Being a football player - soccer, for our American friends - sounds like quite a stressful gig. Putting the social media pressure to one side, you have to go out and perform multiple times a week in front of huge crowds. For one footballer, though, the thought of playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is way more intimidating.
When not turning out for football outfit Real Madrid, Carlos Henrique Casimiro can typically be found improving his aim on CS:GO. Heck, he even owns his own esports team. It's an enjoyable enough pastime, but the thought of streaming it and messing up stresses Casimiro out. "Without a doubt, people are much closer and when I fail, there are some insults," he tells Marca (translation via Dexerto). "When I play Counter-Strike, I get a lot more nervous there than playing at the Bernabéu. I feel more pressure with people watching me play videogames live than football."
Casemiro goes on to explain that there are some similarities between the way he plays football and CS:GO. When playing for Real Madrid, he typically plays as a defensive midfielder, so he's naturally more comfortable adopting a defensive approach to Valve's FPS game.
