Commentator: Pedri lacks assists and goals, while the Ballon d Or almost all strikers
Recently, commentators from Sell Radio criticized the Golden Globes selection criteria, and they believed that Pedri's performance should not be so low in the selection ranking.
In Thursday's game, Barcelona defeated Real Oviedo 3-1 away, in which Pedri was once again in the focus, taking on the team's responsibilities for several weeks and leading the team to victory.
Pedri's outstanding performance once again sparked criticism of the Ballon d'Or, because despite being one of Barcelona's best players last season, he ranked only 11th in the overall ranking of the Ballon d'Or, with players such as Ashraf, Palmer and Nuno Mendes ahead of him.
The first to speak was Chasene, who expressed his dissatisfaction with the results of the Ballon d'Or: "Pedri's evaluation is a disrespect and an insult to football." Then Rodriguez proposed an interesting theory to explain why Pedri ranked so low on the final list: "When the nomination list was announced, they used his official name - Pedro Gonzalez. Obviously, people in the rest of the world didn't know that Pedro Gonzalez was Pedri, so they didn't vote for him. This is the only explanation I can find, otherwise it wouldn't be understood at all."
Chasene echoed, admitting that this is the only way to explain this situation, because Pedri is indeed a very special player: "We need to emphasize his value every day because he surpasses the competition between clubs. Just like Real Madrid had Zidane back then, no matter how much you support Barcelona , seeing Zidane plays on the court is a treat. The same is true for Pedri. No matter what color your team wears, it is an absolute pleasure to watch him play. "
Meanwhile, Luis Carreras pointed out that players like Pedri face huge obstacles when fighting for such awards: "Pedri has a problem. From the data, this type of player lacks assists and goals. Ultimately, people are concerned about the number of goals, which is why C Ronaldo was able to win the Ballon d'Or many times, and Messi failed to get the same recognition despite being able to create goals. "
" But Pedri is not the only example: why players like Xavi, Iniesta or Busquets have never won the Ballon d'Or? There is only one midfielder in every five Ballon d'Or winners. Last year we saw Rodri, and there was Modric earlier. But beyond that, the winners are all strikers."
