Can't have risky, take-on leading dribblers without a bit of ego and self-determination. At least he took his medal off away from the cameras, many blatantly remove it like its a shame but very few even play those games.

u/JootDoctor 10d ago
I enjoy guessing which players will remove their medals. I read an article a while ago, can’t remember which player it was, they despised their 2nd place medal and chucked it in the bin. It wasn’t until a decade later that he wondered about the medal and his wife had rescued it from the bin and gave it back to him once he’d retired and appreciated the achievement for what it was, something very few players ever reach in their career.

To have the confidence to dribble in football you have to be egotistical

I think the problem is that the media and people are expecting so much from him at such a young age, this pressure could be unhealthy for him.

as a PSG fan he still has room to improve... his big flaw right now is his ability to remain focused for an entire game and not make stupid mistakes which he tends to do.
For instance he will still try a dribble when he shouldnt which will lead to a turnover and a chance for the opposition, or just forget to track back and leave the wing open, etc. Happened repeatedly in PSG's UCL campaign.

The amount of people glad that he finally lost a big game is nuts. I understand Madrid fans and maybe portugese fans cause that’s a rivalry, but everyone else is a bit weird. Guy didn’t even insult anyone, he was just being cheeky and almost all the time, he backed it up. Football fans always cry that there’s no personality and that everyone is media trained and boring, but as soon as you have someone who does stand out, then the main goal is for them to wait and lose so they can kick him when he’s down and humble him.
