Though some people may not agree, but i really do not see anything wrong in what Arsene Wenger said concerning the Ballon Dor award. I have been thinking about this and the man just spoke my mind. Wenger is one man that says things that is in his mind without following the crowd. The hits the nail on the head and says things the way he sees them. He always gives reporters something to write. He is just like Jose Mourinho in that aspect. Whether anyone likes it or not, WENGER IS SPOT ON ON THIS. Football is an individual game, a game that comprises of different people playing in the same team. They play different positions with one being called a captain. Season in, season out, everyone puts in his best to make sure their team is successful. At the end of the season, FIFA now rewards just one person as the best. Over the years, we have seen that most of the people that win this award are mostly Forwards. Defenders, Goal-keepers and Mid-fielders just happen to win it by whiskers. We all see how this same award has caused alot of rivalry between team-mates and non team-mates alike. People play football on the pitch with the award on their minds, they do anything to score goals simply to have enough goals to win the award. Players are put under alot of pressure to win this award. Those that end up not winning it all through their career are often taunted. People like Xavi and Iniesta that have done so well in football would never see that award. Today FIFA would say it is the amount of goals scored, tomorrow they would say it is the team work of a player, they bring different criteria thereby confusing everyone. I would advise FIFA to to modernize and put more into the FIFA FIFPRO11 instead of this Balon Dor stuff. That way, they would have succeeded in telling the world that football is all about 11 players and a team work. Select three forwards, three mid-fielders, four defenders and one goal-keeper from various leagues around the world. Celebrate them, encourage a new set of 11 players the next year and continue like that. That way, players would be happy, there would be no malice and conspiracy among players, they would be encouraged to do more, and all these rivalry would reduce drastically. MY OPINION.
