The list of the top ten international athletes in 2021, judged by the Sports Department of Xinhua News Agency, was officially announced, which covers football, table tennis, athletics, tennis and other fields, which shows that the competition is quite fierce. As a sport that is loved on a global scale, 2 people in the field of football have entered the list and rank very high. The first is Messi, the Argentine superstar, who has spent a year of great joy and sorrow in 2021. At club level, he was forced to leave his beloved Camp Nou due to Barca's financial woes.
However, in terms of honor and data, Messi ushered in a great harvest, with the wonderful performance in the Copa America, Messi led the Argentine team to win the championship trophy as an absolute core, and won the best player and golden boot award of the tournament. Under the blessing of these honors, Messi defeated Levine by a slight margin in the Golden Globe selection and successfully won the Golden Globe Award, achieving the unprecedented "7 golden pearls" for this award. And now in the annual list of the top ten international athletes, once again to win the top position, but also once again proved that Messi in 2021 for the world football dominance.
Another football superstar on the list is Levan who lost to Messi in the Golden Ball selection, but because other fields are also frequent gods, Levan slipped to 4th in the list rated by the Sports Department of Xinhua News Agency. In contrast, Jorginho, another favourite for the Ballon d'Or at the time, was much more embarrassing, because the Chelsea midfielder, who won the European Cup and Champions League trophies, did not make it into the top ten of the list. It can be seen that measuring a player's strength and performance is not simply based on the championship trophy or on-field goal data. Although in 2021, Jorginho will far surpass Messi and Levan in terms of championship trophies, it is difficult to compete with Messi and Levan due to insufficient core status, unshot data, and falling off the chain at the key moment of the championship.
In addition to Jorginho, another more embarrassing football superstar is C Ronaldo, after missing the Golden Globe Award, the president was quite unconvinced, and also liked a post about fans shouting injustice for themselves. However, it can be seen from the list of the top ten international athletes of the year that although there is no doubt about the historical status, President Luo, who is almost interesting in terms of goal data and championship honor this year, really has no way to compete with Messi and Levan for a number of annual awards.
