This morning's Wall Street Journal has a lengthy article on the back page of the Friday section.
For aficionados of the "Classico" discussion writer Matthew Futterman has authored the article which includes a discussion of the money surrounding Real Madrid history. Unfortunately, as the article points out, it may not be all about money as many think Barcelona is the best team in the world, without spending levels associated with Real Madrid. I am not sure, however, I buy the critical view of Real Coach Mourinho advanced by the author (quoting others) wherein Mourinho style is ruining the beautiful game. It occurs to me the point is to win, and whether a coach is advancing the "art" of the game seems of secondary interest. Is Mourinho destroying soccer?
Welcome home, Sociedad. Good to know you still have early AM energy to discuss Mourinho and his tenure...! bienvenidos a casa!
ResponderBorrarFaltan menos de 24 horas para el nuevo clásico. Muchas cabezas se estaran volteando para ver de cerca los gestos de Ronaldo y de Messi. Si las miradas se pierden en el barullo de las multitudes, cuidado con los resultados. El negocio del día sera marcar, marcar, y mas marcar. A marcar se ha dicho...!
ResponderBorrarLos minutos y...aun los segundos pasan rapido antes del partido. Los periodistas se afilan las unhas para sacarle punta al lapiz y dar valor de noticia a detalles que no tienen importancia alguna. Esto es un verdadero "negocio" de compra y venta, un equipo ganara,y otro perdera. Nada mas. Mientras tanto, la venta ($)continua y la media planta semillas para el futuro, no vaya a ser que el publico consumidor del "producto" se olvide de Cristiano, o de Messi
