Discussion on Winning the Ballon d'Or
I read you say in an interview where they asked you about the Ballon d'Or, that you've
been on the verge of winning it a few times, that you said:
"I don't know if one
day I'll be popular enough to win it."
Yeah, everyone knows that if you want to win
the Ballon d'Or, it's not just
enough to do things well on the pitch, also that—
you have to make a name for yourself, how football works day to day.
It happens with men just like women.
In other words, create a brand.
Yeah, that's how it is. And you have to accept it, and within that,
um, you have to figure out what's important to
me.
And I can't do that because I won't be able to enjoy my
football enough.

T'he llegit dir en una entrevista que et preguntaven per la Pilota d'Or, que has estat a les portes de guanyar-la unes quantes vegades, que deies: "No sé si algun dia seré prou popular com per guanyar-la". Sí, todo el mundo sabe que si tú quieres ganar
el Balón de Oro no es solo suficiente hacer cosas bien dentro del campo, también que-- tienes que crearte un nombre, como funciona el fútbol día a día. Pasa con los chicos como los chicas. O sea, crear una marca.
Sí, es así. Y tienes que aceptarlo y dentro de eso, eh, tienes que buscarte qué es importante para mí. Y yo no puedo hacerlo porque no voy a poder disfrutar suficiente mi fútbol.
