The shortlist for the 2024 Ballon d’Or is about to be announced, and in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Spanish coach De la Fuente has been advocating for two “homegrown” candidates.
De la Fuente said, “Rodri and Carvajal are fully deserving of this award based on their performances and achievements. It would be unfair if they were not considered. I’m not talking about today’s performance, but their contributions over the years: Carvajal has won the Champions League six times, a unique achievement, while Rodri has won the Premier League countless times. I was inspired by Cannavaro, who could win this award as a center-back, so naturally, Rodri and Carvajal deserve it too.”
