Football accepts all speeches

Football can handle all speeches and accepts “counter-discourses” with surprising naturalness. One only has to go back to the classic Copa del Rey on Thursday and the praise of the two coaches at the end of the competition. Even a guy like Ancelotti, who seemed above good and evil, commented that it was “obvious” that Barcelona didn’t deserve to win. Undoubtedly, it could be concluded from that side that Liverpool should have brought the last Champions League to its showcases.

On the other hand, Xavi Hernández did not like the victory of his team, regardless of the fact that he himself in his philosophical discussions has always been against such a way of winning, which does not agree with metabolizing football culé. The Barca coach has an unusual perception of reality, which was seen in his time when he thought about the happiness of the citizens of Qatar.

Football is a good habitat for sophists, for those who tend to use words and arguments that may interest them most at a given moment, regardless of whether they are more or less in line with the background of reality or the background of reality.

On the other hand, it is difficult to judge if it is good or bad to know these thoughts, adapted to the circumstances, or if the deafening silence like that of Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid or the Confederation in the case of payments to Enríquez Negreira is worse, more than shy statements, as if nothing happened there happened. Or almost nothing.

The only truth in football is the one holding the ball. That’s why it’s so big and can handle everything. Because no one can intervene there, be fair, capricious or naughty.
