Joan Laporta responded to Lamine Yamal’s comments regarding the “Golden Ball” vote.
When asked about the Barcelona star’s assertion that he should win the award, the “Blaugrana” president did not find it arrogant.
He specifically stated:
“I’d be very happy if Yamal won the Ballon d’Or. I think he deserves it. I think it’s good for him to promote himself, because others do the same. I didn’t see all that criticism when other players were saying they deserved the award. Besides, things have changed a bit; young players are very carefree. Lamine put it… nicely.”
