[b]Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger do not agree on a lot of things but they have the same belief when it comes to the Ballon d'Or. Mourinho in his first stint at Chelsea described Wenger as a "Viewer" after Arsene Wenger made some comments about Chelsea. Last season, Mourinho described the manager of Arsenal as a "specialist in failure". This season, Arsene Wenger shoved the Chelsea manager after a touchline disagreement. However, both manager agree when it comes to their view of the prestigious Ballon d'Or award. Arsene Wenger made it public that he will not cast a vote in the award because he believes it does not promote collective effort of teams but promotes individual achievements. "I think Wenger said something that is interesting, he is against the Ballon d’Or and I think he's right, because in this moment football is losing a little bit the concept of the team to focus more on the individual," Mourinho told The Telegraph. "We are always looking at the individual performance, the individual stat, the player that runs more. Because you run 11 kilometres in a game and I run nine you did a better job than I did? Maybe not! Maybe my nine kilometres were more important than your 11. "For me, football is collective. The individual is welcome if you want to make our group better. But you have to work for us, not we have to work for you. "When the top player arrives, the team is already there. It's not him who comes to discover the team, like [Christopher] Columbus discovering America. No, no, you are coming now to help us be better. "And as a manager you have to give this message every day - not with lectures or words. It's about what the players observe in relation to the behaviour and to the feedback - the way you react to this player and that player, the empathy with this one and that one. "The only thing you cannot give to a player is the talent. But can you work the talent properly so that he understands the team's needs? Is he an intelligent, open guy waiting for you to help him be better? Is he the kind of maverick guy, the selfish guy, where it is much more difficult to persuade him the team is more important than he is? "I've had all of these in every club I've ever worked at. There is no perfect group anywhere but if you ask me what's the most important thing in a player, it's the talent." There is nothing wrong praising someone who has done well to help his team. When teams and players recieve trophies and medals they get the recognitions they deserve. The Ballon d'Or does not take away the greatness of the team or the collective efforts of the players. Going by the theory of Wenger and Mourinho, we should take off golden boots and MVP awards in tournaments and leagues. The Ballon d'Or award brought a healthy competition in football that makes players put in effort to outshine a rival and in turn helps their team. Just as we are watching the battle of two of the greatest players of the game. Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have fought hard for the crown of this generation's best player. This have made their team achieve much success. So this award will create a yardstick for the upcoming generation to try to beat and in turn help the next teams. http://footymail..com/2015/04/mourinho-and-wenger-should-support.html[/b] |

But you know the Ballon dor is about the goals you score and every1 in the team cannot score the same amount of goals no matter what.. Some will assist, Some will keep out the opponent from scoring.. Example is the last Balon dor given to Ronaldo.. I thought Neuer of Bayern Munich deserved it than both Ronaldo and Messi, but he came 3rd on the List.. I think I will go with Mourinho and Wenger on this 1.. |

Bimffo: Yes you are right but yet he repeatedly praised Ronaldo as worthy winner of the Ballon D'or while Messi was continuously being awarded... Until Ronaldo cried out to Blatter & we all know the results... 1 Like |

Bimffo: Manuel Neuer Nomination was nothing but a joke. Bayern Munich/Germany are teams that hold possession for long times. Sometimes, they get 70%-75% possession. So how can Manuel Neuer be the best player in the World when he was not the best in his team. Toni Kroos was Germany's best player and Robben was the best player of Bayern. Ronaldo was clearly the best last year and the award was right. |

Toni Kroos was Germany's best player in what planet? |

raumdeuter: Stats don’t lie: Toni Kroos was the best player in Brazil, but Lionel Messi wasn’t even in the top ten Germany’s star midfielder Toni Kroos was statistically the best player in the tournament, according to the Castrol Index, the FIFA approved ranking of World Cup players. http://metro.co.uk/2014/07/14/stats-dont-lie-toni-kroos-was-the-best-player-in-brazil-but-lionel-messi-wasnt-even-in-the-top-ten-4798149/ |

TheGoodJoe: who takes castrol ranking seriously? |
| Re: Mourinho And Wenger Should Support The Ballon D'or by TheGoodJoe(m): 7:51am On Apr 12, 2015 |
homesteady: Em...,Em..., FIFA. Castrol were the official statisticians for the World Cup. By the way, Toni Kroos was statistically the best player of the World Cup, not just the German side. Manuel Neuer's nomination is a joke. |
