"" Winning the League only? Would be a failure. The end of a cycle ... I would have to resign the president, leaving the coach and take most of the players . " Pep Guardiola responds to a reporter after the final of Copa del Rey. A parenthesis in parenthesis because I'm tired of hearing / reading nonsense / nonsense / generalizations without rigor. Cruyff
Since the popularization of the term "change cycle" is one of the topics with more boldness and rashness soba the press, especially the sports, of course. As in a question and answer contest where you had to activate a button, the sportswriter is capable to be a cake for being the first to signal a change of cycle. Wherever, whatever, at any price.
- Tennis is a sport where more importance is the mind. Firmness, motivation, self esteem, coldness, ability to read the game ... Elements, combined or separately, often marked differences between the very good players, excellent, and passing into history. And one of the major strengths of Nadal. And Lendl. And Edberg. And Federer. And Bjorg. And Sampras. And the mature Agassi. Not Becker. Not Ivanisevic. Not the first Agassi. Not Bruguera.
- Nadal has won five times less than any of the big tournaments of land (not counting tournament Madrid false and without story in its next edition, is determined to charge a tradition as is the red dirt track, and yes Barcelona).
- Nadal is in full maturity. He has 24 years and has nine Grand Slams and if I remember correctly, nineteen Masters 1000. If you enjoy this maturity is because all these years has been used to grow, to form, just as he was, has been accumulating titles under his belt.
- Factor Federer: This development has coincided in time with the fullness of who happens to be, for many, the best player ever, a man with a track record of vertigo that the Spaniard has won five Grand Slam finals and another number of Masters 1000 final. The balance of wins favor for years to Nadal in a landslide. The two players have flown above the rest so that their occasional defeats always interpreted as an accident, making any other game in mediocrity.
- Federer's decline coincides with a significant identity crisis Nadal. After six years of duels with the Swiss, and having defeated on all surfaces, Rafa must feel that he has nothing to prove. Its superiority over the rest have revealed evident throughout this time, with the other players of today, like yesterday, they used to whisk thoroughly. More than five years of successful outcome duels the best player ever (come to agree as well), undermine the motivation of a player with an acute load of romance.
- Nadal is better than Djokovic. The Serbian is unsightly. No he can run, he can not move, is clumsy and uncoordinated. An unscrupulous slugger, however, has a mission, as the English had before: to make Nadal humbled. However, history has shown that as much to intimidate a brown beast, the throne just in the hands of artists later or earlier. The muscle is often limited and wear and examples are in abundance. Nadal reached number one when he learned to run more efficiently, optimize their physical resources and placed on the track. The apparent sophistication of his technique has also allowed Wimbledon to win twice.
- Djokovic has no head. Suffice to miss two straight games for your self esteem to become entangled in questions and deactivate these primitive screams giving so suspiciously with his troupe Serbia. Except McEnroe, no player was able to settle hysterical at the top, but the American self-esteem had a missile test, something that lacks the Balkans.
- Nadal is better than anyone. Just feels like an orphan child, suddenly forced to become the head of household. Dad Federer, the referent seems to have left the rod on the pillow after, while the child slept, a farewell kiss on the head to go on a journey of no return. The next morning, a bewildered Nadal does not understand why anyone has to defend himself, why prove anything, being as it is the best in the world. Federer dad knew, but it is not to proud to assure you the neighbors, colleagues, work mates. Now, the small Nadal gnaws at the conscience nailed him so many knives.
