WOMENS COACH OF THE YEAR – RALF KELLERMANN

Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo, according to all predictions and bookies is the biggest favorite to win Ballon d’Or 2014 Award. This season with Real Madrid he has won four titles, of which the most important of course was the Champions League trophy. Although he suffered a debacle with the national team of Portugal in Brazil, in Real Madrid’s jersey last season, he broke many records and his form he carried to new season as well.

Lionel Messi

Although last season Messi played very well, the impression is that the Portuguese and German made a lot more than the Argentinian who scored the most UEFA Champions League goals. Reaching the World Cup finals in Brazil should not be big advantage for Messi to win another Ballon d’Or.

Messi: It will be difficult to win Ballon d’Or, but I still believe in winning. In any case – anyone who wins it, it will be deserved.

Manuel Neuer

Neuer is a favourite for many. From the president of UEFA Michel Platini, to fellow goalkeeper (Reyna), many midfielders and strikers.

However, all point out the fact he is a goalkeeper and thus doesn’t stand a chance with the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentine Leo Messi in the same competition.
 
Neuer favorite of all, but an outsider, ” I am proud, Messi & Ronaldo are two brands ”
 
With that agrees and Manuel Neuer, who believes that his place among the top three in the world is a big deal for him.
 
” I am proud contender for the Ballon d’Or. Messi and Ronaldo are brands, superstars, they are much more than ordinary players and maybe because of it they have an advantage, ” said the German goalkeeper.
