Each year, once the winners of each shortlist have been announced at the awards ceremony The best, it is interesting, and sometimes surprising, to know who voted the best players in the world for each of the trophies. But whoever did not benefit from this went to praise David, Central defender of Real Madridwho took first place in the best player award Lionel Messi From Karim Benzemahis teammate. When the Merengues fans discovered him, they didn’t let this attitude go away.
A collective fury ended up being unleashed among the fan. The 30-year-old Austrian player started receiving racist insults and attacks from all Real Madrid fans when he opted for the Argentine star, the biggest idol of his classic rival and who has embittered the Juventus club for more than 17 years. The discomfort of the Spaniards was also so great that they managed to reach a total of 20,000 comments in the latest player publication, most of which were not very pleasant. Also, the phrase “Alaba out” (“Fuera Alaba”, in Spanish) It has become a trend on Twitter.
Faced with this situation, the defender was forced to give explanations to stop the attacks against him. And the reason why he chose Messi as best player is because he didn’t vote personally, but he decided together with his teammates.
That’s because one of the categories FIFA considers to decide the awards corresponds to the captains of each national team, with Alaba wearing the ribbon for Austria. Therefore, his election has to do with the fact that he and his comrades voted together.
“Following the FIFA The Best Awards, the Austrian national team cast their votes for this award as a team, not just me. Anyone in the squad has the right to vote and that’s how we proceed. Everyone knows this, and especially Karim ( Benzema) , how much I admire him and his performances” wrote the former Bayern Munich player on his Twitter account.
And speaking of his own opinion he added: “And I’ve said many times that for me he’s the best striker in the world (Benzema), and he continues to be so. Without a doubt.”
The Austrian captain thus sought to put an end to this misunderstanding and to show that he had respect for his compatriots when it came to defining the votes, their desire being to put the native of Rosario as the winner. He just put his name of him as captain. After defining first and second place, third went to Frenchman Kylian Mbappé.
