Random thoughts from an unconventional Spaniard in the States

.

¡Campeones!

"Tout ce que je sais de plus sûr à propos de la moralité et des obligations des hommes, c'est au football que je le dois."
(Albert Camus)
There we go: Real Madrid is the brand new champion of La Liga, the national soccer league in Spain. I have been a supporter of RM since 1994, and I have seen them winning this competition several times, but this year’s victory has been the most difficult one to achieve by far. Probably because of this, it has also been one of the most rewarding. The quest for beauty that had characterized the team in previous years has been replaced by a strong sense of pragmatism and commitment to win each and every match, to fight until their last breath… and never surrender. Personally, I must confess that I had never been an admirer of Capello’s methods and style, but his work throughout this last year has taught me something important: when it comes to succeeding in a great task, a task which is worth of a great effort, beauty without commitment is doomed to fail. Genius and creativity can never be excuses to justify a lack of will power and hard work, and when they are they become more of a burden than a blessing. I guess you can call it the "eye of the tiger", that we mentioned in yesterday’s post. Felicidades, campeones.
