Rodri Responds to Ronaldo’s Comments About His 2024 Ballon d’Or Victory
Rodri, the talented Manchester City and Spain midfielder, has responded to Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent comments about his 2024 Ballon d’Or win.
Ronaldo, who has claimed the prestigious award five times, expressed his belief that Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior was unfairly denied the title, stating, “Vinicius Jr should have won the Ballon d’Or, in my opinion it was clear.
It was unfair. This is why I love the Globe Soccer Awards, they are honest.”
Rodri, in an interview with AS, reacted to Ronaldo’s remarks, calling them surprising.
He said, “He knows better than anyone how the award works and, most importantly, how the winner is chosen.
This year, the journalists who voted decided that I should win it.”
The 28-year-old midfielder pointed out the irony in Ronaldo’s statement, adding, “These same journalists were likely the ones who voted for him to win the award in the past, and I imagine that at that time, he agreed with their decision.”
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
