Why he might be annoying:

He performed miserably during the 1998 World Cup in France.
He's cocky.
His Spanish is characterized by a heavy Madrid accent.
He goes by his first name.
He has an irritating habit of kissing his ring finger whenever he scores a goal.

Why he might not be annoying:

His national team, Spain, was blatantly robbed out of the 2002 World Cup during quarter finals against South Korea when the linesman declared their winning goal out of bounds.
He might have led the Spanish national team to their first World Cup title in 2002 had they not been robbed.
He's a daring and clever striker.
He joined Real Madrid when he was just 17 and has been part of that same team ever since.
