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.”
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
