The Portuguese mentor has admired his compatriot, stating that he is worthy of winning the coveted prize instead of Barca’s Messi.
Real Madrid’s head coach, Jose Mourinho, has voiced his opinion regarding his side’s highest goal-scorer for the past two seasons. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 deserves to win the Ballon d’Or as his goals have actually made a difference
for the club.
Mourinho went on to draw comparisons between the former Manchester United player and Barcelona’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296. He insisted that even though Messi scored more goals than the Portuguese skipper, the latter deserves to be named the winner of the Ballon d’Or.
The former Porto backed his claims by stating that even though the Argentine has managed to find the back of the net more frequently than Ronaldo, his goals hardly count for anything.
He maintained that Messi’s contribution towards La Blaugrana did not help them in retaining the Spanish La Liga title; whereas Cristiano’s exploits in front of the goal greatly aided Los Blancos in claiming their first Spanish Primera Division crown for
the first time in the last three years.
The massively successful manager went on to stress that Barca were unable to achieve success in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 and in the UEFA Champions League. Hence, Messi’s accolades have only helped him on an individual basis.
The Rosario native was as instrumental as ever in front of goal and he managed to net more than 50 goals in the Spanish Primera this season. However, even though the Argentine bagged the Pichichi award, his side could not reclaim their La Liga title.
Mourinho emphasized that Ronaldo must win the Ballon d’Or because his goals won the league.
While talking to reporters, the 49-year-old quoted:
"http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-c9622 has to be the Ballon d'Or winner, not because he was the top scorer, which he already was last season, but because his goals won the league. Messi scored 50 goals that have not been worth anything, just as Cristiano scored 42 last season that
were not worth anything.
"Cristiano has not been able to win the top scorer award and I think that should now be offset by the Ballon d'Or."
Jose Mourinho has finally managed to break Barcelona’s dominance over Spanish football, while Real Madrid were clearly better than the Catalans in the course of the current season.
