Vinicius Jr? ❌ Rodri? ❌ Julien Laurens’ Ballon d’Or vote revealed! | ESPN FC

all right enough pul CH out some quick hits instead let's go guys okay let's get this out of the way Jules regular viewers know my thoughts on this so I'll let you handle it you do the balandor nominations are out and for the first time in 21 years there is no Cristiano Ronaldo or lonel Messi on the 30 man short list short lace which by the way uh exists because in the past we've had morons voting for it who will go and and which will will think it's funny oh Phil Jones for balandor and they actually get votes so yeah so you've got why 30 man' got this is how highly they think of their voters listen and we know you don't like it we know you don't like individual Awards the players love it and the players a lot of them love it and care care about it and want to win it and want to be there on that stage and that's why I like it uh it's not so it's not us who decide who the 30 players are by the way before you send a abuse it is some journalist from France football and from Le newspaper so respected respected journalist really who watch a lot football no it's true uh they have to Nanny the voters because the voters are stupid and the Panama voter from uh from last who's a journalist from Panama who got the top five of last year's balondo in order the only one to do so so as a reward he got to be part of the the committee that named those 30 players I don't think anybody really could argue with that with the fact that Messi and chisan are not there right we agree on that even if Messi won the Copa America Messi wins the Copa scores 50 odd goals he was very average in the cup America Messi right and Cristiano played in the Euros as well and was very average too scored two goals on penalties yeah okay so I don't think you know I don't have any issue with them not but it's the end of it was always going to happen that day anyway all right but you're going to vote you if you had a vote you would vote for rodri right I would vote for kilan mbapp come on kilan bamos gab's also a coach of the year award of course and the short list here is just six yeah because all those very clever people from Le FR they couldn't come up with 30 names let's keep it simple let's keep it to six so here let me explain chabby Alonzo who goes undefeated for the almost the entire season and leads by Le win the Bundesliga Luis DEA who wins the Euros with Spain Pep Guardiola who wins the Premier League Leon scalone who wins the cop America kelot wins the champions league and gasparini who wins europ honestly these people could just tune into finals of everything and pick it that way uh out of those six I'll tell you now who I would choose it's chabby Alonzo okay that's great done move on yeah camiro is Manchester United's official scapegoat right now after the humiliating defeat to Liverpool he inherits the mantle from Anthony from Harry MaGuire from all the skateb had in the past yeah anyway there's plenty of reports linking him with Galatasaray plenty of reports also suggesting he doesn't really want to go should United force him through do they have enough cover I think they need him I know he was not good against Liverpool in that first half he gave the ball away a lot and especially then two twice two times that went into Liverpool scoring so I understand that they need him they can't have Mason Mount and Kobe Mayu and ugate and Erikson and Ericson so you have a guy who has you have a guy with heart problems right who's out of contract and who's 100 years old and doesn't really run you have kabby Mayo who's 19 you have 's just arrived and you have Mason M who's always injured these are these this would be your for they can't and you won't let him go they won't let him go one thing that really bugged me is there were some people saying casmo doesn't have the legs for the Premier League blah blah blah right and they said this last season and fine fair enough right the guy gives away loses the ball twice blame for both goals ten hog makes sure he knows that we're blaming him because he takes him off yeah it's not he didn't make those mistakes because he doesn't have legs he made those mistakes because I he wasn't alert or wasn't on the ball as people think and yet that's what I read criticism of him he doesn't have the leg come on man yeah Matt hum is back baby he signs for Roma as a free agent he won't be lacking motivation gab will he no he won't I think he's got a few things few things to get off his chest um I think he's burned a few Bridges uh I'm excited now do I love the fact that like homos manini Anda you kind of have like a lot of physicality back there it's not necessarily bad maybe not so much in terms of in terms of legs apart from Inda when fit um but I like this I think he he knows what he's going into knows the leadership turned down turned on West Ham reportedly and so on and I think it's going to be a funo is coming as well so they've got a few C you said the other day that they were short in Cent BS so since then sming is gone but moso has arrived maybe even manolas they talking about manolas coming back I'm not sure about man coming back much as I love the Greek god cost manolas who who of course you know Champions League hero of all time but still no [Music]
