#3 Diving, play-acting, fighting, head-butting – Real Madrid tactics of dirty footballers
Gravesen, Guti, Emerson, Fernando Hierro, Míchel Salgado, Pablo García, and Manolo Sanchís – Real Madrid’s history of housing some of the world’s dirtiest footballers definitely does not earn them any brownie points.
In fact, football fans around the world loathe such footballers, in turn hating the club that they play for. It is debatable whether the club has an affinity for these kinds of players or whether the players turn dirty after joining them.
These players jostle and fight on the football pitch, waste time and sometimes even play-act. They do not think twice about resorting to any method in order to win a match. Players like Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, and Cristiano Ronaldo among others, are known for their ‘unruly behaviour’ on the pitch.
One would struggle to find so many players in one team and it doesn’t seem like they are willing to abandon their precious history any time soon, though.
