Montolivo To address this issue, without warning marginal on the stage of European culture, it is far removed from an area of \u200b\u200b' imaginary football, a field of debris, the bed of a river dried up as piles of rusted ribs umbrellas, on which perhaps we broke the nose of the young F. Battiato ( Ionia , 1945).
Many years later, in 2000, this young football player, became a singer, released a album among his most difficult: Magnetic Fields. In track # 2, the philosopher who cares Lentini of the texts reads, more or less like this: "And 'mathematics the language of today, the cries not broken. It is the chorus of the survivors, the Latin with which man Today celebrates the liturgy of extinction, without understanding much. The numbers do not can love. " What we
M. Sgalambro (which is not the coach of Comiso) was referring to was, beyond any reasonable doubt, the epochal change that has allowed a certain point on, players to choose their jersey number between one and ninety-nine.
In all likelihood, the reason liberalization has been so much goodwill towards the esoteric talent of the players, the necessary adaptation to the numerological whirlwind campaign purchases: If the first team had eleven members and a handful of stocks more or less stable throughout the year, today has, as shown by the path of Nick Pirandello's "Dynamite" Amoruso, a potentially unlimited number (or rather, undefined) of athletes, depending on the economic power of presidents and the failures of the season.
So, are legitimate left wing with the number 53, or the median with 46 if there is to implicitly refer to the article of the Constitution preferred the address of his girlfriend at the time he went good for roulette.
in football before the Babel of numbers, it captures more accurately and perhaps not without some taste, the inexplicable correspondence between meaning and sign in the allocation of shirt numbers. Seven of the right wing, the three left-back, nine of the center was not a strict limitation of possible tactics, but the immediate identification of number and area of \u200b\u200bthe camp, the baggage of skills, tools of the trade, a mass Focus talent.
As evidence of the fact that unlimited freedom is a freedom-limiting, with the only conceivable basis undecimale were transgressions and faults, from the elusive "nine and a half" of which here you have a wonderful example, and ending with the subject of this post , Enigma or the number 5.
Strictly speaking, the 5 was and is the number of stopper, the central defender. There is one type of player who can rightly aspire to this shirt.
It is that midfielder who does not play immediately behind the peaks, such as ten, but even that can be confused with the breakwater in front of the defense, calling the four and eight (eight is, for example, Marco Tardelli ).
This player has a wide angle view, because he sees the field to 360 degrees. With his passing, he decides what to do action, whether calm or vote on the attack. Or, walk the ball, because no one can break away from feet.
If this player exists, can not be a Fellini half past eight, it should have some stretch of the center, which however lacks.
may be a four and a half but, apart from the incorrect admixture with the central defender, its added value can not be limited to a fraction, but must draw on one more unit: he is four plus one, 5. Happens then, in such a case, that the stopper move back and play, exceptionally, with the number four jersey.
in the Italian league, players who fit this identikit are A. Pirlo (Milan), D. Marcelo Cortes Pizarro (Roma), R. Montolivo (Fiorentina). In Europe, come to mind C. Fabregas, S. Gerrard and X. Xavi Hernandez Creus in art, respectively, Arsenal, Liverpool and Barcelona (some would say Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid, but it seems to me a blowjob.)
as archetypes, needless to say, Paulo Roberto Falcao.
Why five, one would wonder.
Although not the middle number in the top eleven (that is six), 5 seems to encompass a compelling principle of convergence. It is no coincidence that it gives to those players that pass through constantly the game of the team. The mind and heart, carried in the mind or heart, what inspires and moves the limb achieves. To be the center, 5 can play everywhere, then it is not him who is out of place, but it means that the center has shifted, and all must be organized again around that motor touring.
