Yamal, last season, scored 19 goals, 22 assists, created 99 chances and played 5031 minutes, while Micheal Oliise scored 21 goals, 24 assists, creating 157 chances and 3883 minutes the same season, but finds himself at number 30 in the ranking and Yamal with that of achievement was in the 2nd position what have actually happened is it age difference or because Michael is African by parents.why I am confused is that The ranking for the Ballon d’Or is determined by a voting system where 100 journalists from FIFA-ranked nations vote for their top 10 players from a 30-player shortlist, awarding points based on rank. The primary factors considered by these journalists are individual performances, team achievements, and class and fair play, but Michael Olise was born in England, to a Nigerian father and a French-Algerian mother, making him eligible to play for Nigeria, France, Algeria, and England. He was born in London in 2001, and he plays for the France national team.
