Javier Tebas Names His Favorite Player for 2023 Ballon d’Or : Javier Tebas, the president of La Liga, has named his favorite player for the next edition of the France Football Ballon d’Or. The identity of the stated player is quite surprising.
The season is far from over, but so far a few players have already taken the lead in the Ballon d’Or race. Of course, Lionel Messi seems to be the big favorite, especially following his victory at the World Cup with Argentina this winter.
Kylian Mbappé is also one of the contenders thanks to his immense World Cup and his good season, not to mention Erling Haaland, who has broken record after record since his arrival at Manchester City at the start of the season.
But for Javier Tebas, the president of La Liga, the favorite to win this individual coronation is a completely different player.
On the occasion of the introduction of the documentary Fanáticos de lo Real this Thursday, the president of the Spanish league did not hide his admiration for Vinicius Jr, whom he even considers the ultimate favorite this year to win the Ballon d ‘Or.
“I remember when I said that Vinicius was the star a few seasons ago and I was criticized. He is one of the greatest players in the world.
I was surprised that he was not in the Fifpro team and at the Ballon d’Or (he finished 8th), he is one of the three or four best players in the world. He will be the Ballon d’Or” said Tebas.
Free to believe if his speech is totally honest. After all, it seems clear that La Liga’s president is voting for one of the players playing in the La Liga.
