There are many strikers, but real strikers are a rarity. Portugal has Cristiano Ronaldo, the most accurate national player in the world. Belgium doesn’t need to hide with Romelu Lukaku. A showdown, also in the race for the top scorer.
They are the essence and goal of every football game, they decide games like tournaments and outshine tackles and parades: the goals. It is not for nothing that those who shoot them have always been the most expensive on the transfer market and enjoy the highest standing with the audience. Defense chiefs and ball distributors earn recognition and respect, but it is the strikers whose names small children proudly carry on their backs in the garden behind the house, and who even adults sometimes get into this form of enthusiasm. So while football is a team sport, particular attention is paid to goal scorers. This is already evident from the fact that the most accurate player has been noted in the annals since the beginning of the competitions. The fact that this does not have to be congruent with the best player was only honored much later by officials. In the meantime, separate honors have been carried out at the World Cup (since 1982) and the European Championship (1996). It’s no secret that the top scorer has good cards in this election too.
