Director of ‘France Football’ and the Ballon d’Or: «Real Madrid knows how to orchestrate campaigns» – Internacional

Pascal Ferré, director of ‘France Football’, has been calling non-stop these days, with calls from managers, players and club officials, all wanting to know who will win the Ballon d’Or. The trophy will be delivered next Monday and the name of the winner is under lock and key, although all predictions point to Benzema. Pascal Ferré recognizes that “Real Madrid knows how to orchestrate campaigns” in favor of its players. “Florentino Pérez orchestrates campaigns well, tacitly, without deviations, he does everything that is authorized”, explains the director of the French magazine, in statements to the Spanish agency EFE. “Campaigns don’t make you win, but they can make you lose when there’s a bad message or a bad gesture,” he explained. “There are machines like Real Madrid’s that are very strong. They only support one player, for years it was Cristiano Ronaldo and now it’s Karim Benzema. This prevents the votes from being dispersed. They know how this works. the club that has won the most times”, said Pascal Ferré, who has led ‘France Football’ since 2005.
