Imagine wanting to please people who get their dopamine hits from you being at your best.
You don’t get sucked into that world. That’s an unhealthy amount of pressure to invite onto oneself.
People don’t realize how deeply stan culture affects the very people they support.
They’re often blamed for their fans’ behaviour, even when it’s beyond their control. And if they are unfortunate to get sucked into their world, the pressure to keep fans happy becomes an undoing.

I think Ronaldo raises arm like that every time there is a goal (in celebration of the goal). Even long range shots where it’s illogical to assume he would be calling for an offside.
When Dibu held up that caricature Mbappe doll during Argentina’s World Cup parade, y’all were on Messi’s neck for not “controlling” his teammate. Now this guy’s own sister has been doing this nonsense for years, and suddenly “she’s an adult; she makes her own decisions.” 😅
🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister has liked an anti-Bruno Fernandes post on Instagram which says:
“Bruno Fernandes is a different player when he wears the national team jersey.
At the moment Portugal needs a leader the most, he disappears from the game and leaves the responsibility to others.
Great talent, a lot of media attention, but where is the decisiveness in the big moments?
The fans expect an exceptional player who steps up when the pressure mounts, not someone who vanishes when the game gets intense."
Getting rich and staying rich are opposite skills.
Getting rich takes optimism, risk and conviction.
Staying rich takes paranoia, humility and the willingness to look like a coward.
Most people who hit it big go broke because they keep using the skill that made the money to try to keep it, know which game you’re playing.
Money isn’t a separate game from life. It’s just the most measurable form of patience.
If you can’t be patient, no income will save you. If you can, no setback will end you.
🗣️ “[He] is the reason so many of you believed a Portuguese player could become the best in the world”
Because Figo played golf.
🗣️ “if [he] still had the legs, the speed, and the power he had in his prime, he would not need anyone”
Because Eder, Guedes, etc were ball boys.
Everyone “hates” your goat.
Every institution is against him.
Every media is against him.
Teammates are against him.
Opponents are against him.
Pundits are against him.
If he tripped and fell, you’d also add gravity to the list. Delusional people.
FROM Argentina having an “easy Copa America final” because they faced Colombia…
TO Colombia suddenly being the strongest team in your “group of death.”
Teams only become “good” when it helps your argument?
It’s not even Halloween and you all have become full blown clowns.
4 similiar challenges, 4 consistent consequences, No complaints from either teams, yet only one "controversy".
I wonder who exactly is calling it controversial?
Spain literally won one game in the entire 2018 World Cup.
They faced Portugal, Iran, Morocco and Russia, and their only win was a 1-0 over Iran.
Yet people keep talking about them in 2018 like it wasn’t one of their worst outings ever.
A lot of y’all have goldfish memories.
