The big stars that are against of the Balloon of Gold

The egos in the panorama futbolístico become the norm, and some think that precisely the individual prizes like the Balloon of Gold, in a so collective sport as it is the football of elite, contribute to boost this vision that determinate players are better that others and thus they have to happen to the history, to the detriment of others that play in different positions and, sometimes, not even can compare.

By this reason is not of extrañar that, in the last times, some important personalities of the international football have showed critical with the 'circus' that represents the Balloon of Gold. One of them was the past year Robert Lewandowski with a "tweet" in which it showed something outraged by the fact to having remained classified in sixteenth position in the Balloon of Gold 2016.

"I am against of the Balloon of Gold. I have seen careers broken because the players obsess "

Before that he, others like Gerard Hammered already had showed something garbled with the celebration of the prize: "If the Balloon of Gold gave to the best player of the world, Leo would have to have it won every year from the 2009. Another level", said Gerard Hammered in a recent message, after a big exhibition of Leo Messi during a party of the FC Barcelona.

"I am against. I have seen careers broken because the players get obsessed with this type of individual prizes. That is the problem of the modern football", declared also Arsène Wenger, the trainer of the Arsenal, when they asked him in this regard in a press conference.

Some players think that is all political

Franck Ribéry, that remained third in 2013, thinks that it is all political pure and hard. "It is all political, no longer is for the best player. Cannavaro Won it by the World-wide. I saw how Blatter embraced to Ronaldo, everything was prepared. We have to value if it is worthwhile to go to the ceremony only by the photo".

Diego Armando Maradona, without going more far, never obtained such individual recognition and is considered like one of the best of the history. "I am tired to say it, is political. When it is not just and the ones of márketing wanted to do him win something that did not deserve (to Messi), Read did not want neither hold the prize, sure", confessed does some months.

In definite, seems clear that individual prizes like the Balloon of Gold never will be able to content to all, and still less taking into account that Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have delivered the last 10 editions of the prize. His tyranny goes on.
