“Tell me how you play, and I’ll tell you who you are.”

“Luckily on the field you can still see, even if only once in a long while, some insolent rascal who sets aside the script and commits the blunder of dribbling past the entire opposing side, the referee and the crowd in the stands, all for the carnal delight of embracing the forbidden adventure of freedom.”

Thus wrote Eduardo Galeano, who passed away yesterday.



He also said:

“A style of play is a way of being that reveals the unique profile of each community and affirms its right to be different...Tell me how you play, and I’ll tell you who you are.”
