Champions League

Good morning, today we are going to explain the organization of one of the most important competition in the world, Champions League. This competition gathers the best teams of Europe. Next, you can watch a power point about this competition. I hope you like it.

Chico Flores (Doha)

José Manuel Flores Moreno (Chico Flores) is a Spanish footballer (Cádiz, March 6, 1987) playing central defense in the Lekhwiya SC of Qatar Football League.

He began his career in Cádiz CF. He would later be transferred to a subsidiary of FC Barcelona, ​​being instrumental in the promotion to Segunda B with Pep Guardiola and Tito Vilanova as coaches.

Chico Flores scoring goal against Liverpool in Anfiel Road (2012)

In 2008 he arrives to UD Almería, performing at the Camp Nou a marking, memorable in La Liga, to Xavi Hernández.

In the summer of 2010 arrives at Genoa and the following season he played on loan at RCD Mallorca.

It is in 2012 when he travels to England to play for Swansea City for two seasons. Since 2014 he signed for Qatari club to date remains one of the favorite player for Michael Laudrup, current coach of the Arab group, with whom he has four years working with him.

We emphasize that currently Chico Flores and some years is one of fixed and featured centrals defender in leagues that he has played (Serie A, Primier League, La Liga…), never becoming called by the Spanish national team despite his professional success.

Famous marking of Chico to Xavi Hernández in 2009

Currently it is talking about his possible inclusion in the selection of Qatar for the World there played in 2022. We recall that this country is betting on football and wants to surprise in his World Cup, as It did in handball this year, becoming runners in the world.

Chico Flores tells us that "I’am Spanish and greatest for me is wearing the shirt of my country, but since I'm in Qatar things are going well and I have already asked me about that possibility. I have explained the situation and wanted to know if he would play with the World 2022. I've seen with good eyes and not rule.” 

He talks about staying in Qatar on enjoying with his family. “Football it's different. Low enough in talent, but it is also true that the player gains in quality of life and economy. And for his return to La Liga he tells us that if an offer comes from a team that you like and not have to forgive a lot, he probably will accept.

We leave an interesant video, one day of the life of Chico Flores when he played in Swansea.

Rubén de la Cuesta (Sucre, Bolivia)

Now is the day when, as I said in the post about "Copa Libertadores" will reveal the name and history of the only Spanish footballer who currently plays in this year.

And he is ... Rubén Cuesta (1981 ) midfielder from Cordoba who emigrated two years ago to Bolivia in search of success that was denied in the fields of Second and Second B. After his experience in Cordoba, Ecija, Atletico Madrid B, Zamora, Guadalajara, Lucena and Linense, met new accents and dialects that led him to become champion of the Bolivian Clausura with Universitario de Sucre, and, of course, to fight against the big teams in Latin America in this edition of the Copa Libertadores.

Rubén that the Spanish footballer is very regarded in Bolivia and encourage anyone to try in this league. Although being respected and being a leader one would have to win being humble, hardworking, by example. His experience in Bolivia highlights being very rich, knowing another culture, different places, different people and the ability to play another championship that has nothing to do with the Spanish.

On the Bolivian league there are some delays in certain equipment as to collecting the bills, but it has nothing to do with what happens now in Spain. In his team, Universitario de Sucre, are serving very well and is grateful to be a serious club.

Match  in Bolivia

Currently , he does not think back to Spain and want to end up playing in Argentina or Brazilian league, but you never know. It is focused on making the best paper possible in the Copa Libertadores and time will decidemore.

And finally, we close with a phrase spoken by Ruben, and in which particular I can very agree "Those who say that football it is easy to know nothing of life. Football is a reflection of life ". 

And a video with some of his hightlights.

Belgium

Belgium is an extraordinary country, located in the center of the European continent. It is a member of the European Union with an important heritage, it is an excellent tourist destination which also has a delicious gastronomy. In the other hand, in the sports side and more specifically in football, it has one of the most important continental level as in the last years it has developed into a high quality team.

The Belgium Football Team has a long history with multiple sporting achievements, at Euro 1972 he achieved a third position, and in 1980 didn’t win the final against the Italian team so they had to accept their second place. Since 2004 it suffered a drawback in quality among the players and the technical’s level so it didn’t get selected for any European and World Championship except in the World Cup Brazil in 2014. In this championship they achieved a very good classification getting to the quarter finals.

At the personal level, the Belgian team has players that have become important. Some of them are Jan Ceulemans, Timmy Simons and Eric Greets, with more than 90 games each with the selection and Paul van Himst as top scorer with 81 goals.

Currently this selection is among the best in Europe with an excellent team . This can be seen in its latest call for a great competition, as it was the World Cup Brazil 2014. As a coach, Marc Wilmots. From 2009-2012 he was the technical assistant of the team but since 2012 he has been training the Belgian team combining it as the head coach. in goal highlights the presence of Thibaut Courtois, Chelsea goalkeeper CF, players like Thomas Vermaelen, Vincent Kompany and Daniel Van Buyten were in charge of defending the Belgian goal. In the midfield there are two players, Eden Hazard, excellent player of Chelsea FC and Adnan Januzaj, fast and agile player who plays for Manchester United. In front stands the young striker, 21, Romelu Lukaku.

This team has great potential and great young players struggling to achieve their dream of playing in the absolute selection, so that in the future they will fight to achieve great victories in bigger competitions.

Joaquín Sánchez (Florence)

We want to highlight a classic of Spanish football, Joaquín Sánchez ("el niño del Puerto", "el pisha", the feint and sprint).

Born in Puerto de Santa María (Cádiz) on July 21, 1981 and raised through the ranks at Real Betis where he is a legend in Seville club becoming desired for big clubs in Europe.

During his best moments in Sevilla (Real Betis-Cadiz, 2006)

Currently plays for Fiorentina club in Serie A since the summer of 2013 but dreams of the possibility of return to his beloved club, Real Betis. "Back to Betis is what I love most in the world."

Joaquín enjoy the Italian city every day where he is a player loved by the fans but somewhat irregular in the field, as in most of his career. 

From the Cadiz player we highlight disputing his 51 caps and two World Cups an one European Championship with the Spanish selection and conquered two Spanish Cups with Real Betis and Valencia CF, respectively.

Joaquín playing a match against Juventus in Serie A

He played his last international match on November 27, 2007, where his own words he did not return to “La Roja” anymore." At this time, the national team is a mess, chaos and Luis does not know how to handle these difficult, which have more “verdiblancos” players help solve the situation Those words were these hot and I do help me return to the national team, but it's what I feel.",being a few months later the Golden Age of Spanish football with the achievement of the two European Championships (2006, 2008) and the World Cup in 2010.
