  • What I do when speaking in public is trying to do it as best as possible and trying to make everybody comfortable with my words. Sometimes getting this is very difficult, but I try my best.
  • Small players learn to be intuitive, to anticipate, to protect the ball. A guy who weighs 90 kilos doesn't move like one who weighs 60. In the playground I always played against much bigger kids and I always wanted the ball. Without it, I feel lost.
  • You have different sorts of people in life, so why should it be any different in football?
  • There is no rule that says a footballer needs to be 'this high' and 'this wide.'
  • There are moments when the human body can overcome things you would never expect.
  • In the past, I had my idols but today I enjoy learning from all the soccer I watch.
  • I like to watch soccer, no matter what teams or players are in the field.

El Clásico

In a national league in the country, there is often a fierce rivalry between the two strongest teams, and this is particularly the case in La Liga, where the game between Real Madrid and Barcelona is known as "Meeting Classic '(El Clásico). Since the beginning of the national competition began, the two clubs are often seen as a reflection / representatives of two different regions in Spain: Catalonia and Castilla, as well as of the two cities. This competition reflects a variety of things, including the political and cultural tensions between Catalunya and Castilla which is a general overview of the Spanish Civil War.

During the era of the dictatorship of Miguel Primo de Rivera and Francisco Franco, especially (1939-1975), all regional cultures suppressed. All regional languages ​​spoken in Spanish territory, except Spanish (Castilla), is officially banned. A symbol of the people's desire for freedom Catalunya makes Barcelona a "more than just a football club" (mes que un club) for Catalan society. According to Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, the best way for the Catalans to demonstrate their identity was by joining Barcelona. It is less risky than joining the anti-Franco movement, and allowed them to express their discontent.

On the other hand, Real Madrid was widely seen as the embodiment of the sovereign centralism and the fascist regime at management level and below. Santiago Bernabeu who became president of the club is a fighter for los nacionales. However, during the Spanish Civil War, members of both clubs such as Josep Sunyol (Barcelona) and Rafael Sánchez Guerra (Real Madrid) surrendered at the hands of Franco supporters.

During 1950, the competition is worse when there is a controversy surrounding the transfer of Alfredo di Stéfano, who finally played for Real Madrid and was key to their subsequent success. In the 1960's, the two clubs met in the Champions League and then more than doubled, and in 2002, the European encounter between the clubs was dubbed the "Match of the Century" by Spanish media, and was watched by over 500 million people worldwide.

El Derbi madrileño

Nearest neighbor club of Real Madrid is Atletico Madrid who also made the tough competition between fans of both football teams from the capital city of Madrid. Although Atlético was originally founded by three Basque students in 1903, they then managed to get a new power in 1904, as the merger of the former Real Madrid. Further tensions came because Real Madrid supporters more than the middle class while the Atlético supporters more than the working class and workers. Both of these clubs then met for the first time on February 21, 1929 in the third match of La Liga in the season. This match also marked the same time the first derby match between the two teams. In the match Real Madrid won 2-1. On several occasions later, they met again in another arena, one in the Champions Cup semifinals in 1959, in which Real won the first game by a score of 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu and Atlético in a 1-0 victory reply Metropolitano which makes the game must be repeated . In a rematch of that, Real Madrid managed to win with a score of 2-1. Atletico then managed to take revenge by twice beating Real Madrid in the Copa del Generalísimo in 1960 and 1961 when coached by former Real coach José Villalonga Llorente. Real Madrid has won El Derbi madrileño much as 75 times.

Between 1961 and 1989, when Real Madrid dominated La Liga, only Atlético were able to steal the championship opportunity at Real off guard. They managed to win the La Liga title in 1966, 1970, 1973, and 1977. In 1965, Atlético became the first team to beat Real at the Bernabéu in eight years.
