Unique criterion…

With last month's appearances of the two-legged ball gods moderate, the age of footballers is playing hard again, always against the backdrop of a time when Messi, Ronaldo, both contemporary and not only benchmarks, decide to step out of action. well, football!

There are quite a few "experts" and experts on this issue, essentially believing that older footballers cannot get a championship, believing they will "pop up".

And to discuss it well in the advanced countries, especially in Greece, we should not measure this factor as a deterrent since we have tangible examples, quite a few, with soccer players many of whom have been scorned and disbelieved.

Perhaps the top ones were Gogic and Ketspaya, Vazquez and not only, who played, or rather grew up, almost to their forties. Thousands of times I beat Vazekha, 38, and 25-year-old Fornaroli. No; So to know what we are saying and how much this kind of quasi-graphic views of age and endurance can apply.

After all, we should not forget that AEK did its best in the Champions League once ... on the backs of footballers who had the longest average age in history. So what does age have to do with football?

The only criterion is the presence of each on the court. The persistence to lower the average age so that the team can improve cannot be valid. The argument of speed also cannot play such a big role because it is not a track race but a football whose skills count far more. So successful teams can be those with the talent in the grass and not necessarily the ones with the low middle age.

Because it is equally important, as much as a footballer has value, to be available and not permanently out of the plans for various reasons, injuries or behavior. So whether a team will withstand the time and pressure of achieving its goals, does not depend on the age of the players, but on their quality and the happiness of the coaches to keep them healthy.
