Scoring is the job, even Frings scored for Bayern after going back to Werder and saying he hated the club.

Happens quite a lot, most recently Cristiano Ronaldo, players not celebrating a goal when they score against a club that they had a particular emotional attachment to.

Always seems a bit daft when someone lashes a volley into the top corner from 30 yards then looks miserable and walks back to the half-way line. One of those things that always seems to get players a reputation for being classy, when really it's quite disrespectful to your current team-mates.

Taken to extremes, you get incidents like Roberto Baggio refusing to take a penalty for Juventus against Fiorentina.

It's not disrepectful if they made effort to score for you is it?

Excellent non-point, well made.

In short, it isn't disrespectful and it's not really an issue.

Players are paid to play and do their job, not to love their clubs.

Or at a more brutally short level, what the Brasilian lad said.

By actually doing this job, and doing it right if you're scoring and ultimately beating this team you have feelings for, you're showing complete respect tbh.

Where is the love, guys. Surely football still sells emotions and somehow the concept of going on the pitch to fight for YOUR team still is a rudimentary aspect of the game.

Thanks for extensively clearing up this particular non-issue.

and scoring a goal to help your side win the game isn't enough? why the need to run around like a goon in front of fans who have treated you very well in the past and rub their noses in it? doesn't mean the goal means any less to the player.

If you can't do a triple back somersault you shouldn't bother anyway. btw how many white players do that somersault ****?
