5 players who never changed throughout their career
“I spit into the face of Time That has transfigured me.” W.B. Yeats, The RoseThis quote by the legendary author sums up what my piece is all about. We have seen many footballers who have more or less looked the same since they made their debut to the day they retired. Players like Ryan Giggs, Carles Puyol and Pele have stayed the same throughout their playing career while some have been the same throughout their lives. They emphasize the fact that you have to play good football in order to be a superstar and not actually be like a rockstar.Here are five active footballers who have been the same for the majority of their entire playing career.Note: The views expressed in this article are those of the author’s and do not reflect those of the site.
#1 Antonio Di Natale
The Udinese man is like a wine as he just got better with age. He still looks that kid who set Italian football ablaze in early part of post millennial decade.
The Italian international has always sported his soldier cut hair-style and his aeroplane celebration. To many of the young football fans, who must have started following him from Euro 2012 must be wondering how was he in his younger days. Well to their disappointment he was more or less the same as he is now, right from his days at Empoli youth academy.
Except he was a bit kiddish and not so world class then. He always let his football do the talking and not his appearances unlike his compatriot and fellow no. 9 Mario Balotelli, who is no stranger when it comes to weird fashion.
