The midfielder is happy to bring the award to Spanish football
Midfielder for Manchester City and Spain Rhodri commented on the presentation of the Golden Ball 2024 award. The Spaniard is happy to join the cohort of the best players in the world.
“This is a special day for me, my family and my country. Today the victory is not for me, but for Spanish football, for many players who did not win it and deserve it, like [Андрес] Iniesta, Xavi [Эрнандес]Iker [Касильяс]Sergio Busquets and many others.”
“Today many friends wrote to me and said that football has won by making visible so many midfielders who worked in the shadows and today they are coming into the light.”
“I’m a regular guy with values, who studies, who tries to do things the right way and doesn’t try to follow stereotypes, and even so, I was able to reach the top, and it’s thanks to all of you.”
This year, the midfielder won the English champion title, the FA Cup, and also became the European champion with the Spanish national team. Rodri received the Euro 2024 Most Valuable Player award.
The award ceremony for the 2024 Ballon d’Or winners, according to tradition, took place at the Chatelet Theater in Paris. The top 3 also included Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham.
