Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr picked PSG star Kylian Mbappe as his favourite for The Best Fifa Men's Player of the Year for 2019 while captain Ahmed Musa voted for the eventual winner, Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi.
Rohr snubbed Juventus ’ Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi in his selection and chose Mbappe, Liverpool 's Virgil van Dijk and
Real Madrid's Eden Hazard as his top three candidates.
Musa, on his part, went for Messi as his number one while Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah followed in the second and third place respectively.

Every coach and captain of Fifa’s 211-member nations voted, including journalists from the regions with their votes calculated by allocating five points to the first, three points for second and a point for the third selection.
In a ceremony held in Teatro alla Scala on Monday, Messi scooped the prestigious individual prize with 46 points while van Dijk came closest with 38 points and Ronaldo followed with 36 points

A dumb coach.
Such a foreign slowpoke cannot take our Super Eagles to greater heights.
Which sane coach will pick Mbapper over Messi and Ronaldo?

Hold it please. Everyone has right to his opinion and you need to respect that.


I also share the sentiments of excusing Messi and Ronaldo from the redar. It's time we encourage beautiful talents again.
