old rockers never die

Age is a variable in football. Well, more than change, it’s something that decreases as the seasons go by, and that’s because today’s stars start out as kids, teenagers, and few veterans seem to remember.

He Seville a great game was scored yesterday in Turin and it is thanks, to a large extent, to the old rockers who do not die and who still have many songs to sing. Using the microphone and as a soloist voice Ivan Rakitic. And this is a Croatian game. With hints of old, he dominates the midfield to such an extent that football schools should consider showing their game. Distribution, arrival, theft and leadership. A complete match.

He’s not the only one. Marcos Acuna, recovered for the cause, in his 31 years, showed what it feels like to dance with the ugliest. To the rhythm of his electric guitar, clamp in hand, he handcuffs first Ángel di María and then Federico Chiesa. Almost nothing. And he has plenty of time to contribute in attack. He anticipated, beat the duels and bit down. More or less like Navas, a chameleonic drummer who started on the sidelines and then went extreme, knew Montiel needed invaluable help. He is 37 years old, but the lungs of a 20 year old.

The youngest in the band is the bassist Lucas Ocampos. Important nights will go for him and despite the fact that the strings soon burst, he left the best melodies. The youngest of the quartet is a delight of claw and offensive power. He managed to score three goals and, seeing that he was not given it, decided to leave it to En-Nesyri. The only bad thing is his injury.

A killer ‘encore’

All concerts with bands like this have their encore. When the time for the concert seems to have expired, there is time for the latter. An iconic song. But in this case not for Sevilla, but for Juventus. The people of Seville looked stupid back then Gatti, with time served, scored with the permission of referee Daniel Siebert. Protests from Sevilla fans but don’t worry, there’s still one more song to play at the Pizjuán.
