Since 2008 no kicker was honored for world footballer who is not Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Title include in questionable Fifa election is not much. It is more about hype and popularity – this trophy has lost its appeal
What incredible balance in 2015. 25 goals in the league, eight Goals. seven cup matches and even nine goals in the Champions League. This man had a great share in the Super Year of FC Barcelona: Neymar
fully deserves the Brazilians among the top three players in the World Footballer choice – along with Lionel Messi. and Cristiano Ronaldo. And that is precisely the problem.
Since 2008, the two superstars share the most coveted individual trophy in football behaved among themselves. 2008 2013 and 2014 the golden football went to Ronaldo, between 2009 and 2012 got Messi the trophy. And this time?
Kaka won the 2007 trophy
Actually, only arises the question of whether Messi wins for the fifth time or whether Ronaldo will be honored for the third time in a row, the best footballer in the world , Neymar? Never!
The hype surrounding Ronaldo and Messi has grown steadily in recent years. . The Ballon d’Or award has become the great spectacle – a display of superstars
Just recently said Ronaldo about himself: “I was born to be the best. So I am, and if all my successes in football are due to the fact I would not change anything. “
No chance against Messi and Ronaldo
such statements is Ronaldo on everyone’s lips. The need also to win the title of World Player.
For National coaches and captains of all 209 FIFA member countries are entitled to vote. So also from Barbados, Mauritania, or the Turks and Caicos. That there easily reach the ever successful Messi or promotional face Ronaldo votes, is clear.
By 2008 everything looked different. Until then, a successful performance in the election was coupled World Footballer of great achievements -. About at World Championships or the Champions League
coupling of the prize to the World Cup
1994 won Romario from newly crowned world champions Brazil, four years later was champion Zinedine Zidane the winner in 2002 Ronaldo was crowned World Champion from Brazil, in 2006 managed Italians Fabio Cannavaro. 2007 Kaka won with AC Milan the Champions League and was subsequently awarded in Zurich
Then came Ronaldo and Messi -.. And the existing rules were overridden
The services of the two multiple World Footballer are undoubtedly outstanding. In calendar 2015, Messi has scored 37 league goals. Ronaldo met with 16 Champions Legaue gates again extremely often. And yet: the perennial race between these two is boring. The choice has lost its charm. Because now it’s more about popularity and less about titles
Hardly win opportunities for German soccer
The biggest problem:. One end of the Messironaldodominanz is not in sight. Lothar Matthäus, the only German winner in history, said the “Sport-Bild”: “As long as Ronaldo and Messi to play at this level, it is still difficult for a German player to be World Footballer.”
For Neymar, it is (still) impossible to get at the two multiple World Footballer. It is the Brazilian the only one who can keep up in terms of popularity.
54 million Facebook fans are in comparison to Messi (82) and Ronaldo (108) a joke – and yet Neymar Fanzahl almost five times as high as Thomas Müller.
