>dad was a world class athlete
>the son is shit
Why does this keep on happening?

He scored a banger against Bilbao in the Europa League though
He's been a decent player for the romanian league, scoring quite a few goals whenever he played here. Shame he didn't make it at higher levels.

The sons of world class footballers are almost guaranteed to be mediocre at best and disaster class at worst. Also see Zidane's sons.

Talent appears and disappears from generation to generation in an unpredictable manner. So it's comparatively common for the kid of a pro athlete to be less talented than the father. But the kid usually has an interest in said sport because of the father, and the father's wealth and status allows the kid to receive elite training and nutrition and so on. That usually means the kid is better than most other kids - and has good contacts as well as a big name, things that come in handy when searching a club
Even if a kid is as talented as the father, their problem often is a lack of drive: your dad has earned millions, your family is set for life. You don't have to make it as an athlete yourself, you can lean back in any case. And deep down, they often don't want to be compared with their father. All of that isn't really helpful when it comes to putting in the work required to become one of the best 1% among the best 1%

Not always

>Dad grows up poor
>Gets scouted
>Becomes a footballer and drags his family out of poverty and sets them for life
>Has kids
>Kids grow up with everything they need
>Kids dont bother learning anything or becoming an athlete
many such cases across all sports

Someone like Rivaldo in the 80s was an actual poorfag, people say Nerman started as a poorfag, sure but it was a lower middle class poorfag
If Brazil is shit now imagine what it was 40 years ago, this leads to the key point: hunger, someone like Rivaldo even if he wasn't massively talented he HAD to win, this kid will never have this pressure
He's in some shithole earning much more than his talent deserves and he has a rich family behind, it's fine, nothing to complain but he won't have the drive, he won't stay late training free kicks or shots or wake up earlier than everyone

This is usually because their dads marry some petite little femlet with a pretty face instead of an 'alpha bitch'. My dad, my uncles, and all my male cousins are tall and strong. Natural chads. I'm shorter and less robustly built, still above average but at family gatherings I'm the manlet. Why? Because my dad married a femlet.

Anyone who can dribble past a dictators coked up failson and then kick the ball vaguely towards the goal powerfully enough that the opposition keeper can let it past him on purpose for his match fixing gang would be

Who would win, Brook's daughter or 1000 dicks?

Went to the son instead desu

They never played football with their life on the line

The father is just 50% of the genetics. The majority of elite footballers marry their highschool girlfriends who would've struggled to become hair dressers in any other life. The return to the mean for their offspring is therefore swift and cruel.

If you want to breed reliable footballing pedigree, you can't ignore the women's genetics. Otherwise, you'd want to at least breed the children with other children of footballers, so at least you have good footballing traits on both chromosomes.

girl haaland is pre sable

>>150330982
zero chance she didn't take PEDs on highschool due to the pressure of being her father's daughter. A real sad history.

>Born in Recife, Brazil, Rivaldo had a poor upbringing in the favelas of the city.[11][12][13][14] His physical appearance still marks the poverty he experienced in his childhood: malnourishment-caused bowleggedness and the loss of several teeth.[15] Predominantly left footed, Rivaldo began his professional career at the age of 16, when he signed with Paulistano Futebol Clube in 1989,[16] despite the Paulistano coaches believing him too physically weak to succeed.[17]
Based starvation

Because they're rich, even if they fail they will still be rich.

It is best to breed the biggest girls. But coomers never do.

They don’t have the drive to succeed
