Cristiano Ronaldo is facing stiff competition for this year’s prize and his agent is convinced that he deserves to win it.
Cristiano Ronaldo Has Done More Than Enough
The Man Utd star deserves to win this year’s Ballon d’Or like never before, his agent Mendes said. The 36-year-old is among the top candidates for the award for his performances in 2021, but has the ability to fight the likes of Jorginho, Lewandowski and Messi. Cristiano wants to claim the praise for the sixth time in his career, and Jorge Mendes believes he has done more than enough to win it, despite ending last season with one trophy – the Coppa Italia – his name.
What did Mendes say about Ronaldo?
Jorge Mendes said that the numbers and statistics associated with Ronaldo’s name speak for him and should be enough, in Mendes’ view, for Cristiano to win another Ballon d’Or. His remarkable 115 goals for the Portugal national team make him the record holder in the history of men’s international football. This year, Cristiano Ronaldo broke that 15-year record, to which he can add to be the top scorer in the history of professional football.
All these achievements, representing the greatest performance in football history, should be decisive in the award of the trophy, as Cristiano Ronaldo continues to demonstrate that he is, without a doubt, the best footballer in the world of all time. Mendes added that it is true that this is an individual trophy, but they will not forget that Ronaldo was the top scorer in the demanding Serie A and he was also the top scorer in the last European Championship.
He holds the record for goals in the Champions League and Ronaldo is the only player in the world to have won all in three different countries with maximum competitiveness, as was the case in England, Italy and Spain. All this at 36 years old, with an absolutely unique consistency, dedication and phenomenal ability to overcome difficulties. For Mendes, this year Ballon d’Or has a name and that is Cristiano Ronaldo. For Mendes, Ronaldo never deserved it. many.
