The former Sporting Lisbon coach has hailed his compatriot, claiming that the Madrid icon deserves to win the Ballon d’Or.
Portuguese national team's coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 is worthy of being given the World Player of the Year award.
The retired defensive midfielder stated that Ronaldo deserves the award more than his competitors, while emphasizing the attacker’s ability to score crucial goals for his side.
Bento was of the opinion that the Portuguese skipper has proven himself to be the best in the world and that the Ballon d’Or trophy rightfully belongs to him. He stressed that given the Madrid number 7’s performance in the 2011-2012 campaign, there is no
doubt that he should win the coveted award.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 has indeed managed to impress worldwide audiences through his exceptional performance in the most recent season. The former Manchester United player was crucially instrumental for Los Blancos in their Spanish La Liga triumph this term.
The former Champions League winner scored a total of 46 goals for Los Merengues in the Spanish Primera, along with scoring a few more in Europe and other competitions.
Apart from scoring goals, the 27-year-old simply proved what a difference his presence can make on the pitch as he also aided his side’s attack by providing a number of assists.
Last season, the player managed to win the Pichichi award in La Liga, and was one of the three players voted as the finalists to win the Ballon d’Or.
Although Barcelona’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 claimed the trophy, Bento believes that Ronaldo should be awarded the next one.
While talking to reporters, the 42-year-old was quoted as saying:
"As such, I think he will be able to reach that goal [winning the Ballon d'Or]. He has done already what he had to do, from my point of view. What I mean by this is the season he had, the stats he posted and the fact that he won La Liga. As such, I think
he will be able to reach that goal [winning the Ballon d'Or]."
Currently, Ronaldo is preparing for his side’s Euro 2012 campaign in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 this summer.
