I mean bro is manhandling opponents and calling them “bobo” and stuff 😂. Like as a Barca fan who’s watched him my whole life, I’m not going to say he was timid his whole career, but this dude is a whole new person from the guy who lost the WC in '14.

What happened?

    I think he’s just fed up with players,coaches and the media constantly insulting him and pushing him around like he’s not the greatest player of all time. At a certain point, you have to give him some respect.

    It’s good that he’s showing his true self bit by bit. But It doesn’t change the fact that He’s the most “humble” footballer of all time.

    I’d understand if it was CR7, Modric or Benzema who were being disrespectful towards him, but Ugarte and Rodrygo? I’d be furious, those are kids man, who are not even on the top hundred of good footballers in the world. Imagine being called a coward by someone who lost to Colombia, not even Marquinhos can utter those words but it had to be some kid who plays for Real Madrid. I don’t blame him

    I guess he incorpored more that “south american” spirit to play for Argentina. For what I see, Argentines and Uruguayan players usually have a more aggressive attitude compared to Europeans, I’m not saying they are aggressive like wanting to injury his opponents, but their spirit.
    So IMO he added this spirit to his personality which fitted very well. He’s fighting for his team and his teammates are fighting for him. Everyone wins by this.
