Individual rewards in football are inherently stupid and meaningless. FIFA's first individual prize was made even more stupid and less meaningful after French Football have taken over ownership of the prestigious Golden Ball, leading FIFA to invent their own "The Best", which people care less about. The winner of this edition of "The Best" is Luka Modrić, who, even though he is stupid and meaningless, is to say the least cute.
Modrić is probably just as "deserving" a winner of this stupid little trophy as the other hopefuls, the two other finalists being the Egyptian star of Liverpool Mohamed Salah and the Juventus Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo. Modrić contributed to Croatia's victory in the World Cup final and won the Champions League last season with Real Madrid. He is a great player, seems to be a cool guy, and has delivered an acceptance speech filled with genuine emotion and charm to distract the attention from the most insignificant and loaded words of platitude. the little guy who looks like a particularly ugly member of the Beatles said. You can be perfectly cynical about the prize itself and always be happy for the guy.
Today's victory is a bit like a career award for Modrić, who has quietly emerged as the best midfielder in the world in recent years, as well as the fact that winning individual Cup awards of the world is the biggest name the public can very easily distinguish themselves as the most important player of any of the teams that have really progressed in this summer tournament. The French team, winner of the World Cup, suffered because it was too good, too well balanced and too young to produce a candidate who met these vague criteria.
It could be argued that the historic season of Mohamed Salah in Liverpool has better validated his recognition, or that the absence of Barcelona striker Lionel Messi on the list of finalists after scoring more goals in Europe, has won two major trophies . For a good decade, the best indisputable player in the world has invalidated all the existence of the price, but doing so would be confusing what is the price, which is nothing else than that. ###################################################################### 39, a little gem. Salah's season and Messi's career are bigger and better than "The Best", and no interest in making or awarding prizes can change that fact.
The only real flight of the event was when Salah won the Puskás prize for the best goal of the year. In a season when Cristiano Ronaldo gave the best goal of his life and Ronaldo's frenzy, Gareth Bale, allowed him to get a goal that is arguably the most beautiful final of the Champions League. a cool thing but by no means breathtaking against fucking Everton is ridiculous In a sense, however, the very ridicule that gave Salah the best goal instead of Basel or Ronaldo or Pavard is quite worthy of the ridiculousness that makes FIFA's "Best" and the rest of these individual awards out of the ordinary – sure. In this spirit, we must thank FIFA for its work well done.
