Who is the most bad-tempered player in the Premier League (EPL)?
Britain’s ‘The Athletic’ wrote an interesting article on the 24th (Korean time). For each of the 20 clubs, it was to pick one player on the field who lacked sportsmanship. Players who deliberately provoked opponents, delayed the game, or did the same were selected.
Since it is about selecting a player who lacks sportsmanship, it is inevitable that there will be critical opinions about the player. However, one player was criticized beyond the level of criticism.
The main character was Liverpool’s key defender먹튀검증, Andrew Robertson. ‘The Athletic’ claimed that Robertson was Liverpool’s most mischievous character, saying “Robertson is not a true left-back full-back. He is a method actor. Robertson has spent his entire career as a stupid tackler for one reason or another. He is Martin Scorsese’s favorite. I might have wanted to appear in a movie,” he said sarcastically. Scorsese is known for his extremely dark film style.
Criticism from the media continued. “It’s fun to win, but what Robertson wants is critical praise. Maybe that’s why he threw Neymar in 2018, shaved Lionel Messi’s head off in 2019, and pushed Kyle Walker to billboards,” he added.
Robertson is one of the best full-backs in the world, but he can sometimes be over-competitive on the pitch. Robertson’s competitive spirit was also controversial in the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton in the 23rd round.
At the end of the second half, Robertson committed a handball foul while trying to press. Everton, who was precious even for a second, wanted to develop an attack immediately, and Robertson, who wanted to spend even a second, did not hand over the ball right away. Robertson kicked the ball into the center and Jordan Pickford ran and pushed it with his body. Robertson reacted by laughing at Pickford’s behavior. Eventually, this led to a serious battle of nerves between the two teams.
Except for Robertson, the players who were pointed out for sportsmanship were Everton’s Neil Mupay, Wolverhampton’s Diego Costa, and Fulham’s Alexander Mitrovic.
‘The Athletic’ is the only Chelsea player not selected as a rogue player. The reason was, “Chelsea is a luxury to waste time. They haven’t won enough games to waste time. There are not many rising players.”
