The trequartista orchestrates. He pulls the strings. He sees the moves others don’t, makes the plays others can’t. He has creative license, he roams, he has no responsibility beyond bringing his occasional magic to bear. He is mercurial, he goes missing, he takes the blame. But he also brings romance to football, shining a light on what makes our game the beautiful one. It is these qualities we hope to bring to this blog; a sideways glance at the players, teams and stories that make football great. Like the trequartista, we may not deliver every time, but if we can be Roberto Baggio on some days, we hope you can forgive us being just Kevin Nolan on others.
