Don't kick it either. U could hurt your toe.
Just one of those things, it comes with the job! Don't hear Bricklayers moaning about getting a bad back when they retire with shedloads in the bank, so what makes a footballer so special!?
I appreciate everyone's input here. It's refreshing to engage in meaningful dialogue on important topics.🔥
They should all wear helmets, just like "football"…. 😏😂
This is 100% true. It has links to CTE. The result is near impossible though. Ban headers in football?
I'm heading to hell after I asked a disabled United fans who's on his wheelchair "Does Ole in his wheel?"
Just want you want to hear from your centre back
Maguire is gonna be out of the job if headers are banned😭
i got shouted at for not heading when it wasn;'t necessary when I was 12.
Is there plans for CB’s having similar things to scrum caps?
grow up buddy
Mancs crying 😂
Not gonna lie over the 25 years I’ve played and the days we practiced corners/crosses always landed to me somehow and after a while my brain definitely felt shaken up. Especially from those hard crosses. 🫨🫨
thats it. football as we know it is FINISHED
He should consider changing his defending game and trying to chest control the ball. Then head it if possible. That is how you improve your game.
Don’t shoot the ball at the goal you might hit the keepers face
Well Ronaldo's head must be empty by now😂
Being at Manchester United makes it worse for him
In that case players who doesn't do heading should have a look at other sports cause heading is essential in football today….
So he's saying if your team has a chance to win a final and the ball comes straight to your head move aside 😂😂😂😂
I know CTE, dementia and Alzheimer’s, it’s a cruel thing for people to go through and for the people who have to watch that person suffer. Ban heading in football is the only answer, especially in open play. When it comes to corners and goal kicks, space players out so they don’t clash heads.
No wonder we are conceding so many goals from set pieces. These jokers don't want to head the ball 😢
RESPECT
Here we go…Varane being used as a prop to try and usher in the new norm of no heading, or at least try to put it into the public’s consciousness. Life is a risk, and you have been well rewarded for yours. This is the sport, cant wrap everyone and everything in bubble wrap. People will say don’t head a football, but will never say don’t go on social media. Which is truly more damaging, debilitating and a threat to different forms of health?
Wish varane a speedy recovery. It can affect you along the way it's true.. God be with you bro
Makes sense now that Ronaldo makes the shittiest career decisions….
They used to header harder balls back in the day no complaints..
