The FIFA World Footballer of the Year Award, which was selected by FIFA, revealed the 2021 winner, the divine front from Bayern, Levan, who lifted the cup and successfully achieved a consecutive victory for the award. For this result, I believe that some fans will feel incredible, because compared with the Ballon d'Or award, Messi will actually have a more advantage in the Footballer of the Year award. The first is the reference time of the selection, unlike the Golden Globe Awards, which are judged according to the annual performance of 2021, and the Voting Man of the Year selection rules clearly indicate that the selection is based on the season, and the reference time is from October 8, 2020 to August 7, 2021.
That is to say, Messi's sluggish performance in Paris will be included in the Ballon d'Or selection, but Mr. Football will not, so compared to the previous award, Levan actually suffered more in the latter award. Then Levan's second biggest disadvantage is that there is no emotional point. To know that when selecting the Golden Globe Awards, one of the reasons for voting levan is that the cancelled 2020 Ballon d'Or Awards, Levan should have been without suspense, so in the 2021 selection, the performance of the previous year should also be included in the reference.
In the International Footballer of the Year award, Levan undoubtedly lost this sentiment point, because Bayern Shenfeng has already won the award in 2020. Therefore, Levan, who is trapped in these 2 major disadvantages, can still beat Messi in the Footballer of the Year selection, which will undoubtedly make the Ballon d'Or very embarrassing, and if you look carefully at the composition of the vote, it will be even more embarrassing. From the voting details released by FIFA, it can be seen that Levan has an absolute advantage in the voting of the head coach and the captains of the national teams. There were 76 managers and 82 captains who gave the first vote to Levan, while Messi had only 32 and 39 votes, respectively. That is to say, in these football insider votes, Levan beat Messi strongly with a huge advantage of 158 to 71.
However, in terms of fan voting, Levan suffered a crushing defeat, he only scored 353714 points in this regard, while Messi scored 708206 points. This led to the final combined score, with Levan winning the Footballer of the Year award with only a 4-point advantage. Although there will be some fans who know the ball very well, compared with the head coach and captain of the national team, there will obviously be a big gap in professionalism. Therefore, Levan, who has 2 major disadvantages, successfully connected to the fact that Mr. Footballer Zhuang, coupled with the composition of the votes of both sides, will undoubtedly put the Ballon d'Or into a rather embarrassing situation.
