also what is up with every video on youtube involving xavi being titled 'maestro'? hes like walking around or sitting and the title is all 'master class by conductor xavi' or 'maestro sublime' isnt it all a bit exaggerated?
The eternal need of every tribe or any social circle to feel special and better than others.
If you are currently better than others in results, then you boast with your results.
If there are no real achievements currently (like with Barca), then you cling on to the past and overrate every single thing from it, or you cling onto any youth/new coach/new president with semi decent skills and put unreal savior expectations on them.
Basically:
1. people/circles always want to feel special, it gives a meaning to their life/goals. Nobody wants to feel useless/average/irrelevant/a part of a looser's circle
2. the eternal need for HOPE and for the better future
3. the weaker your current achievements are, the more you will have crazy fixations and overrate either the past or the future (desperation)
And voila, now apply this to every football forum, political party, countries, subcultures etc.
Every social circle think that their circle is better/unique/more special than the rest.
(hint: clinging on to a mighty Barca DNA, principles and a need for a beautiful play in Barcaworld).
It will be interesting to see the mental gymnastic from both our forum and social media if Xavi fails.
Let's see who will be the next hero (some player or a coach), who will be a quick fix (a scapegoat for all problems like Raki, Ev, Barto, Koeman, Busi, bad physical preparations, medical stuff currently).
People are quite predictable and fun to watch once when you dig deeper.
