Football slows down to watch the Sol Campbell car crash

don’t mind a bit of ego in football. I played with a fair amount of it throughout my career and it helped me to become the best that I could be at certain moments. Any psychologist will tell you that players who tell themselves that they are the best will eventually start to believe it.
Confidence bordering on arrogance can be no bad thing for the right player and those that project it such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo are all the better to watch for having that air of superiority about them.
