Giovanni Castaldi considers that players other than Karim Benzema can claim the Ballon d’Or. The journalist is even betting on Sadio Mané, the Senegal and Liverpool striker.
At the microphone of the channel The Team, Giovanni Castaldi has commented on the possible awarding of the Ballon d’Or to Karim Benzema. The journalist considers that other players are better positioned to obtain the trophy and in particular Sadio Mané: “I think it’s very disrespectful of the season that Sadio Mané is carrying out. He won the CAN with Senegal. He can achieve the quadruple with Liverpool. They are also in the semi-finals of the Champions League. I find that like Benzema, Mané is also a very collective player. Individually, he performs exceptionally well. He is having a great year with another dominant player like Mohamed Salah. To exist with competition like that is strong. Mané is more than in the race and at least on par, if not ahead of Benzema”did he declare.
This season, Sadio Mané has 19 goals and 3 assists in 42 appearances for the Reds. We can assume that the World Cup which will be played at the end of the year will be decisive for the election of the Ballon d’Or…
