The award for the best soccer player in Europe is gaining additional importance this year, in light of the cancellation of the Golden Ball award due to the emerging Corona virus, and it appears the Polish scorer, Robert Lewandowski, and his colleague at Bayern Munich, the European champion, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, the best candidates to win it, today, from Before the European Union game.
The two teams of the Bavarian team have a logical difference over the Belgian Kevin De Bruyne, who lost the English Premier League title with his Manchester City team and was excluded from the Champions League, despite his great brilliance with the blue team.
And after the Corona virus disrupted the European championships and prompted some to cancel its conclusion after a period of suspension, similar to the French championship, the Golden Ball award presented since 1956 by the prestigious French magazine, France Football, was canceled.
The prize will be distributed on the sidelines of the draw for the group stage in the Champions League, which Bayern Munich won last season at the expense of Paris Saint-Germain, without fans in Lisbon.
The Dutch defender, Virgil van Dyck, won the 2019 award after his prominence with Liverpool and leading him to the Champions League title.
Bayern, who last season also won their eighth title in a row in the domestic league, dominated the top 10 list revealed by "Wifa" last week, and included striker Thomas Muller (6), Spanish midfielder Thiago Alcantara moving to Liverpool (8), and the defender is a player. The center, Joshua Kimmish (9).
At the age of 32, Lewandowski was the most prominent player in his team in a season in which he scored a historic new hat-trick, scoring 34 goals in the Bundesliga (League), and 15 goals on the European stage.
At the end of last August, his coach, Hanzi Flick, decided that he should obtain the best player award in the world presented by FIFA, whose organization this year is doubtful, saying: “I do not see any other player who deserves it.” He accompanied him some time ago after losing the Champions League final with his former club Borussia Dortmund in 2013, in addition to a negative reputation for his inability to resolve major events.
He emerged greatly against Chelsea in the final price, scoring three goals and four crucial assists, and then added a goal in the quarter-finals during the sweeping victory against Barcelona (8-2).
He also scored in the semi-final against Lyon, France (3-0), but will he be punished for not scoring in the final match?
Among the coaches, in a recent award, a German coach will win the award, as the competition is limited to Hanzi Flick (Bayern Munich), Jürgen Klopp (Liverpool, England) and Julian Nagelsmann (Leipzig).
Among the women, a committee consisting of 80 club coaches and 55 European journalists nominated two winners in the European Champions League with Lyon, France: Wendy Renard and Lucy Bruns, who was crowned last year and moved to Manchester City. .
For the best coach or coach in women's clubs, Spain's Luis Curtis (Barcelona), Germany's Stefan Lerch (Wolfsburg) and Frenchman Jean-Luc Fasor (Lyon) face off.
Will he be crowned as a final guard?
Manuel Neuer began his season in the wake of an argument about his right to occupy the position of the main goalkeeper in the German national team, in light of fierce competition from Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Barcelona's goalkeeper.
But the former Schalke goalkeeper sealed his season in the most wonderful way, cementing his record with two Champions League titles after the first in 2013, the 2014 World Cup, eight league titles and six domestic cups.
The 34-year-old German could become the first goalkeeper to win a major singles award, since former Soviet giants Lev Yashin won the Ballon d'Or in 1963.
Neuer emerges under the logs and an extra defender when he takes risks and steps forward to help his teammates despite the pressure of the attackers.
"Mano is in the category alone. I have nothing against Robert Lewandowski. He is a top scorer, but for me, the player of the year is Manuel Neuer," the coach of the national team, Joachim Low, said in an interview with "Kicker" magazine.
