They left … only three of the 23 children. International Football Federation (FIFA) cut off exactly 20 names and named three main: players who will compete for the main individual football award – the “Golden Ball”. Two names, of course, 95% of the fans of this game had predicted long before the official announcement – it’s the players “Real” and “Barcelona”: Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. But over the last head would break, though, and it was clear with almost 100 percent certainty that such would be the new champion of the world. And so it happened: Manuel Neuer. “MK” offers to get acquainted with the ins and outs of each of these three.

Cristiano Ronaldo
Country: Portugal
Club: “Real Madrid”
Age: 29 years
Trophies in 2014: Champions League, Copa del Rey, the Spanish Super Cup.
Pros. Cristiano Ronaldo holds, perhaps, its most enchanting season of his career. He himself admitted, and the naked eye can see that the shape of CR7 really fantastic. Over the 47 matches in the “Real” he chop 50 goals, many of which have resulted in the “Royal Club” to what he was in for the season. Apart, of course, is the 10th cup of the Champions League.
Especially successfully manage the Portuguese end of the calendar year. In the championship of Spain “Real” in the lead, Ronaldo only one match of the championship was not able to score in the Champions League and he continues extravaganza and Raul broke the record for goals scored in this tournament. However, before that did Leo Messi, but about it below.
Cons. Cristiano – an absolute star and leader of the Portuguese national team. And together with his team, he completely failed World Cup in Brazil. “The team selected” could not even get out of the group and went home. And as the year of the FIFA World Cup is always special, in the end it was this failure, and can affect the chances of Ronaldo. But when you consider that the “Golden Ball” – the award is an individual, then Cristiano is the main challenger.

Lionel Messi
Country: Argentina
The Club “Barcelona”
Age: 27 years
Trophies in 2014: World Championship silver medals
Pros. The long-awaited union Lionel Messi and Argentina finally took place in the full sense of the word. From star striker “Barcelona” for a long time it demanded the same enchanting play for the national team, which he shows in the camp of blue garnet. Wait!
Messi dragged sky-blue to the finals of the Brazilian World Cup, where, however, they lost to the German national team (this, again – below), was the best player of the tournament. And for the “Barcelona”, he scored a lot this year: 44 goals in 48 games.
Cons. Still trophy harvest Catalans’ 2014 Year unusually small. With the club Messi failed to win nothing, which, of course, for the most part will be a stone in his garden. The fact that this year’s Leo often been in the hospital – may also play a role.
The problem Messi is that he established the same bar – very high. Hold it every year, every year when you become a senior, is more complicated. And the same 44 goals in 48 games is no longer look so phenomenal, because it is Messi. If such a result could boast of a conditional world champion Thomas Mueller, I’m sure it was he would be a top contender for “Zola the ball.” But the name of Messi – it is almost half the battle. And not in a bad way, as you might think. Messi – Messi is. Messi – is four times winner of the “ZM”.

Manuel Neuer
Country: Germany
Club: “Bavaria”
Age: 28 s
Trophies in 2014: European Championship, the German Cup, World Championship.
Pros. Honestly – very glad that in the final three of this name is present. Firstly, it is logical – the world champion just have to be on the list of nominees. Secondly, what did Manuel Neuer in 2014 – it is, sorry, already innovation. Do I need to explain how difficult it is to come up with something new in football? ..
The fact that the “Bavaria” tirelessly dominates in Germany – Neuer is considerable merit. In the gold medal of the world championship, “Bundesteam” – even more so. But what was the goalkeeper Neuer, often play outside his own penalty, often starting their teams attack from a position almost midfielder – is history. How to shop goalkeeper and football in general.
Cons. They are generally not. But one is not particularly dependent of Manuel Neuer. To goalkeeper received the “Golden Ball” – it should be Lev Yashin. After all, the legendary Russian goalkeeper is still the sole owner of this award among goalkeepers. It happened back in 1963. Will history repeat itself in 2014, or rather, in 2015 – after the name of the winner will be announced on January 12 in Zurich?
We learn little more than a month. As you stand there in front of goalie genius Neuer two geniuses attack – Ronaldo and Messi.
