Two Argentina national team players, Lionel Messi and Julian Alvarez, celebrated in a test match against the United Arab Emirates national team at the Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium, Wednesday (11/16/2022).
BOLASPORT.COM – Some netizens are confused by the presence of Julian Alvarez on the list of candidates for the FIFA The Best 2022 award.
On Thursday (12/1/2023), FIFA released the 14 best player nominees for the 2022 edition.
There is the name of the striker for the Argentine national team, Julian Alvarez.
The attackers, who are called Lionel Messi’s deadly duo at the Albiceleste, are competing with gacor bombers like Kylian Mbappe, Karim Benzema, Erling Haaland, Robert Lewandowski and Sadio Mane.
Alvarez’s appearance on the list of potential winners for FIFA The Best made a number of people frown.
The reason is, Alvarez’s performance with Manchester City cannot be said to be flashy.
He has only scored three goals in the Premier League since joining The Citizens in 2021.
There were also those who were furious because Alvarez was on the nomination list while Cristiano Ronaldo was not.
“Why is Alvarez there? He only appeared three months ago,” wrote one netizen.
“Don’t believe anyone who thinks Alvarez is better than Ronaldo. I’ve never seen such disrespect,” said another netizen.
