I started Ted Lasso a little over 2 weeks ago and I just started season 3 today. I’m just wondering why Nate has become such a villain. He had one good call made for the game against Spurs then accidentally word vomited out wonderkid in the post match interview. He claims that Ted will take all the glory, which I haven’t seen him do. Did I miss something? Does it have to do more with his Dad being so indifferent to him having some success? Or is he truly that in love with the attention he was getting for that brief period which he now craves? Any help will be appreciated!
I also wondered if Roy’s anger towards Jamie was partially due to his own feelings towards him. He went from hating Jamie to gradually starting to understand and care about him, but at that point it is still a love/hate relationship. Roy cares about and respects Nate as a coach. Would that also impact him not seeing Nate as a threat?
I don’t think Roy think about Nate very much, he’s just the guy who comes up with plays , he does stuff Roy doesn’t like to do but he’s replaceable.
