Dembele was interviewed: I am content to be one of the popular Golden Ball! Next goal: Club World Cup!

In an exclusive interview with the "People" before the Club World Cup, Ottoman Dembele responded calmly in the face of the call for the Golden Ball Awards: "Being one of the popular is a victory." Behind this sentence is the 27-year-old Frenchman's counterattack path from "Barcelona parallel goods" to "four championship cores".

Dembele five years ago was still the "negative textbook" of Camp Nou: he was late for FIFA game training, was injured in 102 games in five years, and was booed by fans to "abandoned millions of dollars". This season, he became the God of War in Paris: 47 goals (33 goals and 14 assists), winning four championships in the Champions League + Ligue 1 + French Cup + French Super Cup. In the Champions League final, the director assisted the director twice to beat Inter Milan 5-0, running a lightning speed of 33.92 km/h. Even Messi's former "Argentina Dembele" joke has now completely reversed!

However, Dembele did not intend to lie on the credit book. He is preparing for the Club World Cup with all his might. To him, the trophy is of great significance and is the last piece of puzzle that "puts the perfect end" of this fantasy season. If he can win the cup, it will definitely be a powerful plus for him to win the Golden Globe Award. In the interview, he also shared the moving moments after winning the Champions League. It was not how he celebrated himself, but he specifically mentioned the tears of captains Marginhos and Jinpenbe: "It was really great to see the captains crying like that." The interaction with the fans at the end of the game was also described by him as "very special" and "a picture that will be remembered forever." He sighed: "We deserve all this."

Currently, Dembele is the number one favorite in the Golden Ball Awards, with odds firmly ranked first in the Golden Ball list, surpassing Yamal, Salah and other superstars. But he bluntly stated that the real battlefield is the Club World Cup: "I want to use this trophy to end the season." If crowned successfully, he will become the youngest Golden Ball winner in nearly a decade (28 years old), replicating the legend of Ronaldo winning the prize as the Champions League champion in 2017.
