FIFA have announced the short-list of players for the most coveted award for players in the world of football, the Ballon d’Or. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 are both contending to win the trophy.
The current 'World footballer of the Year' and three times Ballon d’Or winner, Lionel Messi, has admitted that he is not happy with the constant comparisons the media always makes between him and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629.
Comparisons are always made between the two players who are always trying to outdo each other in every way possible. However, the Argentine has admitted that he is getting tired of the constant comparisons that are being made between
him and Ronaldo. He also claimed that he has no personal rivalry with the Real Madrid star.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 star has also mentioned that he is not concerned with what Ronaldo does and that he simply doesn’t care.
“It does not concern me what Ronaldo does or feels. Frankly, I do not care. He can do whatever he wants,” he admitted.
The Argentine has also talked about how the journalists and the media sensationalize things and how they try to compare the two of them whenever anything happens. He said the journalists are the ones who want competition between
him and the Real Madrid star.
“When anything happens journalists are always looking to compare the two of us. They always want a competition between us. I'm a bit tired of it all.”
Meanwhile, the 25-year-old has also spoken on this year’s Ballon d’Or award and the players who are challenging him for the trophy. He also had words of praise for Real Madrid goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815, whom he described as one
of the best goalkeepers in the world and who is always a headache for him.
“You cannot forget Casillas. For me he is a real obstacle as a goalkeeper. He is a very important player for Real Madrid, and for me, one of the best goalkeepers in the world – perhaps the best,” he concluded.
Lionel Messi is currently the leading goal-scorer in La Liga. He has so far scored 13 goals in 9 La Liga matches.
