Robben Apparently Supports Cristina Ballon D'OR Win, but then Denies It
Oh man, I am sick of all this. So, now we have BAYERN players supporting Cristiano. Ha, this is getting out of hand. So it was believed that Robben now said Cristiano deserves it over Ribery and it obviously made headlines, him being a teammate. Now, Robben has now denied he said such a thing...so what is really happening?
I just want to know how the story got reported because only TWO things are possible. First, Robben is lying and he did in fact say Cristiano should win. That would be pretty dark and crass of Arjen, because he is one that benefited A LOT from Ribery's assists that included the defining goal in the Champions League Final. To now turn around and pick some other dude? That's low.
The other is that there is a real agenda to make Cristiano win this Ballon D'OR and people are going so far as to now create rifts in the Bayern dressing room and even perpetuate a situation where Ribery's OWN players do not even value his quality. Again, that is just PLAIN LOW!
I couldn't really give a shit anymore and I hate having to comment on this nonsense. I would rather just focus on enjoying the great footballing skills and dribbling that Ribery shows EVERY TIME that I see him, a dumb award is not needed for me to appreciate that.
