Robert Pires, an Arsenal legend, leaned back, his gaze distant yet intense. Talking to MBC MASR 2, he reflected on the game’s overlooked talents, players who deserved more recognition.
“Mo Salah missing out on the Ballon d’Or shortlist? It just shows that some journalists don’t really understand the game,” he remarked, shaking his head. “He’s the best player in the Premier League right now, no question. And it’s not just him. Greats like Thierry Henry, Xavi, and Iniesta were also overlooked for the award.”
Pires’ words resonated with a sense of frustration and admiration for players who give their all yet remain unacknowledged. It was a reminder of the game’s often unforgiving nature, where talent and impact sometimes go unseen.
