Praia, Jul 2 (Inforpress) - Portuguese-Cabo Verdean footballer Nuno Mendes has been named by the international press as one of the candidates for the Golden Ball, the award that honours the best player in the world.

According to Portuguese digital newspaper Zerozero, the Paris Saint-Germain left-back has made a name for himself this season by winning three domestic trophies and the Champions League, a feat that strengthens his bid for football's most prestigious individual trophy. 

"It's not just any player who wins three national trophies in a single season. It's not just anyone who adds the legendary Champions League to those three," writes the publication.

Zerozero devotes an article to the player's career, with the headline: “From the Boavista neighbourhood to the fight for the Golden Ball: 'Impossible to say I'd be one of the best in the world”".
