Barcelona star Lionel Messi reveals he would give anything for the Ballon d'Or and he believes Zlatan Ibrahimovic as well as Kaka are also in the running for the award... The Argentina hit-man has been outstanding for Barcelona and he is favourite to win the Golden Ball alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. Messi has spoken of all things Calcio and he believes Italian striker Giuseppe Rossi has a great future ahead of him. The striker also reveals his sadness that Ronaldinho is not included in the list of nominees. "I don't know what I would give for the Ballon d'Or as I would be the first Argentine to win it. [Alfredo] Di Stefano won it as a Spaniard and [Omar] Sivori did it as an Italian," Messi told La Gazzetta Dello Sport. "I am really sorry that Ronaldinho is not in the running for the award. I speak with him all the time and we text each other. He is happy at Milan and he is always getting better. "Ronnie is a phenomenon even as a person. When Italians get to know him well you will say I was right. "Who would I give the award to? I would give it to Aguero, but I think Torres and Xavi deserve it too. "Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Ibrahimovic and Kaka are all in the running. The only one missing is Iniesta and I don't understand why as he is great. "Ibrahimovic? He is great. He scores incredible goals and he has improved so much since he has played for Inter as well as the arrival of Jose Mourinho. You can tell he is having fun. "Rossi? I saw him against Atletico. He is a great goalscorer and he has a massive future ahead of him." Messi then had a few words on Argentina and the decision to give Diego Maradona the coaches' job. "I know Diego appreciates me and I have no trouble with what he said about me in the past," added Messi. "There will be no problems with him on the bench. He is a great man and I admire him for what he gave Argentinian football." |

Perhaps its because Aguero is his best mate and Xavi plays for the same team as him. Plus the only first hand expereince Messi has had of Ronaldo were two games when Ronaldo was awful. It's an Italian magazine so i wouldn't be surpirsed if they slipped in names like Kaka, Ibra and Guiseppi Rossi without Messi saying anything about them. |

This will annoy you as well mate (from the same interview with Gazzetta dello Sport): Q: Who is your most dangerous rival in Europe? A: If I have to choose, it's Liverpool. They have Torres, Gerrard, Kuyt, Mascherano, and they're difficult to play against. Perhaps there are teams that play better, but I see them in the final in Rome. |

Well Ronaldo was not awful and Messi had little end product in both games... Messi is a girl. |

Ok then, Ronaldo was not Ballon D'Or standard in either game. Messi had little help, was coming back from injury, and was playing against the best defence in the world. |

You did. But it ran out last year, you can only hold a buy out clause for 1yr i think. |

So basically, Messi isn't aware of Ronaldo's 42 goals in all competitions. |

nah otherwise what would be the point, it is highly unlikely you will let a player go and then want him back at the end of the season?

It might be 2 years then, but its a bit unfair if he suddenly becomes good at his new club and then his old club poach him back. |

yes but the real question is are you just making that up or guessing or do you have any real reason to believe that? |
