It's their own fault for not taking advantage of winnable matches to boost their coefficient and avoid the likes of Bayern or Barca.
I'd say the bolded are a pretty good explanation for why he can't just be normal...

I don't know much about him or his personality.
But it looks like he does it because he can. You have to understand that those guys have never lived what an average joe would call a normal life. They get scouted when they are very (way too) young and from there on nothing is normal again.
They earn way too much money way too fast and are way too focussed on their career way too early on.
Add a few other factors that may or may not play into this one (rough childhood, wrong friends, sleezy character, etc.) and you have a recipe for disaster.
I mean just look at all those NFL players that routinely get into trouble with the legal system.
Why? They earn a crapload of money and can afford everything basically. They have a lot of time to waste and way too much money to spend. I think a life like that can get boring for some (idiots) pretty fast.
So they will do stupid things for the extra thrill in life.
They also get sugarcoated their whole life. They think they can get away with anything (e.g. Hernandez) and sadly they are right most of the time. Many societal rules don't apply to them or exceptions are made for the star athlete. Even by law enforcement.
Pretty easy to lose your head.
It is just not a healthy lifestyle IMO for some people. If you have a few wrong characteristics than things can go south pretty fast.

A lot of the times as Joem mentioned it's the childhood... growing up poor you meet some rough individuals you call friends and they try to drag you into things. Benz probably doesn't want to feel like money has changed him and still considers these lowlife's his friends, who he wants to help. I don't really like him a footballer nor as a person really but I understand why he's like that. Feel bad for him TBH.
Since posting my post... my brother explained to me why they called Ozil goal a handball and I agreed so all is good Arsenal deserved to be humilated.

It's always a good morning when Pillenkusenis completely out of a european place. Roger Schmidt's just such a poor coach; like a bad klopp-knockoff. Watching him fail so fully with them has really made it clear why his RedBull teams always lost in the playoff rounds for europe. Toprak in midfield is just ********, even though they have no 6s. Relying on Keissling and Chicharito like he does is even dumber, and then there's the wild pressing that leaves huge gaps behind the initial press; which keeps them from having any sort of control on matches through their possession.
God would I love to see the european spots this season going to FCB, BVB, S04, BMG for the CL; and Köln, Hertha, FC VW for the EL.

Köln would do well in the EL, depending on how badly they get raided. And Hertha wouldn't hurt our coefficient anymore than Augsburg/Stutgart/Freiburg/Mainz have in recent years, nevermind that Dardai has them playing good football and getting the results they should; even though their strikers are worse than laughable. Would totally be worth seeing those bayer vultures lose out on europe completely and have to sell their best players.

Transcript of Benzema's wiretapped phone conversation with one of his Lyon gangsters:
He's soooo guilty.
Regarding the $20m worth of cocaine from Spain to France, also known as the Air Cocaine scandal, his fingertips are all over that as well. The pilots of the planes have Benzema signed gear and merchandise all over their houses for goodness sake.
This guy's going to end up in jail, and giving up a life of making 8.5m Euro per season playing for the biggest brand in all of sports. Absolute lunacy.

We'll see if he actually ends up in prison. I'm not so sure. Wouldn't be the first Real star who should've been locked up but somehow never was.

Hey D2M, when your favourite player ultimately transfer to my club, I will give you a warm welcome. Plus you get to wear a superior jersey kit and colours.
I don't see Correa leaving Atletico.

It's about time he leaves for a big club, might as well be the best club in the best league.
