Spanish journalists Alvaro Nola and Roque Seiz Penna found out what has happened with the Balon DOr votes on 15th November!Votes from 200 national team coaches , captains and journalists shouldve been given and counted on 15/16 November but when FIFA officials , in the middle of the proccess saw the counting , votes were been given for Lionel Messi with 41% , Ribery had 27% and C. Ronaldo only 23% , so , Sepp Blatter , FIFA president , thought about it and took a decisionto nul the votes and delay the process for a latter date (when Messi is not on the pitch for a long time , and voters would forget about him a bit). He thought that the award would lose the prestige and the credibility with one player winning the last 5 times ! Quotes from Blatter on Ronaldo earlier this month (that he is a commander and he prefers Messi) are thought to be deliberately given only because Ronaldo should get the focus so he can raise his chances on winning the award !Blatter is in danger to lose his post if Messi gets another Balon DOr.
