Football, its individual prizes and exemplary formations go fast to the commercial and marketing direction, rather than being the culmination of the player's performance above the green rectangle and his contributions to leading his team to titles.

Although this topic has become known and certain among fans of the round witch, the ideal selection chosen by the fans and announced by the European Football Association (UEFA) for the past season was unprecedented.

Valueva, who used to be the 4-3-3 squad for the year, surprisingly changed this time to 4-2-4, meaning there are four strikers at the front, all in order to involve Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

According to the British newspaper "Daily Mail", the reason for this is because Ronaldo occupied fourth place in the field of strikers behind Lionel Messi, his arch-rival Barcelona striker, Senegalese Sadio Mane, Liverpool striker and Polish player Robert Lewandowski, Bayern Munich's top scorer.

However, UEFA, apparently for marketing and financial reasons, decided to involve Ronaldo and add a new striker at the expense of a midfielder, Frenchman Ngullo Kanti.

The perfect squad was supposed to be announced last week, but the decision to change the squad and put Ronaldo in it delayed its revelation until yesterday.

"This is a kind of voting fraud," said a source on the subject. "This is due to Ronaldo's popularity within the European organization. The alarm bells were ringed inside UEFA when he failed to appear in the General Team, so I changed the squad and this is what drives you to ask about the next steps and how things are managed."

In a response to a UEFA spokesman, he said, "The change in the squad was due to the victory of Portugal in the European Champions League," adding that "the change in the squad reflected the fans' voting and the achievements of the players in the European championships."

It is noteworthy that the fans in the past years were the ones who chose to form the team of the year, and UEFA adopted 4-3-3 in the past six years, with one exception in 2017 as the formation was 4-4-2 with Ronaldo and Messi in the offensive line.

The fans had chosen five out of 11 players on the 2019 team:

Goalkeepers: Brazilian Alison Baker (Liverpool)

Defense: Dutch Virgil van Dyck (Liverpool), Dutchman Matthias de Licht (Juventus) and Englishman Trent Alexander Arnold (Liverpool) Scottish Andrew Robertson (Liverpool).

Midfield: Dutchman Frenke de Jong (Barcelona) and Belgian Kevin de Bruyne (Man City).

The attack: Messi (Barcelona), Ronaldo (Juventus), Levandowski (Bayern Munich) and Mane (Liverpool).
