FIFA on (Massey) 11.01.2011

While "France Football and FIFA gave separate awards for best player of the year, things seemed clear. In fact, the football plant rediscovered in 1991 what the version of World magazine France Football "was invented in 1956 as a poll for best footballer in Europe.

The significance of the poll of the magazine is immeasurably greater. The very fact of remembering all the trophy winners, starting from the first - Sir Stanley Metyus. While the first in a poll by FIFA in 1991 Lothar Matthäus ... remember that he took the Golden Ball in 1990.

And because every year in the thrills of the first FIFA pale in comparison to those of the holder of the trophy from France Football "from headquarters decided to put his hand on the velvet votes. Omesiha and fuzzy things a tradition. Namely vote to be only by journalists. Were added coaches and captains of national teams.

And get a dish of grapes. Let's open a parenthesis. Our coaches and players are also trying to imply that the Bulgarian award for player of the year designated by them after the end of each season is more "valuable" than the older, defined by journalists.

But how many times coaches and players themselves are reluctant open nervousness and boycott their names because they were not even in journalism poll at the end of the year. And the other has some consolation. And no one get mad if it is among the winners or not. Again, remember and weighs a lot more old journalistic inquiry than the new coaches and players. Unless they take an example from FIFA and to merge the two awards ...

Going back to the 2010 prize, which here edTuck will be no prize at the FIFA Golden Ball. And after the 1956 vote so far for that "Golden Ball" was the only journalists, now include coaches and captains of national teams. Selecting a player Lionel Messi of 2010 is a big slap for world champion Spain.

The choice should be based not on who the best player in the world now, and what success has made a player of the year. If the best, then in the next five or six years, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have to "Menke" the first place. What Messi deserved success as first place last year? By eliminating the semifinals of the Champions League against Inter it? Or defeat of a 0:4 loss in the quarter of the world from Germany?

If the title with Barcelona because, by this logic Didier Drogba made double with Chelsea in England. As kotdivoaretsa that game and the World Cup, became the champion of Premier League and took starodavnata F.A Cup rather than the Carling Cup. In this here not to mention Wesley Sneijder, who unlike Messi has finals of World and treble with Inter. By winning the Champions League is a first for Inter from 1965 onwards.

And there is another possible view of things. Why "Golden Ball" had not gone to Diego Forlan? So he took himself literally fellow goalkeeper and field players Muslera Suarez, Cavani, Abreu and Co. to the semifinals. Something raunchy world champion Uruguay was not felt in 1970 when he was fourth. And since then is still in mimansa and as tastes World Cup this year after legendary play-offs.

But even when Forlan honored as the best player of World Cup bis almost clear that there will be otsviren for first place in the mixed profile now. Not to mention that Forlan win Atletico (Madrid) and the first edition of the Europa League and Super Cup in Monaco against the winner of Inter treble. In general, if Forlan had taken the Ballon d'Or, he would repeat our somewhat Hristo Stoichkov. In Itso also weighed fourth place with Bulgaria.

Even the dagger in that 1994 final loss to Barcelona to AC Milan in Athens with explicit 0:4. But unlike Messi had reached the finals, not the semifinals. Why Messi award means a slap to Spain? For another copy of "Golden Ball" which is broadcast by a Spanish team is a stranger. Solitary exception continues to make only Luis Suarez with the prize since 1960.

By selecting Messi voice was recognized that Xavi's, Iniest-and Pique's, your's and others amazing team of extremely well-lubricated screws world, but pale as individuals. Paradoxically, but I think the only ones in La Fourier are Carles Puyol of Barcelona and Iker Casillas of Real Madrid. But who would vote for a defender in the presence of a truly global midfielders like Xavi and Iniesta. Not to mention the goalkeeper. Again, the only exception remains the Lev Yashin award winner in 1963.
