Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed his dissatisfaction with the list of nominations for this year’s Ballon d’Or, which is scheduled to be awarded next October.
Despite the fact that 7 Real Madrid stars were selected among the nominees for the award, the absence of a Real Madrid player angered Carlo Ancelotti.
It is no secret that this award always raises controversy about the winners and nominations, but the absence of Rodrygo Goes from the list this year has particularly worried Ancelotti.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central: Ancelotti considers Rodrygo one of the best players in the world last season, which makes him unable to understand why he was not nominated.
Rodrigo is not the only one who feels dissatisfied, as Neymar Jr. and Jude Bellingham expressed their support for Rodrygo via social media, with Neymar adding that he should at least be among the top five players in the world.
The newspaper added that Rodrygo is very disappointed because he expected to be on the list, but he knows that being on the list requires more than just excellent performance, as it depends on many factors.
However, he is determined to focus on having a great season with Real Madrid, where he will do his best to shine despite the presence of
distinguished teammates such as Mbappé, Vinicius and Bellingham.
Rodrygo knows that he has the qualities to become one of the best footballers in the world, but he needs to improve his physical fitness and increase his self-confidence to fully exploit this potential.
