Anelka - Netflix

[zuricity]

This is boring - there is a lot of buildup to his iconic years at city

I wish people wouldn't use the word iconic . There is hardly anything about Anelka that is iconic.

Didn't like it, plus his City years were barely mentioned.

He explained that was against Steve Clark.
Made no sense.

He explained his version of what happened in the film.

He claimed it had nothing to do with that and was a message of "f you" to who benched him, then he came in and scored a winning goal.

You don't have to believe him but it sounds somewhat believable.

He is a player who has a ridiculously high view of his own abilities/self.

Listen to how he spoke of when he was at City in the film. He commented on how he felt miles ahead of everyone else and we heard this sense of "entitlement" and resentment when it wasn't recognized (also at Real Madrid, where he was also not welcomed so much by his teammates and in the situation with France at the WC and even prior to that when not selected for the team), which was also based on talent and feedback from others.

At West Brom he surely had the same thoughts of him self and when the manager didn't recognize what he saw in himself he struggled to accept that, it seems.

Right or wrong that is what I can see what happened there, and he showed a tendency to be provocative when you push him, and maybe knew it was a provocative gesture as well.
