Granit Xhaka came 16th in the race for the "Golden Ball" 2024, was voted by two countries in the first three places, but did not receive a single point from Switzerland, the country he has proudly represented over the years.
Daniel Visentini, who was allowed to vote as a jury for "Tribune de Geneve", preferred to rely on Vinicius Junior, Rodri, Belingam, Carvahal, Martinez, Foden, Haland, Jamal, Mbappe and Kane, not voting for Xhaka at all.
In an exclusive statement for 'GazetaBlic Sport', Visentini has shown why he did not give a single point to the footballer of Albanian origin.
Counting the successes of football player Xhaka, who secured the historic championship title with Bayer Leverkusen and the German Super Cup, the final of the Europa League and shone with Switzerland's jersey in "EURO 2024", being the best of the match twice, our question was direct: Why didn't you give a single point to Granit Xhaka in the voting for the 'Golden Ball'?
Visentini chose to respond this way: " Granit Xhaka was very close to being in my top 10 list, of course. But he wasn't the only one who deserved points, despite everything he did last season ."
It seems to be a more diplomatic answer and perhaps beyond the expectations of a journalist who represents Swiss football in such an organization, because after all, the votes of other countries have proven how important the votes from the respective countries of the candidates have been others.
