Nearly every year after the FIFA Ballon d'Or award ceremony,
the shady deal will be reported.

After 2014 Ballon d'Or award ceremony,it reported that voting results of 10 coaches have been 'strangely' tampered, and the more ironic thing is that 2 coaches have been ignored by FIFA.
In 2013,Jose Mourinho complained that he and Ronaldo were treated unfairly by FIFA because some coaches called and told him they had voted for him but at last these votes appeared under other candidates' names. And he thought Ronaldo is much more qualified than Messi for the Ballon d'Or.
After Messi was awarded FIFA Ballon d'Or in 2010, many people wondered why he deserved it because he was not as outstanding as his competitors in that year.

Rules

After 2014 Ballon d'Or award ceremony, reported that voting results of 10 coaches have been 'strangely' tampered, and the more ironic thing is that 2 coaches have been ignored by FIFA. In 2013, Jose Mourinho complained that he and Ronaldo were treated unfairly by FIFA because some coaches called and told him they had voted for him but at last these votes appeared under other candidates' names. And he thought Ronaldo is much more qualified than Messi for the Ballon d'Or. After Messi was awarded FIFA Ballon d'Or in 2010, many people wondered why he deserved it because he was not as outstanding as his competitors in that year.

Considerate Standards

By analyzing the voting results from 2007 to 2013, we can learn that the most important influences are the honors of the player himself, his football club and national team, among these, the personal honors take up the most proportion, then the football club, finally the national team. In the World Cup year, the performance of the national team is a consideration, however, in recent years, it has gradually lost its influences as it used had with changes of voting rules. Besides, the team role player plays is also a considerate factor.

Lionel
Messi

10#

Another great possibility is Lionel Messi, who has been the top 3 of Ballon d'Or for 8 years. This year, he became the all-time top scorer in La Liga, and the all-time leading goalscorer in the UEFA Champions League. In the Brazil World Cup, he helped his national team Argentina struggled into the finals and got the Runner-up, which is the greatest achievement since 1990. At the conclusion of the World Cup final, Messi was awarded the Golden Ball, and was named in the FIFA World Cup All-Star Team. Similarly, there is also a regret for Messi, his club team didn't get any champions this year which made him less competitive than Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo

7#

The last year's winner Cristiano Ronaldo is considered to be the most possible one to receive 2014 Ballon d'Or. This year, he almost won all of individual awards in Europe, broke the single season goals scored record of UEFA Champions League, and his club, Real Madrid, has won champions of UEFA Champions League and the European Cup. Besides, he helped the team won the champion of Copa del Rey in Spain. The only regret this year was that in the Brazil World Cup, the Portugal national team fail to qualify for the finals.

Manuel Neuer

1#

The last candidate is Manuel Neuer, who is one of the hottest football players in recent years. His club team Bayern Munich won the champions of Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal. His national team got the champion of Brazil World Cup and he himself got FIFA World Cup Golden Glove due to his wonderful performance. However, Neuer now cannot make the same contributions as Ronaldo and Messi do to the whole team. And his role as a goalkeeper in the team is also a limit since there is only one goalkeeper received Ballon d'Or in the history and it happened in 1963. Compared with Ronaldo and Messi, there is still a long distance for Neuer to Ballon d'Or.
