5 reasons why David De Gea should win the Ballon d'Or?

#1 Enough of Messi and Cristiano

FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala 2014 — Enough of these two already

Oh, for pity's sake, when will these two stop their domination over this award? Isn’t it getting too monotonous already? Prosaic is the word I am looking at here and the last 9 Ballon d’Or awards have been just that.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Lionel Messi, Lionel Messi, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo – this has been the sequence of the last 9 Ballon d’Or awards and I, for one, am getting very tired of it.

These two are monsters are geniuses and possess attributes that makes it seem like everyone else is playing a different sport. When these two play at their optimum level, it feels like football isn’t a sport anymore, it becomes art and the duo are the footballing reincarnations of Pablo Picasso and Vincent Van Gogh.

But this has to end. I know I sound silly here, but this, for the sake of unpredictability and randomness has to end. I want to live in a world where nobody has any clue as to who would be the next Ballon d’Or winner.

I want to be in a world where there are 5 or 6 players who could win the Ballon d’Or – and not just two.
