Former Real Madrid defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 or Cristiano Ronaldo who deserve to win the much-coveted Ballon d’Or trophy.
The centre-back thinks there are other players who deserve to win the trophy this time. Cannavaro has also admitted that it is hard for him to understand why many people have not considered or tipped the trophy to be given to the likes of Andres Iniesta
and Andrea Pirlo.
The former Italian captain said that he doesn’t believe the award will be between Messi and Ronaldo this time around. The former Juventus man also revealed his pick of players for this year’s Ballon d’Or and said that he will rather choose Iniesta or Pirlo.
Messi has already won the trophy three times. If he wins again, he will be the first player ever to achieve such a feat.
"I [don't think it is] between Messi and Ronaldo - I'd choose Pirlo or Iniesta," the former Italy international told reporters.
The Italian has remarked on the outstanding achievements of Barca’s midfielder, Iniesta. He had words of praise for the Maestro and considers him to be among one of the best players in the world of football.
"Iniesta is amazing with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 and has won the last two European Championships.”
Moreover, the former FIFA World Player of the Year has praised compatriot, Pirlo. He hailed the player’s feat of achievements so far in his career.
Pirlo is currently playing with the Italian giants, Juventus, at the Serie A.
"Pirlo is extraordinary, and has not only won the Scudetto with Juventus but reached the final of Euro 2012 with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926."
However, the 39-year-old understands that it will not be easy for both players to win this award especially when Messi and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 are still around and firing on all four cylinders.
"Of course I realise that it will be difficult for them to overcome two star players like Messi and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629," he added.
Cannavaro is only the second defender in the history to have received the FIFA World Player award. Previously it was won by Lothar Matthaus of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904.
