Iker Casillas is suddenly being considered as heavy favourite to win the FIFA Ballon d’Or award and Valdes believes that a goalkeeper winning such an award will be an honour.
While http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815 has managed to impress the footballing fans all around the world by standing guard between the two posts.
The Spanish goal stopper is considered to be one of the best goalkeepers in not only the world; in fact, in the history of football.
Iker Casillas has helped his club Real Madrid reach dizzying heights; moreover, he has also helped Spain win 3 prestigious competitions.
One thing which adds to his accolades is the fact that he is not only an amazing goal-stopper; in fact, he is also a phenomenal captain and under his captaincy, Real Madrid won the Spanish La Liga this season, while the Spanish national team managed to win
the European Championship for the second time in succession.
With Casillas being a phenomenal goalkeeper and a captain, many consider the Spaniard to win the Ballon d’Or despite the competition which is being offered by players like Messi and Ronaldo.
This season Ronaldo helped Real Madrid win the Spanish La Liga. Moreover, he also took his national team, Portugal, to the semi-final stage of the Euro 2012.

On the other hand, Lionel Messi has managed to score 72 goals in a single season, something which no player has ever managed to achieve while playing in the Spanish La Liga.
The Argentine maestro has also been phenomenal while playing for the Argentine national team, even though they did not participate in an international tournament this season.
Both these players have done a phenomenal http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684, but Casillas is now being considered a favourite to win the prestigious individual award.
While speaking about Casillas winning the award, Valdes said:
“It would be an honour to have a goalkeeper win the Ballon d’Or. However there are others who can win it also.”
Casillas and Ronaldo are the only players who can stop Messi from winning the prestigious award for the fourth consecutive time.
