CCTV5 program list (January 31, 2024) reported that the group stage of the European Cup has ended and entered the knockout stage. All teams are struggling for the championship, and all players are striving for personal honor. The most striking one is the competition for the best shooter of the European Cup. This award is the highest affirmation of players' scoring ability, It is also a symbol of personal honor of players. What are the selection rules of the best shooter in the European Cup? Let's explain in detail.
The selection rules of the best scorer in the European Cup are mainly based on the number of goals scored by players in the whole game. The more goals scored, the higher the ranking. If two or more players have the same number of goals, the ranking will be based on the following criteria:
- The number of assists is the number of times players create scoring opportunities for their teammates in the game. The more assists, the higher the ranking.
- Efficiency is the player's playing time in the game. The less playing time, the higher the ranking.
- Red and yellow cards, that is, players' violations in the game. The fewer red and yellow cards, the higher the ranking.
- Draw lots, that is, if the above criteria are unable to determine the winner or loser, the ranking will be determined by drawing lots.
According to these rules, we can see that the selection of the best shooter in the European Cup not only examines the players' ability to score goals, but also examines the players' ability to assist and efficiency, which can more comprehensively evaluate the players' performance and avoid the influence of some accidental factors, such as penalty kicks or own goals.
