Could well be a siege mentality thing too. Having being dicked at home by Barca, they now believe the whole world is against them and use it as fuel.But is it ?
It's got people talking about them.
First of all, Rodri does not deserve any hate, the man did nothing wrong. Now to the allegations:
1- Real Madrid, Vinicius and sponsors (Nike) were told weeks ago that Vini won, allegedly through France Football in an "unofficial" way.
Nike spent millions in marketing materials, designing his new shoes, and events throughout different stores. This is why Vini showed his Nike underwear vs Dortmund.
2- This was an open secret, like it always is, but then suddenly UEFA and FF decide that this year they won't "oficially" pre announce to the winner who he is. Strange move but ok.
3- Rodri was allegedly not traveling. UEFA had to communicate that he had won so he would show up. Man City, in an act of class, allegedly told RM that they were told Rodri won, and that whatever info we had of Vini winning was false.
When you combine 2 and 3, it does seem that there were intentions to embarrass Real Madrid on live camera. This is why there is and should be outrage.
Rodri was not City's or Spain's best player last season, yet he managed to get the Ballon D'Or
He didn’t even make the top seven players in the Premier League last season, yet he’s now a top contender on the global stage? It just feels like the award’s standards are becoming increasingly inconsistent.
The media confirmed it [Vini would win it], Vini said it himself. It seems like UEFA planned to humiliate Vini and Real Madrid by having him be there and Rodri winning it.
It’s no secret that UEFA hates Perez for his Super League attempt, and this is a way more personal attack than you are giving it credit for.
believe their own hypeTrue, and it is very similar to another " biggest club in the world " who also embarrass themselves on a regular basis.
Certain clubs have " image " but very little integrity or class when it matters.
Is this a UEFA organised event? I thought the Ballon D'Or was organised by a French magazine?because I am a sucker for trying to understand certain seemingly rash actions, here are some viewpoints from popular Real Madrid social networks and boards;
And i should balance the above by stating that plenty of Madrid fans seem a bit concerned at their clubs actions and the way football has become a huge excuse to get offended over dumb tiny stuff >90% of fans didnt give a toss about, even a few seasons ago.
Sorry, can't help myself. Shit house from RM.
it is yeah, co-organised these days, the voting system remains from the days it was a french thingIs this a UEFA organised event? I thought the Ballon D'Or was organised by a French magazine?
