Will Robert Lewandowski still win the Ballon d'Or? The editor-in-chief of French Football gave the Bayern star some hope by giving him a series of speeches today. It is worth mentioning that the first to make this suggestion is this year's Golden Globe winner - Messi.
Lewandowski in the 2019-20 season can be said to be a god, scoring a total of 64 goals in that season, including 55 goals and 9 assists in 47 of all competitions of the club, and finally won all the titles he could win at the club as a main player – including the heaviest Champions League and Bundesliga of course. However, unfortunately, due to the new crown epidemic, "French Football" decided to cancel the selection of the 2020 Ballon d'Or Awards, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to Levan.
At the just-concluded 2021 Golden Globes ceremony, the ultimate winner, Messi, told Levan in his acceptance speech: "Everyone knows you were last year's champion. I think French football should give you the 2020 awards and that's what you deserve. Perhaps Messi's shouts really worked, Pascal Ferré, editor-in-chief of French Football, said on Wednesday: "Messi said it well and smartly." I don't think we have to make a decision very quickly. We can think about it, while respecting the history of the Ballon d'Or, which is based on votes", "We can't be sure that Levan will definitely win the 2020 Ballon d'Or, because we didn't vote at the time, but to be honest, he won a lot in 2020." ”
This year's Golden Globe Awards selection results are controversial, after the dust has settled, the mainstream media in various countries have also commented on this, let's take a few representative looks:
Germany's Kicker: "The cancellation of the 2020 Ballon d'Or is extremely painful for bayern strikers and clubs, as well as many other stars. But there may be nothing that can be changed. And [...] that's not Messi's fault. ”
Spanish newspaper Marca: "Do you know what Adriano Wright in 2004, Robinho in 2007, Luis Suarez in 2011, Sanchez in 2016 and Alves in 2019 have in common?" In fact, they both won the Copa America and were both named the best players of the tournament — yes, none of them won the Ballon d'Or that year. [...] Europe itself humiliated itself. [...] Since yesterday, we have learned that the Copa America turned out to be more valuable and meaningful than the European Cup and the Champions League. (Messi's Argentina won this year's Copa America, which is believed to be the most important reason for his Ballon d'Or.) ）
La Nación, Argentina: "If, decades from now, someone questions the fairness of the best player selection, look back at this Ballon d'Or in 2021. ”
