Messi is favourite to add to his Ballon d'Or
Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has revealed the three players he nominated for the FIFA World Player of the Year award for 2009.
Del Bosque opted for Barcelona forward Lionel Messi, Real Madrid & Portugal winger Cristiano Ronaldo and Chelsea's Ivorian striker Didier Drogba in that order. The winner of this year's award is set to be announced on December 21.
"I voted for [Lionel] Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, [Didier] Drogba, in that order. I don't mind saying so," Del Bosque told AS.
All national team coaches and captains vote for candidates on FIFA's 23-man shortlist but cannot vote for players from their own teams.
Messi already collected the 2009 Ballon d'Or earlier this month and is the favourite to claim the FIFA prize. The Argentinian has finished runner up for the previous two years with Ronaldo claiming the award last year.
