For the Ballon d'Or, the former managers built momentum for their favorite disciples. France boss Zidane has supported Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema for the award.
30 Golden Globe nominees were recently announced. The Ballon d'Or is an award set up by the French football magazine French Football and has been held since 1956. The Ballon d'Or awards are awarded to the player who performs the best each year and is considered the highest authority and honor in football.
Many notable players have been nominated, including Lionel Messi, who won the most awards (6 times) and Ronaldo (5 times). Jorginho, who lifted the Champions League trophy, Levan, who broke The Gad muller's record, as well as Mbappe and Harlan, who has a strong goal-scoring ability, are all likely to win the Ballon d'Or.
As the Ballon d'Ors approaches this season, everyone's predictions about who will get it continue. Former Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson chose Cristiano Ronaldo. "Cristiano Ronaldo deserves the Ballon d'Or," Ferguson said.
Former Real Madrid boss Zidane chose Benzema. Zidane recently told Telefoot, "Benzema deserves the Ballon d'Or. He's an incredible player. It's an honor to coach him. Benzema could do anything on the pitch. I hope he wins the Ballon d'Or," he said.
Benzema played for Real Madrid for over 10 years and achieved a successful career. He served as Cristiano Ronaldo's best helper, becoming another scoring point outside of Cristiano Ronaldo, but after Ronaldo left in 2018, he became the protagonist. Benzema has scored more than 20 league goals in three consecutive seasons since the 2018-19 season. This season, he has also led Real Madrid's efficiency in goalscoring with 9 goals and 7 assists in 8 games.
French football has been building momentum for Benzema's Golden Ball. When participating in a show a few days ago, the French star LeBeuf said that Messi did not deserve the Ballon d'Or because he was red in the Western Super Cup final. "In both 2000 and 2006, Zidane missed the Golden Globes for receiving a red card." LeBeuf said, "Messi was red in the Western Super Cup final for punching his opponent, which may affect his competition for the Ballon d'Or. Since Zidane didn't get the Ballon d'Or for a red card, Messi shouldn't have won the Ballon d'Or either. ”
So far, Messi has not been heard by anyone who supports Messi to win the Golden Globe Award, and there are many critics of Messi.
Park Ji-sung Manchester United's best friend Patrice Evra is known to have criticized Lionel Messi (Paris Saint-Germain Football Club) about the possibility of winning the Ballon d'Or.
According to the British media "Tribune" reported on the 16th (Beijing time), Evra said: "I think the Golden Globe Award should be given to Kante or Jorginho. I'm tired of handing it over to Messi," he said.
"What did Messi do last year?" You did well in the Copa America, but how did you perform in Barcelona? "But he seems to have forgotten that Messi won the top spot in La Liga's top scorer list (30 goals)" at Barca last season!
The much-anticipated Golden Globe Awards will be announced on November 29. Compared with the period when Messi and C Ronaldo dominated, this year's competition is expected to be more intense. But so far no one has supported Messi to win the Ballon d'Or? What is the reason for this? Who should the Ballon d'Or Awards go to?
