The journalist of Brazil that it was the attendant to transmit his votes for the Balloon of Gold 2016, Cleber Machado, of "Globe TV", did not include to Neymar Jr in any of his three positions for the prize, choosing in place of the Brazilian star of the FC Barcelona to Cristiano Ronaldo like first option, Antoine Griezmann like second and Leo Messi like third.

The Brazilian reporter was one of the 193 the correspondents that voted and delivered his nine points, with 5 points for the first position, three points for the second and a point in the third. It surprised that it did not give any point to Neymar Jr, the big idol of Brazil and main hero of the Olympic games attained in Rio de Janeiro does only some months with the Selection Sub-23.

Machado "did not sweep for house" in the Balloon of Gold

Said decision has generated a big controversial in Brazil, where Machado is receiving some criticisms although in the country of Neymar Jr also there is big detractores of his game, like sucede in Argentina with Leo Messi.

And it is that it fits to stand out that usually the journalists of each country are used to "to sweep to house", as it is used to to say and as it has happened with the one of Uruguay, that has voted in first position to Luis Suárez, or the one of Argentina that has opted by Leo Messi like winner. In any case, seems that Cleber Machado has guided before by his own tastes, without need to content to anybody with the election.
