The Super League, yesterday, today, tomorrow | Soccer | Sports

Thursday morning is filled with opinions, articles and expressions about football and its future after it became known that the European justice system had failed (this verb in this use always leads me to confusion, I am used to the fact that failure is synonymous with a goal…or maybe is that it is that) that FIFA and UEFA violate community law with the veto of the SuperLiga. Many friends ask me what this is going to mean for the future of football and, honestly, I don’t really know what to answer them although I have told them all the same thing: “I think what is clear is that Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, ​​well its presidents Florentino Pérez and Joan Laporta, must be in luck since they have won a match that many thought they had lost. And that is something very notable when everyone ran away from that first SuperLiga attempt.”

A decisive match, a key tie, perhaps, a moment in history like that of Bosman and the revolution in terms of mobility of the European player within the EU.

From there, my spyglass doesn’t give me many more clues, although we’ll just have to see how those who abandoned that community of interests react. I don’t know how much it affects the English clubs as it is a European decision, and from there maybe We can draw new conclusions but what I think is very clear is that the time of the football competitions will be measured before and after this December 21, 2023.

You see, this is what the present and future bring us in their Christmas basket, something that has to do with change, its energy and its light but also with its doubts and its shadows. Or with those difficult questions that will have to be resolved in these new times. Well, more than difficult questions, it will be the answers that are going to be difficult and, above all, who or who are going to pay for all this novelty.

Experience tells us that we will have to take measurements for the helmet, but what is the use of experience in these new times and new paradigms of football, I ask myself.

Because I had it very clear when last Saturday I contemplated the black bronze back of that goalkeeper identified with the number 1. Because of his bearing, that bearing that led me to see him in action copying his gestures, his steps, his way of commanding, his way of always being in the right place between the ball and your goal, that feeling that you are safe behind him, that nothing bad can happen to you because those powerful hands will stop any dangerous ball, any initiative from the rival will end in nothing, just scare , and that the ball is already running fast in our counterattack play. Yes, I know, I have a feeling, that powerful sculpture of Iribar, well balanced, serene, with the ball in his hands and his distant gaze, is going to be one of the most Instagrammed spots, with San Mamés behind him, in all of Bilbao.

I myself already took a couple of photos to send to family and friends but I feel that the good place to stand is behind him, with my eyes focused on all those fans who are heading down Pozas Street towards the Cathedral, on that back that He tells us not to worry, that he takes care of everything difficult so that we can enjoy the game.

And while everything rotates and changes, he, Iribar, becomes that buoy to hold on to in times of tribulations and is also the firm point of support. Iribar was always a discreet daredevil, from which to look, challenge and continue moving. the world.
