Dieumerci Mbokani, the Congolese footballer, expressed his belief that he deserves the 2012 Golden Shoe award in an interview with Sud Presse. He emphasized his growth as a player, stating, “I am no longer the same player as when I was at Monaco or Wolfsburg. I have hardened and softened.” Mbokani, who had previously won the Ebony Shoe, hopes to secure the Golden Shoe this time, saying, “I already had the Ebony Shoe, but I don’t want to settle for it.” He considers himself a favorite for the award due to his high-level performance in both rounds, expressing a willingness to attend the ceremony even if he doesn’t win. Mbokani also mentioned the significance of his son being born in Liège.
