Khvicha Kvaratskhelia talks about the Ballon d’Or
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia spoke about the Ballon d’Or in an interview.
Asked whether missing the World Cup could affect his chances of winning the prestigious award, Kvaratskhelia said it ultimately depends on those who decide the winner.
“It is a great honour when legends like Michel Platini and Toni Kroos consider me a favourite. When even one person believes that I deserve to win the award, it means I am doing my job well, and I want to continue performing at this level.
In football, as in life, I believe anything is possible. We will see what life has in store for me. I am ready for anything.”
The Ballon d’Or ceremony will take place in London on October 26.
Kvaratskhelia is among the 30 nominees for this year’s award.
