"Balon d'Or for a German or Ronaldo is fair"

 

Bayern Munich's and Real Madrid's former player Xabi Alonso has expressed his Balon d Or favourite this year.

The 32-year old wants either Cristiano or one of the six Germans win this year.

"It would be fair if a German or Ronaldo wins, because they won World Cup and Ronaldo won Champions League" Xabi said to Daily Mail.

Xabi Alonso maybe true according to me. This year's Balon d'Or should be given to either Ronaldo or a German.

Giving the Balon d'Or to Neuer is no fault because he won the Golden Glove. Bastian Schweini was the man who helped Germany pip Argentina. Lahm is the captain of Germany and Kroos has been the most consistent and influential German of this year. Gotze is a small part of their World Cup but his winning-goal and a position in Bayern's XI this season gives him a chance. Whereas Muller's performances should be appericiated. Winning the silver boot and opening Germany's campaign with a hattrick was one of those Muller did this year. He also opened the scoring against Brazil and the winning goal against USA.

On the other side, Xabi Alonso believes Ronaldo deserves this year. The winger has been the most important player and also led them to Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Copa del Rey. When you count the records and goals Ronaldo have scored, there is no one near him.

However, Xabi Alonso was the headline in the Transfer Market this summer after his move to Bayern Munich.

"Real won the 10th Cup. I could have stayed through go somewhere. This is my last script of football. Bundesliga is getting better. And to play for best team in England, Spain and Germany is great". 

"CR7 will win it again".

 

Brazillian Ronaldo backs Cristiano to repeat 2013 success ahead of Lionel Messi in Balon'd Or list.

Ronaldo Nazario de Lima, also known as Brazillian Ronaldo has backed the Portugese to grab the prize for a second year in a row.

2002 World Cup winner Ronaldo has said that the man with his name will win the Balon d'Or 2014 ahead of Lionel Messi.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been in impressive form this season though he failed to hit the peak in his past three or four games. However, the Portugese has been clinical throughout the year as he scored 51 goals and also won numerous awards. The Real Madrid superstar has been awarded UEFA Champions League Player of the Year, European Golden Shoe, Pichichi award, LFP Player of the Year, LFP Striker of the Year, LFP Goal of the Year award.

CR7 also has a Champions League medal, Copa del Rey and UEFA Super Cup and a Club World Cup still to be played. 

Whereas, on the other side, Messi could achieve only the Golden Ball award this year. The Argentine was even pipped out for the Barcelona Player of the Year below Mascherano.

Though Cristiano had a World Cup to forget in which his side was shown the door at group stages, Ronaldo de Lima believes Ronaldo has been better than his rival this time.

"Messi's  year has been memorable like Cristiano. Cristiano is going to win again".

"I think Messi's year hasn't been fantastic".

'Cristiano Ronaldo or a German will win Balon d'Or'.

  

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has tipped his striker or a German player ahead of Argentine Lionel Messi for Balon d'Or.

The ex-AC Milan player has said that Cristiano Ronaldo or any of the 6 Germans will win the most prestigious individual honor this year.

Ancelotti  has revealed that he won't see Lionel Messi winning the award ahead of others. The Argentine and Ronaldo have won last seven Balon d'ors and Ancelotti believes this year Messi won't win them.

"Ronaldo has done everything to win it. Then there could be Germany players because they won the World Cup. I don't see other players who can be on the list," he told a press conference.

Ancelotti then responded to Ronaldo's comments on equalling late Di Stefano.

"Ronaldo believes he is Di Stefano's heir. He has this image, it's a very great compliment. everyone knows what he meant, and to have this image gives him great belief for the future. He deserves it."
