Talking about the "tie" mentioned by Wang Tao, we can't help but recall the fierce competition for the Golden Ball Award in 2018. At that time, C Luo lost to Modric, but Modric's Golden Ball Award votes were only 753 points, while C Luo had 476 points. Amazingly, in the first half of the year, Crowe and Modric belonged to the same club and won the Champions League together. However, Crowe was resentful of this and felt he was denied the Ballon d'Or on the grounds that he won the La Liga Silver Boot, La Liga second, Champions League title, Champions League Golden Boot, World Cup Round of 16, and a hat-trick against Spain that year.
While Crowe and Modric have similar club honors, Modric has an additional major honor - World Cup runner-up. He led the unheralded Croatian team to the World Cup final and ultimately finished as runners-up. In addition, Modric won the World Cup Ballon d'Or, after winning the World Cup Golden Ball, UEFA Player of the Season and World Footballer of the Year. At the time, many believed Modric had taken the Ballon d'Or from Crowe, when the honor should have belonged to Crowe himself.
However, as of now, this year's Ballon d'Or selection hasn't generated too much controversy, with the controversy centered on Levan, not Crowe. Therefore, Crowe's behavior on social media is really hard to understand.
