The award is not always reflective of the best player in the world because there are some players who never got the recognition they deserve even though they performed spectacularly well at a time in their career. But also the popular opinion is not always the correct one because for example we all think that Vini Jr deserved it, or any other player in their time, but we are ignorant of all the requirements that the people who decide who should win look at. The difference between one player and another in this award is sometimes by just a fine margin. The objective of this award in another discussion is now being questioned.
