hello everyone good morning good afternoon good evening and good night whenever you're watching this you're welcome to watch it anytime and welcome to Long firm content we're going to be making long videos like this then shorting it shortening it down to clips and then putting it on Instagram and YouTube so I hope you're looking forward to this and let's go over to our first topic for this video this is a very hot topic right now so you should know what it is I'll give you some time to guess think about it what's an interesting topic of course course I'm talking about the one and only who wins the Balon door in 2024 this is a very hot topic right now maybe the hottest topic of town and this topic is also a bit sad because less than a decade ago we have the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo Lion Messi Luis Suarez Neymar Jr Andre Iniesta Serio Aguero Harry Kane these kind of players competing for the Balon door but now this year's Balon door list is a little bit sad and football has been exciting but individual performances have not been up to par with players some time ago getting 60 plus GA every season making for an exciting Bal fight to now players barely reaching 40 ga so let's go over this topic and my thoughts on this topic are a little bit controversial so you should stay tuned till the end grab some popcorn and let's go over to the first segment which is who I think can win the Batton let's go according to me there are only four players who can realistically win the Balon door so let's go over them and this is going to be a bit of a shock because stay in your seats don't get out there because according to me mbappe and Harland do not win the Balon door they are not in my top four so let's go over the top four that I think can win the Balon door I have as the first player Jude not in any order the first player is Jude Bellingham the second player is his teammate and Brazilian vesses Jr the third player is rodri of Manchester City and the fourth player is the biggest shock which is Laro Martinez who according to me has very high chances of winning the bond so let's discuss these players one by one into the second segment the first player we have is of course the Englishman Jude Bellingham he signed for Real Madrid last year for a record fee of 106 million euros and he's been spectacular at the start of the Season his performance dropped down a bit and he was not as great at the end of the season but he was still a great player and you cannot deny that Jude Bellingham for Real Madrid scored 23 goals and had 13 assists as a midfielder do not forget that as a midfielder he has such a high GA with the goals being a lot more than the assists do not forget that and for his country in the Euro qualifiers and of course the actual Euros he had two goals and one assist so his stats are obviously great they're not as great as we had the players who were winning the Balor 10 years ago but in today's time these are great stats he's a great shout for the bondor and his achievements include winning the UCL where vishes Junior carried a bit but we're not going to talk about that where he won the La Liga he won the super cup which he won recently only and he had an assist there too he won the espania super coper and he was the Euros runner up he carried uh he carried England throughout the tournament a little bit and his performance was of course great we cannot deny that so now let's move on to the second player which is vesas JR we all know and love venisha Jr as the fast-paced Winger with his great ability to score goals and cut inside but let's talk about him this season this season he's not been as great as Jude Bellingham at the start of the season but his performance has not been dropping or be all going up a lot he has been very consistent for Real Madrid throughout the season and his ability to cut inside from the flank and score goals pass and just be a great playmaker is very evident here he scored 24 goals just one more than Jude Bellingham and had 10 assists in for Real Madrid and in the Copa America qualifies and the real Copa America he had two goals and one assist which is a little bit disappointing he also won the UCL he the the La Liga the super Cup and the super Copa but Brazil had a very very disappointing performance in the Copa America which was not expected people expected them to win the whole tournament or at least reach the finals but they got knocked out of course in the semifinals he was great in the season but we all know that one player alone cannot do a lot and that's the main reason for Brazil's failure so venous Jr is just a very consistent performer and he's really fast that's his two main qualities and that's why he's been so good this season and he's a great shout for the UCL he carried Real Madrid in the entire UCL and was consistent in the La Liga 2o so now let's move on to the third player and the third Contender for The Valor rodri the third Contender that we have is rodri who's known and love for his ability to control the entire game Rodi along with other cdms such as friend Roo Valverde and of course hakan chulu are very good at controlling the entire pitch they can help in the defense they boss the Midfield and they occasionally from outside the box just score a banger or two and Rod rodri has been phenomenal this season especially for Manchester City he's not got that many goals and assists he only has nine goals and 11 assists for Manchester City but he's just been very good in playmaking and the game play his defensive playmaking and his ability to transform the play from defensive to attacking is very good and that's why he's such a big shout for the balondo he has won the Premier League with Man City for the fourth time in a row don't forget that he won the Euros with Spain although he was injured in the finals and just scored one goal there and he won the community shield with Man City with Spain he scored one goal in the euros and had one assist in the qualifiers rodri was a big shout to win the Balon door but of course his chances have gone down significantly and this is because during the Euro winning celebrations rodri said some pretty controversial things about jalta and Spain's land dispute and that is why that his chances of winning the Balon have gone down significantly uh it is include it is included in the Balon rule book and it says that players should not only be good at the game but they should obviously be well respect they should be respectful and they should have good manners I guess so Rod's chances have gone down but this does not deny the fact that he's a great player and he should win the Balon do but now let's move on to the fourth pick and who I think has a very high chance of winning the Balon door Laro Martinez the Argentinian Striker who plays for interm Milan has been great this season and I'm talking phenomenal over the last few seasons with interm Milan he's not only been consistent but he's there he's been there in the big and small times of his team whether they need a winning goal in the last minute or they just need to win a game by a big margin he's always been there this season he's had 27 goals for of only Inter Milan only the club and he's had three assists which is below par and for Argentina he's had five goals four all five in the cup of America so he's just a phenomenal player and people are not giving him the respect that he needs I myself I'm a Portugal under Ronaldo fan but you can't deny the fact that this Argentinian Striker has been on fire he won the goodto with Inter Milan and they were great in the UCL their run came short a bit but they were good you cannot deny the fact and he's just been fantastic for them he's been banging goals left and right and he's just been absolutely phenomenal and he has a very very high chance of winning the bondor cuz he's had his fair share of goals not that many assists but the trophies have been there too so it is a very hard pick and of course do not count out Laro Martinez and Argentina might win another Bal so let's go over to the general discussion and who I think will win the Balon door now that we've discussed the players goals assists stats trophies everything now let's think about who wins the bond cuz this is the main part of the video this is a pretty hard choice to make because when I was thinking about this I was pretty confused all the players were pretty equal so it was pretty hard deciding who wins but according to me the winner is drum roll please vishous Jr yes I think that the Brazilian is going to win even though he had a disappointing Copa America he was absolutely phenomenal Brazil had a disappointing Copa America vishous on the other hand was lighting up the pitch whether it was against a easy opponent like Venezuela or or Ecuador or it was against a difficult opponent like Uruguay or Argentina these are just examples he was lighting up the pitch his play his game play did not change and he was clutch he was the factor for Real Madrid in that quadruple winning side or Tribble Winning Side he scored when it was required when they needed goals he scored in the Champions League final too and he was the one who carried Real Madrid in the UCL La Lia was a little different story but he scored there a lot too so he had been great in the season Laro Martinez on the other hand he had a good Cupa America but I don't think that his UCL performances were up to par and of course the La Liga is a little bit more difficult League than the Sera on the other hand rodri as we discussed because of that controversial topic that he got a little drunk on and and spoke about I think that's the factor that does not give him the balondo and Jude Bellingham his performance dip in the end of the season was just the deciding factor for him not winning the Bal on he was great though and that bicycle in the semi-finals was absolute class to send them to extra time and then eventually when the match was absolute class so I would give second place in the B ranking to Jude Bellingham I would give third place to maybe uh Laro Martinez and fourth place to maybe rodri and if he gets maybe disqualified or he has a point deduction then maybe harand or mbappe who knows but that's what I think vishous wins the Bal Jude Bellingham finishes in a close second and I'm talking close second and in third place we have Laro Martinez but of course the Balon door has a lot of power in the media and Jude Bellingham is a player loved by the media so he also has a big chance of winning just because of his media attention I think villes should win the Balon but it's just a onew between the Real Madrid dynamic duo so that's who I think wins the Balon in the top three ranking now let's have some general discussion about this Balon it's been I as I've said are not up to power balondo it's been a very disappointing season the players individual performances have been great but not as good as they used to be and we have now midfielders winning the Balon which is great for them which is something that we've always wanted but that's the problem we haven't seen flare attackers or goal scoring machines this season come to use we had Co palmer but his performances were just not enough he really picked up at the end of the season he was the Premier League's highest goal scorer combined with harand of course but I don't think that his performances were great enough for Chelsea they were good but for England and just his overall gameplay was not that great and Harland of course because of Norway he had a bad International side of things so that's all my thoughts on the Balon that's everything that I have to say and I think that venous wins for one last time who do you think is wi who do you think wins cuz I'm pretty interested to know who you guys think wins cuz yall might think it's someone else from the four yall might think it might be Harland or mbappe or someone that I just have not stated in this video so I'm interested to know your thoughts put your thoughts down in the comments I would like to see them and that's all for right now thank you
