I totaly agree with that bold statement there... We have bunch of losers who think they are the greatest player...
Technically I would say that they do not have the mentality. These can be due to 2 things:
1. They are plucked from the village hence with very little of everything and suddenly they see fame. They get big headed and no one to guide or control them.
2. They are really hopeless.
If we are to subscribe to matter 1 above, we actually have a lot of successful examples which we can learn from. Lets take one big example, the one that does not need to go to England for intensive training to be a world champion: Nicole David. Excelled in education, excelled in sports. We may argue that it is a lesser sport, this squash game, but nevertheless what are the ingredients:
1. Brains
2. Understanding of the sport itself - need brains too
3. Parents involvement. This would help keep the child/teenager foot firmly on the ground and not being lifted up. This needs brains too to understand the importance of keeping one's feet on the ground.
4. Character/ Attitude - focus and willing to work hard.
So after saying so much, only 2 things brains and attitude. Which sadly ALL our current footballers have NONE. So in other words, you put it damn right in 1 line what I tried to put in 5 entire paragraphs... kekekekeke...
