He’s tired of the CR7 fan brigade :russ:

Unrelated but there is this Portuguese player fernando peyroteo from the 40s that had the most ridiculous goal to game ratio I've ever seen. Like 635 goals in 393 games :gucci:

I don't know if i'm just :flabbynsick: or if this is true but i do feel the same way.
Ofcourse He's right and I blame two big factors or people for this

structured football or otherwise known as tiki taka or pep's system that emphasizes control of the game via total domination of possession above all
which forces players to play scared,safe and risk averse

second factor is the stat obsessed era led by messi and ronaldo. Players were winning ballon dor and WPOTY back in the day with stats that would be considered poverty stats by todays standard but back then football was about entertainment as much as it was about winning and fans,coaches and players alike weren't obssessed with it
