Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has boldly tipped Paris Saint-Germain’s Vitinha to be the next winner of the prestigious Ballon d’Or award.
Frank made the surprising prediction immediately following his team’s 5-3 defeat to PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday.
The loss was largely courtesy of a stunning hat-trick from the Portuguese midfielder.Speaking after the high-scoring match in France, Frank was quick to praise his opponent: “Vitinha puts it in the top corner, in that situation, is very tricky…
By the way, Vitinha, the best midfielder in the world, he will be the next Ballon d’Or winner for me,” he told TNT Sports Football.
The midfielder was a key figure in Luis Enrique’s side last season, helping PSG secure an impressive four trophies, including both the UEFA Champions League and the French Ligue 1 title.
