Chelsea midfielder Jorginho believes the Ballon d'Or should not be awarded only on the basis of the number of goals scored by a player.
Jorginho feels that if there was a much more balanced approach with the Ballon d'Or, it would motivate other players to win one too.
"It’s not up to me to say if I should win the Ballon d'Or," Jorginho recently told GloboEsporte. But it would be an incentive for other players, to show that not only goals are taken into account."
Jorginho has also said it would be nice if he wins the 2021 Ballon d'Or. However, the Chelsea midfielder won't complain if he does not since he has already lifted the UEFA Men's Player of the Year Award.
"I don't want to have too many expectations, but I would be hypocritical if I said I don't think about it," he said. "It's great if it happens, but if it doesn't, I won’t complain. I keep my feet on the ground and I focus on something else, I've already won the Best Player of the Year by UEFA."
The Ballon d'Or has become a duopoly between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo due in recent times to the sheer number of goals they have scored. The pair have won 11 out of the last 12 awards. Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric is the only exception having lifted the Ballon d'Or back in 2018.
