#3 Thierry Henry makes surprising Ballon d'Or claim
Monaco head coach Thierry Henry revealed his Ballon d'Or favorite and surprisingly he has given a snub to both Messi and Ronaldo.
Trending
He favors a French player to win the Golden Ball this year given France's World Cup triumph, but according to him the best individual player who can claim the honor is Eden Hazard.
Speaking to Sky Sports News, the 1998 World Cup winner, said, "I think it would be a shame if a French player does not win the Balon d'Or, apart from Eden Hazard because he was extraordinary at every World Cup match - defensively and on the counter-attack."
It might be interesting to know that Henry was the assistant coach of Belgium at the World Cup this summer and thus inclination towards the Chelsea superstar is understandable.
