The famous Ukrainian coach named his favorite in the fight for the prestigious football award.
Lionel Messi should not have won the Ballon d’Or in 2023. This is what the famous Ukrainian coach Myron Markevich thinks. According to the expert, last season the leader of the field was the young Norwegian Erling Haaland, who set a bunch of records in the Premier League.
“I don’t think Messi deserves to win the Ballon d’Or this year, even though he is the most powerful player in the history of football.
Winning the World Cup was the only thing to celebrate about Messi last season. He already has seven Ballon d’Ors, why does he need an eighth? This is not practical.
Haaland is my favorite. He scored a ton of goals last season and won the treble. I would put Mbappe second.
I also like Bellingham now, he is young but a top player. I think Bellingham will be in the running for the next Ballon d’Or. He is a unique football player, I haven’t seen anyone like him for a long time,” said Markevich in an interview with Ukrainian Football.
We remind you that the legend of the German national team, Lothar Matthäus, also believes that Messi should not receive the Golden Ball.
