Why Messi?He didn't do anything in 2023. Listen to my analysis below, and you will suddenly be enlightened.
First, you need to identify a belief. The winner of this award must be Erling Haaland, and that's what everyone wants!So, why are the two Ligue 1 players, Messi and Mbappe, running along?
Clause. First, Messi was "rubbed" traffic.
Messi fans admit that we were really surprised to see the final three. After Messi won the World Cup, he could even be described as lying flat, he did not have a very outstanding performance in Ligue 1, and he went to the American Professional League to completely break away from the European arena of football.
But if UEFA wants to create a new star after Messi and Ronaldo, Messi, a superstar, must be compared to highlight Haaland's brilliance. (Why Messi and not Ronaldo?)Because the heat of the World Cup is still there)
Clause. Second, about Mbappe.
From the current world football perspective, Mbappe, Haaland, and Bellingham may become the top three in the world in some period of time, while Bellingham has just emerged, Mbappe has already become famous at a young age, and won the World Cup as the absolute main force. All I can say is that UEFA has found the right foil.
Clause. 3. Manchester City teammates.
As for why De Bruyne, Rodri and other Manchester City players did not make it into the top three?Let me ask you in turn, do you really want them to be selected with Haaland?At least UEFA doesn't think so, because they will split Haaland's ticket and there will be an uncontrollable situation. (PS: Strikers have an absolute advantage in the selection of individual awards).
If nothing else, the final ranking is Haaland, Mbappe and Messi, and Haaland is a far margin winner. It not only creates traffic topics, but also ensures the final result, UEFA can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and I have to accept it!
