Madrid's response screams of backroom dealings. Given the nature of the Balon d'Or, clubs/agents aggressively lobby for votes. Why wouldn't they? i It would not be surprising if it turned out they payed for votes, given the financial incentive for winning. It seems to me Madrid had payed for a massive campaign, thought they had guaranteed themselves the awards, and got a shock. Why else would they have scheduled a 5 hour show and prepare a 50 person delegation or whatever it was. You don't do that unless you are sure, and Vinicius' season was just not good enough to justify that. No international success? Less than 30 goals in all competitions? A good season, but not nearly good enough to be a shoe in.

A narrative can be created for nearly any player if you frame their season in the right way. Highlight a few stats, focus on key moments, and suddenly it seems like they had an award-worthy year. With this approach, you could make a case for any player’s season, and it could just as easily be debated as not worthy enough to win. Take Kane’s season for a moment, more goal contributions than matches played, Golden Boot in every tournament that he has played, scored in every knockout round in the Champions League that he has played, but because he didn't have a high-profile moment in a final or a big match, people often overlook the consistency he showed throughout the season. This bias toward memorable moments skews perceptions. We see it all the time-players with a standout moment end up getting more recognition, even if others performed better over the whole season. It’s as if sustained excellence isn’t as valued as those dramatic, one-time moments. In the end, it's often less about the season's merit and player's merit and is more about the narrative that sticks with fans and the media. The more popular you are, more the journalists hear about you and more votes you get.

No he didnt. He was deserving of a spot in the TOTY, but he was not the best player in the world.

@@anotherguy3082He was only “hipster choice” cause there was no true outstanding candidate. Reality is if we’re doing it in solely the 1st half the season Bellingham should’ve won the ballondor. And solely the 2nd half of the season Vinicius should’ve won the ballondor. But ballondor is August-June. For those two major candidates not one of them had a e.g Benzema 2022 where from August to May he was always in ballondor conversations/favourite and pretty undeniably the best player in all comps.

Here is a list (my opinion) of what the Balon Dor would look like if it was fair/fairer (too many things to explain dont make me argue about things that are a given just because i didnt want to write 50 pages of context) 1 - Rodri - individually i do still think he was better and more important to his team its just hard to show because City could win the Prem with their B team at this point 2 - Viny - the best attacker in terms of output for his team who won everything (importance on HIS team) outside of the Spanish Cup but overall not even near top output compared to others even with adjusted minutes 3 - Jude Bellingham - Fantastic start and debut season for club and country but towards the later parts he was really lacking on off the ball play which might have cost him a Euros still clutch from time to time 4 - Harry Kane - Despite not winning anything cause of a broken Bayern side and losing in the final Kane for me was the best performer of the year , most complete in-form striker right now just sucks that he is anti clutch but if we are being honest his teammates also massively failed him from time to time 5 - Lautaro Martinez - Top scorer in the second best League in the world (per Uefa and Opta ) and top scorer in the Copa America , won a domestic double and his confederations trophy by being the main man , an early UCL exit is all he has for wrongs 6 - Alejandro Grimaldo - Euro winner and invincible domestic double and Europa league finalist , lost 1 game all year , was the best performing full back in the world along side his counterpart Frimpong , also insane output as a fullback actually 3 G/A off Vinicius himself AS A FULLBACK 7 - Toni Kroos - Great last season from an individuall and team prespective , Toni pretty much as class as always Germany's defeat is the only reason he isnt higher Anything under these 7 players can be whatever imo these are the only players who were clear cut better than everyone else , shout outs however go to , Salah , Rudiger , F. Valverde , Foden , Palmer , Halaand , Xhaka , Carvajal , Emi Martinez , Calhanoglou , Frimpong , Wirtz , Saliba , Rice in no particular order

Calling Grimaldo a euro winner when he only played one game is a little generous but I agree with the rest of your points

@@gamakujira64e23 True , he played 2 games but again the guy who played in his position was Cucurellia who was nowhere near as good but was chosen by the coach for his own reasons , i cant take it away from Grimaldo nor do i think that things would have gone diffrently if Grimaldo played instead

I would have Grimaldo a little lower because he didn't have that big of an impact on the euros but his Leverkusen performances really push in into the top 10
@chcucivtxzclccucifudohzfu6766Сағат бұрын
I‘d put Wirtz over Grimaldo. He was more important to Leverkusen and the Euros can’t really be held against Wirtz as Grimaldo barely played there. I think Wirtz should have made the top 10 (probably 8-10) with Grimaldo a bit behind

Called it, before I watch. Its obvious that the Balond Dor is decided based on what makes for the most narrative, its clearly been made as a kind of marketing tool, maybe it always was but I think the recent controversy surrounding the winners these days is because it isn't quite as unanimous as it was when it was just CR7 and Messi. I wonder how the award will adapt with the growing disillusionment among fans, players and clubs alike.

I think Barca and Real along with their fans really made the award toxic. Both teams have accumulated great PR in Europe with their stars in Messi and Ronaldo so it seems both, especially Real and Ronaldo fans couldn't stand the thought they didn't win it. Also good point on Alonso with Leverkusen. Wonder why Real and Ronaldo fans didn't say that was robbery. 🤔🤔

This year ballon dor based club and international performance. Vinicius Jr performance way more better than rodri but in international tournaments, he lost his aura, not performing like people expect he do in real madrid. Also no 3 could part Vinicius lost, yes rodri could somehow lost tamper but vini like provoke his opponent and fan. If he change a little bit that, he will win.

How the Ballon d'Or voting should be and who votes: Players Managers Ex- Player (diverse selection) They can not vote for team mates for team or country/ country men. can use same point systhem as they use now, or find a better solution. stop with the journalists that semingly have biases.
@SkolladrumСағат бұрын
Players won't be biased? Managers won't be biased? Just like his example Löw and Bosque never voted for Messi. Even ex player have their bias. What they should have done is make it about stat for every position and never about who is the best from all player.
@zakabi6605Сағат бұрын
@Skolladrum they will, but they can't vote on team mates or players from their country, which has been the thing they have done the most. You can remove all biases when it comes to humans. But you can limit the biggest outliers. And the more voters, the better. And more diverse it will be. More chance of a defender winning, for instance.

I'm not saying it is perfect, but seemingly better than how it is with 100 journalists. You can se it in the women's coach award. Absolutely every one said the barca coach should win, but it was a man in the women sport, so he lost to the woman whom only won 1 trophy, compared to 4 throphys.

@@zakabi6605 even then for player I'm sure they would exclude whoever they think could win against them/ their teammates and choose who they think won't win. Like during the era of Ronaldo vs Messi, they obviously would rather kick their rivals out and put the next best thing even if it's not their teammates (like Ronaldo could maybe choose from United player or Messi choose from someone who departed Barca already)

I don't even think the problem was Rodri winning, but the whole campaign against Vinicius that culminated in the ballon d'or fiasco, you have jornalists not voting for Vini because of "lack of fairplay", when guys like Emi Martinez get praise for being provocative, while the whole reason for this Vinicius backlash is because he gets offended on the pitch and doesn't lower his head, you have jornalists and rival fans calling him a monkey, and he fights back where he can, on the pitch. If Vinicius losing was purely by perfomance, then fine, we can agree to disagree, but being penalized for arbitrary (and sometimes quite racist) reasons, is just quite revolting when you think about it. Also choosing George Weah to give the ballon d'or, a player who has ABSOLUTELY no connection to Rodri, just kind of show how the war between UEFA and Madrid goes both ways. They knew everyone thought Vinicius would win, picked the only african winner of the award with the sole intent to humiliate Vinícius on stage.
@trevorstatham4451Сағат бұрын
Weah is literally the only player that played for City and won a Ballon D'Or. Vini's season was by no means the performance of a lifetime. Bowen and Mateta have more goals than him. It's purely a matter of subjective opinion based on facts. Not everything is a conspiracy against Madrid

Vini Jr. was clearly the best player in the world. He just had a masterclass season in the UCL, La Liga, and Copa del Rey, being the best player in two of these competitions and deciding the most challenging games. Because of his determination to fight against racism, UEFA tried to embarrass and silence him all season long. It's embarrassing to see that almost every opinion about him not deserving the Ballon d'Or was based on his attitude rather than his performance. It's also embarrassing to say that Rodri was the best player of the year when he wasn’t the best player on the Spanish team, in the Euro, in the Premier League, on Man City, or in the UCL. All of those internacional prizes just had to end.

Please stop. Vini wasn't even the LA Liga player of the year or the best player on Madrid. Didn't do bits for Brazil. Stop making it seem like he had a Messi/Cristiano season like Haaland last year and still lost
