After Messi won the Ballon d'Or and became the "Mr. 7 Gold" who was difficult to come after the ancients, some fans cried out for Levan, and even some fans devalued the Ballon d'Or as a "water polo award" to express their dissatisfaction with Messi's election. And this topic about who is the best player in world football in the past period of time, with another major award, World Footballer of the Year, is about to be revealed, and there will undoubtedly be another "controversy". At present, the award has announced the final 3 candidates, in addition to Messi and Levan, this time it is most likely to come to be the "runner" is Liverpool's striker Salah. Compared with the Selection of the Ballon d'Or, Messi has 2 more advantages in the Footballer of the Year award.
The first is the fierce rival Levan, who is missing a sympathy point. Because the Golden Globe Awards canceled the 2020 selection, lewan, who had both god-level data and top honors, missed an opportunity to lift the Golden Globe Award without suspense. Because of this, in the 2021 selection, Levine, who lacks the blessing of top honors, has a voting reason to vote based on the situation in 2020. However, this sympathy score does not exist in the Footballer of the Year award, as Levan has already won the award in 2020.
Then Messi's second advantage over the Golden Globes selection is the timing of the selection. Compared to the Ballon d'Or Awards, which end voting at the end of October and use the calendar year of 2021 as a reference time, The World Footballer of the Year is clear that it is a reference to the candidate's performance from October 8, 2020 to August 7, 2021. In this way, messi's bad data after joining Paris will be completely out of the reference time frame. So in terms of judging time, the World Footballer of the Year award will obviously be more friendly to Messi. However, although Messido has 2 major advantages, Levan is not without good prospects, among which Salah's selection has sent him good news.
If you strictly follow the reference time given by Mr. Footballer, then Salah is missing the top 3 capital, and he has no particularly outstanding place in terms of data or honor during that time. Obviously, Salah was selected in large part because voters were shocked by his rampage in the new season. Just over halfway through the Premier League, Salah has scored as many as 16 goals and nine assists. So Salah is in the top 3, proving that the rules are one thing, but the subjective impression is difficult to eliminate. In this way, it will undoubtedly be good for Levan to defeat Messi, because so far in the new season, the data of "Mr. 7 Gold" in 11 games in Ligue 1 and 1 goal is really too bad.
