I actually thought of what to write today and I decided to compile the list of footballers who hardly laugh. If you're football fan, you must have observed that some footballers hardly smile or laugh to their team mates or opponents or when they score.

Below are the three I could think of

  1. Mario Balotelli 

I have heard many people saying that the reason why Balotelli doesn't celebrate goals or smile to his team players or opponents is because he suffered racism from childhood to adulthood and it has affected his interpersonal relationship. While this might be true, I don't agree.

When talking about footballers who hardly laugh, Balotelli should be the first player that will probably come to your mind. I don't think anyone needs to tell you that Balotelli is one of the few players that easily gets angry and intimidated on the pitch. He's easily prone to anger and he's always ready to fight. He's a good goal scorer and striker

There are probably two important goals in Balotelli's football career yet he still did not smile. According to him, he chooses not to smile or celebrate goals because it's his job to do so. Balotelli once said "when a postman delivers letters, does he celebrate"? That's a very funny statement 😁

2. Frank Ribery

I'm not really a fan of Frank Ribery but I haven't seen him laugh, at least for the times I have watched him play. The only time I've seen his smiling face was his pictures Ribery looks too serious and that's why his face looks scary most times. My friend who is a fan of Ribery said he's one of the most friendly players in Bayern Munich. He said Ribery always involve in humorous act like tickling team mates and act as if he wasn't the one. I don't know how true this is but judging from his matches, he hardly laughs.

3. Wes Brown

Brown was a Manchester United player who left for Sunderland. He's a very good player and one of Manchester United's good defenders. Despite not being the perpetrator of the violence, Brown is one the players who hardly laugh or smile to his mates.

There are just the one I can think of
