France Football, which hosts the Ballon d'Or, released a list of 30 Ballon d'Or candidates on the 5th (Korea time). After the announcement of the list, fans' attention was paid to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The two players were not found on the 30-man list. For the first time since 2003, Messi and Ronaldo have both been excluded from the list of 30 Ballon d'Or candidates.
However, in addition to the two players, there was a player who responded to the failure to include his candidate list first. It was Seru Girasi, who had the best performance after Harry Kane in the Bundesliga last season.

He also threatened top scorer Harry Kane. Due to the mid-season injury, he played 28 league games, scored 28 goals and 2 assists, and scored 30 goals in 30 official games, showing a Kane-class scoring ability per game with 36 goals in 32 league games. Girashi, born in 1996, is not very young, but his stable competition ability, right to provide, and goal determination using physicality were noted and was considered the top Bundesliga resource. This summer, he also succeeded in moving to Dortmund, the prestigious Bundesliga.
However, Girasi's name could not be found on the Ballon d'Or shortlist. He advanced to the European Champions League with Kane-class scoring ability and closing his former team Stuttgart in second place, but to no avail. Most of the players who played in Euro 2024 instead of Girashi, and those who showed outstanding performances in the English Premier League (EPL) and La Liga took the place.

However, the list cannot be changed despite his dissatisfaction, so in order for Girasi to be listed as a Ballon d'Or candidate, he has no choice but to show better performance and watch the next season.
Meanwhile, in addition to Girashi, Hodrigo, who played an active role in Real Madrid last season, also posted an emoticon that meant he could not understand with photos of his performance last season when he was excluded from the list.
