Mourinho says Wenger 'right' in being against Ballon d'Or as it promotes individualism in football

Agreeing with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger that football is concentrating too much on individuals rather than the team, Chelsea football team manger Jose Mourinho has claimed that the Frenchman is right in being against the Ballon d'Or prize awarded to the world's best footballer.

Mourinho said that Wenger is against the Ballon d'Or and he believes that the Frenchman is right, adding that in this moment football is losing a little bit the concept of the team to focus more on the individual.

Mourinho, who has won seven league titles in four different countries and the Champions League twice, revealed that it is the group that wins, not the individual. He said that for him, football is collective, adding that the individual is welcome if one wants to make their group better, but insisted that he has to work for them and it is not a case that they have to work for the individual.

Mourinho said that when the top player arrives, the team is already there, adding that it's not him who comes to discover the team, like Columbus discovering America, insisting that it is that they are coming now to help the team be better, the BBC reported.

Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo won the 2014 Ballon d'Or ahead of Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer, the report added.
