The role that journalism's game horror The defeat of the Selection Argentina for 3 to 1 against Brazil left many issues to debate. Among them, the lack of identity in the nation as a whole game, the defensive failures, lack of forcefulness in the attack, connection problems between the midfield and strikers, the discussion or may not have a "new" area, public influence on the field of Rosario Central, changes in the starting lineup to visit Paraguay and the many explanations for the low performance of Lionel Messi in the team albiceleste.
also not strange to note that in television, on radio and in newspapers turned, somehow, to primary school because, with three dates for the final of the Cup , began to use the calculator to do math in the standings and, therefore, possible to predict different outcomes of direct competitors (Colombia, Ecuador, Uruguay and Venezuela), which may encourage the cast leading Diego Armando Maradona to get the ticket to 2010 World Cup.
However, despite that paraded a few points of reflection, I did not see, hear or read the analysis of the relationship journalism or journalism-football coach.
What I mean by this? I believe that in the week before the game against Brazil was an excessive exposure of the Argentine players and coach on TV. I do not think desirable until just hours before a match, they continue to make notes to the actors, when they spoke the same thing repeatedly.
By the way, what more can you say a defender, a goalkeeper or a striker in the absence of 45 minutes to start a game? From here there are two conclusions:
1. Firstly, it is clear that the mass media greatly need the word of the protagonist and, in turn, they crave it (several times unfairly) for having first live interview or exclusive and to leave the off-side competition in power.
2. On this question I pose also have responsibility players and coach, and they obviously have the right to say "no." The problem is that they do not. Let's face it, most love to go to programs or out on the covers of newspapers, right?
During the days of team training on site at Ezeiza, which precede a Cup match, there are days in which the press has access to cover the practice and then attending a conference, speaking two or three players (chosen by the coaching staff or even the same building) and there is a special day on which the statements pertain only to the coach.
Also in this case, attention received by journalists, is sensed, is not enough because at the end of each conference is very common to see some reporters who try and often fail to note "mano a mano" or mobile phone with the player who just moments ago talking to all , can I explain? A journalistic standards, does it serve?, Is it necessary? CRITERIA
With that, then, no more conferences should be organized, if after each Noter going to try to make notes exclusively. Of course, the way the player that everyone wants to interview will be a real "butcher" (remember, if you do not know, that in a workout at the level of selection is usually more than 100 journalists).
I suggest two things that occurred in the last days (related to the Argentine national team) and give closure to the concept that I developed on these lines. In this way you will end up forming their opinions and if they want, they can share in the blog:
1. On Friday September 4, 2009, a day before the classic Brazil, the Fox Sports did a live mobile from Rosario with Maradona, who had come to Santa Fe minutes ago and who, it is clear it had given a press conference 24 hours before!
2. Not to be outdone, the production of Midnight Gol (TyC Sports) arranged for this Friday, but at night, a live mobile with DT in Argentina. The hosts of Gaston Recondo and Marcelo Palacios, interviewed him for several minutes, so much so that Maradona made the sign of "cut it, I have to go to sleep." And so Martin Arevalo, special envoy who was with Diego in the hotel, he realized the situation and undertook to end the conversation. To make matters worse, ESPN spoke with Boca idol in the evening of the party. Need I
players to pursue and / or technical, is it so important to insist again and again in previous statements to a meeting?, Is not more juicy words after 90 minutes?
But this is not to justify the Argentine team. Absolutely. Obviously there are errors (tactical issues and lack of a defined playing style) that should correct the players and coach. That's for sure. But I'm sure the team is not focused as it should, and just by walking from one channel to another. Both Maradona as its target not minding correctly to a challenge of the height of Brazil. Perhaps this point can be a factor influencing (or not, some are professionals). The truth is that there was much talk outside, while inside (the pitch) showed very little.
Sometimes it is better to solve problems in private, without trading with the microphone, even when the order be unnatural for journalists. Indeed, who writes also a journalist.

However, there are still four games on Sunday and had a player who was eager to be the owner of the more beautiful and eye-catching day. That player was Jonathan Cristaldo figure Velez, who in the hours before the game against Hurricane promised to keep the prize. "Everyone says the best goal he did Bordagaray, but ... If I come to put a bicycle kick, what happens?" Thought inside the Churry. 
And that was just. As fate would have booked a moment of glory, to complement the 30 minutes, the attacker fortinero transformed his dream into reality and materialize a Chilean spectacular long shot to leave goalkeeper Gaston Monzon, and halfway resigned. Consequently scored his first double in the top flight of Argentine football (Had opened the scoring in the 8 'PT) and put the final 2-0 in the Estadio Jose Amalfitani. 
In life there are people who leave indelible marks and there are moments that are kept forever in the heart. On several occasions a tingling feeling nice, while other times the anxiety pervades the soul. In this case, football fans, fans of Velez and Jonathan Cristaldo Chilean remember that with great joy. For them, no doubt, that goal will be unforgettable.
