The Best FIFA Men’s Player 2019: 3 reasons why Lionel Messi should win this award
3. Van Dijk himself wants Messi to win
The fact that he delivers displays of such mind-boggling brilliance 25 or 30 times a season should not just be brushed aside. We should appreciate him while we can, and revel in his unmatched splendour.
And if you’re still not convinced, take heed of an informed opinion from a man who played against him last season: “Messi is still the best player in the world and I think he deserves it [the award] as long as he is playing.” said Van Dijk.
Thus, there is no doubt Messi has a good claim at this award, and if he wins it ahead of Van Dijk, then it would be justified at many levels. As at the end of the day it is an individual award.
Taking nothing away from Van Dijk, Messi had another season, which we soon might not see ahead regularly.
