Beijing time last night, FIFA officially confirmed the final shortlist of the world's best in 2021, with 3 people shortlisted, namely Messi, Levan, Salah, and C Ronaldo was not selected. According to the selection plan, one of the final three candidates will stand out to win the FIFA World Best of the Year, and FIFA will officially announce the final winner on January 17, when all the stars will appear at the award ceremony.
FIFA's 2021 Best of the Year selection will be based on the performance of players from October 8, 2020 to August 7, 2021, and the number of people participating in the voting is widely distributed, including coaches, captains, senior journalists of the world's national or regional teams, as well as fans registered on the FIFA official website, who vote for the best of the year. The World's Best of the Year 2020 was Levan, who won the Champions League with bayern with his outstanding individual performance, and finally pushed Ronaldo and Messi to win the cup.
Based on last season's performance, Messi will surpass Levan and Salah to win the world's best in 2021, because the FIFA annual best selection is closer to the Golden Globe award criteria, valuing the player's personal data and team honor, Messi's overall performance is still the best of the three. First, Messi scored 38 goals and assisted 18 times for the club between October 2020 and August 2021, and then scored 4 goals and assisted 5 times for Argentina in the Copa America. In one year, he scored a total of 42 goals and 23 assists at the national team and club, scored 65 goals alone, and won 2 championship trophies, including the Copa del Rey and the Copa America, of which the Copa America championship has a heavy weight and is a key factor for Messi to surpass Levan and Salah.
Levan is excellent in terms of personal data, but lacks international championships, last season continued to become the Bundesliga top scorer, scoring 48 goals and assisting 9 times for Bayern in all competitions, breaking the Bundesliga goal record in a single season, the Bundesliga 41 goals surpassed the legendary goalscorer Gad Müller, but unfortunately his Polish national team was sluggish, Bayern failed to defend the title in the Champions League, making Levan at a disadvantage in the selection of important awards.
Salah's performance last season was actually not very good, representing Liverpool in all competitions with only 31 goals and 6 assists in 48 games, and it was an accident to be able to squeeze C Ronaldo into the top three. However, Salah has been very crazy this season, representing Liverpool in the half season has been wild 23 goals and assists 9 times, he is expected to hit the 2022 Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Of the Year. Cristiano Ronaldo may continue to miss the Golden Globes and FIFA World Best of the Year, and may even miss out on the 2022 Qatar World Cup, because his club and national team are in trouble, and a crown is difficult to find.
