“No one knows the Ballon d’Or voters!”, Florentino Pérez’s new charge against France Football

This Sunday morning the annual General Assembly of Real Madrid Socios took place in the club's sports center. The President of the White House, Florentino Pérez, was able to speak on the financial situation of the club, the work on the Santiago Bernabéu, but also the thorny case of the Ballon d'Or. The award having been awarded this year to Rodri was no better for the merengues who had decided to boycott at the last moment.

The Spanish businessman did not stop himself from tackling France Football and saying everything he thought about the trophy. “The Ballon d'Or should have been awarded to a Real Madrid player, regardless of the criteria applied. The people turned to Vinicius, but they could have gone to our captain, Carvajal. Or even Bellingham. It's very difficult to explain» explained the leader whose comments were collected by The Real Journal . Pérez prefers to take the situation as a joke by asking why a country like India does not vote, even though the names of certain journalists are not known.

Finally, the president of Real Madrid took the liberty of sending a stamp to France Football et The Team. «You would have to ask the organization what the criteria are, but it is clear that they can do whatever they want at no cost. I will ask France Football and L'Équipe if it makes sense to partner with UEFA at this time. The Ballon d'Or should be an independent trophy and voted on by recognized people.»
