“I’m not gonna give up, there’s more to this,” IShowSpeed reconsiders quitting football, says he wants to be like his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo

The long-awaited Sidemen Charity Match 2023 had finally gone down, and the highlight player of the game, IShowSpeed, had underperformed to expectations. Considering last year’s performance, however, he had improved tremendously, as the 19-year-old even bagged an assist during the game to Niko Omilano. However, his team, All-Stars FC, would go on to lose 5-8 to Sidemen FC.

Fans made fun of Speed for his awful performance. In one of his recent videos, he revealed that he is feeling like ‘quitting football’ as his performance did not go the way he wanted. Trolls online were relentless and the game did not go the way he envisioned it. He had even practiced and released footage before the charity match. In only one year, IShowSpeed had come a long way and even got praised by Tobjizzle, amongst other stars, after the match was over.

The Variety Streamer of the Year Winner in his recent video on YouTube, had expressed his opinions on him continuing to play football following an unhappy performance at the Sidemen Charity Match. He said,“After the football game (Sidemen Charity Match), I quit bro, I’m not playing any football. Miss penalties, I looked like a f*8king stupid a**. People making memes and sh*t, I got KSI’s mom tweeting ‘Hallelujah Speed missed a penalty,’ like, so much sh*t.”

However, later in another live stream, Speed changes his mind. He said “I was genuinely thinking about stopping playing football but I don’t think that’s the way. You know, just ’cause I had a bad game, do I just quit football? Just ’cause I had a bad game? I don’t think I should give up. I think there’s more to this football.“

Further, he pointed toward Cristiano Ronaldo on his t-shirt and said, “I’m not gonna give up. There’s more to this. You see this dude on my shirt? I’m not giving up until I be like him or surpass him. You feel what I’m saying? That’s what it’s going to be.”

IShowSpeed was expected to score goals. Especially considering he was up against KSI as the goalkeeper. But since he failed miserably, even at a chance given during a penalty, IShowSpeed’s performance did not live up to expectations. Speed had many other memorable moments in the match. For instance, tackling KSI after promising to do so online.
