How capricious football is sometimes! And how wonderful are certain parallels that occur without possible rational explanation! A good example of this is how last night Javi martinez became the Pedro Rodriguez of the Bayern Munich, not only for achieving the decisive goal that gave the Bavarian team the title in a European Super Cup but also for the circumstances in which it occurred and the background in being the protagonist of this type of goal.
‘Pedrito’, who earned himself to be remembered as Don Pedro, left in the Barça goals for history. On two occasions with the European Super Cup in Game. The first time was in 2009. Do you remember? Stadium Louis II, and the Shakhtar Donetsk holding the guy and the 0-0 against him Barça of Guardiola to get to the extension. What happened then? What Pedro, who had entered from the bench, appeared at 115 'to sign the goal with which the Culé team won the title. Much like what happened yesterday when Javi martinez He also came in for refreshment.
But the parallelism between Pedro and Javi, who shared a dressing room in the world champion Spain in 2010, does not end here. August 2015. Again Pedro score the goal, 5-4 this time, to give him a European Super Cup to the Barça. Who did he surpass? To Seville. As the Bayern Yesterday. But in case the parallelism was not enough, it should be remembered that he did so with his march to the Chelsea. As it happens to Javi martinez currently regarding an imminent return to the Athletic. What things you have, Mr. Soccer!
Focusing exclusively on Javi martinez and the European Super Cup, there is also a precedent similar to last night. In 2013, when the Bayern was imposed on Chelsea. It was on penalties, but after Javi martinez, in the added time of the extension, he achieved the 2-2 that sent the thing to the incorrectly called lottery of penalties. In football, luck must be sought. And get it right, like Pedro and Javi.
