Ex-captain of the Equatorial Guinea national team Juvenal Edjogo dropped a bomb when he was speaking with the Spanish sports network Gol Play.
Talking about the Ballon d’Or awards, Juvenal said that back in 2013, he voted for Didier Drogba and Andrés Iniesta, but when the voting was made public, under his name were listed Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
“These awards have no value”
“What little I can say about this type of award is that in 2013, I voted for my three players for the Ballon d’Or, and I sent my votes, and in the end when it was made public, the list of who voted for who, my votes were different,” Juvenal told Gol Play.
“It said I voted for Messi, Cristiano, and I don’t know who else, but I didn’t vote for any of them. That’s why I say, I don’t believe in absolutely anything about those awards.”
Juvenal said he never told anyone about the mistake (or change?) because he didn’t care much. It only served to make him stop believing the the awards mean anything at all.
“Since then, I’ve thought these awards have no value.”

I 100% agree with Juvenal, actually I've said this before that this Balloon d'or is a Spanish Circus run by the French.

best players award today is nothing. It's based on who the media wants. Messi floped all season with psg n won the WC fifa gave him best player. when Messi loses the WC n other trophies fifa say the best player is based on individual performance and not team work . When he wins the WC they now say it's based on trophy.

All I can say everything were human beings are involved are imperfect. Of course there is corruption and these things are controlled, and controversies are definitely there. But make no mistake abt it, just bcos they have come out now doesn't they have existed now, doesn't mean Messi's win is not on merit. I remember in 2013 when Ribery won everything yet Ronaldo won Ballon d'or, and of course there have been a time/s Messi's won that looked otherwise. Controversies are, and will always be there whoever wins. It's the world we live in. But to say Messi won the WC bcos Fifa wanted him to is to lack a brain. You can question everything but you can't question Argentina's win. Those guys Labored to win. The whole world watched and saw how Argentina pushed.

if Messi would've got second yellow for a hand ball there would've be Argentina in the final
