🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Thierry Henry, on the controversy sparked by his question to Lamine Yamal:
"I've seen a lot of people talking about what happened during the Ballon d'Or ceremony, so I want to clarify a few things for those who got very angry and upset over things that really don't deserve all this fuss."
"First and foremost, regarding Lamine Yamal, I was absolutely not trying to hurt his pride or damage his ego."
"The thing is, I thought about the fact that he had won this award for the third time, so I simply asked him whether this was really the award he wanted to win."
"That question made a lot of people in the room laugh. We all know which award Lamine really wanted, but unfortunately, he wasn't able to win it."
"I'm a huge admirer of Lamine Yamal, and I had absolutely no intention of hurting his pride."
"I can understand that some people didn't like the joke, but please don't turn it into something else."
"Lamine is actually one of those players I would happily pay money just to watch play football. I love him a lot."
"I was simply asking him whether that was really the award he wanted, because I knew the Ballon d'Or would be presented later in the ceremony, and unfortunately, he didn't manage to win it."
"He's an incredible player, and I really enjoy watching him. I'd happily pay money to see him play."
I won’t take anything away from Harry Kane for winning the Ballon d’Or.
Being born in the right era makes all the difference.
I could easily name more than 10 strikers who were arguably better than Harry Kane but never won the Ballon d’Or. Timing is everything in football.
