Star French striker Kylian Mbappe can win the Ballon d\u2019Or in \u201cany team\u201d, Ronaldinho told media Sunday, but the Brazilian would like him to win it with Paris Saint-Germain, \u201ca big club\u201d. \u201cA great player like him can have the opportunity to win the Ballon d\u2019Or in any team, but as I love PSG, I would like him to do it with PSG,\u201d the 2002 World Champion said. \u201cI hope he will win it. He is a good friend and a very great player. I like his style of play,\u201d he said during an interview. The prestigious award still eludes the French captain, who finished this year in third place \u2014 his best ranking to date. \u201cWinning the big competitions will help him a lot,\u201d said Ronaldinho, who wore No.10 for PSG from 2001 to 2003. \u201cPSG is a great club,\u201d the Brazilian said during a visit to Bangkok as an ambassador for Teqball, a novelty sport combining football and table tennis. Next year promises to be both busy and potentially uncertain for Mbappe. The 24-year-old could see a possible run to the finals of the Champions League, as well as the Euro 2024 with PSG. \u201cAs every year, it is very difficult (to win the Champions League). But PSG has a great coach, very great players, and therefore, everything is possible,\u201d the former Barcelona and Milan player said. But Paris coach Luis Enrique \u2014 under whom Ronaldinho played for a season at Barca in 2003 and 2004 \u2014 is a \u201cvery good coach.\u201d \u201cAs a player, he was very strong. I saw what he accomplished. I hope things go very well for him,\u201d he said. Mbappe also has to negotiate an uncertain contract, which could see his departure from Paris in June. Real Madrid, which has been courting him for several years, appears best placed to attract him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
