Bayern Goalkeeper: Golden Ball is for Forwards

Three weeks have passed since the annual Ballon d'Or award ceremony determined the best player 2019, but discussions are still in full swing. Manuel Neuer, a goalkeeper in Bayern since 2011, also expressed his opinion. According to him, the “Golden Ball" award is usually given to forwards because their game is more spectacular.

During a match, all eyes are on attackers because their main task on the field is to score goals. The work of goalkeepers and defenders doesn't seem much impressive to fans, thus, such players rarely win.

Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool defender, was about to obtain the win ball this year, but ended up second after Messi. In 2014, Neuer himself was two steps away from the trophy: he was placed third.

And that's unfair, just like life.

It is a Fashion parade for Forwards forgetting that we have other aspect of the game that are also vital.

Manuel Neuer is right

If I had my way, I'll create a Balon d'or for midfielders and goal keepers (they ha theirs too) cus it is clear that until Jesus comes, that's when a defender or a goal keeper win the World Best
