Although he missed this year's Ballon d'Or, Bayern centre-forward Lewandowski's overall performance in 2021 is there for all to see! Recently, the results of the 2021 Player of the Year (also known as the "one-man" version of the Ballon d'Or) organized by the Turin Sport newspaper were released, and Levan beat Messi to be successfully elected - this is Levan's second award after 2020.
In fact, unlike "French Football" when selecting the Ballon d'Or, casting a wide net in the voting, for example, there is news that a reporter from Uzbekistan actually mistakenly believes that Levan is a German player, and the best player selection of Turin Sport is to focus on inviting retired legends to vote, such as Shevchenko, Mateus, Nedved, Eto'o, van der Sar and other celebrities who served as judges this year.
It can be seen that the judges invited by the Turin Sports Newspaper are more professional, which in turn makes Levan's award more valuable. In this regard, although Levan did not attend the award ceremony on the spot, he made it clear on video: "I regret that I can't come to the scene today, but I am glad that these football legends will vote for me." I am delighted to receive the Golden Globe Award for the second consecutive year in Turin Sport and thank the excellent jury for recognizing my achievements. ”
Earlier, Levan said unreservedly in an interview with Turin Sport: "Player of the Year is not a consolation award, but an important recognition." These legendary players are familiar with the realities of football, the votes they cast are precious and I am glad they chose me and their judgment is reliable and objective. It is not difficult to see that Levan's speech is slightly ironic about the Golden Globes.
In addition, Levan expressed his gratitude through social media after winning the award: "Thank you to all the fans around the world who supported me. I would also like to thank my colleagues at the Polish national team and FC Bayern Munich, without whom this award would not have belonged to me. Finally, I would also like to give a special thanks to my family, who are the cornerstone of everything I have achieved, and for your great support for me! ”
It should be noted that when talking about his next goal, Levan made it clear that "I want to win the Bundesliga and the Champions League. Just like every season, I want to win as many victories as possible and finish as many goals as possible. ”
Of course, Levan didn't just say that, he did it! Shortly after winning the award, Levan continued to prove himself on the field. In the 16th round of the Bundesliga this week, Levan scored twice in Bayern's match against Stuttgart, not only leading the team to a 5-0 victory, but also continuing to lead the european Golden Boot list this season with 18 goals.
Not only that, according to the statistics of the data website, Levan has completed 42 Bundesliga goals this year, thus equaling the record of 42 Bundesliga goals in the natural year held by Gad Müller. At the same time, Levan scored a total of 68 goals this year, only one goal away from Ronaldo's record of the most goals scored in a natural year. Currently, Bayern have one last game in the Bundesliga this season against Wolfsburg. Facing this opponent who was once the "95 Supreme", Levan has every chance to break more records.
As for the competition for the Golden Boot this season, Levan's current advantage is not obvious. Serie A-based fior Vlahović has scored 15 goals (including as many as five penalties) this season, trailing Levan in the Golden Boot list. Don't forget, Serie A has 4 more rounds of games than the Bundesliga in a single season, and the "Intention Point" league is always conducive to players to brush the data, it is not difficult to see that Levan really needs to work harder to defend the European Golden Boot this season!
Finally, players competing for the European Golden Boot this season include Liverpool's Salah (14 goals), Bayer Leverkusen's Shirk (14 goals), Real Madrid's Benzema (13 goals), Lazio's Immobile (13 goals) and so on. As for 2021 Ballon d'Or winner Messi, he has only scored 1 goal in Ligue 1 this season...
