Darren Bent Criticizes Palmer’s Ballon d’Or Nomination
Former England striker Darren Bent has criticized the Ballon d’Or organizers for including Chelsea’s Cole Palmer in this year’s nominations. Bent questioned Palmer’s selection, pointing out that the 22-year-old neither won a trophy with Chelsea nor regularly started for England.
Palmer was named among the top 30 players in the world for the 2024 Ballon d’Or, alongside stars like Rodri, Jude Bellingham, and Kylian Mbappe.
Despite scoring 27 goals and providing 15 assists in 48 games last season, Bent argued that Palmer’s lack of trophies should have excluded him from the prestigious list. Speaking on talkSPORT, Bent said, “He didn’t win anything and doesn’t start for his country. How is he one of the 30 best players in the world?”
Nigerian footballer Victor Osimhen spoke about his childhood days and the difficult experiences he faced growing up.
He revealed that his mother was the breadwinner of the family and that her death deeply affected them.
“My mom was the breadwinner of the family, but she and my dad never had issues because of it.”
He shared that when his mother passed away, they not only missed her emotionally but also struggled financially without her support.
Fans related to his story and applauded how he has now risen to greatness.
It has been revealed that Ruben Amorim’s possible next step could be taking over as Benfica’s manager, replacing José Mourinho at S.L. Benfica.
It can be recalled that the manager was released from Manchester United F.C. in January and has since been seeking his next step.
He has now emerged as the top candidate to become Benfica’s new manager.
Rio Ferdinand has reacted to talks surrounding Xabi Alonso and the managerial position at Real Madrid.
It was reported that Xabi Alonso had signed a contract with the club to become their manager.
Ferdinand then shared his thoughts on the move “I’m genuinely surprised he’s taken that position. I’m not suggesting he’s the wrong choice.
“The reason I’m taken aback by his decision is that I thought he would have been patient enough to see how the Arne Slot situation at Liverpool would unfold.”
He explained that Alonso could have possibly become Liverpool manager with enough time and also spoke about Alonso’s love for the club.
