the 2022 world champion. Which would not displease the coach of the French junior team, who clearly sees the native of Rosario winning in the eyes of of his campaign with the Albiceleste during the World Cup in Qatar.
“It’s Messi. End of the discussion “
“A lot of people can debate it, but for me, if you win the World Cup the way he did… We can talk about what happened in the final. As a Frenchman, I was a little disappointed with the way it ended, but you can’t say it’s not deserved if he wins it, judged the 98 world champion. Many people can argue that Manchester City players, Haaland and other players can also say ‘why not me?’, but it cannot be said that it is not justified if he wins it. There were times in history where I think of Lewandowski, they decided to say that there would be no Ballon d’Or, but there was football. Why wasn’t the guy allowed to win his Ballon d’Or? “, thus questioned the legend of Gunners.
The Ulis child nevertheless wanted to close the debate. “For me, it’s Messi. End of the discussion. »he replied after being raised on the question by Jamie Carragher.
