The victory comes with a caveat: the award is based on a fan vote o Twitter, and Chicharito has one of the most rabid social media followings in soccer. Basically, if he has a good enough month to be nominated for the award, he's going to win. I mean, he got 63 percent of the vote! He's good, but that is a Ludicrous number.
In two games for Bayer Leverkusen this month, Chicharito scored two goals, giving him 21 in all competitions and 13 in the Bundesliga this season. He's fourth-lading scorer in the German league, behing Thomeas Muller, Robert Lewandowski and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
