Ballon td 4

The ballon dor triumphs of Johan Cruyff in 1974,Ruud gullit in 1987 and Marco Van basten in 19893 undisputed ballon dor wins for one small country with a relatively small population of 17 million is ALOTFrance with a population of approx 67 million has maybe 1 or 2 undisputed ballon dors1984 for Michel platini and maybe also 1983Zidanes 1998 ballon dor is widely contested while someone can argue for Diego maradonas case for 1984/1985 based on his Dbs Calcio ratings and demolition job on some of the worst teams in serie A history (ie Lazio)Everything else can rightfully be disputedand that includes the 1988 ballon dor of van basten (his injuries and consequently limited game time)The 1992 ballon dor of Marco Van basten(inflated by a gargantuan amount of penalties and a 4 goal haul against a sub par Göteborg in the inaugural champions League groupstages)Hristo Stoichkov was evidently superior IMO and the opinion of many othersThe 1972 would be ballon dor of Johan CruyffAlthough fantastic and would be my personal choice one can't dismiss the fact gerd Muller scored 151 goals in 100 matches including friendlies soon if not already you'll be accused of undervaluing Dutch players tooClarence seedorf and his conversion to the "bloodthirsty ideology of islamism" imagine you singing his praises any longer seeing as he has joined the 'dark side' Feb 28, 2017 Club: Montevideo Wanderers FC I am intrigued to know what his historical top ten is and in what position he places Johan Cruyff. Jan 11, 2016 Club: Real Madrid The seasonal placement of Ronaldo nazario is very oddHe played significantly more minutes in 1994/95 and scored/provided significantly more goals/assists then in 1995/96When has there ever been a player who participates in 13 League matches and is the MVP of Europe?Would Lionel Messi win the ballon dor with 12 goals in 13 la liga matches and 6 goals in 5 UEFA cup matches(including 4 goals in one match Vs MYPA whoever the heck that is) a complete insult to the other contenders and the equivalence is false anywaysR9 1995/96 scored 12 goals in 13 eredivisie

Montpellier HSC France Jan 27, 2021 The coincidence is still incredible but FranceFootball and L'Equipe have just made a historic announcement for the Ballon d'Or.Here is the complete translation of these 4 historical changes concerning the Ballon d'Or vote (I have put in bold the main changes) :"Ballon d'Or: four changes for history"​"To gain coherence, readability and clarity, several changes will be made to the Ballon d'Or. Starting with the calendar, which will now be based on the soccer seasons.The Ballon d'Or was born in the carefree spirit of a gamble without a future, intended above all to enliven the pages of a newspaper at the end of the year, but it is still there, sixty-six years later. With the same simplistic triptych: rules, a jury of journalists and a trophy. Of course, it could - and had to - evolve to enlarge its initial European spectrum. First, in 1995, it was extended to players from all over the world playing in a European Championship. Then, in 2007, it was opened up completely, without distinction of nationality or territory.And in 2018 with the creation of the Women's Ballon d'Or. Major changes that have allowed the BO to anchor itself a little more and a little better in the realities of contemporary soccer. The BO is

A slightly under-strength or under-performing on the day Manchester United...but nevertheless the double winning club from the time when lower placed Arsenal did well in European competitions, indicating the view that English clubs had fallen way behind should be a bit nuanced I think). Mar 8, 2009 Club: Nottingham Forest FC Yeah, they won vs Barcelona too of course in 94/95 (it could be fairly said Barcelona were declined from the previous seasons I think, but again still a very notable result), and in the 92/93 season in question they did basically finish joint 3rd/4th, and outside of those Van Basten goals in that match Ravelli's net wasn't entered many times at all in that final group stage to decide a finalist. Jan 11, 2016 Club: Real Madrid Schalke finished 3rd place in the 2013/14 bundesligaUnless you are suggesting the bundesliga is so crap that the champions of Sweden would make their top 4 this is just an outlandish statementNotwithstanding the fact the 4 goal haul against Göteborg in the champions League groupstages was a significant factor when it came to his ballon dor credentialsIt would be like zlatan ibrahimovic winning the 2013 ballon dor for thisAnderlecht is a much closer comparison to Goteborg then it is to any periodic top 4 team in a major European leaguejust addressing this brieflyMore important then this is the incessant crying of puckvanheel for a decade about Dutch players Jan 11, 2016 Club: Real Madrid Jean Pierre papin"Van Basten won the Ballon d’Or on the back of scoring two hat tricks in one week with AC Milan. One against Gothenburg in the Champions League and then one in Naples in the league.” bastens own teammate in 1992/93 if I recall correctly and a ballon dor winner himselfA person more qualified to give context to this then anyone hereNapoli were close to a relegation battle in 1992/93 and Göteborg the champions of Sweden a modern day perspective no one could win a ballon dor for destroying these level teamsTheir chances would be completely ridiculed in the media Mar 8, 2009 Club: Nottingham Forest FC
