🚨🌕 Kylian Mbappé: “Who’d I vote for the Ballon d’Or? I’d vote for ME”.
“It is individual award We look at what the player has done INDIVIDUALLY”, told L’Équipe.
“When we look at the arguments... I look, and I say to myself that yeah… it wouldn't be stolen”.
If we want to rejuvenate football we need to curb the over reliance on stat padding and G/A.
EPL as a case study; after GW3 Bruno has 4 G/A and he’s been only decent in only 1 game.
Cherki & Ødegaard have been better in all 3 games but if for instance the league ends today Bruno will have a higher chance to win the best player.
Same goes for Ballon D’Or, we need to always look at the bigger picture and if we do this, defenders and GKs will have chances to win the ultimate awards too.
Ezri Konsa's game by numbers vs. Chelsea:

5x ball recoveries
4 line-breaking passes

Oh and one last-man tackle. 😤
@Big_Bad_Ben Yup! Havertz, Tzolis, Odegaard are immense. That pass into Havertz, similar to the community shield. You’d see that a few more times this season.
