Como nos enseño Zubeldía... (un artículo sobre economía y producción)

Este artículo trata sobre economía e ingeniería, no sobre fútbol. Claro, y como sucede que soy todo pincha, algunos ejemplos me vienen desde ese lado. Permítame, estimado lector, hablar en términos de Zubeldía para describir algo que podría aprovechar, en términos productivos, nuestra bendita Argentina.

Very short Add-On to the last post, that I wasn't sure to add in as a reblog or as "Under Cut" content.

Originally the post wasn't only focused on Juan, but also in Federico. In my earlier Red Matador setting I had the idea that Fede was the one who spent his childhood overseas, but in Argentina instead. Then after returning to Spain he'd befriend Juan, who would be on his same school/community.

However with time I changed things up; I made Federico stay in Spain (Asturias, a reference to the potential cyclist he's based off) and send Juan to Mexico instead (Specially after learning about the country's tie to bullfighting), though at the cost of separating them until RM :(

But, is there somebody in Red Matador still with ties to Argentina?

Well...

Match Review: Manchester United 4-1 Real Sociedad

United are STILL the only undefeated side in Europe. And in our shittest season ever hahahaha.

Apologies for being late on the reviews - the photography side of things, coupled with work and having a personal life - means I'm struggling to find the time to chill and to sleep and so the blogging falls to the wayside...

United actually fell behind to a 9th minute penalty after Matthijs De Ligt was adjudged (correctly) to have fouled Oyazarbal in the penalty area. Said player then scored a tidy penalty and it's 1-0 Real.

Fortunately, United have BRUNOOOO. Four minutes later and Rasmus Hojlund was fouled by the Sociedad no5 Zubeldia and United had a penalty of their own, which Bruno Fernandes coolly dispatched into the bottom left corner. Game on.

It's impressive how much better United looked than in... frankly any other game this season. This was the performance we should have had away in Spain, based on the quality of Sociedad, and this time they had missing players back too.

Dorgu's width and intent on the left gave United so much more to their systemic play, but it was the choreography and experience of Casemiro in the central pivot that had United firing on all cylinders.

United nearly took the lead in the 30th minute thanks to Dorgu and Casemiro's inter-play, which then led to some magic footwork from Joshua Zirkzee and a clever almost-finish from Hojlund - himself desperate for a goal to break his drought.

Dorgu almost scored on the volley in the 40th minute from an outswinging corner, but the backspin, looping effort just nicked over the bar and no wondergoal for the Dane.

Fortunately, Second Half FC rose to the occasion. Give-and-go between Zirkzee and Bruno tried to find Hojlund, but a bounce pass back allowed Joshua Z to fizz one at the Sociedad keeper, only for Dorgu to be fouled chasing the rebound. ANOTHER PENALTY.

Bruno skipped his stutter run-up and also swapped corners, bosh, 2-1 United. 3-2 on aggregate. Back in control.

An incredible through ball from Zirkzee for Dorgu saw substitute Aramburu given a straight red for a last-man foul, and from there onwards it was United, United, United.

United had another penalty shout late on that VAR waved off, but that didn't slow down the action. A late counter from the forwards saw Bruno Fernandes burst through with mad pace for so late in the game and Garnacho perfectly tee'd his captain up for the hat-trick, which was an impeccable finish on the stride and busting a lung. Honestly, what a guy. He has his critics but he's a bloody talented player.

To add insult to injury, Dorgu tried to tee up Hojlund who then had too many touches trying to get a good shot off, but the Danish forward had the good sense to become assist-maker and played in a perfect ball for Diogo Dalot of all people to smash into the roof of the net, side footed. 4-1, 5-2 on aggregate, goodnight Old Trafford.

In an exhilarating clash at Old Trafford, Manchester United put on a masterclass show, dominating Real Sociedad and reviving their silverware bid. The team's incessant work rate and flair appeared to accurately mirror Ruben Amorim's tactical ingenuity. Bruno Fernandes was the undisputed hero of the evening, scoring a breathtaking hat-trick. His third strike, after a pinpoint pass from Alejandro Garnacho, flew into the left corner, leaving the crowd in delirium and ensuring a quarter-final tie with Lyon. Looking back at the victory, Fernandes said, "This club is about winning. We have a lot to do, but we are sure that if we concentrate and have the right mindset we can win matches." With games against Lyon scheduled for April 10 and 17, United's journey to the semi-finals seems bright. The game was inaugurated with pomp, including United's red devil banner and fireworks. Real Sociedad got their noses in front when Mikel Oyarzabal scored a penalty after Matthijs de Ligt botched his challenge. A VAR check ratified the call, and Oyarzabal calmly scored past André Onana. Ardfern, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0, via Wikimedia Commons United's reaction came quickly and was authoritative. Fernandes directed the equalizer to Rasmus Højlund, who was blocked by Igor Zubeldia. The penalty was given, and Fernandes placed the ball calmly to the right of Alex Remiro, who dived in the opposite direction. United's rhythm was built up as Fernandes orchestrated a series of silky passing moves. One of the highlights involved Joshua Zirkzee combining with Patrick Dorgu, whose neat cross found Garnacho, whose shot was blocked. Zirkzee's graceful footwork also created Højlund, whose flick sailed just wide of the goal. In spite of owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe's criticism that described Onana, Casemiro, and Højlund as "overpaid and not good enough," the trio did not let down. Onana's sturdy saves, Casemiro's piercing positioning, and Højlund's constant runs maintained pressure on Sociedad. Dorgu's volley from a corner sent the roof of the net rippling, showing the ingenuity that has been missing in the team for so long. With the total score 2-2, the second half turned out to be crucial. United took charge when Remiro parried Zirkzee's shot and Dorgu capitalized on the chance. Elustondo's offside block on Dorgu resulted in another penalty that Fernandes sealed with ease, passing the ball to Remiro's left. The crowd went wild as United produced their most cohesive display under Amorim. Dorgu's energetic play saw him produce a scorching run and cross that almost teed up Højlund, but Remiro came to the rescue. Garnacho's work rate in cutting out a stray pass almost brought about another goal, and Zirkzee and Højlund's interplay had Sociedad nervous. A turning point was reached when Zirkzee's curling pass left Dorgu racing down the pitch. Jon Aramburu's reckless foul earned him a red card, leaving Sociedad aghast. Fernandes completed his hat-trick with an exquisite finish, and Diogo Dalot threw in a late goal for good measure. Dorgu showed sportsmanship by refusing a penalty after a minor collision with Hamari Traoré. United's dominant display not only guaranteed their advancement but also highlighted the ability of Amorim's style of play. Read the full article

RedoMata HCs: Juan's life (in detail)

In a whiteboard doodle long ago, I remember saying that in my setting Juan would mix up Spain's spanish and latinamerican spanish quite a lot. I'd like to develop on that better.

----

But while he was born at Spain, Juan spent a huge chunk of elementary school living back at Mexico due to parents' work. For now, I picture him living in Morelia, one of the many mexican cities to host a bullring.

As means to keep a piece of Spain around, Juan developed a liking to playing the flamenco guitar. Having already at hand many Flamenco CDs passed on from grandparents, he'd put them on the radio and try to imitate them by hand. But eventually he'd develop his own style, with a frenetic yet moving melody inspired by the movement of horses. His own family fell in love with his music, playing it at reunions and such. But for the most part, such music remained hidden on the Zubeldia household.

Be it by the new scenario or by the culture clash, Juan had always struggled to make friends; having difficulty to reach out to others or maintain a conversation. His classmates didn't like him much either, often mocking his different accent and vocabulary. With time he got used to loneliness, avoiding most social situations as possible. Not even his family seemed to change his mind, until... When it was time to leave Mexico and go back to Spain, Juan was surprised by his grandma deciding to stay in the american continent instead. Her choice was set, but before parting she gave her grandson one final request: For him to keep sharing those beautiful melodies of his.

---

When he came back home, things got a bit complicated at first. He had been so used to the different timezones and regional vocabulary, that re-encountering the original spanish language gave him some whiplash. Pronunciating became tricky for him yet again, and so mixing up words with different meaning. Trust me, sometimes it gets that bad. Specially with the dreaded word coger.

???: Oye Juan, ¿Podrias por favor coger el balón- ("Juan, could you please grab the ball-") Juan: ¿¡COOOOOMO!? ("WHAAAAAAT!?") ???: ...Eh? Juan: ... Juan: ...Nada. Continue por favor. ("Nothing. Go on, please.")

But fortunately, and inspired by his grandma's words, sharing his flamenco skills managed to give him a place; so much so that he soon started to develop some fame. Determined, Juan later on entered the annual May Flamenco contest of Cordoba, and ended up sweeping all the other contestants despite his young age. With this, it was definitive: His community had fallen in love with his guitar skills, nowadays inviting him to local events or parties. Juan didn't mind, he was happy to finally be out of the shadows for once. But he still fell under the effects of social anxiety outside of his hobby.

As another method to fight it, Juan would start joining groups of his interests; soccer being one of them. To his surprise it was a sport he warmed up easily to, being able to be a fairly good keeper on the yearly Spanish Youth League (But not winning it nonetheless). It was on the Community Cup where his true potential finally shone, thanks to the perfect goalkeeper-defender synergy he developed alongside Rafael and Antonio (Also of Andalusia but of other provinces).

Although they ended up on the third place, the potential Juan and his new friends had was enough for him to be choosen over the actual 1st and 2nd place keepers of the cup. Aganist all odds and controversies, he fought very hard to keep his place in, though out of nowhere a sudden riojan pretty much overshadowed him.

----

(The post ends here, but under the cut there are some misc rambles regarding his setting)

Let me say one thing. In previous headcanons I've posted, Juan was established to be from Cordoba, Andalusia. However lately (and due to me overthinking things) I thought that alternatively, he could have been born in Madrid instead. And after returning Mexico he moved to live in Cordoba instead. Unfortuantely due to the Spanish Community Cup being very strict with its origin rules, Juan was called to play for the capital, alongside players like Davi Peroqui. (Worry not for the andalusian team, they'll get another keeper otherwise. And the dynamic with Rafael and Antonio will stay! Just that it will be developed after Red Matador is formed.)

This scenario is also based on the famous flamenco guitar player Paco de Lucía (Which I've seen Juan be compared to), who was born on Andalusia but later moved to Madrid afaik. Juan's arc could be a parallel version of that.

But like I said, this is just an alternate take. Plus it'd mean me having to work again on an entirely new character dynamic (Davi + Juan) all over again �� So for now Andalusia it is.
