"I 've seen Kubala dribbling with his hips, Eurogio Martinez dribbling sideways , Di Stefano using his imagination to reshape the football field or disguising himself as a goal post , Klui My husband scored a goal with his bangs..." Manuel Vázquez Montalbán MV Football great Manuel Vázquez Montalbán ’s book Football: A Religion in Search of God has been published posthumously, published in In the year, two years after the death of this versatile intellectual , versatile writer, poet , novelist , essayist, there was a version that took care of his son Daniel Vázquez Sellés ) , worried about fulfilling his father 's wishes when "he began selecting articles about the world of football that he had written during his journalism career and intending to publish them . " " From his first article in Triunfo magazine to his last, so much time has passed Over the course of these three decades, football wandered down many paths or made mistakes until it looked and will do so over the course of this millennium : Religion in the hands of large multinational corporations . The longest chapter of the book , which takes up just over half the page, is titled “ Barcelona - Madrid : Necessary Enemies .”
For Manuel Vázquez Montalbán , football is “ a sport that allows us to have a religious experience that is fundamental to our emotional ecosystem . ” Perhaps it is worth always remembering that football really depends on the footballers , them and the fans: " No one becomes a fan because of the prestige of the coach or the club president ." Like many other sports , but above all, football has become a mass phenomenonbecause it has been creating "great gods who can become contemporary myths , as close to classical myths as Differently, they are a verifiable presence transmitted to us by his aura , but also UAE Phone Number by his photography .” Vázquez Montalbán is Knowing how to look at football as early as the beginning of the century or even earlier "had been lost until era with its initial internal logic and getting closer to the status of a design drug. " The 2018 World Cup will end "the era of wonderful football and open the era of football as a religion that is an important part of transnational capitalism . " Today, Vázquez Montalbán writes in Today: “Football is the secular religion of postmodern Europe, the parishioners are the social bombs , in a country that has not yet overcome what psychologists call the prelogical age . Delay explodes in the hands of leaders .” It is also " one of the few mechanisms people use to actively participate in subcultures ." Maradona For decades, football has been demonized by most intellectuals in Europe , " who limit themselves to thinking about football, or at best demonize it as the modern opium of the people . " At the same time , this A phenomenon develops until it becomes an " object ".
Reflections on the postmodern hallmarks of popular participation and the neuroticization of this participation . " While until recently European football was understood as " an alarming symptom of a mass rebellion that was being trifled with ", in Latin America it is not uncommon for football to end up being a philosophical debate . Vázquez Montalbán was aware of what football had become in the last years of the last century , as we have seen it : a religion designed as a drug and an essential part of transnational capitalism . I, like him , am one of those who "rely on the magical moments of players like Maradona and continue to believe that football has not finally become a pact between gangs ". " Football was called the opium of the people during the dictatorship period , and has become a hard drug for democratic countries to control the loneliness of the masses due to lack of planning and contradictions among the masses ." And, like him , I also believe that football “is a magical ritual that depends on the patience and impatience of the heart.” “ Football has always been the exercise of epic power by the people; it was and is a tool for redirecting collective aggression into non -political channels; but from another perspective, it also served as a blow-off valve for the frustrations of the people on the streets and, as such , served as a toilet for the country's dysfunctional social conscience. role." I usually argue that the only area where my rationality is suspended , not entirely, but semi- consciously unconscious , is in football, when I delve into its pre- logical , almost supernatural nature .
