Manager was subbing him in at the 89th min or so to hold a 2 x 1 lead and Marcelo said something to him that pissed him off. So he sent Marcelo back to the bench and subbed someone else in. Here is a good video.

Not sure what's going on with Marcelo in his life but he has had some behavior with fans that makes him look like a dick. Some fan at the airport was taking a picture with him and put his arm around Marcelo (a bit normal in Brazil) and he reacted pissed telling the fan to not touch him. There was another video going around with some kids wanting to take a picture with him and he took a long time to take the picture ... but he basically stood a couple of meters behind the kid and told him to take the picture with some security around them. Not sure what the context was, but it was a bad look. Everybody thinks he is arrogant who feels superior to everyone else.

 

Kroos didn't even get voted for German player of the year back when he deserved it. Got it out of pity and embarrassment the next.

 

Using the same argument: Portugal won the Euro without Ronaldo.

Honestly, Rodri is an excellent player and they are missing his influence all over the field.

We shouldn't completely lose sight of what is going on just because of the Balon d'Or controversy. It feels completely immature and idiotic.

Even if Vini would've won the award, Rodri is an absolute game changer for City.

 

All I know is City look half as organized without him. It's a completely different team.

 

That's your opinion, which strikes me as incredibly familiar because "all Schubkarren Toni ever did was pass sideways" was so common that i never thought we'd do it to another player out of spite.

You can't sit and tell me for weeks that nobody cares about these awards then tell me Rodri isn't a top player with a straight face without it being tied to this ridiculous ball out of wax coated with gold spray.

I don't really compare players in such different positions on the field directly (hence why i felt it was ridiculous when Ronaldo's family cult did against Modric), but Rodri is an elite player who's influence is missing all over the place.

 

James doesn't have the attitude. There were rumors that he was missing training, turning up late, the usual thing he did at Bayern all the way up to Greece for Olympiacos as well, and the coach responded with "everybody is equal here, nobody is special" and you knew it wouldn't work out.

Him and Marcelo were blatantly phoning it in and just cashing out of the sport in Greece which is a huge shame for their status in the sport.

 

The difference is that with the national team you don't train, you just play. There's a game every two days anyway so the training schedule is practically just light work and physio. Also, being in the same team hotel makes it difficult to just not turn up or turn up late. You're practically already there.

In a club setting, there's actual training going on. It's hard to justify to a full roster of players that a player plays ahead of them that doesn't even bother in training.

 

I am literally shaking right now.
