This award is just another proof that people in general are sheep. You would think that journalists have to have their own opinion about something, if they write about it. But, the truth is they are sheep like many other football fans.
On one side you have a player who creates magic almost all the time, the best player in the world in almost every aspect of the game, a player who dictates tempo, assists, dribbles like crazy, scores like crazy and in the end of the year has most goals and assists in the world.
On the other side you have a declining player, who is a spectator in almost every big game, who got lucky to be in the teams that won trophies this year and the biggest arguments for him winning the award were that he scored a penalty in CL final and drove Portugal to the Euro title with his energy from the sidelines (this alone is a wtf argument). But, he has a gigantic marketing machinery behind him, because he is mafioso Florentino`s golden boy and they were constantly putting out newspaper articles with titles about him winning the award for sure. And look what happens, sheep vote for him, even though they probably knew he didn`t have the best INDIVIDUAL year of all the players.
That`s classic psychology. If you want to go left, but you see a hundred people in front of you go right, you will go right too. People are sheep.
But, as our golden man once said - A lion doesn`t concern himself with the opinion of sheep.
He will go down in history as one of the greatest and that`s the only thing that matters. Shitnaldo can have his b`dors, that no one will care about in 10-15 years.
