Football can be a brutal sport, particularly when it comes to business. Making it to the top of the world's highest peaks is never easy, but being a little selfish will help you get there—on and off the pitch.

It is not uncommon for footballers to become a bit selfish whether they take more shots than their teammates, be a fox in the box striker or learn to turn into their own brand online, via television or spontaneously. With teams that are both in charge of and demand large wages for players in today's money-saturated market, the choice of such players can also be advantageous. After example, it would be absurd to suppose that footballers are purchased for their soccer skills simply since they are often sold so that a team can access a global market or even recover money via mass sales of jersey.
Housing greedy footballers would be a nightmare, on the other hand. If a player thinks that he is stronger than the club, then this will eventually lead to chaos and fierce battles. Not only this, but a refusal to work as a team, shoulder the weight and play properly would result in supporters, managers, even owners giving up the endeavor. Over the years, several true divas and egoistic personalities have thanks the beautiful game, but some have stuck out more clearly than others, so I want to build the most memorable list. So sit back and enjoy the journey, and don't forget to let me know if you believe I have forget about anybody in the comment area that was or is particularly selfish.
15. Kevin Mirallas
In particular, Evertonians appear to love this pick. The Belgian international is certainly talented, but at Goodison Park there were times when he simply couldn't carry his weight adequately. He was a bit egoistic about the chances that he would miss, take too many shots without scoring and don't appear in important games to give his all. One example is when regular spot-kick taker Leighton Baines missed the penalty against West Bromwich Albion, after being stripped of her duties. The Toffees were at the time in danger of being led into a relegation battle, and his mistake added to their difficulties. During the 2015/16 season, fans will hope for a speedy turnaround.
14 Roy Keane
In some sections of the Republic of Ireland, complaining about Roy Keane is considered a blasphemy. The now retired captain of Manchester United is supposed to be assistant coach of the Irish national team, a post which appeared unimaginable back in 2002 when the star of Cork battled with Mick McCarthy in Saipan during his World Cup qualification campaign. Since then, public opinion has almost uniformly divided on how it should be viewed: some see him as a selfish coward, while others see him as a national treasure that stood up to believe in him. "Keano" returned home and did not compete in the event after being troubled by the pitch circumstances under which he was requested to coach the Green Army. It's a familiar story, but it showed how self-destructive it was. When you combine this with his drunkenness, it's obvious that he often went through his sports career without considering how it would influence the team's cohesion. It might be said the same way he departed Old Trafford – or perhaps Villa Park – before he had to.
13 Emmanuel Adebayor
When he rushed up the pitch in Eastlands for a headline goal after scoring Manuel Almunia in 2009, Adebayor angrily infuriated Arsenal fans to the point of rocket firing. His acts indicated how egoistic his business with Arsene Wenger's staff could be on a greater scale. He was almost indifferent how his petulance could harm stewards or other spectators who could have been gravely wounded during or after the altercation. He could otherwise see a chance to mislead them and grasp them in one of the most harmful and self-centered ways possible.
12 Berbatov
In the 2010-11 Premier League season, Dimitar Berbatov was the first Manchester United Player to score three hat-tricks in one season since Ruud Van Nistelrooy. It was the culmination of years and hard work, but it also demonstrated what the mostly low-key scorer could do when he became greedy. The Bulgarian was at the pinacle of his career. In short, while he was arrogant, it always paid off for his squad – but his results were also disadvantaged. He is often missing from the defensive side of the game of a team and forgets to help him track back. This is not to imply that he does not help, especially as coaches often exploit his height to defend setups. Indeed, Berbatov's slow approach is arguably the most frequent mistake in football. This is not the case, but the idea of a strange bout of selfishness is not excluded.
11 Eto’o
There's no doubting that in his long career Eto'o has done plenty. The Cameroonian saw the peak of the game with multiple trophies, and although he is clearly close to the end of his career, his three UCL medals and its four African Player of the Year accolades cannot be missed. Without his uncompromising attitude he would not have accomplished anything, but it does not imply that he has not ruled a few feathers through the years. In fact, both Roberto Carlos and Maicon, who led him at Anzhi Makhachkala, have commented on how weird Eto'o can be when he plays exclusively for himself "He has a part of him who believes in the incredibly dangerous 'I, not the team' It's weird and disturbing if a soccer player is more interested in signing up than in playing. He wants to sign his friends players..."
10 Nani
When Nani joined Manchester United in 2007, many people thought that he would be the next Cristiano Ronaldo. It was said that he held a special space for him in his heart. After all, they were both Portuguese, enjoyed playing on the wings and emanated more than a touch of hell. Sadly, although he shared one of his main characteristics — egotism — he never grew to the level of his countryman. He was a mixed mixture of ups and downs. In the 2010-11 season, he had every player's most Premier League support. However, if the chips were down, he could also implode himself. However, he could not contribute sufficient dignity to the ethic of his squad, and it is not surprising that he's on Fenerbahce books today, a team that recently failed to qualify for qualifying at the Champions League.
9 Mario Balotelli
Balotelli displayed way too much of his low-key side as an inconsistent attacker in comparison to his show stop theaters. Of all, "Super Mario" did give fans and charity a lot of money in his day, so it's a bit unfair to term him impolite, but he more often plays for himself on the pitch. In fact, the former teammate Adel Taarabt, who is seen by many as a figure of disdain, has in the past made no secret of the Italian's sentiments: "I played with him and could show his ability, but as a world-class player he didn't strike me. He's got a tremendous shot, but not for the team."
8 Ibrahimovic
When Ibrahimovic has told you about the list of smart one-liners in the past, it's almost second to crack a smile. The skilled Swedish international who is selfish has created more headlines than he cares to recall, a skilled, if selfish, player who's as good at scoring goals as he's at showing the media what they want to hear. But he could be a bit too greedy to meet. His quarrels with former managers and others have reduced his employment in various clubs. In fact, while he was at Camp Nou with Barcelona, he lost a lot of his charm since his team ethic is lacking. Fortunately, he has learned from his shortcomings, and now he is a much more balanced football enthusiast worldwide.
7 Robinho
Robinho was in many ways the celebrity we all knew about, but never saw thriving. His is a long-standing commitment he never made, a story which should have ended differently, much sooner. Unfortunately he's in the books of Guangzhou Evergrande who has spent his first years at some of the most prominent clubs in the world. He was too busy pulling tricks and walking around corners with the ball he could not stop, a shining performer, so he was too concerned with stages and flicks and tricks to think of teammates in better situations. His egotism was regularly reprimanded by fans from Manchester to Milan, and though in his later years he gained responsibility it's fair to say that he would never be the great player that many people had expected of him.
6. Ronaldinho
In 2005, Ronaldinho was elected the world's best player. Football fans around the world were beaten by the former international Brazil who introduced some magical touch and samba talent to almost every defense he ever met. At that time, he was a Barcelona player, but now he's back in Brazil, far from being in the globe. In fact, "Dinho's" quick degeneration was because of his failure to overcome personal failings, such as his strong habit of night life, and his egotistical sloth. Although he was able to win team games within the blink of the eye, he was accustomed to focus too much on it. Now that he's free from team duties, he wants a good time rather than giving his opponents a tough time on the pitch.
5 Arjen Robben
The defensemen that opposed him will not recall the vision of Robben with the ball tied to his feet. However, it is a sight that football fans throughout the world love to remember. But if there is a shortcoming in the history of the Dutch star, it is his incapacity to mix up as he should into the fabric of a group. He also concentrated on his self-centred style in a battle with Thomas Muller in 2012. He is often guilty that he destroyed a team move with too much superfluous dribbling or that he prefers shooting more often than throwing, yet he has mostly become a medallist.
4 Raheem Sterling
Egoism can sometimes be a valuable tool. It can provide footballers with a personal base, providing them something to fall back on when things get rough. During his difficult exit from Anfield, Sterling was branded various things, but it was his label "selfish" with many. Well, he decided to go from self-interest to Manchester City, but was it really bad? It was no-brainer to leave this season for a club with greater money, a creative midfield and a spot in the Champions League. Many were irritated by his rise on the next stage, but the recent winner of the Golden Boy award has the raw talent to make this happen to the public. Now what he needs is a bunch of goals and money to keep his enemies at bay.
3 Ben Arfa
Ben Arfa has recently been somewhat inconsistent. The winger has fallen from favor and doesn't fit the mold as a player who spends too much time in the transfer market. He was previously considered one of the most talented footballers in France. "I merely thought about myself in the past," the former international youngster of France stated of their selfish string. "I felt like I was alone in the world." Although some of his external characteristics and maturity seem to question his sincerity in dealing with this deficit.
2. Romario
On his first place, he was a strike whose antiquities in the offfield attracted as much notice as his accomplishments in the field. Several years have gone since the competition side of the game was abandoned by "O Baixinho," but the international former of Brazil keeps its distinctive position in the game. As selfish as a goal scorer as he always was, his time with Wim Kieft at PSV Eindhoven was all because he refused always to pass the ball on his colleague. Kieft himself provides the best anecdote: "He never gave it over to the target." In the while, I went over the ball a lot, making it easy for him to score more goals. 'Thank you,' he'll say, 'and next time you're going to receive one from me.' But he would shoot only when the "next moment" came.
Ronaldo, a Colossus, winner of the Champions League and former winner of the FIFA Balloon d'Or, have always shown us his outstanding skills and talent. It is undoubtedly flexible and adaptable, representing some of the top teams in many countries throughout the world. His ability to operate in a team has been constantly questioned. The Portuguese player was admonished to go alone before the goal instead of quadrating a ball for his teammates. But since you can score 17 goals in the season of the Champions League, it could be justified to be selfish.
