The Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, the Belgians Eden Hazard and Kevin de Bruyne, the French Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappé and Raphaël Varane, the Englishman Harry Kane, the Argentine Lionel Messi, the Croatian Luka Modric and the Moroccan Mohamed Salah are the eleven nominees for the Best Prize awarded by FIFA to the best players of the year.
France's recent victory at the World Cup in Russia has made the gala selection the most represented in the nominations, where it shines absence of the Brazilian Neymar. The star of Paris Saint-Germain did not distinguish herself in Russia. Conditioned by physical setbacks and a lack of clear organization after his long injury, he did not offer the usual freshness of his football. Neither one nor the other was decisive and his team no longer. He was also deprived of purpose. Neymar will be better known in Russia for his eccentric falls and his continuous simulations than for the football level offered on the turf.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino himself made a veiled criticism of the Brazilian World Cup, when he said: "Neymar is a great player, it's the first thing, a talent, but I would like to see more of his footballing talents in the future. "
In women's football, the candidates are Lucy Bronze (Ing / Olympique Lyonnais); Pernille Harder (Din / Wolfsburg), Ada Hegerberg (Nor / Olympique Lyonnais), Amandine Henry (Fra / Olympique Lyonnais), Samantha Kerr (Aus / Blue Sky FC / Perth Glory FC / Chicago Red Stars), Saki Kumagai (Jap / Olympique), Dzsenifer Marozsan (Ger / Olympique Lyonnais), Marta (Bra / Orlando Pride), Megan Rapinoe (USA / Seattle Reign) and Wendie Renard (Fra / Olympique Lyonnais).
In the coaching section, Atlético de Madrid, Diego Simeone: Barcelona's Ernesto Valverde and Zinedine Zidane, the coach of Real Madrid last season, are among the eleven nominees. Alongside these three, the rest of the candidates unveiled yesterday by FIFA are the French Didier Deshamps, winner of the last World Cup, the Croatian Zlatko Dalic, finalist in Russia 2018, the Russian coach Stanislav Cherchesov, the Englishman Gareth Southgate, the Spanish national team coach Roberto Martínez, Pep Guardiola (Manchester City), Massimiliano Allegri (Juventus) and Jürgen Klopp (Liverpool).
