The Albiceleste head-coach stated that El Pulga’s heroics in the 2011/12 season cannot be downplayed after his 72 goal season.
Despite the best of efforts of Lionel Messi, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 were unable to claim their 4th successive La Liga title. La Blaugrana were usurped from their dominant position in Spanish top flight football by arch-rivals, Real Madrid.
Jose Mourinho was the architect of the league triumph, as he instilled a remarkable potency and consistency among Los Blancos’ ranks.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 scored 46 goals in Real Madrid’s league campaign, penalizing all 19 of their rivals during the course of the season to win his first major trophy in the white jersey.
The former Manchester United attacker improved on his heroics of the last season, where he grabbed the Pichichi trophy with 41 league goals.
However, Ronaldo misses on securing the trophy in back-to-back season to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, who hit the back of the net an amazing 50 times in the Primera Division’s 38 match season.
Messi’s heroics were played down by Jose Mourinho in a recent press conference, where he claimed Ronaldo’s tally is more important. The Special One was discussing Ronaldo’s chances of securing the Ballon d’Or award when he gave his comments.
Albiceleste tactician, Alejandro Sabella, came on the support of his captain and praised him for his services to club and country over the course of the football year.
"The 50 goals speak for themselves, scoring this quantity is only possible for the chosen few."
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Mascherano-c18071 echoed the sentiments of his national team coach as he dismissed Mourinho’s rant as a waste. He stated the Portuguese manager likes to think in his own manner and has his own reasons every other year.
"I don't value Mourinho's words," he said. "I have nothing to say.”
"Last year the 40 goals scored by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 were worth something [according to Mourinho] and this year the 50 scored by Messi are worthless?”
"http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leo-c22011 deserves to win [the Ballon d'Or] because he has achieved a tally not seen since the 1930s.”
"We're talking about a guy who has broken a record 70 or 80 years old. What better reward can he have than the Ballon d'Or?"
