Beijing time, January 17: Tomorrow at 2 a.m., this year's FIFA Best Player, the so-called World Footballer of the Year Award Ceremony, will be held as scheduled. The top three players who made it into the top three this year are Liverpool striker Salah, Greater Paris striker Lionel Messi and Bayern Munich star Lewandowski. Within the scope of the selection, the performance of these three players is indeed very good.
All three of them also have their own reasons for entering the top three, but as things stand, Messi will most likely win the 7th World Footballer of the Year trophy of his career. After all, on the selection date, it happens to be the peak of Messi's honor. At that time, the Argentine star had just led the Argentine national team to end the embarrassing record of 28 consecutive years without a championship in the tournament, and he also won the best player in the Copa America, the Copa America Golden Boot and the Copa America assists. At club level, Messi also holds the Copa del Rey and the Golden Boot of La Liga, and with the blessing of so many honors, Messi has no doubt about winning the World Footballer of the Year.
At the same time, it is worth noting that the selection process of The World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or is not very similar, and the Ballon d'Or is voted by journalists from more than 170 countries around the world. But FIFA Footballer of the Year is more focused on the national team coaches as well as the votes of those national team captains. As a matter of experience, these managers and captains prefer players who are more famous, and generally they will vote more for the players they remember as performing well. Therefore, Messi has more advantages in the competition between these three people, and Luo Ming, the only voting judge of the Golden Ball Awards in China, once explained that Messi has a greater probability of winning the World Footballer of the Year than the Golden Globe Award.
So it's only a matter of time before Boss May wins the 7th World Footballer of the Year, and for Messi this year it seems that he has not yet made a difference, but whether it is the big Paris club or the Argentine national team, Messi only needs to slowly exert his strength, and he can get what he wants. In Paris, they played Ligue 1 very easily, and domestic competitions were also dominant. As long as they give their all in the Champions League, then their results will not be bad, and Messi's honors will not be bad.
As for the Argentine national team, the new Pampas Eagles, which have always had Messi at their core, have taken off. Under the tutelage of Scaloni, their combat effectiveness is also the strongest in recent years. At the same time, they have locked in the tickets for the Qatar World Cup early, just wait until the end of the year, Messi and his teammates to attack the World Cup together. For Messi, the Champions League and the World Cup are the stages where he should shine, and in other ways, The Boss Mei seems to be a bit Buddhist.
It has to be said that Messi is much better at the end of his career than his old rival C Ronaldo. At this time, Ronaldo was still busy with the anxiety of manchester United clubs, and the team performed badly in the league. Even next season's Champions League can't be played.
In addition, the Portuguese national team led by Cristiano Ronaldo accidentally fell into the play-offs. In what can be called a death group competition, Portugal may not even be able to go to the Qatar World Cup. Therefore, the situation at the end of C Ronaldo's career is still quite bad, at least compared with Messi. What do you think of the encounter between the two at the end of their careers?
