Footballers Who Ruined Their Careers In Seconds
Footballers Who Ruined Their Careers In Seconds
Footballers Who Ruined Their Careers In Seconds
Not really seconds, but what comes to my mind is Loris Karius in the UCL Final, Liverpool vs Real Madrid.. it seems that he disappeared after that game
He's doing alright, being at Newcastle is decent
@@Vizeh The fact that he still plays football is a feat in itself, it's frightening how cruel people can be
@@Vizehyeah but he’s a 3rd keeper. Which is essentially a death sentence for a goalkeeper that still wants to play, almost all teams’ 3rd keepers are either academy players or home grown near retirees. Hell Pope has been injured for half a year nearly and yet Karius has barely had a game.
I feel sorry for Karius. I don’t think he’d ever be as good as Alisson, maybe he’d be as good as Kelleher. But I really feel sorry for him, as a Liverpool fan and as a goalkeeper, it’s really shame that those mistakes came in the champions league final. If that was in some league cup or just a league game, I’m pretty sure everyone would go easier on him
@@oskarlewandowski4592he was dreadful his whole spell at liverpool and he consistently dropped us points in the run up to the final. He was crap
Gio Dos Santos was such a frustrating case because he had everything to succeed and he just squandered it away. His wondergoal against the USA will forever be his peak.
That was incredible man!
We had him on loan at Ipswich and he was ridiculous
This mindset plagues mexican players even to this day. Which is sad because mexico HAS the pieces to be a powerhouse football nation. But a core issue is lack of discipline.
@@anthonylong9067very true and it makes me sad because it’s difficult to have pride over my country if they struggle so much when they really shouldn’t
@@inferno890 i play it at a high competitive level and there are tons of leagues here in the bay area of California with mexican players. All these good quality players are also surrounded by some questionable influences. For instance, i brought a player into my club who said he was top quality. He didnt last an entire match because he was fatigued from partying the night before. It also doesnt help when players show up late to matches and dont warm up. I get it. It’s sunday league. But you still got high levels of competition in it. Basically this mindset affects every facet of thousands of mexican footballers week in and week out in both high level and casual levels of the game.
I can see the thought on Coutinho, though. But think he's fine with it tbh. being a Spain and Germany champion, and Champions league winner. Think many would take that. Prob his motivation went down after that.
As someone from Costa Rica I cant help but mention Joel Campbell he joined Arsenal at the age of 19 even rejecting a move to Man United and after several loans he was playing in Mexico at the age of 27 and now at 31 he’s back home. He was brilliant at times like in the 2014 World Cup and had some decent loan spells at Betis and Olympiakos.
I didn’t realize he was so young during that World Cup and when he signed for Arsenal, honestly a bit sad he ended up at Leon and Monterrey at such a young age, at least he got paid tho, clubs like Monterrey in Mexico pay A LOT in wage.
The one player that always come to my mind when similar lists are made is Mario Balotelli. He had his problems outside and inside of the pitch but he also had the potential to be one of Italy's best strikers of the 21st century. He was a beast on FIFA 14 as well.
Mario isn’t someone I look back and think he wasted his career and potential. He won a lot of silverware and was a very good player (although not world class). Despite his off pitch shenanigans he can be pretty proud of his career in my view.
I really remember him only for the memes from the match with Germany and that assist to Agueroooo. Can't remember anything else from him and if he wasn't meme legend, maybe we would have forgotten him till now. He is way more famous just with the memes and all the problems around him, then with what he did on the pitch.
Offtopi
Balloteli never had the talent to be consistently world class despite any attitude.. If anything his attitude made his talent to be seen more than it actually was..
Tanguy Ndombele would legit be top 5 midfielders in the world if he laid off the McDonalds and put hardwork in.
Kalvin Phillips was great at Leeds he just needs to find his way again
Hope he ends up back there tbf
Guardiola completely shattered that man's confidence. He's been nothing short of dreadful at West Ham. Just check what West Ham fans have to say about him in r/Hammers. Still, I struggle to sympathize for any player who decides to play for a club like Man City, PSG or even Chelsea.
@@TheForeskingI understand the not being able to sympathise, I'm an arsenal fan and the one thing I hate most is big money clubs(not that we aren't one,just you can't really compare us to the likes of man City lol)
This title doesn’t fit this video at all
Yup these are all very slow descents
This was before my time but Sebastian Deisler was seen as Germany's new big talent in the early 2000s. Injuries and severe depression destroyed his confidence. I think he retired in his 20s while at Bayern saying "I don't have what it takes. This life isn't for me." I think if the weight of expectations weren't as immense, it would've worked out differently. "I was 19, 20, when the Germans believed I could save their football on my own." - Sebastian Deisler
Basti Fantasti. Hero of my childhood.
@@pattamon9432 as someone who has seen him play, how would you describe his style/talent?
@@weilim10 Elegant, Technical gifted. Explosive.
I’d also say players like bojan krkic,Alexandere pato,Jessie Lingard or Paul pogba that had ALOT of hype around them before they fell off for their own reason’s.
Alex Pato is a great shout!
I remember Alexandre Pato and his disastrous penalty against Grêmio, the entire Corinthians team wanted to kill him after that XD
Pato had terrible injuries
Pato had terrible injuries, Paul was unwilling to play his defensive duties at man utd (specially since Bruno came in as a 10, which made even more important for pogba to help defend)
And I think a good vid idea would be the best “1 season wonders” or the best “streets will never forget” players I’d love to see a video like that
"Ruined their careers in seconds", goes on to highlight player issues persisting for years until eventually nobody wanted them. Mate your content is top notch, no need to clickbait, here I thought that these people were caught snorting coke off club toilets or sum shit like that.
Michael Johnson at Man City was tipped as future England captain, retired at 24 😔
and Adam Johnson :) the nonce. and Rodwell
oscar is a big one for me since ive been a chelsea fan my whole life. seeing him leave for money was one of my biggest upsets for the club.
My 2nd favourite player of all time. But I don't think he belongs in this video because all these players accidentally ruined their careers while Oscar knew exactly what he was getting himself into by moving to China 💰
What an amazing vid viz watched the whole thing in the first min. Keep up the great work.
That's some good effort
Bro watched simultaneously on 15 different screens
@@Vizeh I’ve watched 4 times now just looping the video. Your vids bring me more joy than Juve rn.
The seconds between hazard signing for madrid he was gonna win a ballon dor but flopped it
Main player who I’ve surprised you didn’t add was Adriano. The career he could of had if his father didn’t pass away when he did
His father passing away wasn't his fault though, can't blame a man for that but you're right that he could have been one of the best
@@glencurtis6052 his head was gone the moment his dad left this Earth bro, some time before his most serious injuries
Can you blame him for that though? No, not at all@@testadalord01432
Would love to see a video focusing on dele alli as he is quite a confusing player with a confusing background
I've done a video on him already to be fair, don't think ones needed at this moment
Nile ranger definitely comes to mind, given so many chances and was quality but just kept ruining it for himself. Always a disappointing story to hear
I’m from Newcastle and believe me, the stories in the press about him barely scratch the surface…
Check out the podcast crime in sports they did 2 hours on his extra Curricular activities
3:50 Tbf, his father was also a footballer. He even played for America as well. But the same thing could still apply to Giovanni. In a way, once you reach fame, you see football differently. And as a Mexican American it still hurts me he didn’t reach his full potential
Thanks for the great content Vizeh, always a pleasure seeing your videos. Also, If they are French speakers over here Id also recommend the youtuber "VALFOOT", he also does alot of "footballers who ruined their careers" videos and really good analysis about players/clubs/teams journeys.
One player I can't get over is Nile Ranger bro had it all at Newcastle but with troubles with the law and huge attitude problem he went to Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday on loan then started bouncing between L1 and L2 teams until landing in the National League, sad to see someone have it all and then they throw it away
Coutinho won a treble mate scoring and assisting in that semi final too cmon guys
Hi Viz, great vid always gonna be a banger. I would recommend talk about the Ghana national team. We have the players but our FA is corrupt and keep using the older players instead of the new younger and better ones. Hope you read this. Love from Ghana🇬🇭🇬🇭
Honestly, that was way more delicately handled than I thought it would be. Compliments!
That greece player which celebrated a goal with a, hmmm, questionable gesture, and was banned.
Part 2 for Paul Pogba, Adam Johnson, Bojan and Pato. Moise Kean maybe 😂
Moise keane jesus that's a shout
@@Vizeh Lingard to Forest and even Seoul
moise kean is 24 mate, he's not even in his prime yet
U missed van der vart....😂
Stephan El Shaarawy as well… he was Fifas golden boy back in the early 2010’s
i miss coutinho. i remember when i bought PES 2019 with coutinho on the cover of it. and he was my idol since i was a kid but i cant say i can idolize him anymore., but i can still say he has a place in my heart and will always be one of my top 5 or 10 favourite footballers
Man i havent heard of Giovanni Santos in years. My mom was such a big fan of him when he played for Mexico
It’s sad to see all these legends fall from grace
I didn’t hear anything about Forlqn after the Jabulani World Cup, or anyone from that Ghana team
peter odemwingie comes to mind on this subject for me. Tried forcing a move from West Brom to QPR on deadline day even though the offer wasn’t accepted. Never was same since
I'm surprised Adel Taarabt isn't on this list but i guess he did sort of claw it back at Benfica later on
I did see him but I did think he made it better near the end
@@Vizehdon’t lie. You have picked the most basic of basic players that have fucked things up, everyone knows about these guys. Put a bit more than 5 minutes of research into your uploads. Receding hair line mug.
When Ravel came to Derby it really did seem he matured as a person and definitely showed his quality and what he’s capable of
Messi was the best 14 year old I’ve ever seen
Greenwood had a kid with the women in the audio 😂💀
And?
I’m a massive Barcelona fan and a massive Coutinho fan. That being said, I think our signing of Coutinho was one of the dumbest signings in history. He likes to have the freedom to roam, drop into the middle of the park, play long balls, and carry the ball in and out of the wide spaces. Who else does that? The one and only Lionel Andres Messi. They could never work in a system together. Had we signed Coutinho after Messi left, I think it could’ve been a massive success. Messi needed out and out wingers, and unfortunately (for both parties), that’s never been Phil :(
Berahino man. So talented he was
Look at some of the other players at 3:28 Christian Atsu caught my eye in particular
lol as a mexican gio case is prob the most known yet is common for alot of our players. So much wasted talent over the years
Can't believe you didnt show ravels solo goal for west ham against spurs. As a west ham fan I will never forget that one, a wassted telant indeed.
Saido Berahino damn that's a name i haven't heard for years
Ben Arfa, Oscar and James Rodriguez should be in there
Oscar doesn't belong in this video because all these players accidentally ruined their careers while Oscar knew exactly what he was getting himself into by moving to China 💰
Can't help but think of Sandro Tonali setting himself WAY back by the age of 23. It also seems like Marcelo Flores made a bad call going from a possible contract extension with Arsenal to Tigres in Mexico.
omg as an albion fan ive been waiting for a Saido story for a while!
As a Chelsea fan, I'd say Hudson Odoi and ross barkley, but it wasn't really their own fault.
Love these vids
if there's a part 2, i'd recommend nicolas anelka, the man who threw it all away with a hand gesture
Not sure if you'll see this but thauvin ended his career after moving to tigres... I bet you didn't know he's back in europe currently playing for udinese
As a villa fan I'm gutted about courtinho..... that's the most I've ever been excited by a signing
As a Galaxy fan Giovani was frustrating. His inconsistency was infuriating. He string together like 2-3 good games and then nothing (I forgot he was actually injured a couple times cause he’d have so little impact)
so Ravel Morrison didn't have the work ethic of Paul Pogba or Jesse Lingard? Damn that's saying something!
Could u do a video on Mario Balotelli . One of my favourite players when I was younger but just seemed to dissappear. Still always sign him on fifa career mode
Also Escobar the Colombian defender that got killed for an unlucky own goal
Berahino was decent for us (swfc) but always looked like he needed a big man next to him to deal with the stronger defenders as he’d lost a yard of pace
12:41 “we’ve all heard the audio so it’s baffling he’s still playing” is it? is it really? what do you think actually happens in that audio? not raping her that’s for sure. he pressures her for sex and gets angry when he can’t get his way but that’s not the same as actual rape. not to analyse a crime too much but you can rape someone without saying anything. and in case you didn’t notice he was suspended for 18 months and is widely hated. it’s not like Thomas Partey where the allegations came out and he just carried on playing like nothing happened. I’m not defending him but people are having their emotions swayed by that audio too much, he doesn’t rape her in it, that’s the fact. we actually don’t have evidence at he raped her at all. the images are more damning actually, because he’s obviously hit her. but to say it’s baffling that he’s still playing after that evidence came out - it actually isn’t, you just want to maintain a pure and idealistic view of football that these types of characters aren’t in it. footballers are not role models - they are stars, which is an important difference. you don’t have to be a nice person to succeed in football. you just have to be good at football. everyone wants to pretend otherwise but the Greenwood case just shoved it all in our faces that that’s not true.
What a moronic thing to say that a player ruined his career when all they did was not live up to the early hype that hundreds upon thousands of players get
Seriously man? I expected football scandals or smth. The perfect fit for this video was Mario Götze, who ruined his career with the world cup goal (Public pressure, expectations, too much hype for him to handle at that age etc).
Has a Belgian hearing him say Zulte Waregem is something.
I think an interesting topic for another video would be players who got their careers ruined through no fault of their own. And I don't mean cases like Roberto Baggio or Marco Reus who despite all the odds had great careers and we just wonder what more could they achieve with functioning bodies (Baggio would have page-jacked the Matrix I'm sure). Just heartbreaking stories of complete failure (although it may be a bit depressing)
A somewhat "lighthearted" suggestion for a future video: why not make a tier-list with the clubs you like and the ones you hate, regardless of country?
Berahino has a chant by the Albion fans that I won't say but it is to the tune of Hey Lady. But I remember going to Molienux as a West Brom fan to watch him play for England U21's alongside Harry Kane he scored and wasn't booed. Gareth Southgate asked the Molienux crowd not to boo him.
As a Mexican seeing gio dos santos hurts as he had so much potential
We've all heard the audio but just a quick reminder that the "victim" is still with him and even gave birth to his child, so...
OSCAR … HULK ….. BOJAN ….. DENNNERRERR…. Especially DENER
I don't really care about the Greenwood case, but hearing an audio is NOT enough. I remember you guys doing the same with Johnny Depp, when Amber had bruises, everyone claimed it's all evidence you need. No, it's not enough.
Did he plead not guilty though?
Remember Brazilian Adryan? Was supposed to be the next big thing but ended up being a flop when he came to the Championship
I would say Ever Banega,his attitude cost him big,his link up with Messi at the 2010 and 2014 World Cup was good. And Alejandro Papu Gomez although peaked after 29 and won world cup with Argentina ruined his career. His combination with Ilicić at Atalanta BC was epic until he disrespected Gasperini and now is banned for 3 years from football after drug test. Got himself early retirement.
Maybe not all of them are applicable, but I can think of a number of other players who didn't necessarily reach the peak they were anticipated to reach: Andy Carroll Yoann Gourcuff Zakaria Bakkali Hachim Mastour Jese Rodriguez Alen Halilovic Jorge Valdivia (the Chilean Ronaldinho) I think it's also a matter of time until Guendouzi joins that list.
I also forgot Marco Fabian from Mexico and Pione Sisto from Denmark! The latter had a fantastic campaign for Denmark in the 2018 WC, but then his career derailed after he joined some cult.
During the 2014/15 season I thought saido berahino was going to be the next big thing so frustrating he got in his own way.
The thing with mason is his wife literally forgave him gave him a family are married he fix with life why would y’all still attack him yes he doesn’t deserve to be in a big team but come on
Not a man utd fan or getefe fan
You know victims come back, right?
@@filippobrunone1717 oh pls bro
What he did was disgusting, just because she decided to stay with him doesn't mean that everyone else should forgive and forget
@@filippobrunone1717 yeah but still if it was that bad she wouldn’t have stayed with him. Everybody have a free choice of Will and she decided to stay with him.
As a dutch person i instantly thought of ihattaren.
Another masterpiece from you Liam.🙌
Cheers mate
Aubameyang when he got that new contract for Arsenal, Alexis Sanchez to Man United were also huge fall offs
Coutinho still hurts me, he fitted flicks system to a T, pain Barca wanted so much atm for him
For me the biggest talent I’ve seen at my club was Jese . That ACL injury ruined him and after that he had problems with his partner, he missed training sessions at psg , completely ruined himself shame :(
I read almost all the comments and noone mentioned Adrian Mutu. edit: also Micah Richards.
5:16 “the best 14 year old he’s ever seen” 🤨🤨🤨
Come on now
Ah..mason greenwood... Tipped to be England's kane replacement... Now, after 'that' he will never get selected.
Everyone likes to clown on footballers showing hung over to training and getting in trouble. But you know what, I'm not a hypocrite, I show up hung over to my job all the time. Good for them. They are living life. Legends.
I saw the title and i thought "oh yeah Loris Karius"
Dos santos was class at ipswich! Probably the best loan ive ever seen at town. Shame we couldnt buy him
I know these are some obvious shouts but the two that come to mind for me are Freddy Adu and Hatem Ben Arfa.
Adu was born a decade too early. If the USA has the soccer infrastructure such as the academies and such they do now, he would have been much better than Pulisic ever was.
should do a part two about players who went to china\saudi league
Great video
Slightly unfair on Coutinho who has still been a really good player. Nice to hear someone tell the truth about Mason Greenwood though.
Bojan Krkcic, an insane talent ruined by pressure
As a wolves fan bright enobakhare and Owen Otasawie were frustrating. Both had amazing potential but awful attitudes
Stephen El Shwawwy bothered that, Alex Pato, Robhino, Adan Juanzai
Charly musonda and zakaria bakali
Dele ali comes to mind
Neymar could’ve been one of if not the best player of all time but he’s in Saudi Arabia at 31
Imo I wouldn't say Giovanni ruined his career, he went of his own volition to la galaxy which, while definitely not at the same level as Villarreal, was one of the strongest clubs in north America at the time, asides from the fact that Los Angeles is both close to his birth nation of Mexico and has a significant Mexican population, which I'm sure were significant factors for the signing (as well as, of course, the wages). Footballers are humans too and sometimes it makes sense to lower your level. Glaring omission in my opinion would be Karius, who in 90 minutes went from promising talent to laughing stock
A player that should have been a top talent for the Ballon D'or, in which he was at one point ending his career at 29 pretty much is a shame mate
@@Vizeh Considering what happened to wonderkids of a similar level who went on to be massive flops (for example Ravel Morrison) I'd say he had a pretty damn respectable career as a key man for both club and country. Regarding his exit from football at 29, I'd guess that is probably related to the injury that he sustained at America, and while a shame, it is unfortunately a part of the sport
@@VizehsHoUlD hAvE 🤪
Somehow i forgot Coutinho played for Bayern Munchen
Seeing gio dos Santos on this is heartbreaking 😔
Rolando Aarons springs to mind. He was supposed to be a talent for Newcastle
Don't know if you can consider Philippe Coutinho as one of the biggest flops with the others. 3 league titles, a Champions league and 68 caps for Brazil. Sure he's gone downhill but harsh to throw him with Morrison and Berahino. 🤣
Gio dos santos is arguably one of the best mexican players for the national team. he didn’t ruin his career, he just didn’t fully live up to his potential
if you're the best player in your national team and you're playing in MLS in your early mid 20's after starting out in the best clubs in Europe, you done fucked up your career.
@@tomatoisnotafruit5670 i’m saying his career wasn’t a total failure. nationally he’s seen as a hero and one of the best to play for el tri. his club career is a different story. these two things aren’t mutually exclusive, both can be true at the same time
@@MarcosGarcia-pj3pq yeah it's not a total failure, but he is not an average skill player. He had a very high talent and could have been one of the best players in the world similar to Neymar and he squandered that away for what? sex, booze and drugs?
@@tomatoisnotafruit5670 and that’s exactly what i said. i said he didn’t live up to his full potential. learn how to read and comprehend
@@MarcosGarcia-pj3pq he didn't live up to his full potential, and he also ruined his career. both can be true and in his case both are true.
Harry Kewell going from Leeds to Liverpool. Sir Alex wanted him at UTD instead he went to liverpool and groin injuries completely ruined him. He was so good at Leeds
Shit manager though.
These weren’t overnight
Yeah, awful title
We haven't all heard the audio. Everyone makes mistakes including you.
Lingard balotelli has to be in there
