Kamara feels his compatriot Sadio Mane was deserving of at least finishing ahead of teammate Virgil Van Dijk in this past year’s awards.
His fellow Senegal teammate feels that unless he leaves Liverpool, he may never be given the credit he deserves.
Speaking to ESPN, Kamara believes Liverpool don’t allow Mane to demonstrate his full potential either.
He said: “If Mane, one day wants to win the Ballon d’Or, he may have to leave Liverpool.”
“The club is maybe not the best advocates for him, despite their outstanding performances.”
“He needs to continue on the road he’s going down, as he wasn’t too far from finishing on the podium.”
“Even for me he maybe deserved to win it this year. Now he needs to continue to work, and maybe even change clubs.”
“We’ve seen that Liverpool don’t really play to Mane’s strengths.”
“People gave their votes to Virgil van Dijk even though Mane and to a lesser extent Mohamed Salah were equally in the running.”
