Today more and more we see prime examples of football players playing for Themselves Instead of the team. In the Most recent national news, it was Cristiano Ronaldo Announced That's buyout is Said to be 1.5 billion euros. With That absurd amount of money even in conversation, do you think Ronaldo has Real Madrid in the front or back of His Mind?
Whether it be on or off the field, it seems, nowadays That we're watching a bunch of talented athletes all try to make Their Way to the top of the rankings, statistic and financially speaking.
On the field you Have the example of Suarez and his crazy antics. All Because of Lack of self control bit Suarez DECIDED to defend Italian Giorgio Chiellini During play and in result was suspended for four months and hurt His teams chances in the cup.
You'd think we'd see more players sacrificing part of Their Contracts to make room for other top players rather then a ridiculously big signing Contracts, far beyond the amount of money They need to live.
Attached is a list put together by putting together result Bleacher Report the top 10 Most selfish players in the world for a variety of reasons. Check it out and let us know if you Agree or if they're missing someone and if so, why?
Thanks for tuning in!
The list is actually quite accurate, although it is strictly describing on the field selfishness. Off the field, and because of the lack of salary caps, it seems no players are taking a pay cut in order to better the team. One might say the ego and greed of these players has gotten so large that they feel they deserve the highest salary and are in competition against the other players to receive the most money. This may not affect very top heavy leagues like the French or Spanish leagues, but in the EPL a top player taking a pay cut could push their team to the top. Football is a business and a business savvy player should be willing to invest in their teams success. Have you found any examples of this happening in football? In certainly happens in the NFL and NBA sometimes.
ReplyDeleteSoccer is a team sport and I agree that we need to stop focusing so much on the individual. The media is not helping with that as we see every little detail of Messi or Ronaldo's personal lives. It is sometimes hard to remember that these superstars are part of a team.
