On January 17, European local time (2:00 a.m. Beijing time on January 18), FIFA will officially announce the winners of various annual best awards, of which the most concerned is of course the World Footballer of the Year. Although the presence, gold content and popularity of Mr. World Footballer are not as good as those of the Ballon d'Or, after all, it is the official (FIFA) that can best represent world football, so it still has great influence. At present, FIFA has announced three final candidates, namely: Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi, European Golden Boot Levan and Liverpool boss Salah.

Among them, Messi is the biggest hit. There are many reasons for this. For example, in the past decade or so, although most of the judges are different, the Winners of the Ballon d'Or and The World Footballer of the Year do not merge. The second is that Messi's glory is enough, he has the Ballon d'Or, he has the Copa America, he took Argentina to advance to the World Cup, which is fully in line with the status of the world's first man.

Levan performed badly at the national team level: he was out of the european championship group stage and had to play well in the play-offs to reach the World Cup. Needless to say, Salah's Egypt only started playing in the Africa Cup of Nations in January, not to mention that the African Cup of Nations is far less expensive than the European Cup and the America's Cup.

Luo Ming, the only Chinese judge of the Golden Globe Awards, analyzed according to his experience, the probability of Messi locking in the world footballer is higher than that of the Golden Globe Award. After all, it is an award held by FIFA, and the voters also have the head coach and captain of the national team, so the reference value of the national team event is the greatest. So on January 16, the day before the world footballer of the year was announced, some German media said: Although Levan is strong, Messi may win!

On 15 January, Bayern beat Cologne 4–0, with Levan hat-tricking. After the game, Bayern coach Nagelsman supported his player Levan to get the World Footballer of the Year. As a stakeholder, the Bayern manager can certainly say this, but unfortunately it is not objective enough, and it is a bit different from the facts. As the microphone of Bayern's country where Levan plays, the German media has been supporting Levan since the Golden Globes. However, this time Messi has a huge advantage, and the German media can only admit it.

On January 16, a German media wrote an article analyzing the competitive capital of Messi and Levan. They certainly supported Levan, but expressed a lack of confidence in Levan's impact on World Footballer of the Year. The media said that Messi may beat Levan again to win, and in the previous Golden Globe Awards, Messi beat Levan to win. Last year, FIFA did not cancel the World Footballer of the Year, and Levan won the prize smoothly. This also caused Levan to lose the so-called sympathy score, and Messi's competitive advantage in the world footballer of the year was even more obvious.
