Sympathy Messages Loss Of A Mother

"Messi" (my article on Yahoo)



begins:

Lio Messi is a great player, but also a symbol, a dream, a mythical character, a gnome player, a demigod embodied that captures the imagination and emotions of millions of people worldwide. Therefore, some reflections on the phenomenon:

* For Argentines, we feel ours is the proof that we can. If an Argentine can therefore also have another chance. The top talent globally admired athlete lifts the rod and also the possibilities of shared dreams and aspirations. The best thing can happen in Argentina. One need not be the first world, being here the first world can be at your feet. Yes, then we can make adjustments to the idea: it was in Argentina but in Barcelona where he developed such a talent, not the best but the best sports supreme, and so on. However, its value in aspiration and motivating accomplished is not discussed. Unless you think that the greatest figures, while we extol, depress us, discourages talented who realistically sees that he can never get that far. Is the double edge of the deities: motivate, but also destroy, obscure, heavy.

* not be the same passion if the character was not, well, charming. I refer not only to him who is humble and simple, but it has Pajarón face. They see his smile, his tenderness, as if, all shows that Messi is in a class of vulnerable normal. For that stresses its strength, because not accompanied by any sign of arrogance or conceit. We must be strong to have so much talent, much more for seats that level of global exposure, this demand for excellence in the most watched sport in the world. Not accompanied by any sign of arrogance or conceit: no superhero Messi contemptuous look, you look bungler. This mixture of weakness with superiority is what makes it so disarming and loveable.

* is a case where what dazzles is the simplicity. His game is clean, clear, direct. The effectiveness seems easy. His extreme speed is a gift, but seeing your game it seems basic and obvious. It is a nice metaphor to inspire other achievements, one that helps us to avoid the path of moonlighting and the complexity excessive. Messi plays easy, free. His mastery reveals almost no effort. This also creates the illusion that their achievements are not so, although any mortal knows that this is an illusory effect: the lightness does not happen as often as one wishes and requires innate gifts. (Something that happens when you go to dunk a basketball player, one feels that if he had the ball in his hand would do the same without problems, but was soon disappointed when they finally tried ...)

* Complete myth the story of his trip to Barcelona overcome the disease, support of parents, his persistence, subsequent appreciation, and successive thrashings become inexhaustible. Yours seems a "model case" for a future reader. The boy with the rebanca difficulties and ends up being king of all the guys. Messi is an idol because child focus to the World's Children, a sort of Peter Pan: the boy who managed to complete the greatest fantasy, the child still a child even though part of the adult world.
