Striking role is one of the most difficult position to play in football. Apart goal keepers that try to prevent the ball from entering the back of the net, strikers are always alert to try to score. Other players score, defenders score, Sergio Ramos has the highest record as a goal scorer despite he also has the record of receiving red cards.

Recall, 2006 world cup, a defender won the best player of the year which I know is very rare and Zidane Zidan has won it as a midfielder. But others has been strikers(Fw) which are the goal punchers. There are different forwards and their job is to get the goals and is the most difficult role to play on the pitch.

What I believe is that any player can be acknowledged once such player is doing what is needful. Play well both at club sides and national side. Win trophies especially the Champions League though I know that the world cup is very difficult. Fight for your team and most times take responsibility when the need arises. C. Ronaldo do this most often which he tries to motivate his teammates. Euro 2016 manifested this attribution despite he pick up an injury but he was vital to the team.

Any player can nominated but it will be difficult to win especially nowadays that Center Forward (CF) are recognized with this reward.
