Erling Haaland still missed FIFA The Best 2023, although everyone was sure that this title was already guaranteed.
In an extremely sublime season with a treble of titles with Manchester City and countless personal records and titles, by losing the Ballon d’Or and now The Best, Haaland is truly unlucky. It is not surprising that the awards ceremony will be held in London and the Norwegian striker did not attend.
Messi personally did not attend because surely the 36-year-old Argentine forward “did not even think in his wildest dreams that he would win FIFA The Best 2023” to “successfully defend” the award he won a year ago. Because, unlike the Ballon d’Or, Messi has absolutely no chance of “fighting” Haaland in FIFA The Best 2023 when this year’s tournament is only considered from December 19, 2022 to August 20, 2023, it is That is, after the 2022 World Cup.
Everyone is sure that Haaland will deservedly become the number one player in the world. He may miss the Ballon d’Or, but FIFA The Best won’t. Because the 23-year-old forward won both the UEFA Best Player award and the previous IFFHS Best Player award. And, in what factors does Haaland continue to dominate?
In terms of collective titles, in 2023, Haaland completed a great treble with Manchester City, including the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup championships. This is a feat that only one other English club, MU in 1999, has achieved. In addition, “Ma Bu” also added the European Super Cup to his golden record after the Citizens defeated the “King of the Cup” Sevilla.
In 2023, what does Messi have?
French Super Cup, Ligue 1 championship with PSG and Leagues Cup with Inter Miami. Personally, the Norwegian forward broke a series of records and added numerous awards to his “enormous” record: European Golden Boot; Best Premier League Player 2022/23; Top scorer in the Champions League. Not only has he proven to be a top scorer, Haaland is also a creator of opportunities for his teammates, demonstrating his ability to contribute more comprehensively to the home team when he is coached by coach Pep Guardiola.
