The coronavirus crisis threatens to affect the FIFA trophy for the best of the year, the spectacular 'The Best', at least in the traditional format. For now, this newspaper has been able to confirm in sources from the organization that the next edition of the 'FIFA The Best' will not be in September or in the city of Milan, which hosted the ceremony last season, and that points to a telematic ceremony, without a red carpet but spectacular for television.
In the last edition, the winners were Messi, Rapione and Klopp, who were the most voted as the best player and player and best coach by the coaches and captains of the 209 federations that make up FIFA. At the moment, at this point of the year, the technicians and footballers who should vote for the best of last season They have not yet received the FIFA ballot paper, which leans towards the telematic ceremony. The spectacular nature of the never-weighted red carpet of 'The Best' would be sacrificed in the face of the virus, a risk that FIFA flees like the plague.
The next edition of the FIFA trophy, which, like the Ballon d'Or, has been distributed between Messi and Cristiano in recent years, is more open than ever. The suspension of the Eurocup and the Copa América due to the coronavirus puts the focus on Club football, and more specifically on the 'Final to Eight' of the Champions League to be held from August 12 to 23 in Lisbon, episode in which the presence of Messi and Cristiano is also expected, although neither is yet classified. Yes, other teams are, like Atlético, where stars like Oblak have been meriting for years to receive worldwide recognition.
