The Ballon Dor should be divided into 4 categories: goalkeeper, defender, midfielder and forward.
Because this award is always given to forwards or attackers.
For example, Donnarumma was a very good goalkeeper this year. Hakimi and Nuno Mendes had a very good season, but these players have no chance of receiving this award.
In the past, Fabio Cannavaro received this award as a defender, but he would not have received it if Zidane had not received a red card in the World Cup Final.
In previous years, Manuel Neuer was a very good goalkeeper, but he did not receive this award. I think it would be more fair if this award was given for 4 different areas.
There is only one way to prevent this injustice, and that is this.
I understand the point you're trying to make, although the ballon d'Or is an individual award, it recognize the excellence of a player whether goalkeeper
, midfielder
strikerand strikers performance in a calendar year. However the goalkeepers and defenders efforts to a large extent haven't been recognize enough, so it will not be out of place if a categories is been set aside
to recognize the goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and attackers. Sincerely speaking I would have loved to see Manuel Neuerwin the Ballon d'Or during his prime, man was outstanding.
