Another one-sentence gem:

In this era of tactical innovation and ideological devotion—when José Mourinho and Pep Guardiola made their respective styles of impenetrable defenses and free-flowing attacks the sport’s dominant paradigms; when Diego Simeone perfected a hellishly intense defense-and-counters gameplan that won Atlético Madrid La Liga, brought them to the brink of two Champions League trophies, and laid the groundwork for the similarly astounding underdog success of Leicester and Monaco; when Jürgen Klopp and his German contemporaries proved that high and hard defending can be just as creatively fruitful as attacking—it’s a little odd that Real Madrid, the club of undefinable greatness, the masters of crosses and headers, have won the biggest trophy the most often.

Standard, inoffensive "Ronaldo to [anywhere but here]" article, but I just wanted the chance to post this single sentence:

quote:

In another article on the topic, Marca lays out Ronaldo’s litany of complaints: He is “hurt and annoyed” by the tax case’s entire existence, since he feels like he’s done nothing wrong; he does not feel like the club has adequately backed him, despite Real releasing a statement that they believe in his innocence; he thinks the whole tax ordeal is actually Real’s fault, because it was the club that advised him on how to partition his salary after a major change to Spain’s tax laws came into effect around the time he joined the team; and, again, he believes he’s being treated unfairly, made an example of by the tax authorities even though he’s tried to be cooperative and proactive about remedying any perceived discrepancies.

His special power is to find space, space invisible to the non-Raumdeuter, and spread into it like a plume of smoke, or a form of insidious footballing dry rot. This is what he produced against Juventus, a frictionless occupation by stealth, always moving – if not moving that much – in search of the single most vital commodity in elite modern football: space, the final and, in fact, pretty much only, frontier. The fact that Müller coined this term himself in a newspaper interview makes it even better. He's sidled in there, that sneaky Raumdeuter. He's found a niche and filled it with himself, no mean feat for a man who doesn't really look like a footballer at all but instead has an endearingly amateurish air, tousle‑haired and skinny-legged, like a junior doctor on a fun run.
