When the mind is sick, the body loses its ability to perform – 04/08/2023 – Tostão

One of Messi’s main qualities, which makes him superior to Maradona and other great players, is regularity, as he has shone so brightly for over 15 years. History also shows that there are many exceptional athletes who, without a clear reason, had huge and precocious technical falls in their careers.

Luan, who was elected the best player in South America when he played for Grêmio, is not listed among the 50 written by Corinthians in Libertadores. For many years, Luan, when he enters the field, does nothing. At Grêmio, from midfield to forward, he was the connection between the players. Was his huge downfall technical, physical, emotional, tactical, not adapting to the new team, or all of that?

Hazard, after being one of the main highlights of Chelsea, the national team of Belgium and world football, disappeared at Real Madrid, which spent a fortune to sign him. When he enters the field, he is a spectator of the match. What would be the main reason for its decline that lasts for years?

If Ronaldinho Gaúcho had played for about ten years at the technical level he had in Barcelona for two or three years in a row, when he was twice elected the best in the world, there would be a discussion today about who was the second greatest in history, Ronaldinho, Messi or Maradona. It is said that Ronaldinho reduced his dedication to his career and began to enjoy other pleasures in life more.

Even so, Ronaldinho was a great highlight of Atlético MG and other clubs, but, as the expectation was so great, that he would play like he did at Barcelona, ​​they said that he acted poorly. Could it be that his time at Barcelona was atypical, an exception, because he had the ideal conditions in the team and in the city for his exuberant and very fantasy football?

Hadrian the Emperor also had a short and exceptional career. Haaland remembers Adriano, due to his great height, the precision in his extremely powerful shots and the enormous number of goals. It is said that Adriano gave up being an athlete and that he would have said several times that he liked his life in the favela more than being a world star.

When the mind is sick, the body loses its ability to do what it wants. The body is the connection to the mind. As Real Madrid thrashed Barcelona 4-1, the connections of mind and body between Vinicius Junior, Benzema and Modric were masterful, a celebration of the beauty and individual and collective talent of football.

Other great athletes in football and other sports and professionals from different areas also had, in a short time, enormous technical and financial declines. One of the main reasons is the loss of desire, ambition, the great effort to become better every day.

This discouragement may be related to the difficulties of the profession, such as the enormous pressure to always win, which resulted in the withdrawal of some Olympic athletes. Even more serious would be a broader situation, the decrease in the pleasure of living.

Freud, in a long work on various professionals who had great technical and financial declines in their careers, concluded that these people often had a real and/or imaginary feeling of guilt, because they did not feel capable and deserving of the prestige and money they received. they had conquered.

Depression and other mental problems are frequent and need to be diagnosed and treated by specialized professionals. Unfortunately, in the world of football and in parts of society, depression is seen more as a moral weakness, not an illness.
