Or maybe both. It is curious that two technical names such as Mourinho and Benitez, who won in the Premiership and are now out of it, claiming in the same week that they would like their future take place in the British nation. "Down" Some will think, but beyond these two cases in particular, makes us think that today is the premier place of choice for professionals and that our league has lost in this whole area.
The reasons given by both coaches are diverse. Mourinho said of England that values respect, fairness, peace or the kind of game that is customary in England. For his part, Benitez argues two main reasons: the respect that is given to professionals and the position occupied by the coaches in England, closer to the position of manager. Mourinho does not mention this last point, but after the vagaries of the signing of Adebayor in the winter market, it is clear that the Portuguese coach agrees with Benitez.
It seems clear that the form of live football in both countries is abundantly opposite. In Spain, things have changed in recent years, and the sport seems to be slowly giving way to the show so much that, like the F1, soon be known to the Spanish league as the big circus. The gossip and the trivia are part of everyday life, and we know more accurately what is said in Ball Point or the content of the cover of Marca that the name of the Levante goalkeeper or the central Osasuna. not save England , much less, of a tabloid and sensationalist, but appears to be an addition to that football is not influenced, unlike here, where everything is related, or intervene in what it means merely sports.
Both coaches agree in emphasizing respect for the professional. Mourinho mentioned the ease with which it works in England, which reminds me of something I said a few months ago Piscu, former Deportivo central and Wigan Athletic player now. He pointed out that training your team does not press an appearance, something that is unthinkable in Spain, where the players are not only athletes but also of important media figures. Interested in everything around them beyond their Balompédica episodes.
Respect fair play I have mixed feelings. I do not think that is a league like the English, where we see with frightening regularity entries, an example of fair play, but in other aspects of the nobility of the sport are one step ahead. Me comes to mind as an example, this nasty habit we have in Spain to ask the referee cards, something that is really frowned upon in England. The players have to devote to play and win on their own, not by the referee as inducements sneak class in question. We were shocked because a president or owner celebrates goals for his team as any disrespect to the contrary and we find it irrelevant whether a player ask for a warning to a rival, yes, but also to a colleague.
Neither the Premier League is perfect or Spanish an absolute disaster, but certainly the air is stale and smells increasingly less to the green grass. It is no use our own resources if presentation is not correct or professionals can work comfortably. Football is entertainment, but not lose perspective and forget that, above all, is a sport. We run the risk of making our league a variety show.
