Kroos attacks the Ballon d’Or: “It’s not fair”

Toni Kroos is not shy when it comes to giving an opinion. Accurate and agile of mind, as he is in the green, the Real Madrid footballer gave his opinion about the Ballon d’Or on the Einfach mal Luppen podcast that he publishes regularly with his brother Felix Kroos.

The German expressed his disagreement with the choice of Leo Messi as the winner of this particular edition of the Ballon d’Or, an award that, on the other hand, I assure not to interest him “at all” in football, always understanding it as a team sport.

“Congratulations to Leo Messi! My choice would have been Benzema. Why? Listen to him”, he was tweeting to promote the new episode of his podcast.

This is the reflection that could be heard in German within the program. “First of all, I must say that I am not at all interested in individual awards. But if there are, then they should be fair. In my opinion, this is not the case at all. For me, Benzema would have been number one if you were really looking for the best individual player from last year because I see closely how exceptional he is. There is no doubt that Messi is next to Cristiano Ronaldo as the player of this decade and has qualities that others will never have.. What fails in the election is above all the first place “He said about the award given by France Football.

With 613 points, Lionel Messi won the Ballon d’Or followed by Robert Lewandowski and Jorginho. Karim Benzema brushed the podium, but finally came fourth in the voting to the chagrin of Kroos and other colleagues, such as Lunin, who also publicly ranked him number one in the world.
