Not to disrespect yeah. However I don't believe Rodri was solid enough to be given a Ballon d'Or. I always believed it should have been given to Vinicius Junior because of having an insane season. But anyways...
But it is the obvious truth that Manchester City needs Rodri too much in the midfield. They are more fragile without him. Rodri is like the pillar there playing a big role going back and forth to help his teammates. He is out until the summer which is the sad truth for Guardiola.
It's your POV, not journalist's POV who became the panelist of Ballon dOr
That's indeed Vini has carried his club at that time, but what he did obviously scored as many as he could. It's pretty different with Rodri who has been so crucial to his club. He played as mid, but he helped to score, ball circulation, defence, and many more.
I know that it might not fair for Vini, but that's the truth. I think it's time to stop because Rodri was the one who chosen by hundreds of journalist for Ballon d'Or.
In the case that Manchester City failure is because of Rodri's absence is also not true. It was time for Manchester City to drop because they cannot continue to be at the top. Remember Gundigon left, Mahrez also left, both Rodri and KDB got injured the same time, Guardiola was divorced. All at the same time....
