House of Thoughts: Two lights

Best Player. While sense cannot within itself disagree with Messi’s quality or contradict the proclamations of his excellence, reason can defend the idea he is not insanely brilliant – cue Ronaldo. 

Statistics: Active participation or keen observation of the game furthers the understanding of the irrelevance and marginal significance of numbers. They are raw and innately objective but by no measure of imagination representative of an even environment. They derive their value from true actions - acts that deserve attention and examination.

True actions: Moments and instances – tangible expressions - that generate source(s) (complete) of observations and interpretations. Beyond “collectives” – (Dribbles, shots, passes), these are single isolated incidents that comprise the greater attribute or event: hardly definable but clearly evidential. True actions are perpetual, virtual considerations of our senses (nearly subconsciously). A true action involves body positioning, mental decisiveness, circumstance appreciation, physical movement and real-time awareness in one solidly combined situation at a particularly (cosmically; within an experience context) specific individual point in History.

Events: Basis of argument for current intelligence and inspirations for contemporary emotions. Events are compilations of progressive true actions; a sequential consolidation of activities/tasks. Timing and work (planning and execution) comprise the essential characteristics of events. Technology facilitates the cultivation and analysis (or rather deeper/prolonged observation) of performance [actionable factors] elements. There is a clear disregard for attitude/personality (and its presentation) that must be established – it is an undeniable contribution to merit but not excellence or due(s).
Side note: an event remains its definition regardless of achieved goal/success. A goal and a shot are equally classified as events.

Refined(pointed) statistical singularities:

Messi: First player to score five goals in a Champions League match appearance.

(whoscored)

This feat is special for the extraordinary unlikeliness of the performance. It is widely unexpected that a footballer can manage five successful shooting events in one playing period. However, it is not  greatly surprising that Messi should achieve such a feat. Particularly against a weak Bayer Leverkusen; quality/talent are not translation agents of a team's skill architecture. This suggests there is no guarantee of staying power in all actualities. There exists a counter-mechanism for every force a team possesses. On the night, Bayer Leverkusen failed to show spirit in either attack or defense - there was an extreme failure to push towards victory. The team painted a picture of severe deflation. No passion/determination allowed a Messi (who was not spectacular - or randomly so) to attain a new height. A height that didn't pose any exceedingly difficult challenges to reach.

Ronaldo: First player to complete a Champions League match appearance with perfect passing accuracy.

This feat is special not for the extraordinary unlikeliness of the performance. It is plausibly expected that a footballer can manage 100% successful passing events in one playing period - an expectation rooted a distance from historically-based prediction. However, it is wholly outside of contemplation that Cristiano Ronaldo could achieve this feat - for a sole reason, no adventure ends without scrapes. A majority of events involving Ronaldo are "wild"(uncontested territory, new, strange, abnormal, risky) and display an absence of caution. It is to reason to believe that he could not achieve such a record. Even more so against Manchester City - Champions. Whilst Real Madrid were in an ultimate zone during the match - immersed in a feeling of invincibility and superiority, Ronaldo's events were an illustration of impeccable(untainted) finesse. 

(whoscored)

A momentous performance capped with a virtuoso "situational element." The goal was testament to his magnificence. It shined with a charm encapsulated in its difference and effectiveness(result).



It is impratical to categorize all these events(Cristiano's passes and Lionel's goals) in uniform evelopment. It is imperative to distinguish these events and mark the unique input(s) and output(s) which could only be optimally absorbed through visual study. 

You cannot win a war that cannot be fought. But you can lose a battle you never entered. Player comparisons is financing for fanatic souls. An eternal debate. 

Context: 2012 Champions League Final

Coliseum Decay

A poet's defense of Blue football

Built majestically with spirit of intent and around a core of channeled creativity; the football display available for viewing on a weekly basis - often more frequently - in the town of Catalunya has received as high and loud and sincere and pervasive praise as merit could be due; beyond all bounds of objectivity and decency.

Intricate, overwhelming, breathtaking, understated, special and boundary-pushing: purpose of use pursues meaning to fullest contemporary relevance and significance. No longer cliché, just classic.

Beauty is a term without standard battered with aberrant attempts of uniformity in application. A term often associated with Barca’s prescribed playing brand. A brand with emphasis on ball possession; a concept inherently etched into the playing gene of Catalan representatives: an unnatural desire to protect the sphere.

Attack and defense are but thematic schemes engaged and activated by operating entities in the broader paradigm supporting their existence: football. Each theme is a definite partial representation of an overall balance. Nonetheless, there is no ground to breach the sanctity of sustained and innovative growth with conclusive attribution of value and meaning to each half. However, for sake of debate; submission to generally accepted perceptions is necessary.

Attacking: progression with intent on scoring

Defending: preventing concession

Masses have proclaimed the correlation between beauty and attacking to be true and real. It is implied with strength beyond faith; the underlining objective of a match is goal creation; even before victory. In fullness of constitution, beauty and footballing play interlock where senses and experience meet precisely and greatly: in excellent fashion. Sparks with electrical intensity emancipate from combination to independent matter roaming free - for however long - together with perspective(s) in moment. And indiscriminately so.

All in life, and football, is neutral before the intervention of thought as was theorized by Shakespeare. Neutrality describes situations that do not impede on the nature and order of the environment and participants within internally and extrinsically established doctrines. No addition, no subtraction; simply numbers. Football is an abstract masterpiece open to interpretations that remain solely so. Elements drive organizational identity for forefront reach and focal point presence. Appease with endothermic touch: forget the cold entirely and bear warmest exclamations: survive within hottest affection.

Corrode the irons composing tradition’s grasp. Feed liberation and entice exploration with sights and visions evoked with - in its mightiest charm - intentional eye for evolution; in change and progression. No foundational support lasts. No matters can be sustained within. All fabric evaporates. Completely extinguished, suffocated and exterminated: watch folks, there goes the Pep in his step.

In close -- Purpose does not age but must be found and in other circumstances identified

The soul is the hardest; entirely difficult and true. What starts as rock to metamorphose into pun embellishes in debris and surroundings to become mass and not weight; the rolling down a snow hill experience. 

Quests for identity and victory should be perfectly perpendicular. A merging of visions. The winning way realization.
