Egos can be good and bad at the same time. Sometimes a person with a big ego could be misconstrued as someone who has a lot of confidence. Essentially that’s what an ego is, but much more centred around themselves. Some footballers are allowed to have a huge ego as they can live up to their hype on the pitch. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Cristiano Ronaldo, etc… They score consistently and produce world class performances week-in-week-out, they can be as egocentric as they want.
They will come across as quite arrogant but, who cares, if they can produce. Alternatively, you get some players with a huge ego but, fail to live up to their own talk. These players you can’t help but laugh at, you almost feel sorry for them as their thought pattern is so deranged and deluded.
Nicklas Bendtner is one of those players, definitely. Yes, he goals in him, but he has too many moments in games when you attempt to contemplate how he became a professional footballer. To put it bluntly, he’s awful.
Maybe this latest story isn’t a blatant link to his egocentric behaviour but, no one can disagree he has a history of ridiculous comments. SkySports are reporting the fact that the Danish international fancies a move to the Bundesliga to get regular game time.
Bendtner, who has been at Arsenal since 2005, has been shipped around Europe for the past two seasons with loan spells at Juventus and Sunderland. However, it’s not time to cut all ties with the striker as he simply hasn’t put the effort in to prove himself at the club.
In the games he has played in, he looks sluggish, disinterested and his general play could be confused with a rookie whose playing in the league for the first time. He offers no more than Olivier Giroud does and even less than Yaya Sanogo. He simply has to leave the club as soon as possible and if that’s to the Bundesliga then so be it.
