So, I’ve been wanting to change up my hairstyle for a while now, and since I’m a huge football fan, I thought, why not try to copy one of those footballer hairstyles? I mean, they always look so cool on the field, right?
First, I spent some time browsing online, looking at different players and their cuts. There are so many options! From Cristiano Ronaldo’s slicked-back look to Lionel Messi’s occasional experiments with color, it was a bit overwhelming. I also noticed some articles mentioning things like “fade,” “crew cut,” and “textured crop,” which seemed good for guys like me who don’t want to spend hours styling their hair every morning.
I learned it’s important to think about your face shape. I read that if you’re trying to avoid accentuating certain angles, you should stay away from overly thick bangs or really severe, slicked-back looks. Also, I’m not a big fan of curls, so I made a note to avoid those.
After all that research, I decided to go for something simple and manageable. I remembered seeing a picture of N’Golo Kanté, and his hair is super short and neat. That seemed like a safe bet for a first try.
Then came the tricky part: actually getting the haircut. I’m not gonna lie; I was a bit nervous about asking my barber for a “footballer haircut.” I mean, I see him every couple of weeks, we have a good relationship, but I’ve never asked him for anything specific like this before. Luckily, the article I read mentioned that it would be a good idea to bring some pictures, so I showed him a few photos of Kanté.
He got it right away, and the haircut itself was pretty quick. He trimmed it down, kept it short on the sides and back, and left just a little bit of length on top. Honestly, it turned out way better than I expected! It’s super easy to manage – I just wash it, towel dry, and I’m good to go.

I’ve been rocking this new look for a few weeks now, and I’m really digging it. It’s comfortable, practical, and it makes me feel a little bit like a football star, even though I’m just a regular guy. I might even try another player’s style in the future. Maybe something a little more daring next time, who knows?
