"It was a farce that Messi was the best of the World-wide"

The ex international German Lothar Matthaus has described as "farce" that Leo Messi was better elected player of the World-wide past and said that the Balloon of Gold only can be for Manuel Neuer or Cristiano Ronaldo, with a light advantage for the Portuguese.

"Messi has not won at all. In the World-wide only marked in the phase of groups. It was a farce that chose better player of the tournament. That they gave him the prize to him was shameful", has written Matthaus in an article that publishes this Monday the magazine "Kicker".

Matthaus Considers even that Messi would not have to be this time between the three finalist of the Balloon of Gold. "I had preferred instead of him to Arjen Robben, that did a good World-wide with Holland and an extraordinary season with the Bayern", added.

Matthaus, Balloon of Gold in 1991, admits that it wants to that it win Manuel Neuer and that to his favour speaks the new form in that it has interpreted the paper of goalkeeper. However, it warns Matthaus, in the another side of the scales are the goals and the records of Cristiano Ronaldo.
