In Messi won the World Footballer of the Year again! After completing the unprecedented seven-star feat! Benzema began to voice his doubts and displeasures continuously.
In fact, it is normal for Benzema to be unconvinced, after all, from the comparison of the honors issued by Benzema, his performance in the club and the honors he won are indeed far more than Messi!
Benzema won the Champions League Golden Boot, La Liga Golden Boot, La Liga Championship and Champions League title this season! Generous portions! The point is that Benzema's performance is crucial. This performance and honor is placed in any World Cup year outside of the season properly won World Footballer of the Year! But, he came across the World Cup year.
That's why Benzema's explosive performance only came third in the selection! After Messi and Mbappe, Mbappe's club honors are the same as Messi's, and cannot be compared with Benzema. But Mbappe won him second place with his explosive World Cup performance, and if France wins, Mbappe is this year's world footballer of the year! And Benzema, because he is a "cancer" of France, directly did not even enter the national team.
Is the weight of the World Cup really that heavy? That's nature!
This can be seen in the ranking of spectators at global sports events. The World Cup ranks first with more than 3.7 billion! The Champions League is only about 2 billion, a huge gap, even inferior to the Tour de France and the European Cup. Of course, these events are among the top rankings.
Football is the world's No. 1 sport, and even the influential Olympics have to avoid three points. The Olympics are a comprehensive sporting event designed in a wide range of sports, but mostly niche events with a small audience. But because it is a contest between countries, these "unattended" projects still attract a large number of audiences.
To put it bluntly, just one sentence! National honor above all else!
The Champions League is the most competitive competition in football. Europe, the heart of the football world, is home to Europe's most powerful clubs, and almost all of the world's best players can play in the Champions League. In the eyes of some fans, the level of competition is everything.
But football can become the number one sport in the world, thanks to the promotion of football by the World Cup!
After all, clubs are commercial in nature and geographically limited. And the World Cup has a wide audience, from the qualifiers to the finals, almost most countries around the world!
The story of the country is much larger than the story of the club. From the impact of the Bernese miracle on the German nation. Brazil is known worldwide as the kingdom of football because of its three golden Hercules Cups! Pele and Maradona were named the king of the ball for their World Cup performance and honors!
My bland football story also began with the Korea-Japan World Cup in '02! The Chinese team reached the World Cup for the first time. This has also added countless fans to China. If it weren't for the World Cup, most of my friends around me might not have touched football, let alone liked it.
The World Cup is also more difficult to obtain than the Champions League. The World Cup is held every four years, and most players are lucky enough to play two or three times in their careers. A player of Giggs' level has never had a chance to compete in the World Cup in his career.
It is even more impossible to win the championship, except for the overall strength of the national team and the outstanding players cultivated by the development plan of previous decades. There are also many contingencies in the single-game elimination system in the World Cup knockout field, so it takes the support of a national power and some luck to win the championship!
The Champions League is a contest between clubs, and well-funded clubs can buy more good players to strengthen their strength. And the Champions League events that occur every year also increase the likelihood of players winning the Champions League.
In any way, the highest honor in the football world is only, and must be, the World Cup champion!
Returning to Messi, if Messi only follows Argentina to win the Hercules Cup, he will most likely lose to Mbappe in the selection. But Messi gave the ultimate personal heroism in the World Cup! As the absolute core, Argentina's spiritual and tactical leader has played all the matches and repeatedly saved Argentina in the face of adversity! It is the most wonderful World Cup performance since Ronaldo in 20 years! Even more classic, like a heroic epic!
So, Messi is a well-deserved world footballer of the year!
