Modric, Marta crowned London; Neymar not in FIFA XI



Luka Modric and Didier Deschamps have been awarded the “Best Honours” as The Best FIFA Men’s Player and The Best FIFA Men’s Coach respectively at The Best FIFA Football Awards™ at London’s Royal Festival Hall, home to London’s Symphony Orchestra, on Monday.
Among the ladies, legendary Brazilian forward Marta and first-time nominee Reynald Pedros were rewarded as The Best FIFA Women’s Player and The Best FIFA Women’s coach respectively.
Thibaut Courtois was crowned Gianluigi Buffon’s replacement for The Best FIFA Goalkeeper Award. Buffon’s was the first crowned Best FIFA goalkeeper last year. No a Real Madrid man, Courtois is honoured for outstanding year with Chelsea last year and stunning performances at Russia 2018.
Brazilian star Neyman Jr has failed to find a place even the in FIFA World XI for the year.
The FIFA FIFPro World11 included two of Courtois’ former Blues team-mates and four of his current Los Blancos colleagues. Luka Modric was joined in the star-studded XI by club team-mates Marcelo, Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane with David De Gea, Dani Alves, Eden Hazard, N’Golo Kante, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi completing the star-studded line-up elected by thousands of players from across the globe, FIFA has stated on its website.
The players had their say, and so did the fans, who voted for the Puskás and FIFA Fan Awards, with Mo Salah the ultimate winner of the Puskás Award thanks to his outstanding goal against Everton. Peru supporters scooped the third Fan Award, thanks to the South American country’s dedicated and fanatical following at the World Cup.
