Rodrygo β€˜upset’ by Ballon d’Or snub, Craig Burley has no sympathy πŸ‘€ | ESPN FC

at Real Madrid there's some talk there because you obviously know that some of the Real Madrid players have been shortlisted for the Balon door obviously it was a great season for Real Madrid last year Rodrigo though not in that list and he feels a little bit upset that he feels he's been sned he said I was upset I think I deserved it I don't want to belittle the players who are there but I think I had a place in the 30 it was a surprise often I'm just filling spaces is someone missing there put Rodrigo in is someone missing on the right Rodrigo is someone missing as number nine Rodrigo that's it it may get in my way a little but I'm a team player now this is him speaking to ESPN do you feel he has a point Craig that maybe he does suffer from being so versatile well what's his problem you never got on the ball Andor list or is his problem been versatile or is his problem not getting on the Bal should he be in the ball Andor list I mean what does he want me to say Jesus wept I mean he's not on the list is he he's not on it right he's not on it get over it right what's you play for your Club go and do it right don't come out you play and deliver for your club and they win big and the rest of your teammates are making it there you don't feel wor been on the ball door your priorities are AO and then you comeing out making a statement about it spare me spare me this Stevie how do you feel like he has a point well regardless of whether he has a point or not he's not the person that should be saying I should be in for the Balon door that's I mean that's the bottom line whether he does or doesn't listen we we all need toit some confidence in ourselves but to have the goal to turn around and say I should be in for the Bal and door I should be at least be on the list that's not your place when somebody says that to you you politely say it's not up to me I just go and play with football that's what he should have said would imagine Rodrigo has some slightly bigger fish to fry in the upcoming few months because you have this Real Madrid side that by the way he could turn out to be the Fall Guy when they're looking to get this balance right between Venus Bellingham in fit and killing mbappe because they're all going to start right they're all going to start so his bigger concern I think because he's been quite used a lot Off the Bench previously when Benzema was there last year played a lot uh and he has been a great impact player and very versatile and I'll give him that but his main concern should be how am I going to fit in when all these Superstars are fit that's that's surely more of a concern than I'm not on that that that list that most people think you know you look who votes for this you look at some of the Muppets that that vote in this balandor and you just you just think give your head a wobble a Louise he's feeling left out should he be I mean on these days that everything is about exposure and personal award and everything yeah I guess he felt that but I don't think is even him I think he's the the surround yeah he a I think that is not the the right comment to to say and but I think it's it's more about a chat that you do with a friend and you're talking and you kind of Free Yourself mentioning that that kind of comment but um again I think it's a very important play for Real Madrid he should focus on that and keep on working keep on doing what he's doing the best capitalizing the chances that he's got and being an important player because if you're not going to win the Balor and probably is not in the top three top five so why bother to be on the top 30 I think it's it's no point Louise thanks so much for being with us we'll be hearing from you again very soon when La Liga returns to our calendars and I coming up on Friday it will be back after the international break kicking off with real Bettis against legan and then we'll see if barcelon can beat Jona they did the double over them Jona did last year but Barcelona looking like a very different side this time around R Saia dad will host Real Madrid and athleti will take on Valencia all of these games available as always on espm Plus [Music]
