Orchestral Football

Reminiscing the old days, if i ask myself, "What i miss the most?" The answer invariably is the smooth vintage football, good old Real Madrid used to play with the galacticos. The one-two’s between Ronaldo and Zidane, the great left flank runs of Roberto Carlos, the dribbling of Figo, the instinctive finishing of Raul, the fortress called Casillas, the good old chapter of Florentino Perez era in the history of Real Madrid - Florentino Perez, who envisioned the most beautiful form of football on earth and got an ensemble cast of greats of the bygone era to deliver the goods. And what followed was pure symphony of Football, which seemed orchestrated by the bullying cast who if they were musicians it would be Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Rachmaninov, Brahms, Farandole, et cetera. All gathered together to deliver the most beautiful musical extravaganza. Probably it created chaos in the hall as to who was the best and instead of creating the most beautiful musical piece, they ended up as an example of chaotic camaraderie but they sure did give some master class moments - moments which when seen retrospectively seem so great and out of the world which makes one think, "If that was what people called mediocre form - what is best form??" Pure magical moments, which are lost! Which might never return. Such an ensemble cast will never return... adios beautiful football... adios symphony - trance and heavy metal can take over!
