We play 4-2-4

so, i have resurrected my blog. in line with tradition, i have chosen a new name.

We play 4-2-4.

why these words? why 4-2-4? somehow, i always can picture a manager at the sideline, when his team is 1-0 down with 10 minutes to go, and they are chasing the win, he would be making changes and telling his players, both those on the pitch and the ones he's bringing on:

We play 4-2-4.

In these 3 words, you could feel at once, the desperation, the guts, the gamble.

that last throw of the dice.
