There are nine candidates of the European champion club for the victory of the prize. The president had exposed himself by supporting the former Barcelona, but now the locker room is swanned. The Moroccan: “In the Champions League I scored in the quarterfinals, in the semifinal and in the final. If a defender realizes all this, he deserves to win even more than an attacker”
All that glitters is not gold. After the triumphal season and the conquest of the first Champions League, the PSG placed nine players on the list of 30 candidates for the golden ball. An exploit that, however, not only brings smiles to the locker room of Luis Enrique, since the first tensions are already emerging among the various suitors. And the initial unit in favor of Dembélé has already shattered, after Hakimi has positioned himself: “I deserve even more than an attacker,” said the full -back in an interview that the club tried to censor.
WAVE
–
In recent days, the French media had already reported that not all the players had liked the position of the president at Khelaifi in support of Dembélé. “It would be a real problem if he did not win him,” the manager said, but in early July when the France Football list had not been published, and probably not even the Khelaifi expected the wave of applications. In addition to Dembélé, in fact, Donnarumma, Doué, Kvaratskhelia, Vitinha, snow, Ruiz, Mendes and, precisely Hakimi author of 11 goals and 16 assists contribute to season.
Merits

The Moroccan, interviewed by Canal+, has put things clear: “The golden ball is a dream I had never thought about. If I have the opportunity to win it, I think I deserved it. I made a historical season since there are not so many players who have scored in the quarterfinals, in the semifinal and final (Dembélé did not do it, editor’s note), and that it is even more difficult for a defender. midfielder, instead I play on the four line and I have to think about defending.
Censorship
–
According to the team, the PSG press service tried to censor this part of the interview, but Hakimi opposed it, legitimately considering himself in the right to aspire to the golden ball. As precisely Dembélé who has so far never been unbalanced in public, nor lent to Lobbyng’s strategies in his favor, convinced that only the field decides everything. Donnarumma, on the other hand, yesterday via social media subliminally reminded the club and rival Chevalier, just bought to make him play in his place, to be the only candidate goalkeeper for the Golden Ball. For his agent, Vincenzo Raiola, Donnarumma widely deserves the prize, as explained in July at the Gazzetta: “Dembélé did a lot with his goals, but without the parades of Gianluigi against Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal, the PSG would never have won the Champions League”.
LINE
–
For now only Vitinha, in another interview, said he was honored to be among the pretenders, but emphasizing that Dembélé deserves him most of all. A statement as a company in line with Al Khelaifi’s speech that on the day of recovery of the season, on August 6, after being informed of Hakimi’s interview recorded a few days earlier, turned to the team, remembering that everyone deserves the Golden Ball. A way to try to calm the waters. To understand now what the PSG will do in the coming weeks to promote the candidacy of the favorite dembélé without indisposing all the other companions, and thus avoiding breaking that unit of the group that has made it possible to win the championship, a cup and the Champions League.
