Imagine a world where footballers get paid for good performances and players who don't perform that well only get 1/4 of their salary

>started a career as a farce footballer since he "wanted to be a footballer, but did not want to play football"
>becoming friends of many footballers such as Carlos Alberto Torres, Ricardo Rocha and Renato Gaúcho so that he could have a big network to be recommendated whenever he needed a new club
>With a physical shape similar to professional footballers, but lacking skills, his fraud consisted about signing a short contract and stating that he was lacking match fitness so that he would spend the first weeks only with physical training where he could shine.
> At the time he went to train with other players, he would feign a hamstring injury and, by the lack of technology at the time, it was difficult to discover that it was a fake injury.
>Another part of the farce was to be friend of journalists, so that they would write great fake news about him
Someone please murder him.
I wish he was going to the Olympics with Nigeria so a favela monkey could deal with him.

Let the manu butthurt flow through you. The American owners were sick of your pseudo-alpha façade and decided you should sit out the next 5 years of success.
You merely adopted success, America was born in it, molded by it

Winston Bogarde
Dimitri "break a leg" Payet
his last name pisses me off so much
>Vennegoor of Hesselink
'of' means 'or' so it sounds like his last name is either Vennegoor or Hesselink
but it's both
makes me want to puke tbqh
>>69554330
Also pretty nice that his first name is 'Jan', the most generic dutch name imaginable
>>69554330
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2004/aug/04/theknowledge.sport
>According to our research, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink was thus named because, way back in the 17th century, two farming families in the Enschede area of Holland intermarried. Both the Vennegoor and Hesselink names carried equal social weight, and so - rather than choose between them - they chose to use both.
>'Of' in Dutch actually translates to 'or', which would mean that a strict translation of his name would read Jan Vennegoor or Hesselink.
wat is google?
>>69554452
doe niet zo bijdehand stomme belg
I always thought Vennegoor of Hesselink was cool guy. It makes him sound like he's from some noble family that wanted him to become a doctor or a lawyer but he followed his dream of becoming an average footballer.
>>69554452
why not go with Vennegoor AND Hesselink?
