‘I Would Pick Lionel Messi Over Cristiano Ronaldo For Ballon D’or’ by starkid7k(m): 1:57pm On Sep 05, 2015 |
Chelsea football club midfielder Willian
picked Barcelona forward Lionel Messi
over Real Madrid star Cristiano
Ronaldo for the Ballon d’Or award, but
believes teammate Eden Hazard will
surely clinch the best player award soon. Belgium winger Hazard faced criticism
from club boss Jose Mourinho after a
slow start to the 2015-16 campaign. “I choose Messi over Ronaldo for the
best player award,” Willian was
quoted as saying by goal.com on
Thursday. But Willian is convinced that Hazard is
capable of one day being crowned the
best player in the world, and is
adamant that his international
compatriot Neymar will also come into
contention for the Ballon d’Or award. “I think so Hazard and Neymar can
also win the Ballon d’Or. They are two
great players. I think it depends on
them, but they have great potential to
reach that level. So I think if they
continue to develop, continue to grow, certainly they will have
everything to achieve this award,” he
said. Willian spoke of his admiration for
former Barcelona playmaker
Ronaldinho, insisting the Brazilian is
his idol in football and that he thinks,
in his prime, Ronaldinho was a better
player than both Messi and Ronaldo. “Ronaldinho is the biggest idol in
football for me. I like him a lot. I’ve met
him, but I never got to say that he is
my idol. In my opinion, I think that
Ronaldinho, at that time (between
2003 and 2005), was bigger than Messi and Ronaldo,” Willian said.
