Messi and Fabregas, child's play

During the soap opera that was the signing of Cesc Fabregas by the FC Barcelona hear all kinds of opinions. Interestingly, as the end seemed near, the debate took a turn really weird. Suddenly, three or four good games Thiago Alcántara, many began to claim that what he wanted the club to former Arsenal captain if he was the young son of Mazinho. Oh memory in football ...! Not only was equated with one another absurdly, but did not miss a handful of people who do not blush to say that Thiago was better than Cesc. A champion of Europe and the world and captain of Arsenal in front of a kid who just had experience in the First Division. Of course, Wenger's team had spent years without winning anything, while Thiago was coming off a big role in winning the U21 Championship Rojita. And I was, four or five games I had seen most of hispanobrasileiro outweighed entire career Arenys de Mar.

Now, in just one month of competition, where are those who doubted Fabregas? Hidden, they thought, confident that no one point, but basically it is not difficult to recognize them: it is precisely those who now raise their voice on others to praise him. The start of Cesc as new Barcelona player has exceeded all expectations - mine, of course. No one doubted that he had that of which boast much like Barça, Barça called DNA, but their contribution to the team has gone beyond what could be expected. Pep Guardiola himself has praised his play, "the anarchy of Cesc comes very well," he said, but added that he still has much to learn blaugrana gear and said to be seen when required to play a more set.

The key to the great role of Cesc just land on the football team is its relationship with Leo Messi. That's where we've all been surprised, and I dare say that they have been the first to be surprised. Memory play, not sought because they need them, simply are; throw wall at full speed at any position, and exchange their roles continuously. Eight years ago that left the Arsenal Fabregas but gives the impression that Messi and Cesc have not gone more than a couple of days. In this modern game, hipertáctico, which analyze the game like chess duels should address, is a delight to remember how, in the end, the chemistry between the players is still above all. Tactical soccer does not deny, much less, I admire the work of modern coaches use all kinds of technologies to develop tactics and studying the opponent, but I wonder to see two guys being just some kids created a special bond between them and, after many years apart, each in his team, each in their selection, having grown up with different coaches, are reunited on the field and they do not need more than a couple of combinations to feel that that friend with the both had fun with a ball in between is still there.

That's what happened to Messi and Cesc. And as I said before, surely they themselves have been the first to be surprised to discover that your link through the ball has continued there, waiting for their reunion. I say again, imagine the sensations to be had in these first matches, particularly Fabregas and envy have had the pleasure to feel, with each pass, with each wall, with each goal assisted ... Therein lies the essence of soccer, not lot of running, or know how to defend and even in the goal. Football is passing, playing with a partner, drop the ball and move to meet him in a better situation than before. And in this, Messi and Fabregas are showing that form a unique pair. Only time will tell how far they can get together but, even a toast to the sun, dare I foresee that we may get two players that make a time. I do not forget Xavi or Iniesta, or Villa, who last year got sick to attend Messi while half of his goals came from the foot of the Argentine, but what they have Leo and Cesc is something special. In they keep alive the audacity and innocence of youth soccer, something we often forget and underestimate. <> Oo | <to | americanistadechiapas
