Borussia Dortmund captain Sebastian Kehl is disappointed that only one player from his team made the 23-men-shortlist for the Ballon d’or trophy this year. He claims that they have great individual talents and that seeing just one of them featuring in the list in a disappointment.
Robert Lewandowski is the only player from the German club to star in the shortlist spearheaded by Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Franck Ribery among others.
“First of all, I haven’t seen the entire list yet, so for me it’s a new situation. But I would have expected a few more Dortmund players to make it,” Kehl told reporters.
“And I wouldn’t exactly see it as justified that there’s only one player from Borussia Dortmund.
“It may be that Dortmund are judged as a team, but of course we have a lot of great individual players, too.
“But we are successful as a team at the end of the day and I think that’s not subject to any debate,” the German concluded.
