You know the kind of player that just divides opinion wherever they go? Well, ESPN FC has picked out seven of the best, and you can watch why we think they are so polarizing below.
Mesut Ozil
The Arsenal playmaker isn't a beloved figure at the Emirates but has his moments of brilliance.
With criticism coming from all directions, Arsenal's Mesut Ozil may be the epitome of a polarizing player.
Marouane Fellaini
Do people dislike him because of his uncompromising, physical style or the fact that he's still so vital to Jose Mourinho and Manchester United?
Is the fact that Marouane Fellaini plays for Manchester United the reason why he strikes such a controversial player?
David Luiz
Slapstick defending and untimely moments of indiscipline hound the Brazil international. But he's still such a vital cog for club and country.
While David Luiz certainly brings flair to the game, his lack of defensive discipline contributes to his polarizing status.
Karim Benzema
He's one of Real Madrid's most prolific scorers yet gets booed if he misses a chance to add to his tally. Why?
There's not a striker in the world who divides opinions more than Karim Benzema. Sid Lowe and the FC panel talk just what makes him so polarizing.
Jozy Altidore
He's integral to Toronto FC's success yet seen as a potential weak link for the U.S. national team.
Jozy Altidore has received his fair share of criticism over the years, and he may be the U.S.'s most polarizing player.
Michael Bradley
As goes Michael Bradley, so go his teams. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Few players divide opinion quite like Michael Bradley. The FC panel debate his status as a polarizing player.
Gonzalo Higuain
What's not to love about the Juventus striker? There are few better at putting it in the net but it's all about the goals he doesn't score. Is Gonzalo Higuain a polarizing player? The FC panel aren't so sure.
Do you agree? Perhaps you don't think these seven are polarizing players at all? Which side do you fall down on? Let us know in the comments section below.
