Lionel Messi: "I didn’t think I was going to win"
Barcelona's Argentine striker Lionel Messi has been awarded for the second consecutive year the Golden Ball that distinguishes the best player in the world. The award was delivered by FIFA at the annual gala held at the Palace of Congresses in Zurich. In the voting by coaches, captains of national teams and sports journalists, Messi surpassed his two teammates, Spaniards Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta.
This is the eighth Golden Ball achieved by a Barca player. Besides Messi in 2009, the award was won by Ronaldinho in 2005, Rivaldo in 1999, Stoichkov in 1994, Cruyff in 1973 and 1974 and Luis Suarez in 1960. The player from Rosario, at age 23, is the only Argentine international (Di Stefano won it twice but as a Spaniard, because the award was only given to the Europeans) that has achieved this award since it was created in 1956 by the journal 'France Football'. "The truth is I was not expecting to win it," Messi acknowledged with surprise after receiving the award from Pep Guardiola, the Barcelona coach.
The Argentine 'crack' closed his speech by dedicating this second Golden Ball: "I share it with my colleagues, without which I would obviously not be here, also to my loved ones, who were always by my side, and to all Barça fans and all Argentines. "
It seemed that his fellows Iniesta and Xavi were more likely to get the award after lifting the trophy after winning the world cup in South Africa, but the 60 goals Messi scored in 2010 (58 with the club and two with Argentina) weighted heavily. Therefore, the former Barcelona player Luis Suarez is still the only Spaniard that has won a Golden Ball And that was fifty years ago.
In the end, the two midfielders of Barcelona have had to settle for being part of the best eleven of the year, which is chosen by the international players ' union . Xavi, Iniesta, Iker Casillas, Gerard Pique and Carles Puyol and David Villa are all part of the Best XI, which is completed by Brazilians Maicon Douglas and Lucimar da Silva 'Lucio', both of Inter of Milan, Dutchman Wesley Snejider, also of Inter, Messi himself and Real Madrid's Portuguese player Cristiano Ronaldo.
Brazil's Marta is already a habit
Brazilian player Marta Silva, the "Rainha Marta (Queen Marta), won her fifth Golden Ball and picked up the award excited at the Palace of Congreses in Zurich, after a fantastic season in the US league.
Marta charmed fans at the matches of the Women's Professional Football League of the USA, where she won the Golden Boot as top scorer and was elected best player of the season. Marta obtained 38.20% of the votes, while Germany's Birgit Prinz and Fatmire Bajramaj received 15.18% and 9.96% respectively. “True that in part it is a weight, a big responsibility, because people expect more from you. But I always worked well with my teams as in the Brazilian team. My friends have shown me that the responsibility belong to all. So I see this award as something positive, as an incentive, a motivation that strengthens my strong desire to work and come back here more times, to win more times, always helping my teams ", said the Brazilian player.
The other winners of the night
Real Madrid coach, Jose Mourinho, has been appointed coach of the year for 2010, thanks to the 'triplet' achieved with Inter of Milan (League, Cup and Champions League) last season.
