A little bit about football

Just hope that you agree with my idea that a title doesn’t have to be a common denominator for the story one want‘s to tell. Well, it is not in this case. Today was a strange day. First of all, it was pissing down the whole day, so it really didn't make me feel good. Most of the day I spent inside studying and reading stuff for my thesis and for the spring term essay in Competing in the Global Economy. The second half of the day I spent focusing on football- went to train with the Sussex team and then watched Barcelona vs. Chelsea in the Lion and the Lobster. I can tell you the training today was absolutely horrible: I didn't understand the game at all and most of the passes I gave went completely in the wrong way. Really embarrassing! I have a friendly game coming up tomorrow and I really don't know weather I get to play at all.

At least the day ended on a good note: Barcelona won against Chelsea. A result I really hoped for- now it is just left for Liverpool to win against Betis tomorrow. Why I wanted Chelsea to lose? I must knowledge that Barcelona has been one of my favorite teams for a long time, but still, today (or for the past two weeks) it has been more about Chelsea’s arrogance. I really do not understand Mourinho, who addresses the public at the end of the game, with a message that the best team really lost today. It seems to me really pointless, like waving your middle finger at the end of the battle when you are dying just to show one's bitterness. I have much more respect for Frank Rijkaard, who refused to comment on any of Mourinho’s comments. And of course then there is Ronaldinho, who at one pont of the game just wanted to see how long he could keep the ball...well 5 Chelsea players got the ball off from him, but only by making a foul.
