Biggest waste of a talent in football (1 Viewer)

Gotze has won 5 Bundesliga titles and a World cup. Also a Champions league finalist. Everyone can agree that he's a wasted talent due to various reasons.
Pogba's fall is obviously not on the same scale as Gotze but he could have accomplished way more if his head was in the right place.
He's spent 6 years of his prime at United just to win a shitty Europa league and underperforming for most his stint at the club. That's a wasted talent for me.

Doesn't necessarily have to do with winning trophies. Totti had a pretty long and consistent career while barely winning much.
Harry Kane is 28 and has barely won any trophies. Would you call them wasted talents?
We're talking about talented footballers who could've done so much more but poor attitude/work ethic, injuries, lack of desire cut their high level careers short.
I mean just look at Neymar. This guy is easily a Messi/Ronaldo level talent but he chose the paycheck and celebrity lifestyle of Paris instead of aspiring to become the best player of his generation.
Same thing with Pogba, Götze, Özil etc. A few years of success got to their head. All these players mentally retired at an early age.

Chiesa.
Horrific injury kept him away from playing for a year and he never returned to his original form what he used to be before injury.
However, in the short time he plays, he is very effective and poisonous. No Italian player of this generation has the quality of his technique, carring the ball, speed and dribbling, especially on the counter-attacks, are exceptional.
