Rivaldo 'raja' Of the Balloon of Gold and desvela who had to win

The Balloon of Gold is the individual prize by excellence in the world of the football. It delivers it the magazine 'France Footbal' and rewards the level of each player beside the titles that has won in a natural year. However, the votes do not correspond to some values preestablecidos, by what sometimes is very subjective.

This year and of form quite controversial, won it Luka Modric, that achieved to raise the Champions League and remain subcapeón of the World-wide. From the point of view of titles, the Croat maybe was just victorious, but if we also look the individual performance, Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo follow being very by on.

Rivaldo, that in his day won it like player of the FC Barcelona, criticised the decision to reward to the Croatian and ensured that the prize had to be for the Portuguese. "Luka Modric Did a big year winning the Champions and helping to that Croatia reached the final of the World-wide, but if I had to choose, my vote would have been for Ronaldo", commented, in statements collected by Sport.

Besides, the ex player of the FC Barcelona also thinks that the fifth position of Leo Messi was unfair and ensured that it does not understand the change of tendency: "Messi had to have been like minimum in the top 3. It is more, Ronaldo and Messi have had a solid performance and have been decisive in his clubs. There are not reasons for this change of tendency".

The Espanyol-Barça

This Saturday, the FC Barcelona and the RCD Espanyol confront in the RCDE Stadium of Cornellà-The Prat. The party promises to be exciting no only by the big rivalry between the two teams, but also by the good dynamics of the blanquiazules, that does to think that the duel can be very equalised and intense.

Rivaldo Also analysed the meeting. "The Espanyol arrives in bad series but this situation will be a special motivation to go out of his mini-crisis winning to his eternal rival", commented, although it also encouraged to his ex team to not to trust: "The FC Barcelona has to be alert not to lose the leadership achieved the past week".
