Observation - It’s been going on as a gossip or will I say argument.
That players of nowadays are more focus on making money rather than playing for passion like the old days.
I also can strongly say that passion for football ends in Ronaldo and Messi ERA.
We'll I think it is what it is because this times people are more consistent in things that brings them money ratter than doing it for love or passion, it's not necessarily in sports only mostly all areas of life everyone is sticking to making that money not because of passion but because they need the money, I think this is because the world challenges are becoming so hectic and uncomfortable and the only way to stay comfortable is having so much money to profer solution to your needs and demands.
After the end of the ronaldo and messi era, we no longer see the exciting rivalry in the world of football, but in my opinion the end of the ronaldo and messi era does not necessarily destroy the passion that exists in the world of football even though we no longer see the intense rivalry of the world's best players, the passion for football may look different now, But in my opinion we cannot generalise the passion of a player in playing, although many of them are eyeing money of course there are still many players who have extraordinary dedication in playing football, but apart from that, we know that currently football is the most promising livelihood, so indeed money and fame will not be separated from footballers today.
