Team Head Coach Croatia Zlatko Dalic refused to vote to determine the best football player at The Best FIFA Football Awards 2022. The specialist called on FIFA to show more respect for his national team.
“I am disappointed with FIFA’s treatment of the Croatian national team because I strongly believe that based on everything we have achieved as a national team, we deserve more respect from the most highest governing body of world football than we have received.
Watch the list of 14 nominees for the FIFA Men’s Player of the Year award. Apart from Luka Modric, where are the other Croatian players? I don’t want to name any names, but wasn’t Mateo Kovacic on that list? And Yoshko Guardiola? Most put him in the top 11 of the World Cup and the Bundesliga, but what about Dominik Livakovic – doesn’t he deserve to be one of the five finalists for the award best FIFA goalkeeper after all he did in Qatar?
If English, Brazilian, Spanish, German or Italian players and managers showed results like ours, they would be on the shortlist of all possible football awards. Having considered all of the above, I have decided not to participate in the voting process for this year’s awards, but I would like to congratulate all of the winners for their well-deserved awards.
According to the results of the vote, the Argentinian Lionel Messi was recognized as the best football player of the year according to FIFA.
The Best FIFA Football Awards 2022 ceremony was broadcast live by the channel.
