10 Footballers Who Dramatically Declined!

[@socceram]

Remember how good Adriano was before he threw it all away! Had 99 shot power on PES back in the day! Lucky to escape the list 😂

[@Agent.K.]

Soccer AM -Center -pass to Adriano - run fast past a player or two -shoot with full power as soon as you see the penalty box Pes 2006!

[@killercaos123]

The amount of brilliant Brazilians, that eventually turned bad are staggering: Kleberson, Caio Ribeiro, Adailton, Robinho, Denilson, Jo, Alex Rodrigo Dias Da Costa ( "Alex"), Andre Santos, Branco, Gilberto da Silva Melo ("Gilberto"), Roque Junior, Afonso Alves.... the list can keep going and going....

[@footballcenter1964]

killercaos123 And Pato

[@Agent.K.]

[@samuelgoncalves5616]

I don't think Alex turned bad. I mean, he played well in every team he was on. He didn't make to 2 WC due to injuries.

[@ravzb40]

Ah Diego was once a Fifa Legend of the game with his free kicks 👌

[@fifagamerhd00]

[@reecemeakin4787]

[@khylelewis]

you're right the majority of these guys careers didnt go downhill all of a sudden anyway. Kaka, Gourcuff, Essien etc. were down to injuries. If they going to use that as a benchmark Brazilian Ronaldo shoulve been number 1, or even perhaps Maradonna.

[@harryreeve7674]

Well, Rooney did have a bad spell with injuries in his mos recent few seasons. But ultimately Rooney was just an early bloomer, and his body gave in; just too slow now.

[@andertonchigoneka5237]

[@mojok7070]

Rooney started playing as a CAM/CM when RVP came. He still scored 10+ goals from from 12/13 even last season when LVG played him in strike he was hitting form earlier in 2016. But this season he's not been so great. Been benched for like half of the season. He's not going to score many goals now but he still assisting goals that's maybe his new way of playing. He hardly played this season and still has more assists than Ozil

RVP ended Rooney's career , Robin was far better and Manchester Utd won the title purely because of his arrival .How many assists did Rooney get last season ? Özil got 19 highest in the premier league and why Arsenal finished 2nd and why Manchester Utd finished 5th lol . Rooney's decline has been on the cards for a good 4 years he's shit .

[@soufianhd5587]

That is why Ronaldo and Messi are the greatest not because they are the most skilled, but because of their hard work which leads to consistency.

[@DC-zn6oo]

[@GloTheActivist300]

I think Ronaldinho should be on this list. He was amazing at Barca until they won the UCL then he went downhill and didn't win the league for 2 years, then once Pep was in charge they sold him he didn't really do much at AC Milan or anywhere else.

[@calamorta]

Bigga He was good in 2013 though. His season was better than Neymar's imo.

[@scottmcconnell7356]

Bigga just because he didn't win trophies doesn't mean he wasn't a sensational player!

[@GloTheActivist300]

***** am I supposed to feel sorry for you?

[@ravzb40]

Bigga its because the Samba king loved to party instead of train like Messi and Ronaldo.

[@vitorbueno4301]

He did great in Libertadores for Atletico Mineiro here in Brazil. But desconsidering this, it went really downhill.

Of course it's not his fault, but that doesn't change the fact, that he had the potential to become one of the top 5 players in the world...

[@dshannon565]

Without a doubt Ronaldinho should've been on this list. He was pure magic, nobody could do the skills and tricks so effectively like he could. He was the best player in the world up until his final season at Barcelona and it was all down hill from there.

[@raoulprice1047]

[@jdoggrulez]

Gianluigi Lentini should be on the list. He was at one point of time the world's most expensive player and had the whole world at his feet. His incident in 93 caused a really sharp decline. Tomas Brolin is another name that comes to mind.

[@mariosneymar7394]

essien was also playing at panathinaikos

[@lpskillz855]

It's not Rooney's fault that he went to scoring 7 in a season he got dropped to midfield and he keeps getting put on the bench so. It's not Rooney's fault and he is the best Manchester United player in history.

[@ricardoalmeida4719]

S_ Hussain4646 Are you really saying Ronaldo didn't do shit in United? So the ballon d'or, golden boot, champions, etc came around for no reason? What a joke. Ronaldo was the best but Rooney was more decisive because he stayed there for 13 years.

Good man!

[@NarutoUzumaki-lx1bl]

Football Daily He's not your student! Haha

[@cobimoltzon7218]

Wayne Rooney's career hasn't really declined. He's been consistent pretty much every season. Pretty much every year he almost has the same amount of goals. He's dropped to a deeper role playing as a CAM or CM and he still has more assists than Ozil. Its not about goals its about what you do for the team and Wayne Rooney recently has been pretty consistent since he's been starting for Man United he's been scoring and assisting and I know he hasn't been playing as much. During this season he's been coming on as a sub or he's been injured and he doesn't have that much time to score all the time or do anything and he's been playing in a deeper role so that's why his goal ratio has gone down. He's not declining.. He's just playing a different game. I don't know why you English hooligans criticize Wayne Rooney he's been the best English player ever.

[@vivekasbhat]

What about Messi and Neymar Jr?

[@MohamedAli-xu3uw]

Adebayour:The Arsenal legend that came to be.

[@Timliu92]

Poor Fernando Torres. During his time with Liverpool he was one of my favorite strikers in world football. During the 2008-09 season his partnership with Gerrard destroyed defenses in England and gave Liverpool a 2nd place finish, while with the Spain national team he also formed a deadly duo with David Villa in front and scored goals for fun as they got fed with tons of killer passes and through balls from the likes of world-class midfielders in their primes such as Alonso, Xavi, Iniesta and Silva. Sadly his form declined right after the 2010 World Cup, and I was waiting for him to be back in form for 2-3 years before eventually accepting the fact that he was past his prime. P.S. Where is Adriano Leite Ribeiro? That guy had the potential to be the heir to the all-time great R9 for his time in Parma and Inter, but depression, alcoholism and subsequent weight gain sadly ruined his career. Imagine if he actually fulfilled his once great potential together with Pato (whose career takeoff was sadly halted by tons of injuries) and eventually partnered Neymar in front - that would have been really deadly!

[@azhimahmad5652]

Where the hell is Ronaldinho? you put Kaka in here yet didnt include Ronaldinho...kaka was blighted by injuries and probably the most devastating moment for me as his fans..he's my favourite player but sadly injuries killed his career..but unlike Ronaldinho, he used to party so much after he won it all..tho it's very pleasing to watch him play but how I wished he could stop partying and drinking so he could be in his prime for more than 8-10 years just like Messi and CR..damnnnnnnn

[@BullC6]

2009-2011 Rooney was the best in my book. He carried the United team alone those two years after Teves and Ronaldo leaving left a giant hole in United's attack, helping them finish 2nd and 1st. He started declining after his serious injury at the end of 2011 season where he scored 34 and lost the golden boot award to Drogba because he wasn't available for the last five premier league games.

[@mojok7070]

Rooney is more of a midfilder in the last few seasons. It was LVG who started playing him in CM so he was hardly going to score more goals but at times even last season when he played as a striker earlier on 2016 Rooney was on fire with goals until his injury in February which Rashford arrived and Rooney was forced to play in cm. But these days I see Jose playing him on the wings which doesn't makes sense since he lacks pace. If he starts he should always play in CAM.
