Famous football players receive multi-million fees, which many of them spend on expensive cars, villas, decorations and noisy parties.
Such earnings, plus huge popularity, do not have the best effect on the personal qualities of many players who “put on the crown” and consider themselves better than others.
Fortunately, not everyone becomes like this: some do not get dizzy and they remain ordinary guys, although they appear in top clubs with an expensive contract.
Today we are talking about 10 players who do not like extra show-offs and try not to stand out.
10. Mohammed Salah
The Egyptian striker of the English “Liverpool” is currently one of the best in the world in its position, being also in the prime of life (he is 26).
Nevertheless, in his free time, he does not burn the earned money, but is engaged in much more useful things: he regularly sponsors social programs in his homeland aimed at helping children and the elderly.
In his social networks, instead of photos of cool foreign cars, he posts pictures from hospitals and rehabilitation centers, and he can also come to a party of people with disabilities and celebrate with them.
Simple and open in life, he is not conceited on the football field: after one of the matches in the Premier League, in which Salah scored a hat-trick, he was awarded a prize as the best player of the match, but he refused and gave it to his teammate James Milner, who played that anniversary day, 500th match.
9. Marcus Rushford
The young striker Manchester United (he was 21) made his debut for the main team at the age of 18, while studying at that time in school.
Many in his place would start to ignore school, but not him: the guy got up daily in the morning and diligently attended classes, and in the evening he played at Old Trafford.
At the same time, getting good money, he deliberately did not buy an expensive car, because he did not want to stand out. He spent the first fee on renting a good house for his parents, and he himself drove an Audi A3, which was usual by the standards of England.
8. Kilian Mbappe
The talent of young talent manifested itself in Monaco, which sensationally took the championship in the 2016/17 season. Shining on the field and sometimes single-handedly “pulling out” matches for his team, Mbappe at the age of 17 remained an ordinary schoolboy, like Marcus Rushford.
The story was widely publicized when, after the award ceremony, Kilian went home to sleep instead of winning the French title because he had to go to classes in the morning.
And now, being one of the main stars of PSG, he is still not arrogant.
7. Leighton Baines
This player cannot be called a world star, but he is definitely very talented and too shy, which played a cruel joke with him.
As a left-back, he scored nearly 70 goals in his career, making him even the record holder for this indicator.
Everyone recognized his abilities (he repeatedly became the player of the year at Everton), but the player himself considered himself the most ordinary. When he was first called to the England team, he was even embarrassed to go into the locker room, where, in his opinion, there were real professionals, not a couple to him.
Because of this, he refused the offers of top clubs, although he was called many grandees. Needless to say, no one has ever seen Ponte from him.
6. Kevin De Bruyne
Being one of the best midfielders in the world at the moment and getting a lot of money at Manchester City, the Belgian never attracted attention outside the football field.
He directly stated: “I do not want to be a star. I’m a simple guy and I just want to play football, benefiting the team. ” Noisy parties and thoughtless spending - this is clearly not about him.
5. Christian Eriksen
The Danish find of Tottenham is the favorite of all coaches because it behaves like an ordinary guy. Slaven Bilich, who worked as a trainer in the Premier League, said that Eriksen is one of the best in the world, but his name is not so widely known just because of its simplicity.
He does not try to set fashion trends like Paul Pogba, therefore he is not so popular, but at the same time in the center of the field he can be much more useful than the Frenchman.
4. Andrés Iniesta
Throughout his career, the Spanish midfielder has been one of the leaders of Barcelona and the national team, handing out brilliant assists and sometimes scoring crucial goals, but at the same time he has never hit his mark.
There is not a single scandalous article about him in the media, but the praise is darkness. He never scandalized or clashed, trying to do everything for the victory of the team.
Often, he gave assists in situations in which 90% of the other players would have gone ahead, but for Iniesta, the result was always more important than personal achievements.
3. Paul Scholes
The rude and most straightforward Roy Keane during his appearances for Manchester United said that Scholes is one of the few in whom there is not a drop of glamor, gloss and pomp.
As a living legend of the club, the Englishman hated advertising shootings and interviews, so after the matches he tried to quickly leave the stadium.
Pathos photos on Instagram - this is generally wildness for Paul, so he does not do social networks at all.
2. Luca Modric
The Croatian midfielder, who interrupted Messi's hegemony with Ronaldo and took the Golden Ball last year, is no different in life from an ordinary person.
He does not dye his hair and does not do extravagant hairstyles, wears the most ordinary clothes without looking at trends, and on his Instagram he publishes mainly photos of the family.
Luka is an exemplary family man with his wife and three children, with whom he tries to spend all his free time from training.
1. N'Golo Kante
This is by far the most modest player on the planet, playing in a top club on a solid contract, who also won the World Championship.
Having moved to the Premier League and entered into a profitable agreement with Leicester, the Frenchman could afford to buy an expensive foreign car, but instead he limited himself to a used mini-cooper and rode it even after a small accident in which he “poked” the hull.
Once, already being a Chelsea player and the best defender of the Premier League (if not the whole world), he was late for the train to Paris, and the next one was only in the evening.
He met fans who asked for a photo and an autograph, and then invited him to their place and he agreed. As a result, he spent a day visiting new friends and chatting and playing Fifa.
He reached the peak of his modesty (so far) at the World Cup in Russia, when, after winning his national team, HESITATED to take a picture with the cup, as he believed that he had not played well.
