10 footballers you wouldn't want to fight with
Football is a game of respect and everyone should prioritise good sportsmanship before anything else. That is generally the motto of the sport which every footballer should proudly uphold. Easier said than done.With the intensity of the game comes heated moments where one can easily lose his cool and react without thinking about the consequences – be it out of anger, frustration or emotion, which in no way is justifiable. But it happens. And all these years, we have seen several players with short temperament easily lose control and commit themselves to unwanted confrontations, usually harmful to their reputation.In this list, we have sorted out those bad boys who have maintained their consistency in bullying or using harsh methods to take care of their opponents. And judging by their character, no one would want to mess with these guys. Here’s a look at 10 modern day footballers who shouldn’t be called to a fight.
#1 Sergio Ramos
Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has a reputation for his volatile temperament on the football pitch. During the course of a game, the Spanish international often commits to rash tackles and what’s scary is that most of the times he is well aware of what he is doing.
Even though we have seen Ramos change his game a lot recently and concentrate more on the technical aspects of defending, the broader definition of him being a notorious tackler is still hard to shrug off. And the record number of red cards doesn’t help his cause one bit.
Who can forget El Clasicos during the Jose Mourinho era at Real Madrid? The 28-year-old was involved in several physical clashes, surprisingly with his international teammates including Carles Puyol, Xavi, David Villa and more.
It’s quite apparent that he loses the power to recognise the person he’s having disagreements regardless of the fact that they may be someone familiar. This video shows how he can lose his cool very easily.
