Roten: Why is Mbappe competing for the golden ball with Dembele? Cherky and others support the former because they don t want to offend him

With the end of the five major European leagues and the three major European Cups, the candidates for the Golden Globe Awards have become a hot topic. Paris star Dembele is regarded as the biggest favorite, and Mbappe is also among the discussions.

Paris former player Roten said to this: "Cerki and Cone support Mbappe? This is simply annoyed me. We don't need players to make such obvious statements. We also know why they both say that. They are both young players and certainly don't want to have conflicts with the captain of the national team, so they say Mbappe is a popular winner in the Golden Globes. And we all know that Cerki has a close relationship with Mbappe's family and friends.

"Mbappe this year is not worthy of the Golden Globes, just because he won the European Golden Boot Award and scored more than 40 goals, which is not enough to win him. The Golden Globe Award is a comprehensive evaluation award, not just looking at the data, which is correct. Mbappe is completely unable to compete with Dembele this year, even though they are all players who stand out. As the French national team, I think they should support Dembele, or simply avoid this topic.

"If you don't want to offend captain Mbappe for this, don't talk about it. Especially the team has people in charge of communication issues, and they know how to deal with it. Cherki and Cone could have said directly that they don't want to answer this question because it's a personal award, just let the reporters argue. Instead of getting Mbappe in, we all know he shouldn't be included in the discussion of the Golden Globes."
