Well, Messi won the first FIFA Golden Ball . I did not expect, but we must recognize that not only deserved to be there but Messi is so worthy winner as he had been Xavi. Not so Iniesta, whose goal always appreciate but beyond that historic moment for our football had an uneven season plagued by injuries. However, even that of Fuentealbilla has been ahead of Terrassa, and the goal is the best exponent of this sport which rises under the altar who owns it.
And there is Messi, who has had enough to score goals without being a forward to use. But the Argentine is more, is a player who unclogs, assists, partners and defined. A total player who can only cope better Christian. His year has been spectacular: how many players have been individually complete a season like Messi in 2010? It seemed impossible, but it was even higher than that of 2009. Messi was top scorer in the league with 34 goals, a figure that was lacking in our competition since Ronaldo reached thirteen years ago, which has given the Golden Boot, and has also been the top scorer in the Champions League with eight goals four of them at that stratospheric night against Arsenal this season and has now 19 goals league.
He blames the world, and here comes the mess. Without being mediocre, it went fine as usual. In a position where Maradona wanted me to do, precisely, Xavi, turned away from playing area behind the ball and not in front, and was perhaps the best team did not play anything from the hand of Maradona, but was considered insufficient to merit. In the history of the award, the highest football tournament has had a fundamental importance. The tournaments have all the selections, but especially the World Cup. As you know, until fifteen years ago could not be awarded non-European players, but if a European team won the World Cup was one of his Golden Ball players with one exception: the Cruyff after losing the final against Germany at 74. Now there are two.
Without the benefit of Brazil in 58, 62, 70 or 94, or Argentina in 78 or 86, won in 1966 Bobby Charlton after winning with England in 1982, Paolo Rossi after winning the World Cup in Spain and Italy; in 1990, Matthäus after being champion Germany in 1998 Zidane with France, in 2002, Ronaldo in Brazil and in 2006, with Italy Cannavaro. Always global scale was a decisive save in the figure of Cruyff, considered one of the best, if not the best European player in history. Beckenbauer was second after winning the World Alemania'74, but it had been winning in 1972 and again be four years later.
I do not think Messi unfair election, for whom the adjectives were completed this year, but has not proceeded as usual regarding the history of this trophy. Cannavaro won it in a decision that did not convince many. Cannavaro and Buffon first second represents the style of world champions Italy in 2006, it accounted for Spain Xavi and Iniesta. If we wanted that they won Xavi or Iniesta should not have seemed unfair at the Italian players. Now, the Azzurri were not faced with a player like Messi present, what would have happened then?
Another curious fact is the low profile of be named best player in the world for the Golden Ball: Since the establishment of the balls of gold, silver and bronze in 1982 World Cup and beyond Rossi World Cup Golden Ball France Football and is not never again twisted. In 1986 Maradona could not be won, it would have been, and fell to the Soviet Belanova. In 1990 the best in the world was Schillaci, with Matthäus second. In 1994 it was Romario, in the last edition in which a player could not be European Golden Ball and went to Stoichkov, bronze at the World Cup after Roberto Baggio. In 1998 he was Ronaldo, Zidane, without the three best in the WorldFrance (?). In 2002, Khan, with Ronaldo second. In 2006, Zidane, with Cannavaro after the French, and in 2010, Forlan, with Sneijder as silver and Villa in the third step. None of the three nominees for the FIFA Golden Ball was in the World Cup podium.
There may be a feeling that we have taken some, such as the Netherlands also have felt when he saw that Sneijder was not among the three finalists, and this year we were closer than ever, but I think that football has given us what we deserve. Collectively we're the best, and for that matter. We won World Championship playing football, two titles that will always be remembered, but this is an individual trophy, and there we have the best. Needless to us.
