The Balloon of Gold is the individual prize by excellence in the world of the football. It delivers it the magazine 'France Footbal' and rewards the level of each player beside the titles that has won in a natural year. However, the votes do not correspond to some values preestablecidos, by what sometimes is very subjective and does not adjust to the that really is the best.
On the other hand, the another big annual prize that delivers to the players, with the permission of the 'The Best', is the Boot of Gold. On the contrary that the two awards mentioned with interioridad, the Boot of Gold has very clear his guidelines that correspond with the maximum goleador of the European leagues, with a system of punctuations that rewards to mark in championships more difficult.
Thus, the Boot of Gold is a prize that leaves much clearer the player with more influence of Europe, since it rewards the goal, that after all is what does to win parties and titles. In this sense, Leo Messi has been the footballer that has carried it to him and already has five, being the footballer that more times has won it.
Carles Rexach, ex player and trainer of the FC Barcelona, did an interesting reflection about this subject. "I go to say a thing that the same there are people that does not share. I prefer five Boots of Gold to five Balloons of Gold. The goals has marked them and anybody can deny them. The another (by the Balloon of Gold) is a vote. Besides there are interests created. It loans to manipulation", in statements collected by Ace.
Rexach Has clear that the fact that the football was a collective sport puts in doubt the individual prizes, remembering that the goal is the only absolute value. "In tennis the people can argue if it is better Nadal or Federer but at the end of year there is a punctuation that says who is the number one. In football when being a sport of group, this is more difficult. But it would be necessary to say what cost a League, what cost a Champions, what a World-wide", said, referring to the goals.
Messi, more than a goleador
It can that Leo Messi do not leave at present the scandalous figures goleadoras that left does some years, but the true is that the Argentinian has evolved in his game and now contributes much more that goals. Before it used his talent of face to goal and already was the best. Nevertheless, now no only it is able to manufacture his own goals, but it also manufactures the ones of the other.
