Dybala, the football poet

I think Dybala’s action and goal against Inter shows that this player belongs to the third category of players described by Osvaldo Soriano in Futbol. Football stories.

“There are three kinds of players. Those who see the free spaces, the same spaces that any fool can see from the stands and you see them and you are happy and you feel satisfied when the ball falls where it should fall. Then there are those who suddenly make you see a free space, a space that you yourself and maybe others could have seen if they had watched carefully. They take you by surprise. And then there are those who create a new space where there shouldn’t have been any space. These are the prophets. The poets of the game.”Risultato immagini per gol dybala juve inter

 

Higuain and Dybala: it’s difficult to play always at the best

Higuain and Dybala are the latest example of how two champions should be in crisis for the pressure due to the demand to play at their best, that for a striker means to score goals. This request is the essence of their work but that sometimes collide with the way of thinking and living the emotions. In fact, the need to always match the expectations of the club, fans, media and sponsors stimulates on the one hand, a pleasant feeling to feel important and valued so highly positive but of course it has a cost, consisting in the duty to live up to this request. This creates tensions which result in a negative effect on performance and, therefore, this explains the goals not scored by Higuain and the penalties missed by Dybala. Episodes easy to overcome said Allegri, Juventus coach, focusing on the next matches. Personally, I think these guys  need someone who can listen to their fears, teaches the players to accept these moments as part of what they do and  teaches them to stay focused on their skills when they get the doubts and concerns. Usually this is the work of the psychologist: The family or friend role is relevant. In fact,they have to provide a psychological and physical context in which to be able to be themselves and not the champions, but it will not help to solve these problems.
