Football, for it as unjust, like flying careers and explode in flight. The scorer, yet judged on performance, that is to say, its goals, is the number one victim. Today at Manchester United, as well as Radamel Falcao Robin van Persie suffer differently, the expectations placed on them. Have they become too strong too fast? Or are they simply the victims of a completely unfair game?
The timing of the striker is the well-known concept that measures the ability of a number 9 to arrive at the right time on the ball, or ensure that the ball is timely on him, we do not know too much. But behind it is another. Not another striker, but another timing, which takes more time, waits years and break careers. This one, he looks at the ground with the vision of a number 10 and breaks all Nos 9 one by one, sooner or later. This timing is one of success and failure.
How many great front-centers can claim to have never known period of doubt? The object has its secrets, and few men managed to never fall while trying to discover them. The greatest of all, Ronaldo, even almost never recover. The relationship between life and purpose Luis Suárez is coming off the first months "complicated" in Barcelona. On his eleven seasons played in the colors of Milan, Pippo Inzaghi has seen in five to more than 10 league goals. Yet if there is one that must have understood everything, it was him ... Even Andrey Shevchenko has experienced nightmares misfire repeatedly. Didier Drogba has been slow to unfold, while Dwight Yorke quickly disappeared. Karim Benzema has rubbed many demons. Finally, the fate of Fernando Torres could become a textbook case of the great scorers in spiritual struggle with the cruelty of their tool.Manchester United, play and goals
Early in the season, all English pubs repeated that Manchester United had committed the sin of buying too many attackers. In the cold and prestige of the training center of the Red Devils, Louis van Gaal could actually count on his friend Robin van Persie, the star Radamel Falcao, Captain Wayne Rooney and even Ángel Di María. Today, the accumulation of scorers did not overdose goals, far from it. The authoritarian coach does not hesitate to point out: "It's true. Van Persie can not deny it, Falcao can not deny it, and Rooney does not play much anymore. At the moment, we lack a striker able to plant twenty goals. " Van Persie and Falcao would be so incapable? The problem would be the scorers? Listening to Van Gaal, Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao should be at the height of Sergio Aguero and Diego Costa in the scoring charts, with 17 goals each. This discussion raises two issues.
On one hand, Sergio Aguero and Diego Costa primarily benefit the game of their respective teams, which may not be attackers from Manchester United. But that Van Gaal knows it. On the other hand, which are really Van Persie and Falcao today? In Manchester, the arrival of Robin van Persie has coincided with the best period of his career. This transfer in 2012, was a highway of happiness, the last stroke of genius of Sir Alex Ferguson. After goleador season to 30 goals for Arsenal, Van Persie coming to Manchester and scored 26 to offer last title at Old Trafford. Pressure resistance, masterpieces, incarnation of the cynic of a married club to victory all seemed writing. But around this time almost unreal, who dared to read the story? Between 2005 and 2009, Van Persie, Emmanuel Adebayor brings less to Arsenal 34 goals with a ratio of 0.38 goals per game, 46 goals against and 0.44 for the Togolese. Moreover, in 2009, Van Persie is 26 and comes out of the most complete season with only 11 goals. After two seasons accomplished for the Gunners between 2010 and 2012, Van Persie sign in Manchester, and then down to earth after 2013: 12 goals in 21 games last season, 10 in 23 this season. His destiny, from the beginning, is that of an albatross: the man with infinite arms have had a difficult take-off, a short but majestic flight and a quick dip. But if Van Gaal expected to find a surefire Ruud van Nistelrooy (6 seasons with over 30 goals), he was fooled by the deceptive timing of the career of Van Persie.Falcao dropped from the
The fate of Falcao is turned in the other direction. At 26, the Colombian was already on another planet and seemed to have a few years ahead. From 2009 to 2013, El Tigre out four consecutive seasons with over 34 goals scored. Four Seasons boosted by two extraordinary European campaigns, he no longer knows since. Subsequently, it is a long journey that saw the Colombian martyr: swung to Monaco and Manchester United in planned projects and canceled at the last minute, the Colombian is lost: 11 goals in 19 games last year, 4 in 16 games this season. In football, only the striker can take such dimension and fall in such a short time. A defender or a medium always depend too much of the game. The scorer, he can take shortcuts. Like a secret garden, the goal fascinating. And when someone manages to walk there, the crowd seems to require that the canonized immediately. Santo subito, the Italians say.
Falcao is a scorer down full golden age, as was before him Fernando Torres. Injuries and misguided transfers fell at the wrong time, as if, after dozens of small well negotiated mountains turns, donkey crossed surgically, both drivers had experienced mechanical problems on the highway, in full line. While it should be at the top, it is not even the holder and seems to have no support. That fateful moment of a career, to 28-29 years is the time when Van Persie has finally managed to hold a full season and demonstrate its true value, at the right club. Unfair timing history. Like Torres, do Falcao was too much too fast? Would they have preferred to wait 28-29 years to sign the seasons of their lives, and in the process one last lucrative contract on the table and eternal gratitude on a plate?The goal phenomenon offside
On all the lawns of the world, the story continues. At West Ham season Diafra Sakho is another example of the vagaries of the goal. After planting 7 times in his first nine appearances, the center forward has scored only three times in 11 games thereafter. In three months, so it's gone from being phenomenon fearless than scorer in trouble. In Argentina, Gustavo Bou is the leading center of Racing in a style similar to that of Djibril Cisse. Renowned for its technical limits, the player is still planted two consecutive triplets in the Copa Libertadores, and may soon make a small tour in Europe, so that no one expected. A case of ketchup, say Van Nistelrooy? Finally, the truth may lie in the nature of the game Football is naturally inclined to shine shots. The middle 90 minutes of intensity and lost duels, one can solve a sharp game. And some heartfelt sharp can even build a career. Undecided, punctual, inconstant, arrhythmic, football will always have to grow very fast players, before breaking them immediately. The scorers are those who benefit the most, but also the only that can die.
