After “losing” the title of The Best Fifa Player of the Year to Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland was logically elected Player of the Year at the Globe Soccer Awards organized in Dubai.
The absence of Erling Haaland at The Best Fifa Football Awards last Monday in London was not insignificant. The Norwegian striker from Manchester City snubbed the event while it was Lionel Messi (who also did not come) who was voted The Best Fifa Player of the Year to everyone’s surprise. An incomprehensible coronation in favor of the Ballon d’Or record holder, who left PSG for Inter Miami last summer…
This time, Haaland traveled to Dubai to receive the Player of the Year trophy at the Globe Soccer Awards, being voted on by the many football personalities who make up the jury. A just reward for the center forward of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, who won the Premier League-FA Cup-Champions League treble before winning the Spanish Super Cup and the Club World Cup.
Logically, the Cityzens are the big winners of the evening, with the awards for best club, best coach (Pep Guardiola), best president (Khaldoon Al Mubarak), best midfielder (Rodrigo) and best goalkeeper (Ederson). Ronaldo was highlighted with trophies for Fans’ Player of the Year, Best Player in the Middle East and the Maradona Award for Top Scorer of the Year. Lionel Messi got nothing.
