Cannavaro cheers for the Ballon d’Or nominee: “Jorginho deserves it, but Messi will win”

Fabio Cannavaro, who played for Real Madrid, Juventus and Inter Milan, made an analysis of current football in relation to the Golden Ball award. The former defender won the award in 2006 and revealed that he would like to see Jorginho achieve this milestone.

“Jorginho deserves it, but Messi will win,” said Cannavaro, in an interview with the newspaper The Gazzetta dello Sport.

In addition, he also commented on another compatriot who was nominated for the Yashin award, for best goalkeeper in the world. “Donnarumma is only 22 years old and will be able to win the trophy”, completed the former player.

Another question raised was about the Italian Championship this season. Cannavaro analyzed the competition and placed Napoli as his favorite to win the tournament, highlighting the solidity of the team and the different game solutions that coach Spallettii imposes on the team.

Finally, the former defender and world champion with Italy spoke about the Premier League. “After following some games in our Championship (Italian), I reinforced the idea that our football in terms of intensity and speed in transitions is a step behind the English, but we are growing”, concluded Cannavaro.
