Pro body building is built around taking insane amounts of roids which will get you caught during drug testing in pro soccer.

But then there's the discipline/scene of natural bodybuilding, where no steroids are used.

You also need tons of work on top of steroids to bodybuilding. Steroids by themselves don’t get you big. you can all the anabolics in the world and remain farT.
All these examples are very poor, bending reality to prove cliche folk wisdom, it’s actually kinda funny.

Súper bro science. It’s hard to take it seriously. Weightlifting is an integral part of soccer training. And cardio does not kill your gains.
Being at a slight deficit won't hurt your soccer performance. You're not a top tier professional that needs to optimize for every tiny thing. Even if you are, Ronaldo is shredded and is a top 5 footballer. And most footballers are naturally very lean, so what you're saying doesn't even make empirical sense.
Should you expect to play the Champion's League finals while preparing to do poses at a bodybuilding show and do your best? No, but you could conceivably do these a few weeks apart.
Cardiovascular activity won't "kill your gains", there's no such consensus, you just have to be smart about your caloric intake.
There's no physical law involved here so saying it's "just physics" sounds very dismissive.
