At the Ballon d'Or ceremony that ended this week, Argentine star Lionel Messi became the ultimate winner. He overpowered a number of big stars and for the seventh time lifted the Ballon d'Or, a symbol of the pinnacle of personal honor. But not winning the Ballon d'Or does not necessarily mean a failure, in the history of football, there are many top stars who have not touched the Ballon d'Or in their lives, but still won the praise and love of many fans. "German Transfer Market" recently selected the best 11 people who have never won a Golden Globe Award, 11 players are all famous, and the back line is the world's top!
The goalkeeper position was selected by the legendary German goalkeeper Kahn, nicknamed "Lion King", who led Germany to the runner-up of the 2002 World Cup, while he himself won two awards of World Cup Most Valuable Player and Best Goalkeeper.
The four men in the backline are all star-studded, from left to right are Brazilian star Carlos, Italian centre-back Maldini and Nesta, and right-back is another Brazilian Cafo. The four men were all top players in the same position in their time, but because the Ballon d'Or was more inclined to attacking players, the four never won this personal honor in their careers, and it has to be said that this is also a huge loss for the Ballon d'Or.
The four players in the midfield were Ribery, Harvey, Gerrard and David Beckham. However, fans have raised objections to the choice of midfielders. The most debated point is Gerrard's position, and many believe that former Barca midfielder Iniesta should be included in the list more than he is. Because in terms of club and national team honors, Iniesta almost crushed Gerrard's existence, and in terms of personal data, the Spanish star is not inferior, why De Zhuan chose Gerrard instead of Iniesta, it is difficult to understand.
The two forwards were Selected by Henry and Lewandowski. These two players believe that without too much introduction, Henry, as a legendary striker in world football, has won countless golden boots, but he has not won the Ballon d'Or. Levan originally had the opportunity to win the cup last year, but due to the impact of the epidemic, French Football magazine cancelled the selection of the 2020 Ballon d'Or Award, and Levan lost the Ballon d'Or. This year, because of the team's poor honor, he lost to Messi and once again lost to the Golden Globe. After missing this opportunity to win the cup, Levan's career is probably difficult to have this award again, for him, this is undoubtedly a huge regret!
There are thousands of professional players, but there is only one Mr. Ballon d'Or every year. If you want to become the proud son of this heaven, you not only need to play well yourself, but also need the help of your teammates. I have to say that not winning the Golden Globe Award is indeed not only the reason for strength, sometimes luck is also a big factor!
