The Argentinian has beaten the records goleadores in the League and in the Champions days after it closed the term to vote the next awarded, and already there are voices that ask to reopen it. "Esport3" ensures that the terms of the votes are not immovable
The two historical records beaten by Leo Messi in so only four days have reopened the debate on who deserves the Balloon of Gold of 2014. The bad luck for the Argentinian star of the FC Barcelona is that the term to vote finish the past 21 November, just a day before it surpassed the record of Telmo Zarra at most goleador of the League, and four before it left backwards to Raúl González in the list of scorers of the Champions.
The term of vote of the FIFA, however, is not immovable. In fact, already it was expanded the past season. Then, Cristiano Ronaldo was the big benefited, since a "hat-trick" in the repechage of the World-wide between Portugal and Sweden allowed him possibly win some votes more in an end in which it finish awarding his second Balloon of Gold to the detriment of Ribéry and Messi.
It is necessary to remember, however, that in that occasion the decision took after the president of the FIFA, Sepp Blatter, parodiara to Cristiano Ronaldo in a scene grotesca that gave the turn to the world and generated reactions airadas by part of the Real Madrid.
The regulation of the Balloon of Gold 2014 stipulates that the term can lengthen during a week if they have received less than two thirds of the votes to the hour of the closing. The voters of the Balloon of Gold are all the seleccionadores national, the captains of each selection and the correspondents of the magazine France Football.
The three finalists of the Balloon of Gold of 2014 will know the next 1 December and the winner, in the gala of 12 January. The best positioned to aspire to the award seem to be, to day of today, Manuel Neuer, goalkeeper of the Bayern of Munich and of the German selection champion of the world, Cristiano Ronaldo, champion of Europe with the Real Madrid and maximum goleador of the past Champions and the own Leo Messi.
