It seems that in this country the only way to get things forward is when we feel victims. To assume the role of the favorite, of the good, is almost impossible, and when there is no hatred against us we invented to feel challenged and that is when we work best. Soccer is no exception.
Already last year the coach of Atlético Nacional, the Mexican Efraín Juárez, had built a narrative about an alleged plot to get his team out of the road. He said that the establishment had been conspired for Millionaires to be the champion and Falcao raised a title in Colombia. As the speech was powerful, his warriors convinced themselves and with a lot of anger against their alleged executioners they brought the best to be crowned league and cup champions in a week.
For this semester that seized that speech was the Santa Fe squad. They convinced themselves of alleged hatred and minimization of their capabilities of a press sector and the environment, and from there they built the mystique that led them to eliminate Millionaires last Thursday. This was recognized by stellar players of their workforce, such as Hugo Rodallega and Elvis Perlaza.
Santa Fe won without mitigating, was more on the court, took advantage of the mistakes and administered the advantage. There are no doubt, it is a fair finalist. But that does not mean that what happened in the semester did not give for an analysis in which they were not the favorites. His unusual elimination of Copa Libertadores at the hands of Chile's worst team, preceded by a home run in December to oblivion, in which they were thrashed twice by national Complemented with their very poor performance as a local, they did not give so that from the rational any analysis, even shallow, would give them favorites. It was not about distilling poison as Rodallega said after victory against Millionaires. The events spoke in a way as clear as the victory they obtained on Thursday.
On the other side Millionaires, broad favorite both last and this semester, with the final classification in his hands on both occasions and with the leadership on the last date he did not have who hate, there was no one against whom to get caught and did not know how to assume his favorite role. It happened this time (already many times) to the Blues, as well as the Greens of Medellín, who with the best payroll in the country also did not have the narrative of the victimization. It has also passed many times to the selection, people in the office and in the streets, it is our way of living. It is as if being well to do things better will bother us, it would be ashamed, it made us be in a comfort zone that is at the same time uncomfortable. It is unusual.
