Messi or Jorginho will win the Ballon d'Or?
(Baonghean.vn) - As the European national championships are about to end and the European cups end, while there are no results from South American football and especially the two important tournaments Copa America 2021 and EURO 2020, public opinion begins to speculate about who will be the owner of the Golden Ball?
Due to his outstanding performance in the 2021 Champions League when he helped Chelsea win the gold cup against rival Manchester City, Kante is considered a strong candidate.
But unfortunately, at EURO 2020, Kante could not clearly show his role in the French team when this championship candidate team stopped in the round of 16 after losing on penalties to the underdog Switzerland. Therefore, Kante's chance to win the Golden Ball became more difficult.

By the time Copa America 2021 and EURO 2020 take place, there are two other candidates being mentioned, Messi (Barcelona and Argentina) and Jorginho (Chelsea and Italy).
Messi is the best player in the world, having won 6 Golden Ball awards, but last season, in La Liga as well as the Champions League, this player did not play as expected. But people still cannot help but mention Messi when he played extremely well with the Argentina team at Copa America 2021, winning the gold cup for the first time with the national team and the title of best player of the tournament.

Meanwhile, in the Premier League and Champions League, Jorginho played very well, especially contributing greatly to Chelsea winning the Champions League gold cup. Like Messi in the Argentina national team, Jorginho in the Italian national team is an indispensable person in the squad of coach Mancini who just won the EURO 2020 gold cup with a perfect record of winning the entire tournament, along with the Italian team's record of 34 wins in all competitions. "The type" of player like Jorginho is currently very rare in football, when he is good at defending, good at organizing, has excellent ball handling skills, and is the one who regulates the rhythm of the team's matches...
Looking at the overall picture, the list of candidates will be longer, including indispensable stars such as Neymar - the best player of Copa America 2021, Donnarumma - the best player of EURO 2020, Ronaldo - top scorer of EURO 2020... But the biggest candidates, in our opinion, will focus on 2 players, Jorginho and Messi, in which the advantage belongs to Jorginho when this player has 2 prestigious gold cups in hand.
It is known that the Golden Ball award is traditionally organized by France Football newspaper to vote for the best player not only in Europe but also in the world. In addition, there is also a prestigious award, the FIFA Player of the Year, voted by FIFA.
Messi may not win the 2021 Ballon d'Or, but the FIFA Player of the Year award still has a chance for him and the same goes for Jorginho, as both have made outstanding contributions to their clubs and national teams in this difficult and turbulent 2021.,.
