Jorge Valdano said that playing against a defensive team was like making love to a tree. Suggestive metaphor of a game of this feature, you can be anything but exciting.
Fortunately the unpredictability the game, save the football to fall into routine or monotony. You can play well but still lose. Or vice versa. The fan or follower, more fanatical than their football team rather than the result, they care about the show (emotion). That is the attraction and explanation of its worldwide popularity.
Football, such as division of the court into two opposing camps, basically boils down to two systems or styles of play: Football purposeful risky mimador ball, known as variants' jogo bonito ',' total football ' or ' tiki taka' . Have diametrically opposed conservative football, destroyer and allergic to the ball game, improved system in Italy and known popularly as catenaccio game or 'bolt'.
A marketing law says, 'better get there first' and he cites the case of the first man on the moon, which everyone remembers, but the second almost anyone.
On the other hand the verses of Mexican folk song says, 'do not have to come first, but we must reach. "
For that, the ball is on the field. Everyone choose their preferred system.
Inevitable comparisons
Paradoxically history sometimes remembers only the vanquished: Leonidas, Hannibal, Napoleon, were two separate leaders who played it all or nothing, does anyone remember the names of their respective winners? ... If we move to the history of football, there are losers who have the most honor and fame to the winner: It was moral champions; ' The Magical Magyars' , Puskas (Switzerland 1954), 'Clockwork Orange ' Cruyff (Germany, 1974). Curiously, these 'losers' game unfurled a colorful, innovative and offensive.
Interestingly some journalists and fans brandished with pride and defend violently 'chair' Italian labeling it 'The most difficult league in the world' , but neglect to mention that the meetings, except among the largest teams , are half-empty stadiums. By contrast, in England, until the parties among the smallest of the Premier League teeming with people.
cattenacio The game is reductive, simple-minded, destructive rather than purposeful ploy sheep which reinforce their yard so they do not penetrate the wolf. Argument applies to equipment owned or disabled or those who know less. But a team of gallons laurels or take as a method or standard is at least reprehensible and cowardly. Greece won the Euro based on slaughter and trade in the area, hung on the poles and eventually got the goals needed in this case, be justified by a team guy and no football tradition.
Mourinho last champion of this system has the dubious honor of having achieved his 'romaine' with Porto and the powerful Inter, respectively. However, in a few years his achievements will be mere statistics. I do not remember what year Porto won, but I remember clearly as if it were yesterday Arrigo Sacchi who consecutively won the Champions Trophy for 89 and 90 with that dynamic and brilliant Milan Van Basten, Gullit, Rijkaard, Baresi and company.
Needless to delve too far into the opposite method, because, fortunately for the welfare and future of football, there are institutions that are committed to this, the most telling example is offered by the Barcelona Guardiola, natural heir to the Dutch school and its' total football ', which has made the possession a feature high on the category of art.
But without doubt, the Everest of this system came that glorious exemplified by Brazil in 1970, the team most sweeping, colorful and spectacular of all time. Recently the Brazilian group, is betting strangely on the contrary, forgetting its traditional joy and impudence. We know how it goes.
