After the Golden Shoe as ‘Best Belgian Abroad’, Kevin De Bruyne won an award again. At the ‘Globe Soccer Awards’ in Dubai, ‘KDB’ received the 2023 Team of the Year award alongside their Manchester City teammates. De Bruyne revealed the secret to his new haircut on stage, but it was Cristiano Ronaldo who attracted all the attention. “At 38 I scored more than young people like Haaland.”
I WAIT. De Bruyne, Haaland and Ronaldo won awards in Dubai
Kevin De Bruyne appeared on stage in Dubai alongside Erling Haaland, Kyle Walker and Ederson, among others. As captain, the Red Devil received the award. After the usual talk about last season’s treble, the presenter wanted to talk about De Bruyne’s new haircut. And above all the secret behind it. De Bruyne, dryly: “Just don’t go to the hairdresser”.

Cristiano Ronaldo won three awards at the “Globe Soccer Awards” in Dubai. The Portuguese was voted the best player in the Middle East and fans’ favorite player and received the Maradona award, the trophy for the player who scored the most goals in the calendar year 2023. CR7 scored 54 goals for Al-Nassr and Portugal – no one did better. Not even Haaland, even though he was voted best player. “Deserved,” Ronaldo readily admitted.
CR7 stole the show in Dubai. For the umpteenth time he openly lashed out at criticism. “This is just part of the job. I’ve been working at the highest level for 22 years and it has only made me a better player and a better father. I like people who doubt me. Every time I want to prove them wrong. Things went a little less well in 2022, but I played very well last year.”
And then give Haaland a little chance. “At 38 I scored more goals than youngsters like Haaland. I’m almost 39 and still look great. Haaland couldn’t suppress the audience’s smiles.

And Ronaldo’s great show didn’t stop there. The Portuguese also criticized the Saudi championship, where CR7 scored most of his goals. “To be honest, I don’t think the Saudi championship is worse than the French one. In France there are two or three good teams, but here in my opinion it is more competitive. People can say what they want, but this is my opinion and I know what I’m talking about. I think our championship is already stronger than Ligue 1. And we continue to improve.”
Ronaldo had spoken about it before: he will turn 39 on February 5th. Yet the Portuguese doesn’t seem to be slowing down. During the ceremony he was also asked how long he wanted to continue. “I still don’t know when I’ll stop. Maybe within ten years.”
