  • Versado, Siempre Defendió Que Nunca Aprendió Tanto De Sí Mismo Y De Sus Compañeros Como En Un Terreno De Juego
    Luis Aragonés era adicto al olor de la hierba. Para Kevin Keegan, único inglés con dos Balones de Oro, lo más difícil en la vida es “encontrar algo para reemplazar al fútbol, porque no hay nada”. Jorge Valdano, un filósofo muy versado, siempre defendió que nunca aprendió tanto de sí mismo y de sus compañeros como en un terreno de juego. Pep Guardiola tiene claro que lo que caracteriza a un buen entrenador es “lo que los jugadores dirá de él cuando todo haya terminado”. Desligarse del deporte rey es psicológicamente complejo, ha llegado a causar profundas depresiones. Por ello, la mayoría de futbolistas construyen un puente. Se hacen ‘scouts’, pasan al mundo de la representación, se forman como directivos. Pero los más osados, o puede que los más inconscientes, dan el salto al banquillo. Del lugar más cómodo pasan al más complicado. Da igual que hayan vivido en la élite o tenido una trayectoria modesta, la tendencia a esa metamorfosis cada vez es mayor. Es un buen momento para pulsar esa evolución del césped a la pizarra, moneda tan corriente en este siglo XXI. 7 de agosto de 2020. El City acaba de apear al Real Madrid en octavos de final de la Champions. Minutos después, apenas dos siluetas quedan en el césped. Pep Guardiola, jersey y pantalón de pinza, está sentado sobre la nevera de las bebidas isotónicas. Habla y gesticula, cabeza ladeada. Zinedine Zidane, manos en los bolsillos de un elegante traje negro, con el toque informal de unas zapatillas deportivas, oye y asiente. Siete Champions frente a frente, dos en el campo, cinco en los banquillos.
