Real Madrid defender, Sergio Ramos believes he could be the
man to end the current monopoly of the Ballon d’Or.
Ramos believes the idea of him winning the Ballon d’Or ahead
of Lionel Messi or Real Madrid team-mate, Cristiano Ronaldo would not be
“crazy”.
Messi and Ronaldo have monopolized the award for the last
nine years since Kaka, then of AC Milan, was named the world’s best player.
Cannavaro picked up the prize in 2006, leading Ramos – a
fellow defender and former Madrid colleague of the Italian – to conclude that
he could also be in with a chance.
“The Ballon d’Or has been a personal affair lately between
Messi and Ronaldo,” he said. “But Cannavaro, for example, who was a friend of
mine, won it.
“I do not see [the idea of winning] it as crazy. If they gave
it to me, it would be a historical moment,” Ramos said.
