Not all the good players get to see the stardom they deserve, nor they are acknowledged by the contributions they made in a particular sport, but it is an utter despair that they end up being satisfied by what little fanbase, spotlight, achievement and trophies, and a solely contented soul to leave the ever-known pitch,putting aside boots and jersey's on the Almirah for the future generations to see and wonder in a sports museum.

Put the scenario aside, I may have become sort of imaginary, but that what happens to real life for a soccer player it is way comparable. The truth is, life is tough for them and as fragile as woods as to their career, injuries & trauma, hopelessness, burdens, family and personal performance, drop in the score sheets, unsatisfied club, grumpy manager, an unsettled transfer talks, sticking to the same age-division football for longer period,emotional instability and expectations of fans from club and national side - that living in midst of them is never easy, at least from a player's point of side.

Sometimes we as a fan become so much limitless in terms of criticizing, as much as for calling their names, abusing things and trolling in social media for what little mistakes they made in a matchday.Perhaps,this is the most common sight in the contexts of #fansreactions, after losing in a crucial time. In every game, there happen to be three events for sure,winning, losing and unsettled play as draws. But, every player can see a bad day to happen in a certain match and thats as normal as night and day.

But, roaming around the social media, which staggers most is to see, how mean and abasing can fans and spectators be when criticizing players of own team, crossing major limits of civility, courtesy and ethics - the conducting morality - breaking them to most parts of the statements.

Players arent superhumans and they are normal individuals like us and not every match performance be the same and could take a turn for the worse anytime and an individual cant be liable, judging it from the inside.

I have seen many of the stories and personally felt that an average individual starting to take the vow for becoming a soccer player, right from the day of childhood, rearing up the dream to be great one day and joining local age divisions, training sessions under a coach or manager, getting up early in the morning each day and joining sessions, playing matches and controlling diet, things as to change the whole lifestyle completely for the sake of becoming a better footballer, these stories we the fans dont get to see, but they go through them. Everyday,All the time.

To be able to master the ability to be in the national team squad of any football playing nation is a big achievement under any circumstances. Because,the player is to be the 20 among the hundred thousands playing in divisional cricket and pro- league for a long time. Football is a violent game where body contacts, fouls and brutal challenges keep the corporal risks higher than other sports. Injuries are untimely by-products that nobody wants to see happen during an important event.

Players can have serious familial problems,emotional instability as they might lose relationships and near ones parting away. Hopelessness when fans become hostile and manager providing less time to play in the match. Quite often these things have been seen to happen and creating a result of underscoring each time.

But the career goes through highs and lows,in between thick and thin and winning trophies and achievements, contributing more to team's and club's achievements and ending up a good phase of sporting life.Age moves on and on and a new years start to roll forward, until when the time comes to take the boots off and deciding never going to play again ever! The decision to do so, requires a very strong mind,controlling downpour of tears and emotions, just looking after the family and friends.

Saying bye bye to the pitch and time to watch the juniors to play and bring glory to the nation and being a part to take pride on national achievement that retiree player could wish from God to have in his life. Thats how a soccer career starts and ends, with drama's and tear's( in times of failires and losses, in times of glory and winning major's) , and fans waving good bye once more.

But, fans still never seem to give up scolding, calling names and criticizing recklessly that they forget what to say and what to hide from saying. Thats football guys, what else ?

Thanks So Much, See You Next Time. 💐⚽💚🏆
