**"Morata, Is Football Not for You?" - Cesc Fabregas Speaks Truth to Power** In the world of football, you'd expect seasoned players to keep their cool under pressure. But for Alvaro Morata, that wasn't the case. The 33-year-old striker found himself in hot water after receiving two yellow cards within minutes of entering the game for Como in their 2-1 loss to Fiorentina on Saturday. The manager, Cesc Fabregas, has now called out Morata, advising him to consider a career change if he can't handle the physical and emotional demands of the game. Fabregas' words may seem harsh, but they're a reflection of the high expectations that come with playing professional football. Morata, a seasoned player with a wealth of experience, should know better than to let his emotions get the better of him. The difference between winning and losing is often just a matter of a few crucial moments, and it's disappointing to see a player of Morata's caliber let his team down in such a way. The context of the game only adds to the frustration. Como was already down 2-0 when Morata came on, and the hosts were left scrambling for an equalizer. The 77th-minute own goal by Fabiano Parisi gave them a glimmer of hope, but Morata's subsequent red card all but ended their chances. Fabregas' comment that "provocation is part of football" is a reminder that the beautiful game can be ugly at times. Players need to be able to handle the pressure and the physicality of the game, and that includes dealing with provocation from opponents. If Morata can't handle the heat, it's time for him to reassess his career choices. In Nigeria, we see similar situations play out on our local football pitches. Players who can't handle the pressure or the physicality of the game often find themselves on the sidelines. It's a tough reality check, but one that many players need to face if they want to succeed in the beautiful game. For Morata, it's time to take a long, hard look in the mirror and ask himself if football is really his calling.
