Half of the votes for Golden Ball, Modric most voted immediately

How is that known?

While voting for journalists worldwide ended on Friday, French media and in particular Radio France International” has distributed exclusive information since half of the votes have been counted, claiming that Luca Modric is at the top of the list.

Significantly, the Croatian midfielder had an extraordinary season with Real Madrid and Croatia's National World Cup.

Modric seems to be on the move to stop the Ronaldo Messi dominance, which has won this award in the last ten years.

Another interesting fact is that Modric's top competitors at the moment are said to be Raphael Varan and Kyljan Mbppe, who currently hold second and third positions. Ronaldo, Messy and Griesmann are not on the tight list of candidates to win the prestigious award.

The winner of the Golden Ball, which is elected by 200 journalists around the world, will be announced on December 3, 2018, in Paris. With a list of 30 players, each jury member picks the top five and ranks them. The scores are from 6, 4, 3, 2 and 1. /Periscopi/
