Chelsea would do the same thing (as much as i hate Mourinho) he would not allow his team to become a
circus just providing eye catching entertainment and made sure he would always sure up his midfield with players that would have just enough
skill to get them out of trouble as quick as they got into it but whose game was more about physical endeavour and forward momentum and used the
likes of Ramirez and Willian to great effect whilst allowing only one player, Hazard to have creative freedom and even then he warned him of just how much he should do and when he should do it... keeping him in check.
It is a neat trick and it is performed with great
skill in our own time but in this future world, we are back to a politics that Nero and Caligula relied on: brutal suppression and bread and
circuses, something
like a crude and primitive form of seduction.
