Ronaldo should win Ballon d'Or with 99 per cent
of the votes, says James
The Colombia international has little doubt his
team-mate will win the award for a third time and
says he has learned a lot under Carlo Ancelotti
Real Madrid star James Rodriguez believes Lionel
Messi and Manuel Neuer will not even come close
to Cristiano Ronaldo in the Fifa Ballon d'Or vote.
The Portugal international dethroned Messi as the
world's best in 2013 and his team-mate has little
doubt the prolific attacker will once more bring
home the prestigious individual award this year
after firing Madrid to Champions League glory.
"It is an award all players dream of, but the Ballon
d'Or is Cristiano's right now," the Colombia
international told Marca .
"He'll win it again this year because he deserves
it, simple as that. He should win with 99 per cent
of votes. As our coach said, there is a huge gulf
between Cristiano and all the rest right now.
"His quality speaks for itself. He works very hard
to be what he is: the best in the world."
The former Monaco man then went on to praise
Carlo Ancelotti and underlined the Italian's role in
Madrid's success.
"Ancelotti is a great coach and we talk often. He
has taught me a lot these past few months. I'm
working hard to keep learning from him.
"We are all really happy to be working with Carlo.
He asks much more of everyone defensively
speaking. That's the key to Real's current good
form.
"The only way of achieving what we do is with
humility. There's no other way. Yes, it's a very
humble group."
