The one who went player and trainer of the FC Barcelona, Johan Cruyff, has described as "absurd" the Balloon of Gold 2014 delivered to Cristiano Ronaldo, considering that the award did not reward to the best player in individual performance neither to the that won more titles
In statements conceded to "Of Telegraaf", Johan Cruyff has criticised deeply that any player of the Bayern Munich neither of the selection of Germany have won the Balloon of Gold during the two last editions of the prize, that went to stop to hands of Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Dutch regrets that the Portuguese carried it to him in 2013 without winning any title and in 2014 carrying out an abysmal World-wide of Brazil 2014. "In the highest level, have to combine the individual quality and the attainments. From this point of view, is absurd that by second consecutive year the player that received the prize have not played of excellent way and livestock the majority of trophies".
The criticisms of Cruyff, however, have not finished here. "In 2013, the Bayern won each one of the trophies that played, still like this Cristiano Ronaldo won the prize in spite of a player like Toni Kroos or any another of the Bayern. In 2014, Kroos was a key player again for the team that won the World-wide, still like this was not between the three finalists. Ronaldo was entirely anonymous in the Glass of the World... We are clear, can not take seriously this trophy of the FIFA never more".
