Cristiano Ronaldo deserves the Ballon d'Or -Ronaldo de Lima


Last season depicted the excellence and the dominance of the name Cristiano Ronaldo in the world of Football. With Ronaldo picking awards for best player, best forward, and best goal, he has proved without a doubt that he deserves to be crowned with the Ballon d'Or award.

Brazilian Legend Ronaldo de Lima has seconded to this. According to ESPN, the 1997 and 2002 winner of the Ballon d'Or told Sky Italia: "I believe [Cristiano] will win it again this year,". He went on to say: "He is scoring lots of goals, plus he is helping with Real Madrid's general play. Messi is also playing well, but Cristiano's year is memorable. Messi's year is not turning out so memorable for him." Messi had a fairly good season but not as he would have expected. But does that cancel the chances of Lionel Messi winning the Ballon d'Or, even when statistics and public support is tending towards Ronaldo.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
