Biggest Decline In Football Of EVERY Year (06-19)

The Irish Guy takes a look at the biggest downfall in football, from every respective year.
Including the likes of Ronaldinho, Alexis Sanchez and Wayne Rooney.

[@SerbianMeerkat]

Bit harsh on Michael Johnson, the guy struggled with his mental health and depression for years because of his injuries. Met him a few years back, he was really nice and seemed much happier now. Think he’s become quite successful in real estate since he retired as well, so it’s nice to know he’s turned things around for himself and is happier now.

Adriano was one of the main reason why Flamengo won the league title 2009. Best goal scorer in Brazilian League in that season by the way. One season later he was paired with Vagner Love in Flamengo´s then 4-4-2 to form "Emperor of Love" but for some reason he returned to Italy during that year where he was finally broken.

Not really. Di Maria still managed 18 assists for United despite only being at the club for one season. He's gone on to be successful in a farmers league. Hardly a step up. Same goes for Depay. Smashed them in in the Dutch farmers league, was shit at United, and now smashing them in at another farmers league. Sanchez and Mykhitarian were both doomed to fail. The former was hardly having a great season at Arsenal and the latter never settled in England. He failed at both United and Arsenal. Sanchez is now failing in Italy as well so it wasn't just United where he was poor. The only player that is achieving real success since leaving the club is Lukaku. Real fans never wanted him to leave, but both him and Ole foolishly wanted him out and he's banging them in in Italy. He never failed at United, the team as a whole failed. The myth that Man United ruin top players needs to die. Simple fact is most of them couldn't hack it at the very top level or just had poor attitude and were just there for the payday. The club has wised up to that now and slowly getting rid of all the high earners whilst nurturing young talent. It might not be bearing fruit right now but considering the club is only 5 points off a CL place with a game in hand proves it's not all doom and gloom.

I was going to mention that. Tbf he should be on the list because that was a bad season, he should have retired at United because it was apparent in his last season there that he'd finally succumbed to age. At QPR the combination of that with his wife being terminally ill (and keeping that out of the press) was just catastrophic for him.

Adriano 2007? 2 years later the man won the Brazilian league with Flamengo, their first in 17 years, finished joint top scorer too. As for Ronaldinho, "finished" in 2011, he was sensational for Atletico Mineiro between 2012 and 2014, won the fan's league player of the year, won Atletico the Libertadores for the first time in their history and was deservedly awarded 2013 South American Player of the Year (yes it is an award for players based in South America) but the guy who finished 2nd that year was an already certified star in Neymar.

Robbie Keane, a guy who I admire so much that I'd still consider him a role model now at 22 years old, was meant to take the next step in his career and become one if the best strikers in europe, and came to the club who I've supported my entire life to do it. Only for it to all go wrong, and to see both club and player go on such a decline at the same time was absolutely heart wrenching. It was cruel

[@SamuelSantos_]

Why doe your voice sound different when you talk about Fernando Torres?

[@Anonamoosemouse]

Surprised not to see Balotelli, he was on track to be one of Europe's best in my opinion. I remember him scoring 2 against Germany in the Euro Semis the year Pirlo also dominated. His numbers seems to have fallen off a cliff. Also I know hes had some serious health problems, but Gotze had a huge decline, he looked like one of the attacking midfielders in workd football, scored the winner against Argentina, but since he moved back to Dortmund hes not been the same and looks like they will let him leave this season.

[@SH-lt4nl]

Gerrard was still top scorer in his last year at Liverpool. He could have left for another top European club but he said he didnt want a chance to play vs Liverpool. If Klopp was manager I think he would keep him but play him as a sub like Ferguson did with Scholes. It's a shame Gerrard missed out on Klopp by 5 months but luckily Henderson and Milner filled the leadership vacuum. I think his America form was down to different culture(travelling) and lack of passion for LA Galaxy.

[@reverendroar]

I think it was a bit harsh on Kaka, Rooney, Torres and Ronaldinho. Kaka wanted to say farewell to AC Milan before going to the MLS to become an icon of American ‘soccer’. Meanwhile that’s a similar thing to both Rooney and Torres as they wanted to have a farewell season with their original clubs before they were rejected at their current clubs. Torres was gonna go to Japan because of Villa and Iniesta- while Rooney was gonna go to the MLS because of the same reason like Keane, Kaka, Bastian and Zlatan- to follow Beckham’s footsteps and conquer the game over in the States which they all did. And Ronaldinho literally did a Maradona which is say goodbye to your origins. So maybe a bit harsh on players that just want to say goodbye and walk into the sunset
