The 1st black goalkeeper to win the Champions League will be excluded from the list, Ballon d'Or: We didn't discriminate
With the list of Ballon d'Or candidates announced, in addition to Messi, Jorginho, C Luo's list of the big three and many other stars have been on the list, these players have more or less helped their club or the country and other collective honors to make special contributions, especially Messi's Copa America, and C Ronaldo's deeds to lead the team to the championship.
However, there are some stars who should have received his honor but have been excluded, Liverpool striker Sardio Mane slammed French football for not including Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy in the 30-man Ballon d'Or candidate list, Mane as an offensive player at Southampton has been outstanding, we can from his performance and scoring ability, after joining Liverpool, his own skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and we have to admit that Mane has filled the gap left by Raheem Sterling very well. Not only can he assist his teammates in the offensive area, but he also plays his own excellent ability to shoot.
Why he will fight for Chelsea goalkeeper Mendy, this has to start from their national team, Mane and Edardardo are also players of the Senegalese national team, the two have had a brief cooperation in the season, in the 44 games in which the Blues played, Mendy only conceded 29 goals, and maintained 25 games of zero goals, and helped the Blues win the European Champions League, Mendy is also known as the UEFA Goalkeeper of the Year, but his performance is not only that, in the 2021-2022 season, In the third round of the Premier League, her daughter-in-law drew 1-1 away to Liverpool, and Mendy also contributed six successful saves, which was the most remedial game she had personally sent since joining Chelsea.
The two as players of a national team are actually sympathetic, Mane is disappointed by Mendy's defeat, he blamed the Ballon d'Or should not only focus on the field forward, the goalkeeper is equally important, without them, the football field will lose his original rules, of course, in addition to Mane, Napoli centre-back Carris Koulibali is also surprised that the Chelsea goalkeeper will be excluded from the list, he said: The Ballon d'Or should not do this, it is really a big injury, he is the first African goalkeeper to win the Champions League, This is of great significance to the world, especially to the third world, and he would have inspired us.
It is not difficult to find that players with the two attributes of black and goalkeeper rarely have the opportunity to enter the shortlist, let alone the combination of the two situations, the Ranking of the Ballon d'Or is judged by a group of white French people, whether there is discrimination and disrespect for the goalkeeper, we do not know, but the Official Ballon d'Or has not responded to this matter at this time.
Looking at the three giants such as Messi, personal data is actually not outstanding, did not break the world record of past goalkeepers, and Messi, C Ronaldo's personal data has long exceeded all the figures in history, even contemporary young players are trying to catch up with their footsteps, secondly, the honor brought to the collective is not enough to let him enter the world's great players on a par, continue to keep cheering, in order to let more people pay attention to the importance of goalkeepers in front of the world, proving that it is also an indispensable position on the field.
For this, the Chelsea star doesn't seem to be worried about his exclusion, saying there will always be a debate about the Ballon d'Or vote, which he said after completing Senegal's victory over Namibia on Tuesday: The teacher said that I am very proud to be one of the 10 best goalkeepers in the world for my country, just one year at Chelsea, which is a very good thing, but the Ballon d'Or is not my only goal, I have a lot of other ambitions, but at the moment I have done well enough.
