According to a report on December 20, Messi, who has received a lot of glory this year, has won three more awards. Messi has already won the Ballon d'Or, World Footballer, Laureus Best Male Athlete and many other awards this year, and this time he won the Argentine Player of the Year and Argentine Athlete of the Year, as well as the Player of the Year voted by Goal.com.
This is the 16th time in Messi's career that he has won the Argentine Player of the Year award, which he has won since 2005 and has not won three times, in 2006, 2014 and 2018. It's all World Cup years. It can be seen that the Argentines are harsh on Messi, if he does not win the World Cup, it will be difficult for Messi to win the award. In 2014, Messi had a World Cup runner-up and a World Cup Golden Ball, and as a result, Argentina gave Di Maria the best player in the country. To Veron in 2006 and River Plate player Gonzalo Martinez in 2018 – how could this player beat Messi in 2018 to win the award?
In addition to the best Argentine player, Messi also won the best Argentine athlete, but he was not the only winner, and he was tied for the award by Argentine female track and field athlete Caserta. The best athlete in Argentina, also known as the Olympia Gold Medal, is the most important award in Argentine sports, and the best of all 47 sports firsts are voted for by the best in all 47 sports. This year it's Messi. This is only the fourth time Messi has won the award, and the number is even less than that of the Ballon d'Or (8) and World Footballer of the Year (7).
