Tonight’s Champions League final for me really solidifies an opinion I’ve had for a while.
Modern football has produced incredible systems, coaching, fitness and tactical organization.
But the elite players of previous generations were more capable of imposing their personality on a match regardless of the system around them.
The modern game produces better collective solutions and I have no doubts that teams are stronger than ever. However, the previous generations produced more individuals willing to create their own.
Players who took responsibility, changed the rhythm of matches and bent games to their will instead of waiting for the system to provide the answer.
Football evolved, the footballer didn’t.
@StratocasterM68 Fue por el torneo. Los tres partido de semi de Copa Indep Boca se jugaron en River. Fueron 2-0 Ind , 1-0 Boca y 0-0 y pasó Independiente por dif de goles. Avallay debutó en el primero en River. Esto fue 25 de abril del 65. El dato de esa nota es equivocado. Saludos.
@StratocasterM68@defeweb@palobrandoni Puedo estar equivocado, pero creo que ese amistoso entre River y Defensores fue para probar las luces del Monumental antes del Mundial 78.
