“My epoch in football finished with Zidane, Ronaldo, Raul and when Henry betrayed Arsenal” – says my closest friend, who was the greatest fan of Real Madrid and Arsenal ever. Today I replaced her on this uneasy business to be football fan, though I support different teams, except Arsenal, I am the only link between her and this beautiful world of European football. However this is not the main idea of this entry. Despite the fact that such SUPERSTARS as Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, Maldini, Figo, Julio Baptista, already quit playing or on their way to do so, contemporary soccer lost a lot, but at the same time it gets much more! As it is said, new generation always surpass previous. About this New Generation of young great and talented players I’d love to write today.

Last year winner of Golden Ball, Best Halfback of Champions League, Best Football player FIFA, Best Player in Italia and lots of other awards, 26 year old Brazilian Rickardo Izecson Dos Santos Leite or simply KAKA – number 22 halfback of AC Milan (and by the way, my favorite player, after Zidane!) starts this list of young and talented.

Last year Silver Ball and Bronze Ball winners 23 year old Argentinean Lionel Messi (FC Barselona) and 22 year old Portugal Christiano Ronaldo (Manchester United). These guys aren’t even 25, but already receive such significant awards! By the way, Last year winners are the youngest winners in the history ever! This year C. Ronaldo has won English Premier League and Champions League – European most prestigious competitions and I believe that he will win Golden Ball 2008 in December.

Cesc Fabregas – 21 year old Spanish halfback of FC Arsenal. Cesc was the 8 in the list of pretendents on Golden Ball 2007 when he was only 20. This year he won EURO 2008 with Spain, and just recently is claimed as Capitan of FC Arsenal!

There are lots of young players, today they are only 17-19 year teenagers, who’s gonna be the world’s greatest in two-three years. These are my own top 5: Theo Walcott (England; FC Arsenal), Alexandre Pato(Brazil; AC Milan), Eduardo da Silva (Croatia; FС Arsenal), Nani (Portugal; Manchester United), Rafael da Silva (Brazil; Manchester United).

Here is the list provided by World Soccer: Sadick Adams (Atletico Madrid) Ismail Aissati (PSV Eindhoven) Alexandre Pato (Milan) Anderson (Manchester United) Sergio Aguero (Atletico Madrid) Gareth Bale (Tottenham) Ever Banega (Boca Juniors) Karim Benzema (Lione) Bojan Krkic (Barcellona) Breno (San Paolo) Gerardo Bruna (Liverpool) Diego Bounanotte (River Plate) Macauley Chrisantus (Amburgo) Dumitru Copil (Hearts) Lorenzo De Silvestri (Lazio) Angel Di Maria (Benfica) Franco Di Santo (Audax) Kermit Erasmus (Sundown) Fabio (Fluminense) Fabio Coentrao (Benfica) Maquane Fellaini (Standard Liegi) Guilherme (Cruzeiro) Nour Hadhria (Club African) Rabul Ibrahim (Sporting Lisbona) Damian Ismodes (S. Cristal) Kerlon (Cruzeiro) Toni Kroos (Bayern Monaco) Lulinha (Corinthians) Sapol Mani (Maranatha) Juan Manuel Mata (Valencia) Cristian Nazarith (Cali) Aaron Niguez (Valencia) Daniel Opare (Ashanti) Ransford Osei (Kesseben) Fran Merida (Arsenal) Nikolay Mihailov (Liverpool) Mesut Ozil (Schalke) Renato Augusto (Flamengo) Micah Richards (Manchester City) Andrea Russotto (Treviso) Henri Saivet (Bordeaux) Alexis Sanchez (River Plate) Giovani Dos Santos (Barcellona) Marek Suchy (Slavia Praga) Sergio Tejera (Chelsea) Ivan Rakitic (Schalke) Abdou Traore (Rosenborg) Gregory Van der Wiel (Ajax) Carlos Vela (Osasuna) Theo Walcott (Arsenal).

Well, list is huge!!! I know that we will never see the football player like ZINEDINE ZIDANE, but I believe that we will see the Better One!

The film “A Beautiful Mind” depicts John Nash’s experience with schizophrenia and the consequences of these mental problems on his family life, his productivity as a university professor, and his relationships with his friends. The film also presents information that enables an examination of Mr. Nash’s symptoms and behavior using the biopsychosocial model of disease. We can look at the causes of his condition from a biological, psychological and social perspective.
First, let us focus on biology. Here we can notice brain disorder, some difficulties with neural activity in frontal lobes. We can concentrate on what effect medical treatment causes. Insulin shock which was applied to John Nash for every 5 days for 10 weeks was to reduce his hallucinations and brain activity, and later, pills were to hold this effect. But side-effects were that he started to lost his math talent and concentrate on math, moreover he could not have sex, which badly influenced his relationships with wife and made more stress on her.
Second is psychological approach. Here we can distinguish following symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia: hallucinations – Charles, Marcie and Parcher; delusion of grandeur – Nash’s thinking that he works on government on special secret assignment, his self-esteem is high, he thinks he is a genius, he is somehow supercilious, he beliefs in his big mission; and delusion of persecution – thinking that Russians trying to kill him and his family. The negative symptoms: social withdrawal, difficult communicating to people, strange behavior-talking to imaginations.

Third is social view. Here we can determine US cold war with USSR, whole population’s fear of Russians and their expectation of new hero –new Einstein, to protect them from soviets as causes of sickness. John Nash thought he is this “Einstein”. He was socially isolated by himself, he did not like people, he had few friends, but his best was imaginary Charles, he did not know how to treat woman. Moreover, here we must pay attention on Nash’s relationships within family, with friends, his work and carrier. As we saw in the movie, his decease badly effected all the three, but all these three later helped him to “recover”, despite not completely, but still. His hallucinations might cause his child’s death (while washing the baby, John thought that Charles was looking after him, so he could be drowned); almost split-up with his wife, distrust from her side, her despair and psychological stress(remember when she was screaming and breaking a mirror in the bath, and her sexual dissatisfaction; no social activity (unless throw out the garbage and later – work) and no work and carrier (at the moment of illness progression)
To sum up, we can trace all three prospective in this particular case of John Nash, but only social care, i.e. his Wife’s love and trust, his friend’s trust and kindness(when he accepted Nash to work in Princeton). And his main patience – math, brought him to social “recovery”.
