We are used to the headlines of Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi, but we often forget that one of the best strikers of recent years and Golden Shoe in 2020, Ciro Immobile, plays in Italy. We are talking about a late-blooming player and, although nobody doubts his quality now, it wasn’t always like that. Despite making […]
Among the stars of the European champions Chelsea, it is worth mentioning one of the products of their youth academy. He is just 22 years old, but he is already a leader at club level and now also in the national team. We are talking about Mason Mount. The Chelsea youth player joined Cobham at […]
When we start a new year we always tend to take balance of the year we have finished and 2021 will be remembered for being also complicated by the pandemic, but from this place I wanted to share with you in this first post of 2022 a lovely experience as it was the return to […]
In this past transfer market plagued by the drop in revenue due to the COVID 19 pandemic, we came across one of the signings of the year… at zero cost. We are talking about the Austrian David Alaba. The new signing for Real Madrid is an all-rounder who can adapt to many positions, as well […]
In the heart of Marseille, the gateway to the luxurious French Côte d’Azur or also called the port of North Africa, we find the Stade Vélodrome, home of a European champion, Olympique de Marseille. Perhaps because I also belong to a neighbourhood with a well-defined idiosyncrasy, I always felt sympathy for OM and I always […]
The prodigal son returns home. Reigning European champions Chelsea and Romelu Lukaku are joining forces again seven years later. The player, of Congolese origin, began his career at Anderlecht, where he became top scorer in the Belgian championship at just 16 years of age. Such was his precociousness that the big teams quickly turned their […]
Located in the southeast of the city, away from the glamour and attention of the big teams of the capital, we find one of the most peculiar clubs not only in Madrid, but in the whole of Spain, Rayo Vallecano. The Vallecas stadium (previously known as the Teresa Rivero stadium, in honour of the former […]
“When Ronaldo attacks, I have the feeling that a pack is attacking. It feels like there are many of them, not just one”. These words pronounced by Jorge Valdano define to perfection the sensation of insecurity in rival defences when Ronaldo faced up to the ball, a wonder of nature that left behind as many […]
In the section on players, I don’t want to miss the opportunity to talk about another of the best strikers I saw in the 2000s, the Ukrainian Andriy Shevchenko. Shevchenko’s story is linked to the terrible event of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. His town was only 50 km away from the area exposed to […]
Guti alé!… Guti alé!… Forza Guti, Guti alé!!! Even today, almost 9 years after his retirement, I can still clearly hear the song that spread through the Santiago Bernabéu every time Guti made a deep pass that no one else had seen, a stadium surrendered at his feet… although it wasn’t always like that. He […]
