Arsenal boss furious with world best award

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has hit out at the Ballon d’Or, claiming that he does not want anyone to win this year’s award.


Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Franck Ribery are up for the annual FIFA prize this time around, but the French Coach has insisted that individual awards are bad for the game.

“Who do I want to win this year? I do not want anyone at all,” he told Telefoot.

“I am against individual awards. This is an endorsement of an individual which goes against the essence of our sport.

"I fight like a mad man against the award, which hurts football. Unconsciously, the player is prompted to favour individual performance over that of the team."
