World Player: Manuel Neuer or Ronaldo should be it – SPIEGEL ONLINE

Oliver Kahn was the best goalkeeper of his time, and he almost would have been rewarded with the title of World Player. In 2002, he landed the only reason behind Ronaldo in second place, because he Kahn, the World Cup final with the German national team 0: 2 lost against Brazil. Scored twice. Ronaldo

Even Manuel Neuer is the best goalkeeper of his time. And in his case there is no argument for withholding him the World Player title. New has significantly contributed to Germany became world champion last summer, including through victories against teams of Neuer’s competitors for the award. Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal and Lionel Messi’s Argentina

Of course, these two candidates Report for good reasons claims to the title of World Player of. Among other things, because they are the best footballer in the world, and has been for a while. But that’s not it at the Fifa freestyle. It’s about who has shaped the year. Who made 2014 his year. Who had the greatest success. These were not Ronaldo and Messi was new, world champion goalkeeper. That it has not been enough for New with Bayern to victory in the Champions League, in the face of Triumph neglecting the World tournament in Brazil.

The World Cup success of the German team was a team effort , No player stood out, unlike 2002, when the finals was mainly due to Kahn’s parades. But the most consistent German in Brazil, the best, the one from where most actions are remembered – it was New

As the DFB team for the only time in the whole tournament was threatened from, in the second round. against Algeria, played on New large and showed the most memorable individual performance of a German international long time. In the quarter-final against France, he parried in the final minutes against Karim Benzema with a reflex, such as only new in the program has, as he quickly pulled up the arm. Against Brazil, New prevented further consolation goal for the visitors – and in the final he had with his rabid against Gonzalo Higuain use fortunate that there was no penalty. Fortunately, the Kahn 2002, no.

2014 was a new year, because the German has lifted the goalkeeper game before the eyes of the world to a new level. With his acts between the posts, but especially with his excursions almost to the center line, which act only dangerous at first glance. In truth, they are executed with the utmost accuracy. New able to rely on his skills. He has the game changed more in his position, as it Messi or Ronaldo ever could. The choice of World Footballer would be the just reward for the revolutionary with gloves.

It was a typical Cristiano Ronaldo scene with which he is again much has broken. As the Champions League final against Atlético Madrid was decided long ago, Ronaldo converted a penalty. He would then be able to grin, a fist or make the saw. But no, it had to be embarrassed again.

So Ronaldo ran to the corner flag, ripped off on the way the shirt from his body and made right in front of the cameras shirtless the Hulk Balotelli pose. The Portuguese cheered when he had just shot Real Madrid to victory. But it was only a penalty in the final minute to 4: 1 draw. The gate was could not care less, only for Ronaldo not.

There are those scenes that remain by the Portuguese from the past year are liable – and that’s a shame. For 2014, gave the world a better footballer Cristiano Ronaldo

38 goals and 16 templates in La Liga, 13 goals and 7 assists in the Champions League. That is the statistical work proof Ronaldo last year , Above all, Ronaldo Real has led to “La Décima”, the tenth title in the Champions League and European Cup of Champions on which the club has waited so eagerly twelve years. Now Ronaldo opponent might object: Real probably would have without the Portuguese won in the finals because he played weak against Atlético. Right. But without Ronaldo Real would not even come to the final

Have you ever seen this pass to Fábio Coentrao past three Bayern players who ultimately to the gate and so on. 1: 0 victory in the semi-final -Hinspiel the Champions League led? Do you remember who the 4: 0 in the second leg initiated the attack that led to the first goal and hit three and four scored yourself? Of Ronaldo’s goals and assists against Arsenal and Chelsea in the quarter and second round to mention.

In Spain Real went into this season as the leader in the Christmas break. From Madrid had won 15 games and scored 55 goals in the process 13. 25 goals and 11 assists came from Ronaldo, who is well on its way to break Lionel Messi’s record of 50 league goals in a season. Ronaldo is better, more prolific from year to year.

Safe: Manuel Neuer, Ronaldo’s only serious rival, because Messi may have against both no chance to become world champion. And he had a great share in the title of the German team. But otherwise? Were the champions Bayern, Cup Winners Cup and have played this season an outstanding season so far. But all this does not – with all due respect to the current best goalkeeper in the world – because New. Nationally, the Munich no serious competition. And they are internationally kicked against Real.

The World Cup speaks for new, year for Ronaldo. And in Zurich is not the soccer World Cup excellent, but the player of the year.
