My daughter played mostly d mid through club, state, ODP and collegiate teams. Started every game throughout career. Received Defensive Player of Year award in college. Only coaches, teammates and knowledgeable fans noticed. Most fans are focused on goal scorers. The best female club in the world selected Keira for heaps of playing time. We all know she’s brilliant. Knowing the bias in individual award selection, I’m guessing she’s content to celebrate team trophies and medals while earning the respect of everyone around her. Besides that, she’s got lots of talented, goal and assist obsessed players in front of her! She’s better in her position than most of them could be.
That is sad reality, but it shouldn't be like that. It should be for all players, because Ballon d'or is not a 'best offesive player contest', but 'best player contest'. It's pretty obvious defenders/midfielders will not score as much as forwards. But that doesn't mean defenders/midfielders are less important. Especially in modern football where every offensive play is starting with defenders. If you have bad defenders and bad midfielders your forwards won't score a thing and even Messi in you team wouldn't change that. Team is everything and every team need quality player on key positions. CDM is one of those positions. IMO most important position in every team, because it links defense with midfield. Takes a key role in every transision from defense to attack and other way around.
Yes. Keira Walsh is a very good midfielder with clever mind and accurate passing skill that why Barcelona picked her👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. She should be nominated at least. The defensive midfield was very important to stop the opponents' attack in time and organizing counterattack to turn the table on the other side. The good and skillful defensive midfield are crucial for a team to win the game. They are important but unfortunately not charmful.😔
