I, the tourist

One day I will visit England, and I believe all the things Simon put on our task for doing in five days, I´m gonna do in one day, at most two. And then probably I´ll try to get to know the city, by bike, I like to know the places where I go, cause if some day I came back, I would like to introduce the places that I know to the people that I´m with. And because the city shows different things than a museum, or something for the tourist. I like being a real tourist, the tourist that wants to know a different reality to the common things.

Futball Futball Futball!!!

Football I think is one of the best games of all. That is cause it has all the ingredients, you have a team game, with pasion and it is aggressive, but not violent. although sometimes when the players are too emotional, they turn violent.
The thing is you need to be in good shape, and be intelligent, cause if you dont play intelligently, it is very likely you will lose.
Football is like poker, you dont play with your own cards, you play with the mind of the enemy. But to do that you need to play very often, to get to know all the technicalites and create your own skills, and like jazz music let the magic flow.
But something that it is very important in Football, is “la maña” thats means you have to be aggressive, and show your opponent you are not a pussy. You have big balls and if you want to pass in front of me, probably you going to get hurt. And if you want to laugh at me, for sure the next time you are gonna be regreting the thing you did before.
In simple words you need to show character, and not weakness. Thats is the difference between a good player and a the player that moves the team.
I´m not always that guy, it is something you win implicitly in your team, showing that character, but not always playing in the same way. Thats depends on the people that i´m playing with.
This game when i was a child, I played every day and with all my friends of the neighborhood. My parents always gave me trainers or balls for my birthday. I really enjoy that game.

Why not?


Well obviously this is a biased opinion, but if i have to say some one, that would Marcelo Salas. why? probably are you asking that,but this guy was the best artist in his discipline. it is very difficult being an artist in some non artistic discipline, i mean everybody can make a amazing painting or a song, but this guy, was an artist in another field, not in a place where you need to be one, but he did it.

Lets take a look at history, there are is a lot of guys that did things for Chile, like Andres bello, bernardo O´higgins or Alberto Hurtado. But all of them, did what they had to do, I´m not saying that this was irrelevant, they are important for today, but one thing they didn´t feel and they never could feel, if the passion of being a bullanguero! that is something you only can feel living in this life. And it is one, and Macerlo Salas even had a song, and not a bad song, an amazing song... Matador of Los fabulosos Cadilac a group of music in Argentina. How can you describe that? everyone knows him like El matador.

He is the guy that scored more goals in the history of Chile and scored two goals in England, when Chile played against England and everybody was expecting that England would win, but non of the English was expecting some guy from the south of Chile after a amazing pass of the mythical Coto Cierra, the Matador, Marcelo Salas stopt the ball in the air, almost killed her in a second, it was like the ball already knew what was going on, and in a perfect timing he shot with the other leg. The stadium stayed quiet, only a few insignificant chileans and the reporters that came to cover the news were cheering the goal. The world knew about the best chilean of the history.
