D-3! Cristiano Ronaldo emerges as the frontrunner to succeed Lionel Messi for the Ballon d’Or France Football 2008. The award ceremony is scheduled for January 13, and the competition is fierce between Ronaldo, Franck Ribéry, and Lionel Messi, the four-time winner.
Ronaldo, a past recipient of the Ballon d’Or in 2008, confidently asserted his case for another win. “I’ve been on the podium for six years; it’s not a coincidence. The numbers speak for themselves. If I deserve to win it? Maybe, like last year or two years ago. I believe I deserve to win the Ballon d’Or every year. I’d like to win it every time, but I know it’s not up to me!”
In a lighthearted remark, Ronaldo joked, “Except me?! Just kidding, kidding. I don’t have a favorite player. There are fantastic players, and I enjoy playing alongside them, as is the case at Real Madrid. I also like playing against other good players.”
The Africa Top Sports.com community expressed their support for Ronaldo by voting for him in a poll. As the anticipation builds, the football world eagerly awaits the announcement of the prestigious award.
