Moses "King of Balls" makes history again! At the Ballon d'Or awards ceremony in the early hours of Tuesday (31st) morning, Argentina's World Cup champion Mez, who led Argentina to win the World Cup last year, won the Ballon d'Or for the 8th time in a row, further leaving behind the number of times his rival C Ronaldo has won the award (5 times). The first time I won the Ballon d'Or in 2009, I have written numerous brilliant stories in the past 14 years. In the past year, I have experienced great changes such as winning the World Cup for the first time and entering the U.S. professional football team, and it is very likely that this will be the last time that the 36-year-old Mays will win the Ballon d'Or.
Thirteen of the last 15 Ballon d'Or elections have been won by Mays and Cron, with Cron failing to even make the shortlist this year. However, Mays is at the peak of his career at the age of 36, having helped Paris Saint-Germain win the Ligue 1 title in the past year, winning the North American League Cup for Inter Miami, and most importantly leading Argentina to the World Cup title in Qatar at the end of last year, with Mays scoring seven goals in the final week. He is undoubtedly the soul of the team.
If it wasn't for the World Cup title, Ernesto Charante, who helped Manchester City become the "3 Champions" last season, would have been the favorite to win the award, but in the end, Mays edged out Charante (2nd) and McBarbee (3rd), and received the Ballon d'Or from England's BECKHAM, who is the head of the International Miami team. Mays said, "It's so great to be here again and enjoying this moment, and I never imagined I'd be able to have a career like this," he said. It was my dream to win the World Cup and I'm glad I'm in one of the best teams of all time".
This summer, he decided to leave Europe to play in the U.S., and this may be the last time Mays receives the Ballon d'Or, and he is also generous in his praise of the future Ballon d'Or candidates: "Charlotte and McBarbee will one day receive the Ballon d'Or, and they've had an incredible year, and Charlotte is very qualified to receive the award this year, and he's won the Premier League, the UEFA Europa League, and all of the Top Goalscorers' awards, and I am sure that in the next couple of years, he'll get it.
He paid tribute to the late Argentine footballer Manatana, saying, "Finally, I would like to thank Manatana. Today is the anniversary of your death (October 30), and I would like to share this honor with you. On the other hand, Bongmadi, who led Spain to the Women's World Cup, won the Women's Ballon d'Or for the first time.
