TheBigAristotle posted:A nice piece on a player for whom I have nothing but man-crush feelings. I wish that people would just create a lexicon to discuss movement/intelligence rather than masturbating over the concept of space and 'arriving at just the right time' like every single football article that's been released in the past few years (including a few of mine) it's not like a spiritual or mysterious occurrence. People do the same poo poo when they talk about Ozil as though he's some loving incredible disappearing magician. I think people are drawn to writing about football because it has an atmosphere of romanticism and mystery and they can say whatever the gently caress they want because the game hasn't been completely quantified, but it has gotten out of hand.
