The Ballon d'Or cancels reference to career achievements, and you have to be reasonable don't you?
Originally this is a very reasonable thing, the Ballon d'Or is not a lifetime achievement award, but "French Football" hit their own face with "double standards" - of course, in the past ten years, they seem to have no face.
It's just that they can't continue to "die ducks with hard mouths".
Originally, the Ballon d'Or was not a "Lifetime Achievement Award", but in the last century, the Ballon d'Or was awarded to the best performer of the year.
You can say that the Golden Globe Awards at that time were not able to participate in the selection because of the regional restrictions of "Europe", which led to the inability of Pele or Maradona to participate in the selection, however, at that time, the Golden Globe Awards did not have any "double standards", nor did they engage in any "ZZ correctness" or the like - the selection results may not be authoritative, but the standards are clear, and everyone did not say anything.
At that time, the Golden Ball Awards really only looked at the annual performance of the players, and did not refer to the achievements of the player's entire football career, such as the Weah of that year, before winning the award, what achievements? Figo in 2000 and Nedved both beat Zidane in 2000, Summer in 1996 and Shevchenko in 2004 also beat Ronaldo and Ronaldinho to the Ballon d'Or (the losers were the World Footballer of the Year).
It can be seen that not whoever is famous can win the Golden Globe Award.
By the way, the "FIFA World Footballer of the Year" of the same period paid more attention to the fame of the player and the achievement of this career, in contrast, the Golden Ball Awards of that year could award the award to Eastern European players such as Stojchikov, Nedved or Shevchenko (including the early Yasin, Blokhin or Belanov), and there was no "hukou discrimination".
In the case of the World Footballer of the Year, it is unimaginable (unless modric wins two awards at the same time).
Therefore, the Ballon d'Or awards of that era were relatively pure, but in the end, "French Football" went astray.
Since the merger of the 2010 Ballon d'Or with the World Footballer of the Year, the Ballon d'Or has inexplicably become an award for watching player fame, looking at the team platform, and looking at the media's ability to build momentum.
Even if he later separated from the World Footballer of the Year, he still punched himself in the face again and again.
Now, is there still an emphasis on "removing reference to career achievements"? Isn't that the most basic requirement?
I can only say that the Golden Globe Awards in these more than ten years of strange operations, engaged in their own have to face the fact that they often "double standard".
The Golden Globes are reasonable to cancel references to career achievements, but "French Football" deliberately emphasized it, which is very strange.
What do you think about that?
