Oh yea u are right...those were the days we actually showed grinta! I remembered how fired up our players were. Even our midfield calm maestro Pirlo was raging on that day against those Celtic delinquent midfield!
Unfortunately, ever since Khedira joined Juve, we have lost all Grinta. And with the addition of Sissoko, we lost all footballing brains. Those two have really left a toxic air around us even after their departure.
It's just the way world is. In team sports, you get paid for showing up to training while being on 5 year contract but when it comes to individual sports, your paycheck is totally up to the results. Our players are just showing up to the training to collect that fat salary with no dignity. You can see the trend with these Martials, Pogba's, Rashford's, Berna's, Alex Sandro's, Dybala's etc. Full of nothing but individuals who are completely happy with what they have, knowing that they get paid regardless. Fucking Rashford is putting his time for making world a better place in the expense of his company he's working at(man utd) while sitting at 2+2 last 12 games or something. Pogba is on IG, Martial does not give a fuck and looks like he could take 2 year break from football at any given minute, Berna has been lost for years, Alex Sandro is playing for his family on Brazil and Dybala just can't ever get fit because it fucking sucks to put your body through intense training. It's way easier to cut down the jogging from 10 miles to 5, it's easier to cut the gym, cheat on the reps and never going out of your comfort zone, it just generally feels better when you're soft. That's what this world is full of, a soft individuals who are just showing up on the training and getting paid for doing nothing.
There's thousands of players doing that and the more you make, the softer you become. It ain't no wonder when Porto with hungry young talents who are trying to make their way up to the big paychecks are giving everything while we're already there.
