Fresh News - Ronald de Boer: "Ronaldo and Messi should share the Balon d'Or"

 Those who know Ronald de Boer have probably already heard about his twin brother, Frank de Boer. Both players had a very similar career, starting on Ajax and then adventuring themselves in Barcelona, Glasgow Rangers and a couple of Arabian clubs. Ronald had a total of 67 appearances for the Netherlands, on which he scored in 13 different occasions between 1993 and 2003. In a chat with ESPN Star, the Dutchman shared his view about the epic battle between Ronaldo and Lionel Messi for FIFA's "Best Player in the World" award, a trophy that is precisely embodied in the Balon d'Or.

Ronald de Boer: "Having in mind what Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi keep doing at the high-level, I see no other possibility than giving the FIFA Balon d'Or to both of them! I'm not neglecting the fact that they both benefit a lot from having players such as Xavi, Iniesta, Ozil or Xabi Alonso near them, but they do deserve all the praise they have been receiving", pointed out the Dutchman.

Still in many people's minds is the last Clasico at the Camp Nou, where both Ronaldo and Messi unsurprisingly became the center figures of an exciting match. The former Barcelona midfielder confessed his happiness in seeing the two best players in the World playing their part in the game and in such a proeminent manner.

Ronald de Boer: "I really enjoyed seeing both Messi and Ronaldo hitting the back of the net twice at the last Clasico. They don't get tired of impressing the World, week after week. However, I do think that Lionel Messi is the best football player to have ever played this game...", claimed the former Barcelona midfielder, just before defending the idea that the Spanish League is still far from being decided at such an early stage of the season and despite the big 8 points gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Ronald de Boer: "It's definitely too soon to say that Barcelona are going to be crowned champions at the end of the season. I'm not denying this has been a great start for the club, but there are so many unpredictable things occuring throughout the year, such as injuries or a slump in form, that no one can tell who's going to win the league at this stage. Barcelona is yet to have a bad period this year and that is likely to happen sooner or later, even though the pressure is all on Real Madrid by now. In any case, we can clearly say that the Spanish League is still an open race", remarked Ronald de Boer when finishing his interview.

 

 

Beckenbauer: "Ronaldo deserves the Balon d'Or, but Messi will win it"

 

Football legend Franz Beckenbauer, commonly known as "The Kaiser", has spoken out about the next FIFA Balon d'Or award and pointed Barcelona's Lionel Messi as the most likely candidate to win it, despite Cristiano Ronaldo's remarkable efforts and impressive campaign over the last months. Currently working as a football pundit for a German TV network station, Beckenbauer continues following the sport very closely and is surely one of the few voices in the business who can claim to have won the FIFA Balon d'Or in the past, as he has done it twice, in 1972 and 1976. This year, the "Kaiser" has been thrilled to witness both Lionel Messi and Ronaldo's brilliance week after week, but confessed that he can't see the Portuguese star winning the Balon d'Or especially after seeing Messi picking up his form with the Argentinian National Team. As many football experts will continue to express their opinions on this Messi vs Ronaldo debate, you can also make sure you'll always be up to date with sports and gossip news, at the Fans Share website.

Very few players had such a big impact in football as Franz Beckenbauer. He was born in Munich in 1945, right after the World War II and debuted in Bayern Munich when he was still 18 years old. His career achievements speak for themselves, as he won the Bundesliga for 5 times and collected 3 UEFA Champions League. Playing for Germany, Beckenbauer was crowned European champion in 1972 and won the FIFA World Cup two years later, in 1974. The fact that he also won 2 FIFA Balon d'Ors would normally be enough of an achievement, but if we have in mind Beckenbauer usually played on a hybrid role between a center defender and a defensive midfielder, just allow his feats to gain a whole new dimension.

Nowadays, we're used to see teams playing with someone in front of the back four line and in some cases, we find it hard to conceive how would it be possible to play in a different way. Beckenbauer is actually still credited for being the main responsible for that tactical change, as he succesfully shifted from the classic defensive midfielder position, into what we call these days as being the "sweeper" ("líbero") role. Due to his innate leadership skills and overwhelming dominance on the pitch, he earned the nickname of "Der Kaiser"

Franz Beckenbauer: "Lionel Messi is way better placed to win the FIFA Balon d'Or than Cristiano Ronaldo, even though Ronaldo made enough to also deserve it. The only flaw I could think of about Messi had to do with his performances and contribute in the Argentina National Team. His football level there was far from being similar to what he constantly produces in Barcelona. However, we can't point him the finger with that anymore, especially after his two last games for Argentina, where he scored and assisted his teammates for goals", started by noting the "Kaiser" when attempting to justify why he believes that Messi is more favorite than Ronaldo to win the FIFA Balon d'Or 2012.

The battle for the undisputed best football player in the World still promises to have new and exciting chapters over the upcoming months and Beckenbauer recognizes that both Cristiano Ronaldo and José Mourinho are doing everything they can to fight the recent Messi hegemony regarding the FIFA Balon d'Or, since the Argentinian took the trophy home in the last 3 editions (2009, 2010, 2011).

Beckenbauer: "José Mourinho is doing all he can in order for Ronaldo to win the Balon d'Or this year, but everytime I look at Messi playing, I just can't see a different scenario than him winning his 4th FIFA Balon d'Or in a row. However, Ronaldo's capacity and constant thirst to score goals can be seen as enough of an argument to also make him worthy of winning this trophy", stated Beckenbauer to the German DPA press.

As referred by Beckenbauer, Real Madrid's coach José Mourinho is also trying to have an active voice on this endless debate about Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese manager recently claimed that it would be inconceivable to allow that Messi receives 4 FIFA Balon d'Ors, while Ronaldo only has one.

Mourinho: "It's impossible to think that Lionel Messi may win four FIFA Balon d'Ors, while Cristiano Ronaldo only won one so far. However, if Leo ends up winning it, I will naturally respect the decision", remarked the 'Special One' in an interview granted to France Football.
