Lionel Messi having more Ballon d'Or wins than Cristiano Ronaldo is 'really annoying' - Juventus coach, Maurizio Sarri says
Last year, Lionel Messi won his sixth Ballon d'Or and broke ties with his arch-rival Cristiano Ronaldo after they dominated the prestigious annual honour for the last decade.
Â
Maurizio Sarri, the coach of Juventus has now said that he is not happy that Lionel Messi has won the coveted award one more time than his forward, Cristiano Ronaldo.Â
Â
According to the Italian coach, it is 'really annoying' and he is determined to help Cristiano Ronaldo win another Ballon d'Or.Â
Â
'I would like to help Cristiano win the sixth Ballon d'Or first,' Sarri told reporters after their win over Udinese.
Â
'It's really annoying thinking that someone won more [Ballons d'Or] than him. I think about him and I think helping him, it is my goal and the goal of the team. It is right for him.'
Â
Sarri also tipped Paulo Dybala to challenge for the award in the future.
Â
'Dybala is going to be one of the contenders in the next years. I think so,' Sarri added. 'Dybala is a top player. As every top player when they are becoming confident and having the right age, they are playing like a top player.
Â
'I don't think a manager can teach something to a top player. Dybala is going to leave a mark in world and European football in the next years.Â
Â
He has got the right age to leave a mark and he's still got many years of his career. He is really confident in this moment after a few difficulties in the past.'Â
