Jose Mourinho believes Arsene Wenger's ideas on the Ballon d'Or are correct.

The Arsenal boss feels there is too much focus on the European Player of the Year award when there should be more attention given to the exploits of top teams.

Wenger's Chelsea counterpart Mourinho concurs with the Frenchman and feels that perhaps champion sides are not given as much recognition as individuals these days.

"I think Wenger said something that is interesting; he is against the Ballon d'Or, and I think he's right, because in this moment football is losing a little bit the concept of the team to focus more on the individual," he said.

"We are always looking at the individual performance, the individual stat, the player that runs more.

"Because you run 11km in a game and I run nine you did a better job than I did?

"Maybe not! Maybe my 9km were more important than your 11.

"For me, football is collective."

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo was named the 2014 FIFA Ballon d'Or winner in January this year, following on from his 2013 win ahead of Barcelona's Lionel Messi.
