Buffon ‘wins’ Golden Ball – reports Tuesday 7 November, 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juventus and Italy goalkeeper Gigi Buffon will be handed the 2006 Golden Ball, claims the Tuttosport newspaper on Tuesday.

The Turin-based daily suggests that the shot-stopper has pipped Real Madrid stopper Fabio Cannavaro and Arsenal's Thierry Henry for the European Footballer of the Year title.

Although the France Football magazine, who organise the award, won’t reveal the name of the winner until November 27 in Paris, Buffon is thought to have succeeded previous winner and Barca star Ronaldinho.

Buffon is one of 50 players on the France Football shortlist which also includes World Cup winning teammates Cannavaro, Gennaro Gattuso, Fabio Grosso, Andrea Pirlo, Luca Toni and Gianluca Zambrotta.

The numerous European journalists who assign the title handed in their votes last night which will allegedly see Buffon given the most prestigious individual honour in the game.

Buffon, who remained with Juventus despite their demotion to Serie B during the summer, would become the second goalkeeper to win the prestigious award after Soviet legend Lev Yashin in 1963.

He would also become Italy's fifth European Footballer of the Year after Omar Sivori [an oriundo] in 1961, Gianni Rivera in 1969, Paolo Rossi in 1982 and Roberto Baggio in 1993.

The former Parma man, linked with Chelsea last month, has recently been sponsored for the win by Rivera and ex-Juve playmaker Michel Platini, who won the title from 1983 to 1985.

:rofl2:

If Adriano wins it, I will personally steal the Golden Ball and award it to Buffon.

 

[chester]

Only Inter players making a chance for this are Viera or Grosso and I doubt they are among the favourites.

 

[china man]

if adriano wins the golden ball then inter needs to go to hell

Juve as the most winners of the Ballon d'Or. They could add another with Gigi.

Juventus - 8
F.C. Barcelona - 6 ½
A.C. Milan - 6
Bayern Monaco - 5
Real Madrid C.F. - 4
Manchester United - 3
Dinamo Kiev, Amburgo SV, Inter - 2
Ajax 1 ½
SL Benfica, Blackpool FC, Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Dinamo Mosca, Dukla Praga, Ferencvaros, Liverpool FC, Olympique Marsiglia - 1
Paris Saint-Germain, PSV - ½


The trophies won by a player sold to another team during the year he won the Golden Ball is shared by both teams. That's why we have teams with ½.

Juve 8(9) > Inter(2)

haha Inter equal with Kiev and Hamburg. Sorry Kiev and Hamburg.

 

[Daddi]

Wonderful news. Gigi really deserves it. But if Cannavaro didn't leave Juve I would've wanted him to recieve the golden ball.

But he betrayed us and I hope SuperGigi wins it!

 

[Falafel]

i hope buffon wins it
some people believe ricardo deserves it more than buffon here in abu dhabi

 

[Omair]

Inter needs to go to hell anyway
