FC Bayern, News: Messi’s father reacts to support for Lewandowski
There was great indignation in many places when it was not Robert Lewandowski but Lionel Messi who received the award for world footballer. However, the Argentine’s father does not want to pay too much attention to all these voices. “Blah blah blah …. Let’s go on,” wrote Jorge Messi Twitter underneath a picture by the journalist Sergio Gonzalez, which shows the son with the Ballon d’Or.
Previously, the prevailing opinion was that the golden ball should have gone to Lewandowski, who, like last year, showed outstanding performances and scored at will, while Messi could not yet meet the high expectations after his PSG move and his greatest success with him the win America had with Argentina.
Among other things, Toni Kroos said in his podcast about the election: “If there are such individual awards, then they should also be fair. And in my opinion that is absolutely not the case this time. is above all the first place. ” Instead, Kroos spoke out in favor of team-mate Karim Benzema. Lothar Matthäus said: “To be honest, after this election I don’t understand the world any more. With all due respect to Messi and the other great, nominated players. Nobody deserves it like Lewandowski!” Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp said it would be “difficult for Lewandowski to get him at all” if the performance shown is not enough.
FC Bayern, News: Ferre speaks about a subsequent Lewandowski award
Pascal Ferre, Ballon d’Or boss and editor-in-chief of France Football, has brought another award from Robert Lewandowski for achievements in 2020 into play. Last year, the election had to be canceled due to the corona pandemic, in which Lewandowski would have started as the big favorite. “But I will not give a forecast now. Maybe,” said Ferre at the image on the subject.
Messi himself had already made it clear when receiving the award that there was no way around the Bayern star: “Everyone knows that you were the winner last year. I think France Football should give you the award for 2020. You deserve it and should have him at home too. ” Ferre said: “I heard what Messi said. We will talk about it and think about it. But we will take our time to make a decision.”
Ferre also praised the Pole and confirmed that he had been informed of the results of the vote before the result was announced: “Lewandowski is not only a fantastic player, but also a fantastic person. He knew beforehand that he doesn’t win and I don’t know how many players would have come then. But he was still so nice, so smart, that was so fair play! “
FC Bayern, News: Goretzka questionable for top game against BVB
In addition to the definitely missing Joshua Kimmich (Corona), FC Bayern are worried about the use of midfield partner Leon Goretzka before the top game at BVB on Saturday. As SkyReporter Torben Hoffmann reported that Goretzka had to end the training early on Wednesday and went to medical treatment.
Of the kicker spoke of a hip injury that endangers the regular player in Dortmund. Since Marcel Sabitzer is also likely to fail (calf injury), this would increasingly restrict coach Julian Nagelsmann’s options. It is conceivable that Corentin Tolisso, who was seeded under these circumstances, would be supported by a more defensive option like Tanguy Nianzou. A starting line-up of Marc Roca or Michael Cuisance, who have hardly been in demand recently, seems unlikely. A more offensive alignment with Jamal Musiala and an associated system change would also be possible.
In any case, Lucas Hernandez, who is optimistic about the game against Borussia, who is just one point lower, goes into the game kicker said: “We’re training very well, physically and tactically. We’re first, have a very good team. And of course we’re going to Dortmund to win and to stay at the top.”
