Ashraf: I deserve the Golden Ball Award, the backcourt players have such performances than the forwards

August 10th Paris defender Ashraf was interviewed by French media Canal+, and in the interview he talked about topics such as the Golden Globes.

Ashraf: "When I was involved in the discussion of the Golden Globes, it was like a dream. If I had a chance to win it, I thought I deserved it. My performance this season is historic, and not many players can score goals in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals, and as a defender. People think I am like a forward, but I am a defender, and in the four-back system, it is even less easy to do that. My statistics this year are not something that a regular defender can have, and when a backcourt player can perform like this, I think he deserves the award more than a forward."

Ashraf also talked about the possibility of Paris Saint-Germain defending the Champions League title and mentioned the team The strength shown is stronger than Real Madrid: "I don't think it will be a hot topic because we are the current champions. We are strong, but I know that many teams have signed big-name players. But we will stay focused, stick to our own path, and hope to win the championship again. Are there any competitors? Real Madrid, Barcelona, Liverpool, Manchester City, who have signed many players. But we are ready for it."

"Real Madrid? The last time we played with them, we were more prepared, the teamwork was better, and the physical condition was better. And we proved this on the court. Mbappe was a little disappointed at the time. We didn't talk much about it, just joked during the holidays."
