African players not respected in ballon dor vote says etoo

A interesting topic!

Didier Drogba, not Etoo, made the statement that African players are not respected in the Ballon d'Or vote. In an interview with BBC Sport in 2019, Drogba said:

"I think African players are not respected in the Ballon d'Or vote. We have to fight for our rights, we have to fight for our recognition. We have to make sure that our voices are heard."

Drogba's comments were in response to the fact that no African player had won the Ballon d'Or award since 1995, when George Weah, a Liberian player, won the award. Drogba himself was a finalist for the award in 2007 and 2009, but did not win.

Etoo, on the other hand, is a Cameroonian professional footballer who played for several clubs including Barcelona, Inter Milan, and Chelsea. He is a two-time African Footballer of the Year and won the UEFA Champions League twice with Barcelona. While Etoo has not made any public statements about African players not being respected in the Ballon d'Or vote, he has spoken about the importance of recognizing African players' achievements in the sport.
