Last Monday, Lionel Messi won his seventh Golden Ball, award for best player in the world elected by the magazine France Football. Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the award on five occasions, was only in sixth place. On social networks, the Portuguese agreed to a publication of the page Cristiano Ronaldo – The Legendary, who disagrees with the position of the shirt 7 of the Manchester United and states that the athlete of the PSG is favored at the awards.
“43 goals in the year, 6 goals in 5 games in this Champions League, all decisive and a guy who, regardless of age, continues to work miracles and is the guy who most impresses the world most often. They still put the guy in 6th… Do you really think that 5 guys did more than him in the year? Never”, published the page.
“He (Messi) can do a discreet season, way below, they will always find a way to favor him and give him the prize. “Theft. Dirt. Shame. Simply regrettable,” he added.
In response to the publication, Cristiano liked and commented: “Facts”.
Hours before the award, which took place in Paris, Ronaldo countered statements by the magazine’s editor-in-chief France Football, Pascal Ferré. The journalist had stated that the Portuguese revealed to have ambitions of surpassing Messi in the number of golden balls.
“Pascal Ferré lied, he used my name to promote himself and to promote the publication he works for. It is unacceptable that the person responsible for awarding such a prestigious prize could lie in this way, in absolute disrespect for someone who has always respected France Football and the Golden Ball”, wrote the ace.
“The biggest ambition of my career is to win national and international titles for the clubs I represent and for my country’s national team. The biggest ambition of my career is to be a good example for all those who are or want to be professional footballers. The biggest ambition of my career is to leave my name written in golden letters in the history of world football”, he added.
