We can describe the award for the best player in the World Cup as the award for the losers, after it was won by players who failed to win the title in the last 6 versions of the World Cup.
FIFA awarded the award for the best player in the Russian World Cup to Croatian national team captain Luka Modric, to be the sixth player to win the award while he was a loser. The award was awarded to Brazilian top scorer Ronaldo in the 98 World Cup, who lost the final with his country against France 3-0, while he won it in the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, German goalkeeper Oliver Kahn, who fell with his country against the Brazilians in the final with two clean goals.
The award was won by French legend Zinedine Zidane at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, despite his loss against Italy by penalty kicks, and the award was given in the World Cup in South Africa in 2010 to a player who did not participate in the final, as it was awarded to the captain of the Uruguay national team, Diego Forlan, who won fourth place with Celeste, and FIFA did not give up on Her habit of giving the award to the loser when she gave it to Argentine legend Lionel Messi in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, which Germany won 1-0.
