César Luis Menotti: el tigre herido

César Luis Menotti: el tigre herido

Article describes Menotti's struggles at Racing

Menotti, whose philosophy about playing is elegance and simply being better than your rival, is increasingly becoming a fish out of water at Racing. After a brief spell of success at Rosario Central, Menotti is seeing the game drift away from his criollo style and to the more physical one that punishes playmakers like himself. This is useful because the narrative is that fútbol criollo died either because the country failed to produce "cracks" or the tactical approaches emphasize foreign attributes. This article shows that "cracks" existed, but were punished for playing in an elegant way.
