of the longest football season in Europe. No prize for guessing right that the Covid-19 pandemic is the reason for the elongated soccer season. 2019/2020 calendar is one to be forgotten quickly because winners of competitions couldn’t celebrate elaborately, like they would have wished.
The end of the season throws up an array of choices of the best players in the different leagues. The ultimate prize would be to select the best stars in the five continents of the world. The World Footballer of the Year awards have been cancelled as result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Marotta stressed it would be ‘extraordinary to see such a champion at Inter’, before adding: “It’s fantasy football, a utopian situation.” He continued: “Our football [in Italy] needs a lift. Champions raise the value of the Italian brand and football. Talking about big money transfers at the end of seasons reminds this writer of Arsene Wenger who derided the emergence of Sheiks in the ownership structure of the English game, warning that they would ruin the business with their senseless splashing of cash.

The players get the accolades when the going is rosy. What a travesty. Consequently, when renowned journal adjudged Zinedine Zidane as the best coach, nobody flinched considering the parameters used in arriving at the decision.
