Okay lets take a step back for just a few minutes, leave our biased views behind and concentrate on how International coaches view matches. I am not talking about European club managers but all over the world
They look at international matches ie national games and club matches in Cl , they don't always get to watch individual league games
Now if we base it on that then from what they have seen of Nedved would not be good enough for them to say he is the best in the world, in the Cl he was anonymous in most matches except for Real at home and he missed the final altogether, he is not the biggest influence in the czech rep and they not been high profile would count against him too (not fair , I know but thats life)
The final itself apart from defenders and the goal keepers noone came out of that match with any credit from their point of view
Now they have seen Ronaldo score a hatrick against Man united at Old trafford, destroy Juventus in one half and when he went off injured we came into the game, seen Real madrid play some of the best football the world has ever seen in Cl last season and Ronaldo scoring for Brazil
Zidane well the same and to add they have seen France with Zz winning all their matches in euro2004 qualifiers
They have seen Henry score a hatrick in Rome against Roma, and score almost everytime for France in both euro2004 qualifiers and the confederation's cup
I do not know how much they show Juve in south America but not having that many south america players in our team would not help our cause in them showing us over there, theyd probably show more of Inter and Roma over there, I do not know
Personally, Ronaldo does deserve his nomination for he more than anyone made Real Madrid win the league and he did reasonably well in the Cl
The Italian league is probably paying for the fact that they play very defensively and when you are under the spotlight as they were in cl final , they should have done more to entertain
I don't mind it, most of us on here like it but the rest of the world do not like it, so why would u think they'd vote for players in the Italian league
