Italy: zero tituli I've always been a huge sports fan.
Obviously I prefer a practical rather than seeing it on TV, but I must say that all football and cycling (as well as basketball, athletics, rugby), on important occasions, world / Olympic games, I always follow them.
The charm of the undisputed global competition comes from the comparison of different schools at the national level, and the natural competition it brings.
This comparison is much more evident in team sports, where it matters very mentality del gruppo, che è l'unione di singoli elementi che rappresentano un'intera nazione, il prodotto migliore che un territorio esprime in un dato momento per quel settore.
Possiamo dire che in una rappresentativa nazionale viene rappresentata abbastanza fedelmente la cultura di una nazione.
Lo dico con leggerezza, intuitivamente, ma si può dimostrare abbastanza facilmente.
Oltre gli aspetti prettamente pratici dello sport, quindi, mi affascinano anche i risvolti psicologici che nascono dal confronto/scontro tra persone e culture diverse.
E poi mi piace perchè da dei riferimenti certi, sicuri e meritocratici.
perchè nello sport ognuno è costretto a smettere la maschera che eventualmente indossa nella vita di tutti i giorni.
Se fai il brillante, lavori come un mulo, lecchi il culo sistematicamente, la carriera lavorativa è assicurata, ma nello sport...insomma, devi anche essere bravo!! (questo almeno ad alti livelli)
E quindi
I mondiali di atletica appena conclusi hanno fatto riaffiorare una considerazione fatta già in occasione della fallimentare Confederation Cup di calcio.
Prima faccio un riepilogo sommario dei risultati ottenuti nel 2009 negli sport più praticati:
Calcio: Nessun risultato a livello internazionale per le squadre di club, risultati sconfortanti per la Nazionale
Basket: Italia per la prima volta fuori dagli europei!! A livello di club Benin, Siena (Inter's basketball).
Athletics: No medal
Water Polo: Male
the World Cup Volleyball World League, the bad, the good club for that matter
Rugby: One of the worst 6 nations played
Cycling: Bettini The following is by no means encouraging, we can win the World Cup but for the whole season the Italians have absconded
This total failure that caused anger and embarrassment to virtually all sports fans, it is no accident, but the consequence of involution that is taking place for years (in our country rather than elsewhere), at a dizzying rate. I take as a reference national sport, football. First
recent failures are the result of the smaller number of practitioners on which to draw. If 20 years ago 500 000 boys played football, now playing in 300 000, the others are divided between the gym, beauty centers, auditions for Big Brother and especially Playstation. It 'clear that the probability of good players fish decrease.
not all, beyond the numerical aspect is the psychological and social. If 20 years ago
500 000 children playing football and wanted to become champions at all costs as Pele, now 200 000 boys want to become champions like Cristiano Ronaldo, 100 000 and just want to be famous, to have this much needed visibility enough to have fun (because the ball is no longer enough to have fun) and fuck some tissue.
You may have noticed that over time change models also used as a benchmark and with the perpetrators of this vicious circle will be less and less successful models.
What is the result? what we have seen and will probably continue to see. Teams with high technical levels, but perhaps without personality, without passion, because it almost always wins in the sport who has even more desire to win. The majority of our representatives has been fully satisfied, because for them the greatest aspiration is not so much winning, live sports business, pass themselves as being of the characters in view. And I
Gongolo a bit 'because it becomes increasingly evident to even the most obtuse pantofolaio tele-dependent, that our cultural level borders on absolute zero.
Force Brazil!
