Samuel Umtiti critiques Ballon d'Or choices

SAMUEL UMTITI WENT ALL OUT AGAINST THE NOMINATION OF JULIAN QUIÑONES FOR THE BALLON D'OR. The World Cup champion harshly questioned the presence of the Mexican forward among the nominees: "Do they include Julian Quiñones? But what did he do at the World Cup? Four goals for Mexico and eliminated in the round of 16? When I saw that, I wondered if it was a joke. It is very harmful to football, because it is a team sport. People think much more about winning the Ballon d'Or than about collective awards. You can win a Champions League with your team and only think about yourself. We are talking about statistics again, but that is not enough. Football is not just about statistics. Since the Messi-Ronaldo era, I don't even look at that trophy anymore. They had incredible statistics and, if they didn't win an important title, it seemed like it didn't matter because their season was still incredible. Now there isn't necessarily a great player above the others." DO YOU AGREE WITH UMTITI?
