Fighting, partying, egocentric and violent. These are some of the characteristics of the most controversial football players in the history of football. Many of them were great stars who shone for their talent, but their personalities did not go unnoticed.
The self-centered ego of some players comes to the fore from time to time. The bad behavior of some athletes is nothing new to anyone, while that of others is surprising. Read on to find out which players have been negatively talked about during their careers. The less beautiful moments of the most watched game in the world:
1 – Paul Pogba
The Frenchman showed that he doesn't like Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho. But no one thought how petty he could be: an hour after the coach's departure, the player posted all his happiness on social media, later deleting the post.
2 – Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Sweden's Ibrahimović posted a rather self-centered tweet. In 2018, he welcomed basketball player LeBron James to Los Angeles by writing: 'Now Los Angeles has a God and a King! Zlatan welcomes @KingJames'.
3 – Antoine Griezmann
After winning the World Cup with France and the Europa League with Atlético Madrid, Antoine Griezmann gave a series of interviews where he suggested that he should be the winner of the Ballon d'Or, being the best player.
4 – Diego Costa
The Spanish-Brazilian is no stranger to anger. One highlight in 2018 was when he shouted at teammate Griezmann for siding with Barcelona's Samuel Umtiti (who is Griezmann's teammate on the French national team) during a match. Costa shouted: "I'm your teammate!"
