Whether it is Football, Baseball, Cricket or Basketball, Sports is all about TALENT and RESPECT. Players should respect each other and show good sportsmanship before anything else in their game. But there are some hot-headed players who commit themselves into unnecessary arguments, and end up losing their reputation.

Let's take a look at some of the hot headed players, who have damaged their reputation in Football:

1. Sergio Ramos
Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos is a very competent and aggressive tackler. He has a good technical ability but a reputation of having volatile temperature on the football pitch. Though the Spaniard is gifted with good distribution and crossing ability, he often commits rash tackles and scary moves for which he has often been criticized. He is the only Real Madrid player who holds the record of most red cards in the game.

2. Joey Barton
He is the bad boy of EPL! 
The QPR playmaker of Huyton has marked his life with numerous controversies and disciplinary problems. He has been charged many a times for his violent conduct and is always seen in the news brawling pointlessly. Although the 32-year-old has good work ethic, he often displays poor sportsmanship. Barton is also active on social media where he picks players and often gets himself into arguments.

3. Mario Balotelli
The Super Mario of Football Pitch! 
The Italian professional Mario Balotelli is one of the craziest personalities not only in football, but in any sports. The Liverpool striker has created several controversies with surprising actions both on and off the pitch. He is one of the bad boys of the modern game who never ceases to entertain people with his behavior. See alsohttp://goo.gl/Cx5VZy

4. Francesco Totti
The most sophisticated Italian you would want to mess with!
Ranking as the top active Serie A goalscorer, Francesco Totti is a guy that even Balotelli learned not to mess with. The Italian veteran forward committed a nasty tackle when he viciously kicked Balotelli from behind during a Copa Italia match between Roma and Inter Milan, marking the day as the Roma legend.

5. Diego Costa
The Spanish professional is a Chelsea star and also the cheeky one!
The striker fights a lot, always trying to get in the defender's face to generate a reaction. But in front of an official, he acts out as the victim with the intention to get his opponent sent off. His reputation as a hot head on the field grew during his days with Altetico Madrid. See also http://goo.gl/dFRwjn 

Well, getting hot headed is sometimes natural, as the players are exposed to the adrenalized, competitive environment of football. Some people even believe more aggressive a players is, better is his performance, as the rate of Adrenaline in the body increase further increasing the strength and activity of a player. But instead of being aggressive and taking things personally, it would be better if players create healthy aggression.

So I would suggest these players to go for anger management courses before coming to Football Pitch. If you like to share your views or desire to add-on, please comment€¦
