Football is littered with second chance stories - those players who seemed destined for the exit door when suddenly everything changed.
Whatever social media tries to tell us, there aren't bad footballers playing in the Premier League. You don't reach that level and overcome all of the challenges and scrutiny of coaches galore along the way by being a bad footballer. There are other mental aspects that do play a part, whether it's a lack of desire to improve, how they treat their bodies outside of the training centre, the suitability to a new league or country and the mental strength required to play at the very top.
Often though, when things don't go the right way for a player it can be simply down to circumstance, whether that's an injury, a change in tactics or a new manager who simply does not see them in their plans. Sometimes the latter two instances can work in a positive way, if mixed with the right attitude from the player.
