Xavi and Guardiola, slaves of their model

According to legend, the first football regulations could have been written at Eton College, back in 1815, when half of Europe was asking about the adventures of Napoleon Bonaparte.

After several incidents, which can be found on the network of networks, in 1863 the London Rules emerged, which if you take a look you will see that it still had many debates and many changes until it resembled the football that we all have in our memory, more or less. But one thing was clear: the objective was to score a goal. And goal was to put it between the sticks.

Then Pep Guardiola appeared and wrote a new rule: football is having possession of the ball, making passes, dominating the rival. Scoring goals -only if the opponent scores more than you score-  is secondary.

The climax of this situation occurred in the 2012/2013 season. The music in the video is up to par. Watch the start and go to minute 9. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOHKopBdePs

Celtic had the ball 47 seconds into the second half, enough time to win because the important thing is to score a goal.

Guardiola was no longer there (he had left in the summer) and it was Tito who carried the legacy. In that same season we live the moment in which Xavi Hernández, now bearer of the flame, after a win by Bayern (prelude to those that would come later) said that "in football the result is an impostor".

Not only did he say that in 2013, no doubt he had not understood yet that Mourinho had changed everything. The newspaper library adds other great phrases: "it cannot be that a big club plays like José Mourinho's Real Madrid", of which he added that RM had not left any legacy nor would it be recorded. He also remarked for story that "We do not leave the field dry to play in a potato field, nor do we give 30,000 kicks, nor do we try to heat up a game."

Then he hired Luis Suárez and Piqué became a businessman.

Of course, the grass state classic has returned to our lives. I am pretending to remark that Xavi and Guardiola are slaves to the model, their model. Even less Guardiola, in fact, as was seen at Wanda Metropolitano in UCL. If you have to go to Simeone mode, it happens. It has been good for him to put kilometers with Catalonia Matrix, or the peace of mind of responding with monosyllables to the press published in Spanish. Mou took him out of the lane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6en_M4OKKtQ < p style="text-align: justify;">On this page we name this entire Barça ecosystem the "La Masía State of Mind" mode, now dominant in women's football by the way, in which they make you participate in their liturgies and gloss over their epics. They are, there, as in the Pre-Mou era. When they start losing everything will change. And it will be Real Madrid's fault, of course, for having broken the harmony or whatever.

This is how it has been this year, for Xavi domestically (and in his continental failure) and for Pep at the Bernabéu. As we win, the twisted analyzes return: we are athletes again, we don't have possession, we don't play anything, the goals are luck, Barcelona has gotten more points with Xavi, oh! if we had returned earlier -would Alves say.

Real Madrid's legacy is imposed by Alfredo Di Stefano. Fight the ball and score goals. If you score one, look for the next one. If they put one in you, you must believe until the end in overcoming it. In the sun, in the rain, suffering 50 degrees below zero. Against teams that spend millions and millions of oil or against those who live in ruins but with organizational consent to continue spending without limit. Against whatever. The shirt can be filled with mud but not with shame, you know.

Our team, in a week and a half, will once again be fighting to score goals, wanting again to play for lifting titles.  As Magnus does with his pieces, who, as a good Madridista (this tweet never gets old) wins, but does not propose https://twitter.com/maketolari/status/804224444847759360
