“Is It Fair to Compare Players from
Different Positions for the Ballon d'Or?”
The Ballon d'Or has always been regarded as an award
for the best player in the world, but comparing the
performance of players from different positions has
consistently been challenging. For example, as a
forward, Junior focuses heavily on scoring goals and
creating offensive opportunities, while Rodri, as a
defensive midfielder, has entirely different
responsibilities, such as playmaking and protecting the
defensive line. Therefore, comparing these two players
by a single set of criteria is a significant injustice.

“Is the voting system reliable if votes come
from individuals without specialized
knowledge in football?”
Comparison of Offensive Stats: Junior has consistently played a
pivotal role in his team’s games with his outstanding offensive
performance and goal-scoring opportunities. His goals and assists
clearly reflect his high impact on the team’s offensive strength.
Comparison of Defensive Stats: Rodri, with a significant number of
tackles, successful ball recoveries, and playmaking from midfield,
has been a crucial part of his team’s defense and control of the
game. These stats illustrate his effectiveness in fulfilling his role.
Critique of the Voting System: The current voting system evaluates
players within a single framework, overlooking these distinctions,
which leads to unfairness and disregards the unique roles each
player fulfills.

**"Final Thoughts"**
"Technically, even when considering
playing positions and performance
metrics, determining the best player
remains challenging due to the
varying opinions on what constitutes
the 'best.'"
