Guest Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I just hope he can stay grounded. Other young Canadian athlete’s (Eugenie Bouchard) have been hyped up massively before and they get caught up in the fame. I have seen Phonsies’ personality enough to believe he will stay humble, but it is always in the back of my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SthMelbRed Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) Have you seen video of Alphonso's mum? I have no doubt that she'd slap the shit out of him if he started turning into a dick due to the fame. ?

So once the hype got to her, and the beauty/sex appeal part, started modeling etc she lost focus. Especially when she won nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am basing this strictly on my own perceptions, but I think Davies is a good combination of humble and confident. By that I mean he can stay grounded even with fame at a young age, but is confident/'cocky' enough to run at Bundesliga defenders with his first touch on his first appearance at Bayern Frankly, I think wingers/forwards need a little swagger, and Davies definitely has that. Belief you can beat the defenders 1-v-1. The Beaver, romurra and dyslexic nam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtlMario Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) I never was sure if I should mention this but now that we are on the subject....... at the last Canada game in Mtl. (you know the one that the crowd went home in a cab) Davies was standing by the players bench before the game (about 6 feet away from me) and didn't respond to me twice. I am not trying to say anything bad about his character, just saying what happened to me at that certain time. Cheers. BTW all I wanted was to take a picture with him.

Before the game might be a tough time to get a picture with the player. Honestly, they should be focused and thinking about the game. If the team gets blown out of the water and smiling pictures with fans taken before the match show up in the media, well it wouldn't look good.... After the game is best time I think.

Belief you can beat the defenders 1-v-1. Success in any career or profession requires that special balance of audacity and humility. Davies has got that balance, and at a remarkably young age. His teammates will respect this instantly. Oh, and he is damned fast too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 16 and at his first cap, it probably wouldn’t be a good look to do that before kick off. I wouldn’t take it to heart.

BenFisk'sBiggestFan Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 On a totally different note... Glad to see a couple of our young stars still go through normal teenage stuff... https://canoe.com/sports/soccer/mls/vancouver-whitecaps/does-canada-have-a-new-power-soccer-couple I don’t want to spread rumours. Its great to see the future of Canada soccer on both the men’s and women’s side getting along. Thought it was a fun and funny article.

Genie’s struggles are directly linked to the severe concussion she suffered at the US Open in 2015. She has since sued and won a judgement against the USTA in which they were found negligible. It was so severe that she could feel the cleaning chemicals from the floor burning the back of her head after she fell. romurra and Keegan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_M Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Up 3-1 at home today but concede 2 in the last 15..better turn it around quickly or kovac might not be there by the time he becomes eligible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club Linesman Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Terrible results still help his chances to get into the first team. Even if the coach is fired, I would think Davies would get a chance to play if the terrible results continue. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching a few Bundesliga matches lately, I think the level is quite high, I'd dare to say the lower ranked teams play better than the poorer teams in EPL, for example: thinking of Mainz, who were very good even losing, it was a high quality match.
