Cristiano Ronaldo Say Lionel Messi Will Win Ballon D"or 2016
The Arsenal boss believes it is not logical for football to award prizes to individuals but admits he would like to see his midfielder be named the best for 2016
Arsene Wenger admits he would like to see Mesut Ozil win the Ballon dOr next year but feels individual awards in football are not logical.The Arsenal boss believes Lionel Messi should win the award for 2015 following his stellar year with Barcelona, although Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar are also in the running.
Wenger has previously criticised the award, insisting that a player could damage his career by focusing on individual prizes, and reiterated his stance ahead of the 2015 ceremony.
Asked if Ozil could win the award next year, Wenger replied: I wish, as I told you I am not a big fan of that [award].
"What is important is we are a team sport, and its not logical to me to just encourage individual effort.
"We live already in a society where its all about individualism. Coming from a team sport going to that as well is to me a little bit contradictory to what is the route of our sport."Source: http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3871/ballon-dor/2016/01/11/19203082/wenger-i-want-ozil-to-win-the-next-ballon-dor
