Dosier De Prensa ¿Sabes quién es el futbolista que más goles ha metido en la historia de la Liga española? ¿Y el portero que fue nombrado el mejor del mundo cinco años seguidos? ¿Quién crees que jugó su primer partido como profesional a los 15 años? ¿Y el jugador que además es cinturón negro de Taekwondo? Todas estas cosas y muchas más se cuentan en este libro que habla de la vida, la carrera y las anécdotas de los futbolistas más famosos, para muchos los mejores del mundo, y de todas las épocas. Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pelé, Maradona, Oblak, Iniesta y tantos otros te descubrirán secretos de los jugones más admirados, de sus equipos, los partidos, los campeonatos, los Mundiales… ¡Para que llegues a ser como ellos! FICHA TÉCNICA Título: Jugones Ilustraciones: Gabriela Corpas-Iva Subtítulo: Conoce los secretos de Colección: La Esfera Kids Messi, Cristiano, Pelé o Maradona Páginas: 176 para llegar a ser como ellos Precio: 14,90 € Autor: Javier Serrano Fecha de publicación: 07-04-2021 Departamento de Comunicación de La Esfera de los Libros - Tel. 91 296 02 00 La Esfera Kids: [email protected] 1 LOS JUGONES Leo Messi Neymar Jr. Cristiano Ronaldo Marco Van Basten David Villa Zinedine Zidane Zlatan Ibrahimovic Jan Oblak Fernando Torres Ronaldo Nazario Eden Hazard Antoine Griezmann Diego Armando Maradona Jorge Mágico González Iker Casillas Carles Puyol Franz Beckenbauer Erling Haaland Sergio Agüero Xavi Hernández Gerard Piqué Telmo Zarra Sergio Ramos Mohamed Salah Ronaldinho João Félix Kylian Mbappé Johan Cruyff Alfredo Di Stéfano Romario Andrés Iniesta José Ángel Iríbar Raúl Luis Suárez Pelé Ansu Fati UNAS PALABRAS DEL AUTOR ¿Te gusta el fútbol? A mí me encanta. Disfruto mucho cuando juego, pero también cuando veo un partido en la tele; y cuando voy a un estadio, no digamos: el ambiente, la emoción, los gritos de la gente. Pero se trata de animar a mi equipo, ¿eh?, no de ir al campo a insultar a los contrarios o a quejarse del árbitro. El fútbol tiene que ser una fiesta, y los contrarios son nuestros rivales pero no nuestros enemigos. En este libro vamos a descubrir la vida, la carrera y las anécdotas de muchos futbolistas famosos. ¿Son los mejores de la historia? Bueno, eso depende, porque es muy difícil comparar a dos jugadores, sobre todo si Departamento de Comunicación de La Esfera de los Libros - Tel. 91 296 02 00 La Esfera Kids: [email protected] 2 juegan en posiciones distintas. ¿Quién es mejor, Iker Casillas, Carles Puyol o Fernando Torres? No se puede saber, porque uno es portero, el otro es defensa y el tercero es delantero. Así que lo que hemos decidido es elegir grandes futbolistas de diferentes épocas. Están las grandes estrellas de los últimos años, por supuesto, como Messi o Cristiano Ronaldo; pero también jugadores del pasado que están considerados como los mejores de la historia: Pelé, Maradona, Cruyff… Hemos aprovechado para incluir a futbolistas españoles históricos, de hace muchísimos años —a lo mejor, ni te suenan—, como Di Stéfano, Zarra o Iríbar, pero también hablamos de algunos de los que formaron la selección española que ganó de forma consecutiva la Eurocopa de 2008, el Mundial de 2010 y la Eurocopa de 2012: Iniesta, Casillas, Xavi Hernández, Torres, Ramos, Villa… ¡Qué tiempos, lo que disfrutamos en España de aquellos torneos! No nos hemos querido olvidar de grandes jugadores que ya son estrellas mundiales, pero que todavía pueden llegar más lejos, como Oblak, Hazard o Neymar, y tampoco de futbolistas muy jóvenes, que han llegado al mundo del fútbol con mucha fuerza, pero que todavía tienen toda la carrera por delante, como João Félix, Mbappé o Haaland. En definitiva, este libro habla de futbolistas de todos los tipos y de todos los tiempos, es una mezcla curiosa. Pero lo que es seguro es que vas a descubrir muchas cosas que no sabías, y vas a conocer los grandes logros de las estrellas del fútbol mundial. Ah, y si te preguntas en qué orden los hemos colocado, la respuesta es: como nos ha dado la gana. No los hemos ordenado de mejor a peor, ni de peor a mejor. Simplemente, los hemos ido poniendo como se nos ha ocurrido, porque todos son verdaderas estrellas mundiales. Javier Serrano Departamento de Comunicación de La Esfera de los Libros - Tel. 91 296 02 00 La Esfera Kids: [email protected] 3 EL AUTOR Javier Serrano (Bilbao, 1972) es periodista, escritor y aficionado al fútbol. «Cuando jugaba, era buenísimo, un mago del balón, un goleador nato —nos cuenta en plan abuelo Cebolleta—, pero no entiendo por qué los ojeadores de los grandes equipos nunca vinieron a buscarme. ¡Si era un jugón! Es incomprensible, porque iba para estrella mundial». Así que se quedó para la liga de su pueblo. Como aficionado, es ferviente seguidor del Athletic y del Cádiz, y reconoce que el momento más feliz de su vida fue «el gol de Iniesta». Padre de tres hijos, el segundo, Alberto, también juega al fútbol. «Un crack», asegura el autor de Jugones. Sus dos hijas, Sara e Irene, han preferido el balonmano. «¡También se salen!», dice orgulloso. Como escritor, este es su decimotercer libro. Otros títulos, también editados por La Esfera y siempre de corte humorístico, son Historia de España contada por estudiantes, El manual del buen corredor, ¡Papá, tú puedes!, Chistes para niños, Tardes de chapas y pan con chocolate y Más chistes para niños.

  • Zinedine Zidane Voted Top Player by Fans
    Media Release Date: 22/04/2004 Communiqué aux médias No. 063 Medien-Mitteilung Zinedine Zidane voted top player by fans uefa.com users vote Zidane, Beckenbauer and Cruyff as top three The search to find European football's top player from the past 50 years ended today, Thursday 22 April, with the announcement that French international midfielder Zinedine Zidane has beaten off competition from German great Franz Beckenbauer and Dutch master Johan Cruyff, to be named number one by the users of uefa.com. The announcement, made at the UEFA Golden Jubilee ceremony, which opened the XXVIII Ordinary UEFA Congress in Limassol, provided much discussion among the assembled delegates and football representatives, especially with Beckenbauer in attendance. "Just to be in the top 20 is touching, it's great," said Zidane, who provided a message via video from the Spanish capital. "It is extraordinary to be voted one of the best European players of the past 50 years. I am a bit surprised, but I am very glad that people appreciate what we do on the pitch. “I am bracketed with those players that have made a difference in the last 50 years and when you play football, this is the reason you do it. For me, football is everything. It was my biggest passion and something I always knew how to do best. Even today, practically at the end of my career, I enjoy playing football. It is a privilege." No formal award was made to Zidane, although as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of both UEFA and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), UEFA will provide a donation to a Youth football development fund being administered by the AFC in order to help install an artificial turf pitch in East Timor, which will be named after the France and Real Madrid CF midfielder.

  • Basque Soccer Madness a Dissertation Submitted in Partial
    University of Nevada, Reno Sport, Nation, Gender: Basque Soccer Madness A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Basque Studies (Anthropology) by Mariann Vaczi Dr. Joseba Zulaika/Dissertation Advisor May, 2013 Copyright by Mariann Vaczi All Rights Reserved THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the dissertation prepared under our supervision by Mariann Vaczi entitled Sport, Nation, Gender: Basque Soccer Madness be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Joseba Zulaika, Advisor Sandra Ott, Committee Member Pello Salaburu, Committee Member Robert Winzeler, Committee Member Eleanor Nevins, Graduate School Representative Marsha H. Read, Ph. D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2013 i Abstract A centenarian Basque soccer club, Athletic Club (Bilbao) is the ethnographic locus of this dissertation. From a center of the Industrial Revolution, a major European port of capitalism and the birthplace of Basque nationalism and political violence, Bilbao turned into a post-Fordist paradigm of globalization and gentrification. Beyond traditional axes of identification that create social divisions, what unites Basques in Bizkaia province is a soccer team with a philosophy unique in the world of professional sports: Athletic only recruits local Basque players. Playing local becomes an important source of subjectivization and collective identity in one of the best soccer leagues (Spanish) of the most globalized game of the world. This dissertation takes soccer for a cultural performance that reveals relevant anthropological and sociological information about Bilbao, the province of Bizkaia, and the Basques. Early in the twentieth century, soccer was established as the hegemonic sports culture in Spain and in the Basque Country; it has become a multi- billion business, and it serves as a powerful political apparatus and symbolic capital.

It was founded as a sports club of Madrid by Basque students sympathetic to Athletic Bilbao. The team in the Spanish capital will no longer be a subsidiary in 1921, when it dismembered the Basque team. However, the similarity of uniforms, names and badges, arose because of the way the Madrid club was created, remained. His best period came between 1939 and 1975, winning seven of the ten titles in the Spanish league, the 1962 European Cup and finishing second in the UEFA Champions League in 1974. The runner-up in 1974, by the way, brought Atletico a curious position of the first intercontinental cup club, not winning the most important continental interclub trophy: the team defeated the Argentines from Independiente, not winning the UEFA Champions Cup, lost to Bayern Munich. The German club gave the Spanish place. Atletico will again be a Champions League finalist in 2014 and 2016 without winning it. He previously won the UEFA Europa League in 2010 and 2012, a title he will win again in 2018.
