France Football points to Madrid: "They know how to orchestrate campaigns for the Ballon d'Or"

Pascal Ferré, director of the sportive magazine 'France Football', has appeared in an interview with the agency of news 'EFE' in where it spoke of the delivery of the Balloon of Gold. Besides, also it commented on the distinct criteria that use to choose to the winner and also on the 'influence' of some teams to promote to his players between the possible candidates.

It began his intervention signalling to the Real Madrid, the one who this year has all the integers so that Karim Benzema do with the recognition. "Florentino Pérez orchestra well the campaigns, of tacit form, without derive, all what does is authorised. These do not do you win, but can do that you lose when there is a bad message or a bad gesture", aimed the editor.

Also it added which is the tactics that use the merengues to ensure that his candidate was between the possible winners. "There are machineries like the one of the Real Madrid that they are very strong. His intelligence is that they support to an alone player. During years was Cristiano Ronaldo and now is Benzema. This avoids that they disperse the votes. They know as it works this", ensured Ferré.

Added to this, did emphasis in that the reputation out of the field also forms part of the criteria to deliver the points. "I think that this already has been taken into account by the juries, but do not think that was an essential element. The Balloon of Gold is not the Nobel of the Peace. They have voted on eleven months of competition", affirmed the journalist, taking into account the conviction by complicity of blackmail that has Benzema in his against.

The rivalry Messi-Christian

Near to finalise, mentioned that the record of Lionel Messi will be very difficult to equalise and that the rivalry with Cristiano is far to be opacada. "Both have starred one of the most intense rivalries of the history of the sport. It speaks a lot of Mbappé and Haaland, but any of the two has won the League of Champions. To the age of Mbappé, Messi had already two Balloons of Gold. If they want to establish an alike rivalry have to begin to win big trophies already. Messi and Ronaldo did not take so much", said.

Finally, desveló a 'spine' that has with those players that could win the Balloon of Gold but that did not suffice them by different reasons. "It is evident that are missing some names. In my opinion there is three, the Polish Robert Lewandowski and the Spanish Xavi Hernández and Andrés Iniesta. For me it is a big scar, because Xavi and Iniesta are two players that situate very up and that embody the football as it conceives it the Balloon of Gold. But in 2010 had in front to Messi and think that paid that in that Spanish selection the votes delivered between a lot of names, what subtracted them supports" concluded.
