José Mourinho gave an interview to the magazine 'France Football', which will be published in Friday's edition. A small insight into what the coach said includes one sentence defending Cristiano Ronaldo: "Surely Messi can’t win four Ballon d'Ors and Cristiano just the one".
The Portuguese coach's comments gain even more relevance as the magazine is the same one that shares the name of the single most important prize in football in collaboration with FIFA.
As was the case last year, during the months leading up to the award of the Ballon d'Or – which will take place on 7th January, 2013 – opinions are beginning to fly around regarding who deserves to scoop the award.
Real Madrid coach Mourinho already told Portuguese newspaper 'A Bola' who he thought should take home the prize: "Let's not joke about. The Ballon d'Or for the best player will either go to Ronaldo or Messi. But it makes me think: Should you win the Ballon d'Or without winning consecutive titles and without winning anything important? I don’t want to hear about the Intercontinental Cup, which I don’t want my team to play in, or the Supercopa de España."
Two other sentences of note that appeared in the interview were: "I don't need anyone to defend me" and the new force in French football: "PSG is not a great team yet."
