Pep Guardiola He announced a few hours ago who is his candidate for the Ballon d’Or in 2024. And that is none other than one of his players in City of Manchester: the one from Madrid Rodri. The midfielder, considered by the Catalan coach himself as his extension on the pitch, is the one who deserves to win the award in his opinion.
“I would love for him to win it, for the players this award means a lot. I have said it other times, both individually and collectively, for the club and for the team, it would mean a lot. He has had a very good season,” he said of the Spanish international, winner of the Premier and Euro Cup and who, although called up by De la Fuente yesterday, will not be able to play in the first match due to a penalty for the ‘Gibraltar case’.
Guardiola added, however, that “there are many good teams and good players, and it’s not in my hands either. I think he deserves it, but it’s the people who vote. Not just because of what he’s done this season.” “He has had a lot, especially in the Premier, but also with Spain in the Euro Cup. But I insist that there are other players who have had good seasons.”
