5 football superstars who show their cheeky sides quite often

Admit it! We all love that one player in the team who goes about the game doing cheeky stuff with the ball and off it, sending opposition players fuming and the audiences chuckling. At the end of the day, a game of football is meant to be as entertaining as it is meant to be result oriented. Audiences look out for players who do the extraordinary but worship the ones who do the extraordinary with swagger and make it look like another day at the office.Here’s a look at 5 players whose regular cheek on the ball can leave you chuckling all through a game.

#1 Luis Suarez

Luis Suarez wears his emotions on his sleeves.

By now, Luis Suarez has already established himself firmly as one of the top players on the planet. Having scored 37 times in 38 games this season with a further 14 assists, the Uruguayan has become the epitome of consistent performances filled with drive and desire. However, to the football fan who hasn’t watched him closely, the impudence and childish buzz of his overall game remains an unknown. Can anyone see him spend a game without having tried and pulled off a nutmeg or four? No, that doesn’t seem likely.

From nutmegging defenders at will and sending players the wrong way with a dribble to trying a shot at goal from 50 yards and succeeding, Luis Suarez will not have one game where he isn’t trying something cheeky. The man who plays like a child possessed on the field gives audiences many a laugh and draws many gasps from defenders and spectators alike. His cheekiness can mark him out as a goalkeepers’ and defenders’ nightmare; the sort that plays you twice in a season and haunts you for the rest of it, just ask Norwich City from a couple of seasons ago.
