Here's Why the Ballon d'Or should be Cancelled FOREVER

The Ballon d'Or is currently Football's most prestigious award but in 2020 it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. However, I think it should be cancelled FOREVER. Here's why.

For defenders, instead of calling it a ''Golden Stop'', it should be called '' A Backbone'', which is essentially what a world class defender provides for their team - a backbone and an opportunity to build a team around them. Because as, David Ginola once said ''When you build a team, start from the back - as sometimes your attackers' magic just isn't there'' - and a 0 - 0 draw is usually a favourable result. Hope I make sense ...

[@Krato65]

Ballon d'or - Point based criteria (10min read) A very interesting proposition for winning the ballon d'or. Since it's an individual award we should consider individual performance. Since an individual's aim and responsibility is to win trophies for their club or nation, we should consider trophies as well. Alright, so this is how points would be awarded for players from different positions, / Attacker = (goals + assists)/2 Midfielder = (goals + assists) Defender = (goals + assists)*1.5 + (no. of clean sheets)/4 Goal keeper = (no. of clean sheets)/1.5 / (The reason why I chose to divide the no. of clean sheets by 1.5 instead of 2 for gk is that, if we divide the number by 2 then it's very hard for a goalkeeper to compete with players from other positions, at the same time I simply can't consider no. of clean sheets alone because as the defense can also be a factor for keeping clean sheets) (The reason why goals + assists is multiplied by 1.5 instead of 2 for defenders is that they also have another criteria to gain points which is no. of clean sheets, and why no. of clean sheets is divided by 4 is that having a clean sheet is also dependent on his fellow defenders and gk) Note : stats are considered for all official matches both with club and country, qualifiers are not considered. Let's be realistic, since the game revolves around goals it's only logical to consider goals and assists stats. Also it won't be realistic to calculate other stats like, tackles made for defenders, key passes made by midfielders. That's why only no. of clean sheets is considered which is a result of all these defensive actions and also a goal scored by a defender is given more value than an attacker or midfielder. Similarly a goal scored or assisted by a midfielder is given more value than an attacker. Also, when considering titles won, big trophies must be given significance, namely the UCL, league title and major international trophy. The points are given as follows, / UCL, World cup - 10 Other international trophies - 8 (Nations league and finalissima trophies worth 6 points, since they are not full fledged tournaments in Europe) League title - 6 Other domestic titles, tournaments - 2 each. / This way, we can longer say that a player is disabled because of his nationality. For example it's hard for Lewandowski to win a trophy with poland, which is 8 points. But he can compensate that by scoring or assisting 16 times. (16/2=8 points) Note : In case of a tie in points, the player who has won the most individual awards should be considered the winner (for example, the golden boot, player of the season, best player, gk of the tournament, etc..) Now there's a question of whether to consider a season or calendar year performance. In my opinion I would consider based on a season. It's only logical to do so, because all league and tournament in football is played over a season and not calendar year. Let's see the most controversial Ballon d'or wins in recent years. / 2021 : Stats of 2020/21 season is considered. Messi - 67 goals + assist, which is 67/2 = 33.5 points. Trophies : Copa America(8), Copa del Rey(2). Points = 8+2=10. Total points = 43.5. Lewandowski - 76 goals + assist, which is 76/2 = 38 points. Trophies : Bundesliga(6), CWC(2), supercup(2). Points = 10. Total points = 48. Jorginho only gets 29 points, majority of which due to trophies. He loses in individual goal contributions. Yes he's a dmf, but every assist or penalty he converts is twice as valuable as Lewandowski or Messi's. Still he had very low numbers or Lewandowski had very impressive numbers. Lewandowski 48 - Messi 43.5 If you consider CWC as previous season's trophy, still Lewandowski gets 46 points and just beats Messi. Even though Messi had an advantage playing for Argentina and winning Copa America, Lewandowski's impressive individual stats won it for him. 2019 : Alisson - 39.3 ( won copa America, UCL and clean sheets) if he had 8 more clean sheets or won any other titles, he would've won the award. So there's no gk bias. Van Dijk - 37.5 points (If he had won the nations league then he would've had a chance, but Messi's numbers were too good to give him the edge even though he only won the league) Messi - 43.5 points. If you use the same calculations : Messi would've deserved to win it in 2010. (Iniesta actually had poor stats for barca that season and missed games due to injury, he contributed for the WC mainly. Only in 2009 Iniesta had his best performances for barca) Ronaldo would've won it in 2018 (Modric had significantly less goals contributions that season) But very interestingly in 2018, Ronaldo and Messi both comes very close. Ronaldo 44 and Messi 42 points. Clearly deserved 1st and 2nd place, Unlike in real ranking where Messi was placed 5th. Ronaldo would've lost it in 2013 : Ronaldo = 75 goals+assist = 37.5 points. Ribery = 44 goals+assist = 22 points. But Ribery won UCL (10), Bundesliga (6), CWC, German cup and uefa supercup (6 points) So in total Ribery had, 22+10+6+6 = 44 points. / Now, there could be a lot of fine tuning done to these criteria (like every goal in a final or WC has extra point) if time, money and technology is spent into this. After all it won't even be a big effort for France football or any other organization to make this system using advanced metrics as in modern football every stats are recorded with ease. I know changes won't happen any time sooner. But it's just a fantasized look on how would things work if the world was fair! I would love if you made a video on this and let the fans know, there could actually be a logical and statistical way to find the best player each season.

@@chetanmagar1197 Not saying Ronaldo didnt deserve it. But Ribery had good numbers too. He is not even the same type of winger for Bayern as Ronaldo was for Real. That being said, Ribery was instrumental in Bayern's first Treble. I could understand if it was just a UCL title, but he had a treble to back great stats. I would argue Robben was better than Ribery, but either way. There is a good argument against it.

It is a bit of a popularity contest as well and I rate it’s problem is it’s timeline isn’t in line with the start and end of a season. So a player may be playing phenomenally from the start of the season up to Jan but they wouldn’t have won anything yet so their performance isn’t weighted as much. Players may also switch clubs at the end of one season to the next. I personally feel like Hazard performed best at 2018 WC followed by Modric and I was impressed with Mbappe.
