English - The day after Christmas, the party moved from homes heated to fields in the middle of the air that was almost frozen. Merry spirit to move from dining tables to stand-tribune.
There are meanings and interpretations hidden behind the games held on Boxing Day. For the people of England, Boxing Day echoed the spirit of Christmas and the celebration of communal spirit and togetherness are commonly divided among supporters of football teams.
On the other hand, Boxing Day seemed to be an affirmation of football as an allegory of two things:
Football has long been identified with the party anyway. Uniquely, Boxing Day is held the day after the religious holiday that is celebrated with great fanfare.
In the UK, is a common sight the fans bring along family or children to the stands to watch the game.
Therefore, do not be surprised if Boxing Day is a day that is not the same as the other match days for the indigenous people there.
Excitement on Boxing Day it then spread to those unfamiliar with the customs. For the players and foreign managers, for example.
Habits vacation at Christmas period until the year and gather with family is no longer there.
They just have to work hard because within three days, they have to play twice.
Although it felt strange, in the end the players and the manager was finally joined moved after one feel the atmosphere on Boxing Day.
Take the example of Mauricio Pochettino. Boxing Day tradition does not exist in Argentina or in another country where he made a living from football either Spanish or French.
But, really feel it, he said he was surprised at once amazed.
Pochettino call busy period after Christmas until the new year as something crazy. However, he was pleased to see many people come in droves to support his favorite team.
"It's going to be something crazy, considering the number of games in a short period. But, I think this would be the right time for people to gather, to come to the stadium as a family," he said.
Jose Mourinho another. With a style that is "as usual", he called the game on Boxing Day is a time for-for gifts for the supporters. Especially if the gift is not a victory. "I'm proud to be working on Boxing Day and could give them what they want," said Mourinho.
However, not all managers are also pleased with such a busy period. Sir Alex Ferguson, when was the manager of Manchester United, has long called for winter break on the grounds it is the right moment for the players to rest and gather with their families.
For any injured players, it calls the appropriate time to recuperate.
United's current coach, Louis van Gaal, as well as mystified by the match held on Christmas and New Year period.
Until surprisingly compete with tradition the day after Christmas, Van Gaal to break the tradition of the club itself. No light workout on Christmas day.
The players are given off to gather with family, wife, and children respectively.
Although not happy, of course, Ferguson and Van Gaal can not do anything. Both still have to sue the players appear spartan air amid the almost frozen and gain points.
In fact again, during the Premier League era that has been going on since 1992/1993, United were the majority were under the direction of Ferguson in that era, winning 17 times out of 20 times a game on 26 December.
The last time the lead United played on Boxing Day, Ferguson received a gift a 4-3 victory over Newcastle United. The match itself did not go easily for the 'Red Devils'. They should be left behind three times before finally gain full points.
That said, matches on Boxing Day is not easy because it does not merely rely on tactics and techniques alone. They are lazy against the cold will be crushed by the passions heat.
So, do not be surprised if the period of the Boxing Day until the new year as a difficult and crucial period, not only because of the amount of solid game, but also because of the weather.
Even though they played and watched in the air was almost frozen, still, football can bring the warmth of its own, especially for those who win.
Historically, a story about football and Christmas Day (and the day after) scattered everywhere. One who has spoken many a story about soldiers in World War I in 1914 until several years later that playing football on Christmas day.
In fact, they were in the middle of the battlefield.
Christmas Truce, so the stories are named, is the moment in which the British and German soldiers out of each trench, lay down their arms, and then shake hands and congratulate Christmas. In the sequel, the congratulations were followed by sharing cigarettes and playing ball.
One story call, play ball between the two camps of soldiers instead of 11 opponents 11, but 50 opponents 50, until then they were ordered to return to the trench supervisor each hold up arms and back.
The incident took place not only in one place. The story about the sudden hostile soldiers bergencatan weapons and play ball stretched from Ypres, near the border of Belgium and France, until Lavantie in France.
"I think I just saw the most amazing views of my life," writes AD Chater, one of the soldiers who witnessed the ceasefire and the impromptu soccer game, in a letter addressed to his mother.
More recently, the letter published by the Royal Mail and quoted by The Independent.
"Around 10 o'clock in the morning, I peeked berlindungku place and saw the Germans, waved his hand, and suddenly two of them out of the trenches and walked towards us. We were almost going to shoot them until then we realized that they do not carry guns , so one of us was running up to them. "
"Within two minutes, the field between the trench was filled with men and officers from both sides, shake hands and say Merry Christmas."
Whatever it is, Merry Christmas and happy to play (watch) ball.
