In January 2022, the winter window of the five major leagues has been open for some time, this time the winter window is not particularly lively, and FIFA's annual awards ceremony is more eye-catching. In the early morning of January 18, Beijing time, FIFA officially announced the confirmation of major awards, confirming that Levan won the double best of the past year, including winning the Player of the Year award and being selected for the best team of the year.
First of all, the Player of the Year Award is FIFA's most important player award, Levan surpassed Messi to win the award without being particularly optimistic, which is a big counterattack, on the one hand, Levan has lost to Messi in the Ballon d'Or award, on the other hand, Levan does not have any international awards in 2021, which is very different from the 2020 Champions League title and the FIFA Player of the Year Award, Messi continues to be the favorite, because he led the team to win the Copa America in 2021. At the same time, he maintained an excellent personal position, only lagging behind Levan in data.
With FIFA's voting for the best of the year only opened at the end of 2021, Levan's performance this season became the key to counterattack, and into the 2021/22 season, Levan represented Bayern Munich in 27 games and scored 34 goals and 3 assists, maintaining the status of the world's number one striker and leading the European Golden Boot list. Messi was also suppressed because of his performance this season, after moving to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2021, his form fell off a cliff, representing Greater Paris in Ligue 1 only scored 1 goal, and now the Ligue 1 schedule is more than halfway through, directly affecting his score in the FIFA Annual Best voting.
According to the history of the Golden Ball Award and the FIFA Player of the Year Award, Messi almost replicated the trajectory of C Ronaldo, who led Portugal to the European Cup in 2016, and then directly won the FIFA Player of the Year Award and the Golden Ball Award of the year; if Messi maintains the same stable and outstanding state as Levan this season, he can also win the Copa America Championship trophy, and then win the FIFA Player of the Year Award and the Ballon d'Or, but unfortunately because of the avalanche of league status, he only won the Golden Ball Award.
In terms of the best team, Levan, along with Messi, C Ronaldo and Haaland, won the four best strikers in the FIFA team of the year, the three bests in the midfield were Jorginho, De Bruyne and Kante; the three bests in the defender line, namely Arabba, Ruben Díaz, Bonucci, and goalkeeper Donnarumma. Mbappe and Salah and others lost the best team, and this time the 334 best team selection also caused some controversy, among which the best configuration of 334, The selection of Arabba, and salah's defeat are all puzzling. In addition, FIFA officially confirmed that Ronaldo won the special award for male football players, because C Ronaldo broke the national team goal record held by Ali Dei, Ali Dei scored 109 national team goals, which is the original national team historical goal record holder, C Ronaldo scored 115 national team goals, breaking this record.
