Основно проблемът е в гласуването, ясно е че критериите се напасват така, че да отговарят на конкретния победител. Ето някои примери кой как е гласувал от журналистите:
Here's the journos voting reasons they gave:
Aivaras Katutis from Lithuania:
"Till Messi will be playing football, there will be no one better than him"
Theres Stromberg, SportExpressen, Sweden
"Messi scored 30 goals in the league without any help from the team, he carried Barca"
Ahmed Adala, Tunisia:
"Why I put Benzema above Lewandowski? The Pole deserved it last year, because he won everything, did everything and beat couple of records. But his year Benzema made the difference and won the Nations League with his NT, went to 1/8 of the EUROS and played many fantastic games for Real Madrid"
???
Filip Buduru, Romanian Footbal
"Seventh Ballon d'Or for Messi seems inevitable. Unfortunately he didn't win anything with Barca, but individually he deserves the award"
Gustavo Peralta Coello, Peru, ESPN Peru
"I think it has to be the year of Benzema, who was for a long time in the shadow of Messi and Ronaldo. Last months showed they they aren't so prolific and that let us to appreciate finishing, technical and tactical skills of Benzema.
And that dude voted 1.Benzema 2. Ronaldo 3. Messi 4. Mbappe 5. Haaland
После що е мазало, еми....
Същото щеше да бъде и с Жоржиньо сега.
