Malmo. I’m sorry to swear in football church but I think this was absolutely freezing cold.
Rather go I Premier Division football, every day of the week.
The stadium was sold out, scarf sea covered all the bleachers, the fans sang and stood in, the atmosphere was good, the pressure good .
Anton Tinnerholm sent Cristiano Ronaldo over the sideline after ten seconds and Markus Rosenberg had a decent location when it was still 0-0.
So yes, those who want to imagine that This was a football match may well do so.
But I sat there in the stands and felt – nothing.
After a few minutes I had left a note and picked up the phone, took a photo of Ronaldo and texted the picture to ex-girlfriend’s twelve year old boy.
– Cool, he said.
I do not know what I am.
This is not a sport anymore
Ronaldo got crooked hit a volley, sending the ball high over the goal in the heel. Where it remained. A nice souvenir, I guess.
Personally, I was not of the feeling that this is not a sport anymore, this is Joseph Conrad’s final stop.
The sport last stop, the horror.
On the pitch tripped a bunch of half-billionaires around in neon-colored shoes at 30 percent of its capacity and Malmö FF had not the shadow of a chance.
Then you still know the premier division football player practicing five days a week all year and has done so since they were 15 years old. They are – compared to a normal Svensson – educated professionals.
Still missing in this game the only thing that really matters in elite sport: The feeling of uncertainty, you do not know how it will go, the excitement and drama .
In the headlines can Falkenberg defeat Blåvitt, the Swedish Cup to second division teams blare against AIK.
Can not stop otherwise
But this ?
It could not end in any other way, it’s not even out yet when I buttons down these lines but it can not end in any other way than that Real Madrid wins.
Was it just 2-0?
Okay, there’s still nothing for the fans to discuss. Nothing “If we have done this or that,” no “If the chance had been” no “We take them away instead.”
Due this terrible superiority of Real Madrid training more or eat better food?
No, it is partly because Spain is a large country, but it depends above all on the money.
Year after year, broadcasters and gaming companies has pumped billions upon billion in the richest Champions League tournament, which helped to create the football monsters that dominate world football today and that wiped out virtually all possibilities for excitement and drama, all competition on fairly equal terms.
Guarding their positions
Can a smaller teams stand up and challenge because they have developed a golden generation of the youth academy?
No, it does not work (Malmö’s U19 team defeated as Real Madrid’s U19 Team 1-0 in the afternoon but it will not mean that the MFF challenge the best in five years).
Big clubs guard their positions by various ways sure to have well-stocked club funds.
Of course this is nothing new but last night it came very close. I have never been closer to a more arid big game.
Malmö made a nice effort by their circumstances, I am full of admiration that they kept the numbers down, they appear as a more mature Europe team this year than last year, but that the biggest cheers came in the 65th minute when the team got the corner says something about match the image.
No, I can not wait for Sunday when it rolls Allsvenskan top battle on.
When it comes to the Champions League is a lot of that old soccer poem about it is the way that is worthwhile.
Once in the Champions League is not as fun.
It’s actually not very fun at all, I think.
The Swedish team will surely qualify for the Champions League now and then (it’s good, bringing home the cash only) but they will never have anything in there that do as long as the football world looks as it does today.
