Hello! Friends,

Is this fair at all? Does Messi deserve this honour? This is FIFA gaming the system again. As the decision of award Messi is the Men's player of the year best player, many begin to react to the announcement and one of the people that reacted was Paul Merson. He mentioned that the announcement is a joke, but its actually real he was announced! Merson believes that Lionel Messi did not deserve it rather Virgil van Dijk should have been crowned instead in Milan that Monday night.

A recall, Messi only scored 51 goals in 50 matches last season and unable to win champion league for Barcelona and even to his country Argentina he did not do any strange thing that warrant him this award. On the other hand, Virgil van Dijik played a long role in his club(Liverpool) as they won champion league final and his national team was not exempted as he reach Nation league final. It was like a dream when Lionel Messi was called upon because he has not done any spectacular thing last season.

Merson believes Messi was honoured just because C.Ronaldo was honoured two years ago and Luka Modric last year, so he was honored to compensate him.

Wait a minute, if Liverpool manager won manager of the year who on heaven the best player that made this happened can't be rated player of the year by FIFA? Please what else is the thing required for Van Dijk to do to be name as player of the year, I think this is not fair at all.

What do you this about Men's player of the year awarded to Lionel Messi?
