These are the seven footballers who perfectly embody this definition:
The Chilean player who has played for so many important clubs in Europe is a clear example of this concept. A footballer that you love madly when he defends your goal but you never tire of criticizing and insulting on television when he is in charge of preventing you from scoring a goal.
Jordi Alba is a mischievous player who likes to cheat, but who ends up being much more intelligent than the vast majority of his rivals. All the teams that play against Barça end up fed up with the elusive Spanish winger.
Sergio Ramos is another perfect example. The ideal captain for your team, he defends the colors and the shield as if there were no tomorrow, regardless of the fouls, tackles and tarascadas that it takes to stop the rivals. Hence, he is the most booked player in the history of La Liga.
Cristiano Ronaldo, especially in his youth, was hated by the entire football planet except for the fans of Manchester United and Real Madrid. The reason was the constant cockiness that he displayed every time he scored a target. The passing of the years has corrected that attitude and has led him to become a much more professional footballer, perhaps the best professional that has ever existed in this discipline.
The Zlatan Ibrahimović thing is a love-hate-constant thing. It is true that when he faces your team he is a very easy footballer to hate, but it is also true that he has played for many important teams and practically none of them have bad memories of him.
The two remaining footballers are the personification of this article. One for Real Madrid and one for Barça:
First of all we have Casemiro. The Brazilian Real Madrid player is an expert in the defensive task of cutting to the chase. When the carioca is inspired it is very difficult to hurt a Real Madrid team that entrusts itself to him for all the dirty work. Of course, a player like the top of a pine.
And the winner of this list: Luis Suárez. A footballer capable of taking anyone out of the game, determined to use all possible tricks to get one centimeter ahead of the rival defender and end up scoring the goal. All this is true, but it is also true that we are talking about one of the best strikers in the history of football.
