The Portuguese skipper has voiced his views regarding the prestigious accolade, asking for a fair result this time around.
Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo has admitted his desire to be named as the FIFA Ballon d’Or. The forward is expected to be in contention for the coveted award and many believe that he is worthy of winning it.
The Madrid number 7 has expressed that it is an aspiration for him to win the Golden Ball as it is one of the most esteemed individual accolades in the modern game.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 has already won the Ballon d’Or once during his time with English Premier League giants, Manchester United.
The footballer is once again dreaming of lifting the honoured prize, however, he is facing stiff competition in the form of Barcelona’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296.
The Argentine has been successful in claiming the award in the last three years, and he has managed to win it consecutively. Given the recently passed season’s performance, both players are likely to be in fierce competition for it.
The former Red Devil has argued that he wants the Ballon d’Or jury to reach a just verdict in this year’s edition of the awards.
He went on to stress that his performance in the past season, along with the brilliance of the Madrid head coach, Jose Mourinho, should not go unnoticed.
The 27-year-old particularly pointed out his side’s victory over their fierce rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, in the Spanish La Liga. According to the Portuguese international, that victory decided the winners of the Liga BBVA and hence it should be taken into consideration.
While talking to reporters, the footballer was quoted as saying:
"It's something I always aspire to and I'd be delighted for myself and my coach to win it, because we're up there with the best. What I want is a fair result because the Spanish league is the toughest in the world and we competed against Barcelona, who're
a difficult opponent and we came out on top. For that reason I'd love for both me and my coach to win.”
Even though Messi has only won the Copa del Rey this season, his goal-scoring tally is remarkable and that gives him an edge over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629.
