That no. 7.......A certain Portuguese winger and his fans' sense never reach there. They are under the mighty illusion that they are competing with Lionel Messi.


And the no. 12.....any match the same Portuguese winger doesn't score, his silly emotions come to display. He'd rant over a not-too-good pass from his teammates, complain about an unnoticed foul committed by the opponent, dive at the slightest challenge, and worst of all, would slam a shot at someone's back and lie that the ball came off the person's hand, so as to attract a free penalty.

Football is a game of passion, not a game of hustle.

Elosky20:




having a fighting spirit and hunger for goal is a must have attribute of football.
afterall u will still complain if he fails to score. beside in football the end justifies the means. that was why suarez have to bite ivanovic to force his way to barca.

alexis007:
fighting spirit you say?and all he scores are tap-ins and penalties

hunger for goals? what kind of goals?..........what message does it send to football lovers out there that he could score more than 60 goals and yet his team would fail to win a single major trophy? Hunger for goals my foot. More like Obsession for goals. The goals would make more sense when they are really important enough to land the whole team a treble.

Your last point. The end justifies the means. Enough reason why close to half of one's goal tally should depend on penalties…..some of which were earned through dubious means?....And he covets the ballon d' ord?with such heavy dependence upon easy-made goals?.....Make a stronger argument next time.

The problem with the winger actually, is not in his style of play, but in his acts when the going is not so good. Sometimes you would think that he needs special and professional psychological assistance.

That certain Portuguese winger can buy you, your whole village & your entire generation. He would not even bat an eyelid.

Learn to appreciate peoples' success & stop grunting like a little piglet.

Since you're so good at analyzing soccer & all things related, why haven't you been employed by SuperSport, BEinSports & their likes?

Mental strength takes a long time to develop.
It is the daily practice of pushing yourself to grow stronger, maintaining realistic optimism, and setting healthy boundaries. Mentally strong people don't do things like waste time feeling sorry for themselves or give away their power to other people.
How do you know where you fall on the spectrum? The following 21 signs shows you're mentally stronger than average:

1. You balance emotions with logic. Mentally strong people understand how their emotions can influence their thinking. In an effort to make the best decisions possible, they balance their emotions with logic.

2. You choose productive behaviour. While it may be tempting to make excuses, complain about other people, and avoid difficult circumstances, mentally strong people refuse to waste time on unproductive activities

3. You feel confident in your ability to adapt to change. Mentally strong people know that although change is uncomfortable, it's tolerable. They focus their energy on adapting to change, rather than resisting it.

4. You face the fears that hold you back. While mentally strong people don't need to conquer fears because they have something to prove to others, they do strive to face the fears that hold them back.

5. You learn from your mistakes. Mentally strong people don't hide or excuse their mistakes. Instead, they learn from them.

6. You balance self-acceptance with self-improvement. Mentally strong people accept themselves for who they are, while simultaneously recognizing their need for personal development.

7. You genuinely celebrate other people's success. Mentally strong people cooperate — rather than compete — with those around them. They don't feel as though other people's success somehow diminishes their own achievements.

8. You are comfortable living according to your values. Mentally strong people make decisions with relative ease because they understand their priorities and they live according to their values.

9. You focus on sharpening your skills, rather than showing them off. While some people seek validation from others, mentally strong people are less concerned about gaining recognition. Instead, they're intrinsically motivated to become better.

10. You live an authentic life. Mentally strong people are true to themselves. Their words are in line with their behaviour.

11. You view life's hardships as opportunities for growth. While hardship causes some people to grow bitter, mentally strong people let adversity make them better.

12. Your self-worth depends on who you are, not what you achieve. Mentally strong people feel good about themselves, whether they win or lose.

13. You practice delayed gratification. Mentally strong people view their goals as a marathon, not a sprint. They're willing to tolerate short-term pain when it can provide long-term gain.

14. You bounce back from failure. Mentally strong people don't view failure as the end of the road. Instead, they use their failed attempts as opportunities to gain knowledge that will increase their chances of success in the future.

15. You're a realistic optimist. Mentally strong people are able to look for the silver lining and think on the bright side, but they don't allow their optimistic tendencies to blind them to reality.

16. You accept personal responsibility for your choices. Mentally strong people don't needlessly beat themselves up, but they do accept complete responsibility for their actions.

17. You express gratitude. Rather than exclaim they need more, mentally strong people acknowledge they have more than they need.

18. You focus on what you can control. Mentally strong people are effective and productive in life because they devote their resources to the things they can control.

19. You engage in active problem-solving. Mentally strong people don't dwell on the problem — instead, they create solutions.

20. You're open to learning more from all that surrounds you. Mentally strong people are constantly learning from their circumstances and the people they encounter every day.

21. You work on your weaknesses, rather than masking them. While many people work hard to disguise their vulnerabilities, mentally strong people invest their energy into improving their shortcomings.

Looks like you did not find anything that patterns to you in the post but you could see the weaknesses of others

Mentally strong people do not focus on or celebrate the weaknesses of others. They focus on theirs and want to improve on it (Rubyventures, 2015, no 21)

alexis007:
Thank you. Besides i noticed a weakness, not celebrate it.

Are we clear now?
