The list of candidates will be made known on August 6th. In addition to the champions of PSG and Inter there are Donnarumma, Kane, Lewandowski and Raphinha. With Yamal on the launching pad
Ousmane Dembelè has put on his best face: “Golden ball? When you play PSG there is more importantly than an individual prize”. And the same made Lautaro Martinez: “First Inter, then comes the rest”. Superstition, hypocrisy, modesty. Do you. It all applies when the glory is at stake. And even if they avoid exposing themselves, it is clear that the Champions League final of Monaco on May 31 between PSG and Inter will also be decisive for the assignment of the France Football Trophy. A kind of final clash overlooking the Golden Ball. For Dembelè the endorsement came from the heart of Grandour, from the teammates (Donnarumma in the first place), and since Paris is always Paris, be sure that he will have a weight. Dembélé has experienced an exceptional season, scored 33 goals in 42 appearances plus 13 assists, has shown constancy, strength, energy. He was decisive in the crucial moments and with Luis Enrique he found incredible vital energy. The Toro Martinez, a courageous captain of the Inter of Simone Inzaghi, is no less. From Copa America to Serie A, but above all his candidacy goes from goals to the Champions League, 9 in 13 games.
The golden ball is one of those trophies that live in balance on fate. It is not enough to have won, unleashed enthusiasm and scored. The company is needed. And the Champions League, when you talk about European football, is the greatest there is. The Totopallone d’Oro has long started. Stephane Courbis, agent of the French market, said his: “Donnarumma and Lautaro? For me they have no chance. I think Dembelé will be the favorite if the final will win”. The Monaco duel therefore opens glimpses on the future. And on the most coveted prize, which recognizes the size in football. The list of candidates will be made known on August 6th. But certainly inside there are Gigio Donnarumma, between paradises and hells of a season that has seen him still the protagonist. His bag, however, is behind the other two.
enfant prodige
–
And then there is Yamal, a child prodigy of Barcelona who, however, will not be in the final: the Inter of Lautaro Martinez eliminated him. Ronaldinho, who won the Golden Ball, tried to push Yamal towards Yamal: “Messi and I have already made history, now it’s up to Lamine Yamal to do the same. Lamine is about to win the golden ball. There are other great players in the world, but he is part of that elite”. It will not win this year, but the future is all his. In addition to Dembelé and Lautaro, the list then includes Kane, Lewandowski and Raphinha candidates not entirely protagonists of France Football Oscar. Lautaro’s path also remains linked to an authoritativeness that the bull has found over time. Captain, driver, example. Factors perhaps to see on the backlight, but which make Martinez a credible candidate. Dembelé is instead the man who decides, and this always likes when the golden ball is at stake. For this reason, the Champions League is a decisive act, the last for this long and intense season.
