OR awarding of the Golden Ball to Rodri instead of him Vinicius which everyone considered a sure winner until noon on Monday caused a lot of comments and reactions. Real have decided to boycott the event and stay away from it, while there have been numerous posts of support for the Brazilian ace.
THE editor-in-chief of France Footballwhich presents the award and organizes the voting, offered its own explanation for the reversal. “Apparently Vinicius paid for the presence of Bellingham and Carvajal in the top five, because – mathematically – it cost him some points. Voters split their votes between 3-4 Real Madrid players and that went in favor of Rodri“, emphasized Vincent Garcia.
However, he criticized Real’s attitude. “Her absence surprised me unpleasantly. We are clear to everyone. This year we decided not to announce the winner in advance, I thought everyone accepted that, but at the last minute they wanted to change it. I believe that her attitude has to do with the disappointment of the result“, he said.
OR L’Equipewhose organization France Football belongs to, did not take such a… moderate attitude towards the Madrid players. In the editorial of the historical newspaper, there is talk of “… defeat of Real in the vote, but also morally“, while the text, signed by Vincent Dilu adds: “Real, who do not accept that the winner was not announced in advance and was not one of their players, refused to attend the ceremony when it was leaked that Vinicius had not won the Ballon d’Or, forcing both Ancelotti and Mbappe to be absent. . The Madrid club chose not to show a level and trample on the value of sport that requires you to respect the winners».
