Nope its not, now he has the second highest amount of assists in Serie A, 8 assists (fini 10). And now he is a bit of a ballhog because he is very simpleminded, his decision making is bit straight forward, as in he is only wired to go straight at players, I dont think its something he does entirely deliberate, just the way he is.
But that tourno, he was OVERDOING it so deliberately it was insanely ridicolous, made it pretty obvious it was ME ME ME, and how he would impress however had the biggiest money bag around. I kid you not, he pretty much never passed the ball, and was screaming for it whenever he didnt have it.
