Who gave the award to the bum Rodri?
Pretty stupid criteria for an award meant to be given to the player who performed best over the last year.
That criteria was only made bc they wanted to find a way for Journalists to justify their bias towards or against players and teams.
Mind you, 2 of rodri’s teammates were nominated as PL player of the season over him. And it’s also a consensus that he barely cracks as a top 3 player on his own club.
if you believe that you're stupid, if you think rodri isnt a top 3 player at city you just have no right to talk football
if your criteria for those trophies is whos the best attacker, then a midfielder (defensive) would never win,
balon dor voters are definitely smarter than you, anyone with a brain can tell you that you throw rodri into any team in the world and is revolutionizing their hold up and defensive play, and is still amazing offensively for a DM
You take ONE player away from vini and he goes from best in the world to guy who only performs once a blue moon (no kroos, no fun)
First of all, everyone know that right now, vini is the best itw, it’s just that mbappe has underperforming a lot so real madrid don’t have much success. But even so, the award is given to the best player last season, so why are you even factoring in performances from this seasons. (Vini is still the best player this season btw although it’s much closer now).
Classic Barca fans that keep bending over for players that aren’t even yours.
Also, they are multiple Journalist that didn’t even have vini in the top 5. If you don’t think they did that out of pure bias, and hate against vini, and in hopes he doesn’t win, then you are stupid
vini isnt as good as you think he is
take him out of madrid hes an average player, as evidenced by brazil
the team makes the player in this case
rodri is a self-sufficient player he can win a bdor on any team itw, vini is just madrid, not brazil, not even for madrid this year
he's not CLOSE to the best player itw rn, balon d'or is just about last year tho, where he was def top 5-6
because he was the best player in the world, if vini could dribble and playmake like messi he could get away with this shit
BTW Rodri has 1 less non-penalty goal than vini in this balon d'or race, while being a defender
plus rodris goals are all screamers from range that he just puts in, vini scores tapins from kroos
actual morons..
your problem is that you don’t understand that attackers need a good system to play well, while midfielders don’t, because them along with the managers make up the system in order for the attackers to thrive. The system involves a type of play style which is very effective like Spain’s and City’s. However, the system alone is not the reason for success, a system without good attackers is useless. Rodri just happened to have some of the best itw, and bc of that ppl all of a sudden thinks he all that special.
Kante
Iniesta
Kroos
Modric
Xavi
KDB
Those guys are true elite midfielders, not just a product of a good manager like Rodri is. Put someone like Rodri on real madrid, and he doesn’t even start, because for one, real madrid as evolved to be more dependent on faster and athletic dms. Put vini on city and he starts of foden any day
did you not watch real madrid get split apart in midfield lol
the truth is, youre a fan and nobody but madrid or united fans think this was a robbery
you're emotional, i get it, your favorite player lost, but rodri impacts his team more, and he does it for 90 minutes, not just 1 minute
there are elite attackers that arent system players
Salah for example, doesn't rely on toni kroos to spoonfeed him goals in the 90th minute to win games
Mf calls him "Kros" lmao... And that´s cool for you but Kroos had way more impact and played internationally 1000x better. And if you take Vinis bad behaviour into account (which they do at the Ballon d´Or) you can make quite a good case for Toni, just because striker and winger are more in the focus doesn´t mean they are that much better, Kroos and Rodri are game-makers and the only reason people like Vini can score
