The Golden Globe Awards are said to be the Oscars in the football world, but sometimes the selection results are even more bloody than TV series. In the past 15 years, some winners have obviously not bad data honors, but they are called "square goods" and even labeled as "stealing awards". Today, let’s look at the most powerful software systems in place. Which Golden Globe winners are the most controversial, and why are they sprayed into sieves?

No. 1: Messi in 2010: He lost the worst year in the World Cup, but he made a counterattack with data?

Messi won the second Golden Globe Award in 2010, but this year was "the most outrageous in history".

Main opponents: Sneijder won the Champions League + Serie A + Italian Cup three championships, and led the Netherlands to the World Cup final, contributing 5 goals and 1 assist; Iniesta even defeated Germany in the World Cup final, helping Spain win the championship.

Messi's embarrassment: Argentina was beaten 4-0 by Germany in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Messi failed to score a goal, and the only hard honor for the whole year was the La Liga championship.

Voting Metaphysics: The Golden Globe Award and the World Footballer merged for the first time, and the judges expanded from pure reporters to coaches and captains. As a result, Messi forced out competitors with stronger team honors with personal data (60 goals and 24 assists). Even the Spanish media was furious: "Is the World Cup champion member not worthy of winning the award?"

Second place in 2013 Ronaldo

Focus on controversy: Can you win the king without a crown? This year, Ronaldo's Golden Globe Award was jokingly called "stolen".

Ribery's grievances: Bayern won the five championships (Champions League, Bundesliga, German Cup, etc.), Ribery contributed 15 goals and 14 assists as the core, but only ranked third.

Ronaldo's "counterattack": Real Madrid only won the Spanish Super Cup throughout the year, but Ronaldo's 69 goals data was too explosive. What's even more outrageous is that FIFA temporarily extended the voting deadline and was exposed to pressure on the judges to change the votes, which forced Ribery to continue.

Fans joked: "This award was not played, it was robbed by the Public Relations Department stayed up late and worked overtime!" Ribery was still swearing many years later: "This is robbery!"

Third place: 2018 Modric

Controversy Focus: Is the spring of midfielders coming?

Magic Flute broke Melo's ten-year monopoly, which seemed inspiring, but in fact it was controversial:

Team honors were vague: Real Madrid won three consecutive Champions League, but Ronaldo was the thigh of the knockout stage (15 goals), and Magic Flute was more of the lubricant for the "Celebration Midfielder"; Croatia's runner-up, his contribution was not as good as Perisic (3 goals and 1 assist).

Ronaldo's anger: After Ronaldo transferred to Juventus, Real Madrid made every effort to publicize the magic flute, and was even revealed to be manipulating the media to build momentum. Netizens' sarcastic tongue: "The Magic Diary won the award, and Ronaldo can make up for the picture of his sneakers in Juventus locker room with 10,000 times!"

Historical status: Magic Diary's data (4 goals and 8 assists) is inferior to the Golden Ball predecessor, and even Guardiola was confused: "The Mid-back takes the Golden Ball? I've seen you again in 20 years!"

4th place: 2021 Messi

Focus of controversy: Can the national team change their fate in the first championship? Messi's seventh golden ball directly made Lewandowski lose his phone:

data comparison is tragic: Lewandowski scored 69 goals and 11 assists throughout the year, winning all the Champions League, Bundesliga and Club World Cup; Messi scored 38 goals and 12 assists, Barcelona was eliminated in the Champions League round of 16, and La Liga only third.

Judges "Double Standards": emphasized the performance of the Champions League in previous years, and suddenly changed their words in 2021 to "attention to national team competitions." Messi earned enough sympathy points for winning the American Cup, but Lewandowski missed two consecutive opportunities due to the cancellation of the 2020 Golden Globe Awards.

Netizen comments: "Messi's tears are worth a golden ball, and Lewandowski's tears can only be replaced with a pack of tissues. Lewandowski's complaints to reporters: "It is recommended to customize the eighth voting button for Messi! ”

Fifth place: Rodri

Controversy focus: Defensive players are not worthy of having their names? Rodri beat Vinicius upset, and the controversy directly blows up the football world:

Sweet data: 4 goals and 6 assists, and Vinicius scored more goals in half a season (the latter's Champions League final MVP + 23 goals).

Team Honor Metaphysics: Manchester City only has the Premier League champion, and the Champions League was stopped in the semi-finals; Vinicius took Real Madrid to the Champions League + La Liga, but was sent by a sentence "difference in balance position".

Real Madrid was furious: The official push directly posted Vinicius's winning picture with the text "? ? ? ”, fans are crazy about the "shady curtain".

Why is the Golden Ball more and more fascinated?

1. Standard drift; at the moment, looking at the data, the feelings, and the emphasis on "position balance", which is faster than a scumbag's change of heart

2. Manipulation of giants: Real Madrid, Barcelona and other giants rely on media public relations to influence public opinion, and non-wealthy cores like Sneijder and Ribery can only suffer in silence.

3. The judges and Feng: The national team captain and coach vote are often deviated by emotions (such as the 2021 Messi-College of America's Cup). The controversy over the Golden Ball Award is essentially a tear-off between "individual heroism" and "team first" values ​​in the football world. Some people say that Messi and Ronaldo's monopoly era at least data speak, but now the standards are so chaotic that even Guardiola can't understand. If you want to maintain the authority of this award in the future, you may have to give the judges a compulsory course "How to Objectively Select"!
