The 2021 World Footballer of the Year will be announced in the early morning of Beijing time tomorrow, and Messi, Lewandowski and Salah are the three candidates. Germany's Sky Sports wrote an article for Levan, listing why he should be elected.
Selection Rules
The Ballon d'Or awards are limited to journalists, while the World Footballer of the Year is voted on by the captains, coaches, media representatives and fans of each national team, with each of the four categories voting in a quarter.
Some journalists ignored Levan at the Golden Globes, but with the diversity of the voting crowd of world footballers, those journalists will no longer be so important.
Historic achievement
Levan achieved historic feats that neither Messi nor Salah could have achieved in the 20/21 season, breaking the Bundesliga season scoring record set by Gaid Müller with 41 goals, which has been considered unsurpassable in the last few decades. Levan became the second player in history to reach the Bundesliga 300-goal milestone last week, and he (though this is not within the voting deadline) continues to chase Gad Müller's Bundesliga goals (365 goals).
Goal statistics
Lewandowski's data, which Messi and Salah could not match, could be listed almost arbitrarily. During the Mr. of the World Footballer of the Year reference period (8 October 2020 to 7 August 2021), Levan scored a total of 51 goals for club and national teams, messi 43 and Salah 28.
Throughout the natural year of 2021, Levan's advantage is even more pronounced, he is the top scorer of the year in the five major leagues. In 45 games in all competitions (league, cup, national team matches), he scored 56 goals. Salah finished fifth with 37 goals in 53 games. Messi is only seventh with 34 goals in 45 games, and they are simply not enough to threaten Levan.
Reached six crowns
Levan scored two key goals in the Club World Cup and eventually helped Bayern win the title and complete the club's six-time crown feat. Previously, only Messi and Barca had done so in 2009. Levan was also voted the best player in the Club World Cup.
Defending the title
Last but not least, Levan is the defender of the World Footballer of the Year. The challenger deserves to do more and be more dominant than the defender to get more votes in the final selection, and it's clear that the others aren't more dominant than Levan.
12-month hurricane > 4 weeks of breezes
Salah's great season at Liverpool was also no better than That of Levan and Messi. We should give Messi the respect he deserves for leading Argentina to the Copa America, but in the 12-month battle, the 4-week strong performance was just a breeze. During the year, Levan swept through the stadiums like a hurricane and wrote several historical records. Therefore, he will inevitably win the World Footballer of the Year for the second consecutive year. Any other candidate would be a serious miscalculation.
