subject: Why Soccer Players Are More Dedicated Towards Their Club Than Their Country - Part 2 [print this page] Please read part one of this article before reading this. A bad performance at club level might cost a player his place in the club team. The fans also tend to get on the back of the players who fail to perform well at their club. This eventually can cost him his place in the national squad as the selection for national teams is majorly based on the players performance in the league. However, a bad performance in an international event can in no way affect his position in the club. These international events are short-lived and people tend to forget them, especially the ones in which their nation fails to deliver. Criticism happens for a while and then it stops.
Most international players play the league in other countries and hence they hardly are around in their home country. A bad performance at an international event may disappoint a player but can never hamper his fan following at the club,where he stays the whole season long.
Also, it is mighty difficult for players, who maintain their focus for the same clean and tidy form throughout the season at club level, to give their proper hundred percent again to the national squad after the tiring season is done. And many who try to serve both with an equal drive often end up with some serious injuries.
Then why not concentrate on the national dream itself? Well, it is true that to win the world cup for his country is every players dream, but to be a failure at a lavish and heavily paying club is his darkest nightmare. No wonder, soccer players are often accused to be more dedicated towards their clubs and not their countries. Maybe a balance should be brought about by having more national matches so that the spirit of patriotism is always alive both in the players and in the fan following.
