Almost every year the Golden Globe Awards are a huge controversy. This is actually easy to understand, everyone has a different interpretation of the rules of the selection, and they have their own best choices. But every controversy is a challenge to the authority of the Golden Globes, and the more controversy there is, the lower the authority. Therefore, the organizer can only continue to improve the rules and strive to be more fair and reasonable.
Earlier, the Golden Globes officially announced a major reform of the selection conditions, mainly in four points:
In terms of seasons, the time is no longer measured in calendar years;
Candidate Jury Expansion: Join Golden Globe Ambassador Drogba and the most insightful voters of the last year;
Only representatives of fifa's top 100 countries and territories are eligible to vote;
Explicit selection will first consider the individual performance of the player, removing the planning that takes into account the player's career.
Among the above 4 changes, the most noteworthy is point 4, because almost all the previous controversies have been based on this point. We know that in the previous Ballon d'Or selection rules, the first rule was the individual performance of the players this year and the achievements and honors of the teams they represented. This article combines the performance of individuals and teams, but it is difficult to achieve a convincing balance in the actual selection
For example, the most controversial 2013 Golden Globe Awards, Before the results came out, Ribery was the most vocal one. He followed Bayern to the Bundesliga, the German Cup, the Champions League, the Super Cup and the Club World Cup, five titles, and became a five-time champions team. Bayern was undoubtedly the most competitive team in Europe that year, and Ribery was the brightest star of this Bayern team, and he won almost all the honours at club level.
But in terms of personal data, Ronaldo is clearly superior. Ribery played in 54 games in 2013, scoring 23 goals and assisting 23 times, while Cristiano Ronaldo scored 69 goals and assisted 17 times in 59 games.
If it was from the team honor, Ribery deserved to take the ball of gold, because he was the best player in the best team that year. But if you look at personal data, Cristiano Ronaldo is clearly another level, averaging 1.46 goals per game, while Ribery averages less than 1 goal per game. Controversy arose, and Blatter, then president of FIFA, announced that the deadline for selection would be extended by 2 weeks, adding to the controversy.
However, if personal data is given priority according to the latest rules, then Ronaldo deserves to take the Golden Globe that year. In the same way, it would be more reasonable for Levan to take last year's Golden Globe if it follows the latest rules. In 2021, Levan scored 69 goals and assisted 11 times in 59 games in all competitions, which is close to Ronaldo's 2013 statistics. Messi, on the other hand, scored 41 goals and 17 assists in 57 games, a significant gap with Levan. But Messi won the team honor, he won his first national team competition championship and played a key role. Even so, controversy still exists, and many people are complaining for Levan.
After the reform of the Golden Globe Awards selection rules, the proportion of individual performance increased, which was actually in Lewan's favor. The wave striker is the "world's first striker" in today's football world, and after the rule change, his motivation to score goals will be more sufficient. So far, Levan has made 35 appearances in all competitions, scored 42 goals and assisted 4 times, and his goal efficiency is the highest in the five major leagues. In addition, the Polish national team does not have the strength to win the championship, and once it comes to the competition year, Levan will suffer even if he performs well.
In Messi's form this season, with 7 goals and 10 assists in 25 games, it will be unprecedented difficult to win the Golden Ball. However, some fans sighed after seeing the official rules of the Ballon d'Or: "If I had chosen this earlier, Messi would have had more than 7 Golden Balls." ”
Indeed, messi's performance over the past 15 years is shocking enough if we look primarily at personal data. Scoring 40+ in 10 seasons, 50+ in 6 seasons, 60+ in 2 seasons, 70+ in 1 season, in addition, assists are also in 15+, even 10+, such a stable and explosive performance is enough for him to compete for more Ballon d'Or.
