Passing Triangles To keep possession, Barcelona's players kept forming triangles which helped them to pass their way around their opponents. The attackers get one point for every successful pass, but also get two points for every pass that goes between the defenders or 2 points for a pass to the golden player who then passes out to an attacker. They need to have a good understanding of the tactics the team is using and also their role. Have you ever wondered who invented the formation? It also explores the contemporary theme within the game that sees teams enter matches with a mentality of looking not to lose rather than to win, a telling but subtle difference between football today and how it was half a century and more ago, one typified by an emphasis on midfield domination and possession-one that is not so dissimilar to the priorities teams adopted in mob football in the middle ages. The little triangles that Barcelona created are a great example of how to do it as they intricately passed between themselves, even in the tiniest of spaces as they advanced up the pitch.

  • Transposition of a National Sports Event Into a Transnational One on the Example of the Spanish El Clásico
    Przegląd Narodowościowy / Review of Nationalities • nr 9/2019 • Sports as the expression of nation issues ISSN 2084-848X (print) • ISSN 2543-9391 (on-line) • DOI 10.2478/pn-2019-0011 Weronika Górnicka* University of Zielona Góra, Zielona Góra, Poland https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8975-1692 Transposition of a national sports event into a transnational one on the example of the Spanish El Clásico Introduction In one of the interviews, the Spanish journalist Alfredo Relaño, author of the book Nac- idos para incordiarse: un siglo de agravios entre el Madrid y el Barça, stated that “Barca is a sentimental issue, while Real is a tool of conquest [...]. Love for Barca is much pur- er, one loves it regardless of the worse times” (Ruiz, Martiarena, 2012). This diversity, exposed by confronting different styles of club management and team building, is vis- ible in the promotion of the fundamental elements that determine the identity of both teams. Situating them on two extreme positions in the axiological area determines cer- tain sympathies and creates an inseparable bond resulting from the creation of an an- tagonistic relation. The direct confrontation of these two ideas, expressed in El Clásico matches, is the culminating moment in the settlement and determination of the domi- nant entity. Analyzing this situation only in the perspective of the Spanish symbolic and sporting space, where this confrontation is an extension and expression of the Spanish- Catalan conflict, the high level of interest in the meetings is obvious. In 2018, howev- er, live coverage was carried out in 183 countries, which translated into about 650 mil- lion viewers on five continents (El Clasico, 2019).

    2021/2022 FC BARCELONA Welcome back to the BARÇA Academy Family! Founded in 1899, FC Barcelona is unlike many other clubs around the world as members own the club and decide the board of directors in a democratic election. Hence the club motto “Més que un club” which translates to “more than a club”. “More than a club” is at the heart and soul of FC Barcelona, and is transferred to its world- renowned youth soccer system, BARÇA Academy. Each and every player around the world within BARÇA Academy is connected to one another. This means the unique Barça game philosophy and style you see in the world-famous Camp Nou, FC Barcelona’s home stadium in Barcelona, Spain, is the same that Barça Academy players will try to implement and practice every day following the same club’s training methodology AUSTIN | 2021 / 2022 LA MASIA MODEL FC Barcelona's youth academy. La Masia, translated to "The Farmhouse" in English in honor of the original academy house, is the term used for FC Barcelona's youth academy located in Spain. The Academy currently includes more than 300 young players and is the first youth academy in the world to have trained all three finalists for the Ballon d'Or in a single year (Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi, and Xavi). The Academy has been a significant factor in FC Barcelona's European success. Many attribute FC Barcelona's success to the La Masia "Philosophy of Play" which all players learn. The philosophy consists of the application of "total football" mixed with traditional Spanish one-touch play.

The ArenaA stadium and his family’s home in the city also became a draw for football pilgrims. The Netherlands v France friendly international will be halt- ed in the 14th minute for one minute of silence-the first time such a gesture has been made during an international.

    Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport Arbitration CAS 2014/A/3793 Fútbol Club Barcelona v. Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), award of 24 April 2015 (operative part of 30 December 2014) Panel: Prof. Petros Mavroidis (Greece), President; Mr Efraim Barak (Israel); Prof. Ulrich Haas (Germany) Football International transfer of minor players Definition of the “association” responsible for the registration of minors under the RSTP Obligation of the clubs to observe the ban on transfer of minor players Principles of interpretation of a provision Transfer of players under the age of 12 Sanctions on the clubs that reached an agreement for the transfer of a minor player Obligation of the club to report players attending its academy Obligation of the club to initiate and comply with the procedure aiming at obtaining an ITC Proportionality of the sanction 1. The FIFA Statutes, to which the FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players (RSTP) make explicit reference, define the term “association” as “a football association recognized by FIFA. It is a member of FIFA, unless a different meaning is evident from the context”. A regional association which is a separate entity that was established and operates under a national sport structure is not a member of FIFA and, thus, is not an “association” under the terms of the FIFA Statutes. Furthermore, the basis and the rationale of the RSTP is, inter alia, to govern the international transfer of players in between national federations. Therefore, the “association” that should maintain not only the responsibility, but also the actual control and the registration of minors under the RSTP is the national association and not its affiliated regional association.
