On January 17, Beijing time, the FIFA annual award ceremony, the 2021 World Footballer of the Year will be announced.
As the two most authoritative awards of the world's individual world best awards, the Golden Ball Awards selected by French Football and the World Footballer of the Year awarded by FIFA are also the same. In 2009, the trend of "unique double pride" in the football world of Messi and C Ronaldo was initially formed, and the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year were combined into one, led by FIFA. In 2016, the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year were split in two.
Ballon d'Or, World Footballer of the Year, who has more weight and who is more authoritative? It's hard to say for sure, France Football's Ballon d'Or has a longer history and FIFA's World Player of the Year host is bigger. One thing is for sure: whichever one you get, it's all cattle people!
Before 2007, the Same Year's Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year were often not the same person, such as the 2004 Ballon d'Or was Shevchenko, and the World Footballer of the Year was Ronaldinho.
In 2008, C Ronaldo, like Kaka in 2007, won the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year. In 2009, Messi only won one Ballon d'Or, which was actually equivalent to winning, because the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year were combined. In 2016, the Ballon d'Or and Footballer of the Year split up again, and C Luo won it again. In 2019, Messi, who won the Ballon d'Or and the two trophies of the World Footballer of the Year, can be regarded as a real realization.
In 2020, Levan was expected to continue to win, but the Ballon d'Or organizers cancelled the selection, and Levan only got a World Footballer of the Year. If not cancelled, there is no controversy that the 2020 Ballon d'Or awards will be given to Levine. The 2020 European Championship was postponed, there was no competition at the national team level, the club Levan won the full crown with Bayern, and he was also the Bundesliga Golden Boot, the European Golden Boot, the Champions League Golden Boot, and the true "first person in football".
But to give Levan a supplement, it is not reasonable. Gbagbo Sports learned that when "French Football" made the decision to cancel the 2020 Ballon d'Or Awards, the five major leagues were not over, and the Champions League quarter-finals had not yet been played, Levan's most stable at that time was none other than the Bundesliga champions and bundesliga golden boots, Messi also had the possibility of winning the league and the Champions League double with Barca, and Neymar and Mbappe were also possible.
The 2021 Ballon d'Or to Messi is controversial, and in fact not controversial. Speaking of controversy, it is nothing more than a combination of the performances of 2020 and 2021, Levan is definitely stronger than Messi, and the goal statistics for the 2021 and 2021-22 seasons are also far ahead. But the People's Ballon d'Or awards are the best of the year, the 2021-22 season of data reference value is not large, in 2021 Levan only has the Bundesliga champions and Bundesliga, European Golden Boots, Messi has the Copa del Rey championship, La Liga Golden Boot and the National Team level Copa America champions, comprehensive personal performance and club, national team honors, the 2021 Ballon d'Or Awards to Messi is also deserved.
So, will the 2021 Ballon d'Or continue to give Messi, or will it be given to Levan?
Unlike the final 30-man roster for the Ballon d'Or, the World Footballer of the Year was shortlisted for three: Levan, Messi and Salah.
Of the three, Salah was supposed to pull aside. Gbagbo Sport (High-Water-Position 1.97) In the 2020-21 season, Salah was empty in the Liverpool season, the Premier League Golden Boot was also inferior to Kane, and in the 2021-22 season, Salah's goal statistics were no match for Levan, and Liverpool's record in league, Champions League and domestic cup matches was not as good as Bayern.
If the criteria for voting World Footballer of the Year are the same as those for the Ballon d'Or, Then Levan may still not be able to compete with Messi. If you take into account the performance so far in the 2021-22 season, Levan will undoubtedly beat Messi. Levan has played 25 games for Bayern this season, contributing 29 goals and three assists, unrivalled in the five major leagues. Messi has scored 6 goals and 4 assists in 16 games in Paris this season, and there are many people ahead of him.
Since FIFA has decided to separate the world footballer of the year from the Ballon d'Or, it must have its own considerations, and it must be a little different from the Ballon d'Or. Then the 2021 World Footballer of the Year selection, whether it is authoritative or to find a balance, Levan may beat Messi to be elected.
