Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has stated that while he holds Barcelona's Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi in very high regard, he would have prefered another player to scoop the award.
Messi became one of a rare breed by winning the award two years in a row, after pipping Barcelona team-mates Xavi and Andres Iniesta to the finishing line.
"I would have chosen Xavi,Sneijder Or Milito"
I agree Messi is a good choice but the 3 above all deserved to be winners.
@Karim&Sok Agreeed
what does the golden ball mean? that the player who receives it is the best.
who is the best?
not sneijder, not forlan not milito
Although i support Barca and cheer for Messi
the 3 nominees should have been Sneijder, Xavi and Forlan
and the award goes to Sneijder, he did an amazing job with Inter and in the WC
anyways, another award to brag about when getting into mad arguments about who's better
Well, maybe Xavi or Iniesta would be nicer, with the fact that Messi won last year.
