Over time, football underwent a drastic change, in the following interesting series of illustrations.

Time goes so fast.

It didn't seem too long ago that football was still decorated with faces like Diego Maradona, Pele and Carlos Valderrama. Michel Platini has also been king on the green field, while beer and flares are allowed in the stands and, in particular, money and sponsors have not held a central role in all transactions.

Being better or worse, one thing is certain: football has changed. Today, The Beautiful Game has a new financial and social dimension, and changes also occur in the field, with the emergence of players who have never imagined their awesomeness before: Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

So, is football better now? Check out the series of interesting illustrations below for comparison.

COACH

In the past, training pants, stopwatches, plus notebooks were essential equipment for trainers in their work. Today, the best managers are armed with tablets and other technologies to carry out analysis, and they don't hesitate to wear formal, neat suits on the edge of the field.

FANS

There are times when fans can do everything in the stands and routinely show political banners and impressive choreography, and use smoke bosses and flares. Far from being orderly. Now the stadiums are more organized with the club blocking the passion of fans. Every audience has their seats, small flags, and everyone is happy. Or at least that is what is expected.

PLAYER FANS

Previously almost all players had similar haircuts: long hair, stranded backwards. Now all kinds of eccentric styles can be seen. Patterned hair becomes a plural sight on a green field, which now also functions as a "laboratory" for hairdressers.

ADVERTISEMENT

The footballer used to just advertise a car or fuel. Now they are not awkward posing to show off their stocky body to sell underwear.

SPONSORS

Previously the sponsors helped develop the club and were considered a bonus in the overall budget. Now they are actually the main source of money and there is no missing item from the sponsor logo. Training clothes, matchday uniforms, to stadium names - all can be sold for advertising. Even the water bottles in the press conference are now positioned in such a way that the brand can be highlighted by the camera.

RELATIONSHIP WITH FANS

It used to be common for footballers to spend long time with fans, signing posters or forums. Now, even though there are a few exceptions, players interact more with fans through social media and show off selfies every week.

BODIES AND UNIFORMS

The days of the duel between fat players and athletic opponents are over. Now, fat is barely visible, with all players getting a portion of weight and cardiovascular training to get rid of excess weight. While about the jersey, traditional colors begin to fade, and various eccentric patterns appear.

EFFECT OF SOCIAL MEDIA

In the past, strict sanctions immediately took effect once the red card was issued. Now, the club and its top brass are trying to influence the disciplinary commission with aggressive tweets, video and photo recordings, and sometimes repeated appeals.

BAN

Players are no longer allowed to celebrate victory with beer in the locker room. Now the moment of pleasure is replaced by 'invisible work': players recover faster in cryogenic chambers, where the temperature can touch -80 degrees Celsius.

BACK NUMBER

Remember when everything is simpler? Eleven players wear number 1-11. 1 for the goalkeeper, 6 for the defensive midfielder, 11 for the left wing, and so on. Now anything is possible.

CELEBRATION

Goals are usually followed by the classic celebrations of players who ran while lifting their hands into the air. Now there is high creativity in every celebration, including salto celebrations and even selfies!

LOTRE

Before the penalty shootout, matches that ended in a draw were usually determined by throwing a coin. Now ... well, apparently this is still happening! As seen in the 2015 African Cup, Guinea escaped to surpass Mali through this ancient system.

RELATIONSHIP WITH PRESS

In the past journalists usually had access to the dressing room after the match to conduct interviews with players. Now the press crew gathered in the mixed zones behind the barrier, where there was never enough space if the players stopped to deliver their comments. And after the defeat, players often pass without talking.

REPRESENTATION

Photos of players are limited to posters in Panini magazines or stickers. Now, just using Instagram or Snapchat we can see the players every day, alone or with their friends, just getting up or going to bed. Countless selfies.

What do you think, is football better in the past? or the present.
