Anelka is a French striker who achieved success at a young age. He started his career at Paris Saint-Germain. After becoming famous, he was spotted by Wenger and transferred to Arsenal. He was later spotted by Real Madrid and transferred to Real Madrid.
When he was in Real Madrid, he dared to fight with Raul, the boss of Real Madrid at that time, and was banned for 45 days by the Real Madrid club.
Afterwards, Anelka returned to Paris Saint-Germain. At this time, Anelka was already at the peak of his career. His football skills were much better than when he first joined Paris Saint-Germain. Of course, his temper was also much worse. He would go on strike for no reason and bully his younger brothers in the locker room.
Afterwards, Paris Saint-Germain loaned the talented striker to Liverpool.
Anelka continued his magic and madness in Liverpool. Anelka only played 22 times for Liverpool, and most of them were substitutes, but he scored 5 goals, and most of them were crucial goals.
Liverpool has a love-hate relationship with Anelka, but ultimately did not buy him out. Anelka was sold to Manchester City by Paris Saint-Germain.
Anelka scored a hat trick in his first game for Manchester City.
After two years of silence in Manchester City, Anelka moved to Bolton for 8 million pounds, which also set a transfer fee record for Bolton. In the 07-08 season, Anelka played 22 times for Bolton and scored 11 goals, with a very high goal efficiency.
In January 2008, Anelka joined Chelsea for £15 million.
Although Anelka was already quite old at this time, his abilities were still at their peak, and his hot temper was also at its peak.
Later, in December of 2011, Anelka left Chelsea and followed his Warcraft brother Didier Drogba to join the Shenhua team.
Of course, the nickname "World of Warcraft Brothers" is not a compliment, but a derogatory one, similar to "Plastic Flower Sisters".
When Anelka first came to Chelsea, Didier Drogba was injured, so Anelka played as a center forward for Chelsea. Anelka played very well and scored many goals.
Later, when Drogba recovered from his injury, Anelka refused to give up the center position and even planted a flag with Drogba on the training ground.
Of course, the end result was that Drogba regained the center forward position, and Anelka was injured for a month before returning to the training ground.
And that time was exactly the time when Terry slept with Bridge's girlfriend.
Isn’t what happened in Chelsea’s locker room more interesting than a palace drama?
The reason why Anelka and Drogba went to Shenhua to play together was not because of any brotherhood, but purely for money and comfort.
At Chelsea, you have to fight for your life to make money! At Shenhua, they only need to play with half the effort in training matches and they can get double the price.
What a stupid person with a lot of money.
In 2013, Anelka moved to Juventus as a substitute player.
After playing for Juventus for less than half a year, Anelka transferred to West Bromwich Albion. However, due to the death of his agent Manasseh, Anelka suffered a mental breakdown and announced his retirement. He did not return to the game until three months later.
The entire West Bromwich Albion club’s top management was terrified!
Anelka was fired the next day, even after paying the penalty fee.
No club in Europe dares to want this star who is already very old but has an increasingly bad temper.
Afterwards, the media asked Anelka why he did the Nazi salute celebration. Was it a mistake? He wanted to chop the wind with one hand, but it looked like a Nazi salute? Anelka answered without hesitation, "No, I was giving the Nazi salute."
The reporter asked again, are you a Nazi?
Anelka replied, I am not a Nazi, I am just an anti-Semite. If I were a Nazi, I would have bleeped them all.
The beeping here was muted by the media, otherwise even the media interviewing Anelka would be implicated! Anelka is really a tiger.
In short, in terms of strength, Anelka is definitely a legendary superstar, even on par with Henry, Trezeguet and Zidane. However, Anelka's personality and temper affected his football career and caused him to "wander around". His career planning was a mess. He had no club that truly belonged to him, nor an era that truly belonged to him.
There are many talented players in the football world, but there are only two of them who can play like Messi and Ronaldo.
Anelka's signature celebration gesture is to cross his fingers in front of his chest to make a flying butterfly look. Because of this lovely celebration, Anelka is also known as the Butterfly Killer.
But the amazing things Anelka has done are not just the Butterfly Killer celebration and the Nazi salute celebration, and not just competing with Warcraft for the center position. The most amazing thing he has done in his life is to become the template for countless football novels - insulting the national team coach, beating up his teammates, and then being expelled from the national team and never recruited again.
It was the just-concluded 2010 World Cup. In the group match between France and Mexico, during the half-time break, France's head coach Domenech, with the score behind, asked Anelka to pass the ball to Gourcuff more often instead of just dribbling the ball. How could Anelka, with his AK39 temper, tolerate the pointing and nagging of "astrologer" Domenech? He immediately responded with a polite "draft?" Domenech was stunned by the scolding. As a head coach who uses zodiac signs to select players and extremely hates Scorpio players, Domenech certainly didn't tell himself a star before going out. He didn't expect that he would suddenly encounter Anelka's Mercury retrograde.
I thought Anelka would just curse a few times, but he became more and more excited. During the 15-minute halftime break, Anelka cursed for 12 minutes without repeating himself.
The old captain Henry sat on one side with a confused look on his face, and the new captain Evra sat next to the old captain Henry with an equally confused look on his face. Neither of them participated in the game. No one was supporting the big troll Anelka. Everyone just wanted to see the joke of the zodiac coach.
However, veteran Ribery couldn't stand it anymore and came out to stop Anelka. As a result, Anelka immediately turned the muzzle of the AK37 and fired at Ribery. How could Ribery, with his hot temper, tolerate this? So the two of them fought in the locker room during the halftime break of the World Cup.
Anelka cursed: "I can't beat Drogba, but I can't beat you Ribery?"
In the end, Anelka won the fight, but was expelled from the national team.
