Chelsea Iron Gate Kesedo missed the Golden Ball Award, genius is the hero of the double championship, and the failure to be selected has caused doubts

Recently, the list of shortlists for the Golden Globes was officially announced, which has caused widespread discussion and controversy in the football world. On this controversial roster, only Palmer represents Chelsea, while the team's absolute core, 23-year-old Ecuador international Kessedo failed to be selected. This result confused many fans. After all, Kessedo's performance was stable and critical last season. He not only helped Chelsea win the European League and Club World Cup championships, but also an indispensable key figure in the team's midfield. In the Chelsea internal selection, Kesedo was elected the best player, and he was highly recognized by his teammates and fans. This genius midfielder, who is worth 90 million, deserves higher honors.

Looking back on last season, Kesedo's performance was perfect. In the Premier League, as Chelsea's main midfielder, he started all 38 rounds of games, showing amazing endurance and stability. His presence not only strengthened the team's defensive hardness, but also played a key linkage role in the midfield. Kesedo also performed well in the UEFA League, especially in the knockout stage, his performance became more and more eye-catching. In the final, he scored a key goal, helping Chelsea win the cup successfully.

In addition, in the Club World Cup, Kessedo, as the team's midfielder core, was also one of the heroes to win the championship. Throughout the season, Kesedo played 50 games, contributing 2 goals and 6 assists, and his comprehensive performance undoubtedly proved his importance in the team.

Kesedo performed well in the national team. As a core player of the Ecuadorian national team, he led the team to successfully advance to the World Cup and became a dark horse in the South American qualifiers. In the national team's game, Kesedo also demonstrated his excellent defensive ability and midfield organization ability, becoming an indispensable member of the team. Such an excellent performance still cannot make him on the shortlist for the Golden Globes. What is the reason?

Perhaps, the criteria for selection of the Golden Globes are too complex, and the factors involved are not only the players' on-court performance, but also the team's overall record, personal popularity, and performance in key games. Although Kesedo's strength is unquestionable, on a big stage like the Golden Globes, it often requires some blessing of luck and exposure, which is also a pity.

Although Chelsea won the European Union and Club World Cup last season, it ranked only fourth in the Premier League. This may have affected Kesedo's selection to a certain extent. In addition, Kesedo himself has a low-key personality and relatively low media exposure, which may also lead to him being at a disadvantage in the selection.

Judging from data analysis, Kesedo's performance on the defensive end is extremely outstanding, and his steals and interception data ranks among the top in the entire league, especially when facing strong teams, his performance is even more impressive. In addition, Kesédo's contribution on the offensive end cannot be ignored. His passing success rate is as high as more than 90%, which can effectively help the team organize the offense. His passing and scheduling skills in the midfield often create excellent offensive opportunities for the team.

For Kesedo, absent from the Golden Globes shortlist does not mean that his efforts and achievements are not recognized. For such a capable and potential player, the honor of the Golden Globes will belong to him sooner or later.

Currently, there are 18 billion yuan men in the football world. 11 players were selected for the Golden Ball Awards, and 7 were not selected.
