Ronaldo didn't have enough votes, UEFA manipulated 2019 formation

U n EFA changed the formation for the top 11th of the year, voted by fans, only to find a place for Cristiano Ronaldo, who had yet received fewer votes than NColo Kante, who was. EFA took him away from the team of the year.

On Wednesday, the European football governing body, UEFA, published 11th best of the year, which is elected through the fan vote.

However, the formation left many surprised fans, the cause of the 4-2-4 choice scheme.

DailyMail reports U EFA used this scheme only to accommodate the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, who was the fourth most voted by attackers after Lionel Mess, Sadio Manes and Robert Leandowski.

UEFA leaders did not want to publish this formation without Ronaldo, and for this reason a midfielder was removed from the team to accommodate Portuguese. The midfielder that he suffered from this is the NewGolo Cante of Chelsea, according to the DailyMail.

In fact, the British daily reports that this formation was originally planned to be published last week, but Ronaldo's absence postponed this publication, since UEFA was looking for another solution.

This is not a good thing at all. It's vote manipulation. Ronaldo is so famous among U officials. EFA, that organization was alarmed that he was 11 and therefore the formation was changed. That's what makes you think what else they're doing”, said a source for DailyMail, broadcast the Express.

On the other hand, a spokesperson U n EFA has suggested that this change was made thanks to Portuguese victory in the League of Nations.

This year's “Formation was selected on the basis of the fans' votes and in parallel on the basis of players' achievements in UEFA competitions. As a result, we have five winners of the Champions League and four finalists of the League of Nations (including one winner). The formation is regularly changed, and this year makes no difference”, the spokesman said UEFA.

However, in the early years the formation is based only on the fans' votes. In the last five of the six years, the formation has been 4-3-3, except in 2017 when the 4-4-2 formation was selected.
