The Portuguese centre-back is of the opinion that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 is the best player and the world and the only thing stealing that away from him is his bad image.
Currently, there is a debate going on about who should win the FIFA Ballon d’Or award and most recently, the Portuguese centre-back, Pepe, came out in the open in order to defend his Real Madrid team-mate, Cristiano Ronaldo.
For the past three seasons, it has been http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 who has been winning the prestigious individual honour. However, this season many believe that it should be Cristiano Ronaldo who should win the FIFA Ballon d’Or award.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 away from the individual honour is his ‘bad’ image which has been following him for quite some time now.
However, the Real Madrid defender also highlighted that Cristiano Ronaldo is easily the best player in the world and he was the sole reason why Real Madrid won the Spanish La Liga last season.
While speaking about his Portuguese counterpart, Pepe said:
“Cristiano is the best player in the world to a lot of people. He was a big reason why we won the title last season.”
“I think the reason he may have an image problem is largely down to the Press. People raise a lot of questions, and that gives his this 'bad guy' image.”
“The only thing we worry about though, is that he's happy and can help us win.”
“If it was up to me, Madrid would extend his contract for as long as possible.”
Other players who are in line to win the FIFA Ballon d’Or this time round are the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 stars, Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi.
Andres Iniesta has already won the UEFA Player of the Year award, while Lionel Messi was deprived of that title.
However, when it comes to the FIFA Ballon d’Or award, many believe that it should be the Portuguese skipper, Cristiano Ronaldo, who should win the prestigious honour as he helped Real Madrid win the Spanish La Liga and also helped them qualify for the UEFA
Champions League semi-final.
Moreover, Ronaldo was also the player who helped his national team reach the semi-final stage of the Euro 2012, which they eventually lost to the champions of Europe, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011.
