The belated results of the 2021 World Footballer of the Year were announced, and Poland striker Levan, who plays for Bayern, was re-elected World Footballer of the Year 2021 after being named World Footballer of the Year 2020. The UEFA has twice awarded the World Footballer of the Year to Levan, which is a recognition of Levan's achievements in these two years. Compared with the 2021 Golden Globe Awards, the results of the World Footballer of the Year seem to be more recognized by everyone.
Unlike the voting rules of the Golden Globe Awards, which favor the attitude of well-known football journalists in various countries, the selection of World Footballer of the Year will comprehensively consider the attitudes of the head coach and captain of the national teams, authoritative media and fans of various countries. In this selection, although the fans voted for this one, Lewan had only half of Messi's votes, but in the other three votes, it had an overwhelming advantage over Messi, and in the end, Levan won by a slight margin of 48 points to 44 points.
Compared with the data of Levan and Messi, Levan's annual 69 goals are proud, but unfortunately only one Bundesliga champion is leaning over; Messi, as the absolute core of the Argentine national team, led the Argentine national team to win the Copa America, but the honor of the club competition is lackluster. The strengths and weaknesses of the two are very obvious, the World Footballer of the Year at the beginning of the selection, the main competition revolves around Levan and Messi, and finally Levan has won wide recognition from professionals in the football industry with these two years of phenomenal play.
The UEFA awarded the World Footballer of the Year to Levan, which is also a consolation to those who have been upset with Levan before. After the 2021 Ballon d'Or award, many people complained about Levan because "French Football" owed Levan a Ballon d'Or. In the 2019-2020 season, Levan and Bayern were unstoppable, winning the Bundesliga title, the German Cup and the Champions League triple crown at the club level, while he himself won all the golden boots of the club's competitions.
Originally, with Lewan's outstanding results, the Ballon d'Or should have been awarded to him, but unfortunately in 2020, "French Football" announced the cancellation of the Ballon d'Or award. Fortunately, the World Football Federation later awarded the World Footballer of the Year to Levan, recognizing his efforts and achievements. In the 2021 Ballon d'Or Awards, Messi narrowly defeated Levan, and when receiving the award, Messi said that "French Football" should reissue a Ballon d'Or to Levan.
Later, Levan publicly responded to what Messi said, saying that he hoped that what Messi said was true, but Messi did not vote for Levan during the selection of The World Footballer of the Year, and the more embarrassing thing was that Levan's second choice was to vote for Messi. According to the Spanish media "As" newspaper, the world footballer of the year selection, Messi voted for Neymar, Mbappe, Benzema, lewan respectively to Giogenho, Messi, C Ronaldo.
At Bayern's press conference, a reporter asked Levan what he thought of Messi not voting for you, and Levan said: Messi's words at the Golden Globe award ceremony were very friendly, but now his choice is not me, so you can ask Messi why he did not vote for me. I showed respect for Messi's choice, there was no need for me to be angry about it, I voted for Messi with my second pick.
Levan's three players are still more objective, Jorginho won the European Championship and the Champions League in 2021, two gold-laden trophies, Messi won the Copa America, and Cristiano's personal data is also good. Messi's three players, Mbappe and Benzema, did perform well, but the data of the two is still worse than Levan, as for what Neymar has to offer, it is messi's vote, if there is, it is his personal relationship with Messi.
For the voting event, fans have expressed their support for Levan, and praised Levan's pattern is large, Messi's pattern is too small. Levan votes in good conscience, and Messi votes on personal feelings. If messi's words at the Golden Globes are linked to his current voting behavior, then Messi is suspected of duplicity. Originally, many people had doubts about the Award of the Ballon d'Or to Messi, and now Messi has made such a play, which is bound to affect his reputation in the hearts of fans, and hopes that Messi can stand up and respond to this voting event.
