Nothing Comes to Football: On the Selection of Robert Lewandowski for Player of the Year

Because Bayern Munich looks like a machine even without him, because he is "just" a scorer, because Messi is still on the pitches.

Oddly enough, Robert Lewandowski deserves the title of FIFA Player of the Year, but does he deserve to be first in the rankings of 100 footballers of 2020?

Comes to Robert Lewandowski.

He really deserves it.

For a tremendous and stable career, for the impressive continuity, for the unimaginable numbers (55 goals in 47 games at Bayern Munich in 2019/20), for winning the treble, for the fact that he was the top scorer in three different settings.

After being crowned as FIFA Player of the Year, is also chosen by "The Guardian" World's Best Footballers 100 rankings for 2020, and what say, really comes down to it, or at least feel that way.

That first of all, he deserves "to be recognized." Get the He has a really impressive resume, at the top of Europe, for many years, and in 2020 he even surpassed his standards. He deserves it because his Bayern Munich was really great. , But is also responsible for the memorable game of the year, perhaps of the decade. He deserves it because you look at the list of candidates, and understand that no one deserves more. Messi, Ronaldo, Van Dyke, Mane, De Bruyne, Ramos, Benzema, Ambape No one even comes close to Lewandowski in terms of numbers, achievements or dominance, so why do I still see his name in the first place, and feel it's a compromise?

Reversal: Robert Lewandowski at the top of the list of the 100 best players in the world

Maybe he's just too killer, part of a machine.

Why do I wrinkle my mouth with a feeling of sourness?

Why am I not satisfied, making squeaky noises like Jimmy Turk's?

And again, I would like to make it clear that if I had been required to choose, if I had been included in the FIFA or the Guardian judging panel, I would have chosen Lebandowski without a doubt. With Luca Modric in 2018, "because you have to." That you can not constantly choose Messi Messi Messi, deserves others, especially this year. More than that - if he did not win, I would be boiling! Claiming it's a scandal, disgrace, discrimination , Tired of the Premier League and Spain stars, let someone else. And yet, after all, to see Lewandowski crowned the best in the world, to understand that of all the footballers in the universe he is in the first place, there is something about it that causes discomfort.

What is my problem? The obvious, the right, the obvious, the unavoidable, and therefore predictable, boring, and a little disappointing. Her tip, the edge, the needle that stabs. Maybe because it's never fun to pardon a German team, especially when she takes a seventh consecutive championship in a "great" league that is hard to connect with. Maybe because he is "just" a wide striker, who

This is of course art in itself, but it is a role that conveys efficiency and killerness, and does not have the creativity, the surprise, the spark (compliments to Avi Ratzon, there is no substitute for "Fantasist").

And maybe it's because he's ahead of Leo Messi on the list, which is instinctively reluctant, how the hell could Bandowski be ahead of Messi.

After all, even in the worst and saddest season in the flea's career, after which he felt like breaking the tools and running away, he is also in another dimension.

You have nothing to get upset about, I know the answer, it's clear that every footballer who is a partner in the FIFA and Guardian elections knows that Messi is bigger, better, more talented, but also knows that this year Lewandowski had a better season, that's all. Is it possible to see him on the list above Messi without feeling that there is something distorted here?

Lewandowski: "It is very special to win this title in the era of Ronaldo and Messi"

Until he retires, there is no point in ranking.

Maybe it's a bit like in the NBA, when Yannis Antocompo was named MVP for two consecutive years, but it's clear to everyone that LeBron is the best player in the league.

Okay.

who cares.

And maybe there is a fundamental problem with these rankings (obviously they have no validity or importance, and their clear purpose is to arouse interest and discussion), because somehow it is natural and logical that Bandowski is the FIFA player of the year, but not first place in the footballers rankings. This decision - hundreds of footballers, one above the other, one above, the other below - is inherently outrageous, and not just because each player is experienced differently by each fan, but how can they be rated at all? Have you ever encountered a ranking that you think makes sense? You did not want to turn it around completely? Yuzua Kimish over Benzema? Neymar over Harry Kane? I do not know. Everything is annoying.

FIFA Awards of the Year: Lewandowski Player of the Year, Goalkeeper Neuer, Coach Klopp

Diego Maradona's death and the debate over his historic greatness only illustrated how pointless he is.

Because in terms of achievements, goals, titles - anything that can be measured in numbers - Maradona may not be considered the greatest of them all, but for those who have seen him, it really does not move.

Maybe it's a matter of age, but we really do not care what others say.

We know what we saw, what we felt, how we were amazed.

Novak Djokovic will overtake Roger Federer in the number of Grand Slams, but for most fans of the game will never be considered bigger than him (not to mention beloved, but that's another matter).

It is impossible to argue with feelings that an actor evokes, with the emotion he produces, with the impression he leaves.

It is therefore not really clear what will be said about Lewandowski in the future, beyond "he deserved it."

By the way, he definitely deserves it.
