Unlocking Spain’s Soccer and Education Categories: What Every Young Player Should Know

Wed, 21 May 2025 18:00:00 GMT

Spain is not just a global powerhouse in soccer, it's a destination of dreams for thousands of young athletes who aspire to reach the top. From La Liga stadiums to elite academies, Spain offers a structured and deeply immersive environment where soccer and education go hand-in-hand.

But how exactly does the Spanish soccer system work? And how can international players align their academic goals with their athletic ambitions? Let’s dive into it.

Spain's Soccer Categories Explained

Spain’s soccer development model is considered one of the best in the world, thanks to its tiered and age-appropriate structure that ensures players grow progressively, technically, tactically, and mentally.

U8 to U12 – Fútbol 7 (Seven-a-side)

At these young ages, the focus is on fun, ball control, creativity, and confidence. Games are typically 7v7, allowing more touches and space per player. Think of it as the foundation phase of Spanish soccer.

U13 to U19 – Fútbol 11 (Full-sided matches)

From age 13 onwards, players transition to 11-a-side matches. These categories are divided as:

Infantil (U13–U14)
Cadete (U15–U16)
Juvenil (U17–U19) – This is where scouts and professional clubs start to watch closely.

Each of these has multiple levels:

Primera (regional league)
Preferente (more competitive)
Nacional (top youth division)
Juvenil División de Honor (elite level, where top academies play)

From the Juvenil level, standout players often move directly into semi-pro or pro contracts in clubs' B teams or get promoted to Tercera RFEF or even La Liga academies.

Education in Spain for Student-Athletes

Spain also boasts diverse education paths that allow young soccer players to study while training at high intensity.

Spanish Curriculum (ESO + Bachillerato)

ESO: Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (compulsory education from ages 12–16)
Bachillerato: A 2-year high school program (ages 16–18) that prepares students for university or technical degrees.

Many academies, including Spain Rush-SPF, partner with Spanish schools so international players can integrate seamlessly.

International Schools

Not fluent in Spanish yet? No problem. Spain also has top-tier international schools offering:

British Curriculum (IGCSE & A-Levels)
American Curriculum
International Baccalaureate (IB)

This ensures players can continue their home-country studies while living in Spain.

Why This Combo Matters

Combining professional soccer training with high-quality education means:

Players can chase their dreams without sacrificing academics
Parents have peace of mind about future career options
Athletes develop holistically, on and off the field

Your Path Starts Here

Whether you're a rising striker from the U.S., a talented midfielder from Malaysia, or a goalkeeper from Kenya, Spain is where dreams take shape.

At Spain Rush-SPF , our programs are designed to immerse players in elite soccer while offering access to both Spanish and international education. From tryouts and tournaments to UEFA Pro coaching and visa support, we are the bridge between passion and profession.

Why Spanish Soccer Is Different: 3 Reasons That Set It Apart

Thu, 17 Apr 2025 18:53:47 GMT

Why Spanish Soccer Is Different: 3 Reasons That Set It Apart

When it comes to global soccer, few nations have left as deep a mark on the game as Spain. From dominating international competitions to producing some of the most technically gifted players in history, Spanish soccer has carved out a style and identity that sets it apart. But what exactly makes Spanish soccer different?

In this article, we explore three core reasons that define the uniqueness of Spanish soccer, using insights from the Spanish soccer philosophy, La Liga tactics, and the youth training methods that shape players from the grassroots level. Whether you're a fan, coach, or aspiring player, understanding these differences can offer valuable lessons and deepen your appreciation of the beautiful game.

1. Technical Mastery and Possession-Based Play

One of the most defining aspects of Spanish soccer is its emphasis on technical ability and possession-based play. Often associated with the iconic tiki-taka style, this approach focuses on short passes, constant movement, and intelligent positioning to control the tempo of the game.

From early youth levels, players in Spain are taught to prioritize ball control, passing accuracy, and spatial awareness. Drills often focus on tight-space possession games, rondos, and one-touch passing. The goal is to develop players who are comfortable under pressure, capable of thinking quickly, and confident in their ability to retain possession.

Spanish soccer isn’t about sheer physicality or direct long balls. Instead, it's a cerebral game that values patience and precision. This technical style of play is visible in La Liga matches and in the success of clubs like FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, whose midfields often dominate through skill rather than size.

The result? Spanish teams typically lead in possession statistics, and their players are renowned for their soccer intelligence and creativity. Think of legends like Xavi, Iniesta, or David Silva — all masters of the midfield who could dictate play with elegance and composure.

Relevant Keywords: Spanish soccer style, tiki-taka, technical soccer training in Spain, possession-based soccer

2. Tactical Intelligence and Game IQ

Another reason Spanish soccer is different lies in its focus on tactical intelligence. In Spain, players are not only athletes; they are students of the game. Tactical awareness is drilled into them from a young age, helping them understand the nuances of positioning, spacing, and game dynamics.

Spanish coaches emphasize game IQ, encouraging players to read the game and make smart decisions under pressure. Rather than relying solely on athleticism or set-piece strategies, Spanish teams often adjust formations mid-game and adapt their tactics to exploit opponents’ weaknesses.

This cerebral approach is one reason why Spain dominated world soccer from 2008 to 2012, winning two European Championships and a World Cup. The Spain national team’s tactics during this golden era were a masterclass in coordination, patience, and collective intelligence.

Tactical intelligence in Spanish soccer is also visible in La Liga, which is often described as more tactical and less physical than other major leagues like the Premier League. Teams are known for their structured build-ups, strategic pressing, and fluid formations.

Relevant Keywords: Spanish soccer tactics, Spain national team tactics, La Liga vs Premier League, soccer intelligence Spain, elite soccer IQ Spain

3. A Culture of Creativity and Expression

Perhaps one of the most beautiful aspects of Spanish soccer is its culture of creativity and flair. Spanish players are encouraged to express themselves on the pitch. This freedom fosters not just technical excellence but also imaginative, unpredictable play.

In contrast to more rigid soccer systems where players must stick closely to a coach’s script, Spanish soccer allows for improvisation. Street soccer, futsal, and creative small-sided games are common parts of youth development, especially in cities like Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia.

This emphasis on expression is why Spain produces so many skillful midfielders and attackers who thrive in tight spaces and make game-changing decisions in a flash. The soccer culture in Spain doesn’t penalize mistakes made while trying something new — it embraces them as part of the learning process.

Players like Isco, Thiago Alcantara, and Pedri embody this style, using their flair and creativity to unlock defenses and control games with elegance.

Relevant Keywords: Spain soccer culture, Spanish soccer identity, creative soccer players Spain, soccer development model, La Masia training methods

Conclusion: More Than a Style, It’s a Philosophy

What makes Spanish soccer different isn’t just the tactics or techniques — it’s the philosophy. A deep-rooted belief in intelligence over intensity, skill over speed, and creativity over conformity. It’s a system that trains not just better players, but smarter ones.

As soccer evolves globally, many countries and clubs now look to the Spanish soccer development model for inspiration. Whether it’s the dominance of La Liga teams in Europe, or the continued production of world-class talent, Spanish soccer remains a gold standard of how the game can be played with both beauty and brilliance.

Soccer is not just a sport; it's a test of explosive speed, relentless strength, and unmatched skill.

Here’s your ultimate blueprint to developing into a complete soccer player:

Core Training: Strengthen your core with planks, Russian twists, and leg raises for better balance and stability.
Lower Body Strength: Perform squats, lunges, and calf raises to power through shots, tackles, and sprints.

Endurance & Stamina: Maintain peak physical condition with HIIT and long-distance running.

Pro Tip: Combine strength with flexibility to prevent injuries and maintain agility.

3. Skill: The Magic Touch

Beyond physical attributes, the essence of soccer lies in skillful ball control. Elite players demonstrate superb technical skills, allowing them to dribble, pass, and shoot with exceptional accuracy.

How to Improve Your Soccer Skills:

Ball Mastery: Practice daily with juggling, dribbling drills, and cone exercises to refine your touch.
Passing Accuracy: Enhance your passing with one-touch plays, long-range switches, and wall drills.
Shooting Drills: Master various shooting techniques to become a versatile scorer.

How to Recover from Injuries: A Guide by Spain Rush-SPF Football Academy

Tue, 04 Feb 2025 18:15:00 GMT

In the fast-paced world of football, injuries can be an unfortunate reality. At Spain Rush-SPF , we prioritize not only performance but also the well-being of our players. Recovering from an injury requires more than just time; it demands a strategic approach that combines medical care, mental resilience, and the right environment for healing. Here’s a comprehensive guide to recovering from injuries and getting back stronger than ever.

1. Immediate Action: Recognizing the Importance of Rest

When an injury occurs, the first step is to stop any activity that might aggravate it. Ignoring pain or continuing to play can lead to further damage. Early rest allows the body to begin its natural healing process and prevents complications. As part of our academy’s protocol, injured players are immediately assessed, and rest is prescribed when needed.

2. Seek Professional Evaluation

Accurate diagnosis is crucial. Consult a qualified medical professional to understand the extent of the injury and develop a tailored recovery plan. At Spain Rush-SPF, our players have access to expert physiotherapists and sports doctors who specialize in football-related injuries.

3. Develop a Personalized Rehabilitation Plan

Every injury is unique, and so is the recovery journey. A rehabilitation plan typically includes:

Physical Therapy : Targeted exercises to rebuild strength, mobility, and flexibility.
Gradual Load Increase : Slowly reintroducing physical activities to avoid setbacks.
Cross-Training : Engaging in low-impact activities like swimming or cycling to maintain fitness without stressing the injured area.

Our academy ensures each player’s rehabilitation plan is closely monitored and adjusted as they progress.

4. Focus on Nutrition

The right diet can accelerate healing. Foods rich in protein, vitamins (especially C and D), calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids support tissue repair and reduce inflammation. Staying hydrated is equally vital. Spain Rush-SPF provides nutritional guidance to ensure our players’ diets complement their recovery.

5. Mental Resilience: The Key to Overcoming Challenges

Injuries don’t just affect the body; they can impact a player’s mindset. Feelings of frustration, anxiety, or self-doubt are common. Maintaining a positive outlook and setting realistic goals can make a significant difference. Our academy’s mental wellness program helps players stay motivated and focused during their recovery journey.

6. Gradual Return to Training

Returning to the field too quickly can lead to re-injury. A phased approach is essential:

Light Exercises : Start with basic movements to test the healed area.
Skill-Specific Drills : Slowly reintroduce football-specific exercises.
Full Training : Only return to regular training when cleared by medical professionals.

At Spain Rush-SPF, our coaches and medical team work closely to ensure players return to training safely and effectively.

7. Prevent Future Injuries

Recovery doesn’t end when you’re back on the field. Preventing future injuries is just as important. Incorporate the following into your routine:

Strength and Conditioning : Focus on building a strong core and balanced muscle groups.
Proper Warm-Up and Cool-Down : Always prepare your body before and after training.
Listen to Your Body : Recognize signs of overuse or fatigue and address them promptly.

8. The Role of Team Support

Injuries can feel isolating, but the right support system can make a world of difference. At Spain Rush-SPF, we foster a culture where teammates encourage each other during tough times, reinforcing the sense of belonging and motivation to recover.

Final Thoughts

Injury recovery is not a setback; it’s an opportunity to come back stronger. With the right approach, patience, and support, players can turn challenges into milestones of growth. At Spain Rush-SPF Football Academy, we’re committed to guiding our players every step of the way, ensuring they emerge from injuries as more resilient athletes ready to conquer the game.

Preparing for European Soccer: A Guide to Excelling Abroad

Fri, 03 Nov 2023 11:07:00 GMT

For aspiring soccer players from North America, the opportunity to train and compete in Europe represents a chance to elevate their game to the highest levels. However, the transition to the European soccer environment involves significant adjustments. This comprehensive guide outlines essential steps North American players should take to prepare for European soccer training and tryouts.

Cultural Integration through Gameplay: European soccer is characterized by high technical proficiency, tactical awareness, and dynamic gameplay. North Americans should immerse themselves in European football culture by watching matches, analyzing player techniques, and understanding the strategic nuances that differentiate European soccer from other styles.

Skill Development : In Europe, technical skills like ball control, passing accuracy, and spatial awareness are paramount. Players should focus on refining these abilities through targeted drills and training sessions that emphasize skill execution under pressure, working with coaches who have experience in European football methodologies.

Strategic Understanding : The tactical complexity of European soccer requires a deep understanding of various game plans and player roles. Engaging with tactical analysis, studying professional games, and participating in simulation exercises can enhance a player’s ability to adapt to different tactical scenarios they might encounter in Europe.

Physical Preparation : The pace and intensity of European soccer are notably higher than in many North American settings. Players should prepare by enhancing their physical conditioning, focusing on agility, stamina, and speed through comprehensive fitness programs designed to mimic the fast-paced nature of European leagues.

Mental Toughness : The competitive environment in European soccer can be daunting. Developing mental resilience is crucial. Players should engage in sports psychology workshops, resilience training, and scenario-based mental rehearsals to build the mental toughness required to handle high-pressure situations typical of European tryouts and matches.

The journey from North America to the soccer fields of Europe is not just a test of skill but also of character and adaptability. By focusing on these areas—understanding the European style, honing technical and tactical skills, preparing physically, and building mental resilience—players can significantly enhance their chances of success in European tryouts and training programs.

Are You Ready for the Challenge?

Embarking on this journey requires commitment and a proactive approach to personal and athletic development. Spain Rush-SPF offers a supportive pathway for North American athletes looking to make this transition. With a deep understanding of the requirements for success in European soccer, our academy prepares you to meet these challenges head-on.

UNIVERSITY SOCCER LEAGUES IN THE U.S.A.

Wed, 08 Mar 2023 18:28:00 GMT

We would like to explain as a general knowledge how the United States university soccer leagues are organized, specially to our European followers it can be a bit confusing… Let’s start by saying that the organization in charge of the leagues is the National Collegiate Athletic Association or (NCAA). its mission is to guarantee the correct function of all the sports organizations of the universities of the country, lets have in mind that this organization handles the following sports; basketball, tennis, soccer, golf and so on.

WHAT ARE THE UNIVERSITY SOCCER DIVISIONS ?

It’s important to mention this University league is the anteroom for leagues such as the NBA, the NFL, the MLS, which is the main major soccer league of the U.S.A and Canada, because it’s common in the US that most professional athletes play university leagues before becoming pro, this is because most franchises don’t sponsor local teams, just professional teams, this is why more than 450 thousand players get their early training in this league, it’s worth mentioning the importance of traveling abroad to a soccer culture country to train and to have an advantage over other North American players. European soccer academies are more advance on the type of plays and strategies and it can provide the practical experience in a short period of time to play pro in the United States of America.

In this league there are 3 different categories, also called Divisions with the peculiarity that they are not organized in order or hierarchy, meaning that a Division 3 team can beat a Division 1 team, due to the fact that they are not in Division 1 for winning matches.

NCAA DIVISIONS

*NCAA DIVISION 1: 417 Universities, This league is normally for universities that are sport focused, they are normally bigger than others and have more students.

*NCAA DIVISION 2: 206 Universities, In this league we find a balance between sports and academics, this Division and Division 1 normally host international students.

*NCAA DIVISION 3: 438 Universities, In this league there are not many international students because there are not many sports scholarships available, the most available ones are the ones students get by their grades. This is the main reason most students, especially international ones, go for Division 1 and 2.

MAIN DIFFERENCES IN THE SOCCER LEAGUES

Normally Division 1 has more exposure in the media, some matches are broadcasted on TV due to the fact that most Universities are well known and famous. When it comes to accessibility, Division 1 is harder to get in, they’re requirements are more strict with the age and the grades obtained also the level of English. Division 2 is more flexible with less restrictions.

There are other North American Leagues that are influential such as the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). The advantage these leagues compared to the other ones is the restriction and the fact that there are more than 450 million dollars worth of scholarships available specially for international players. The NJCAA is formed mostly by community colleges, meaning two year education or professional formation (FP) in Spain, this league can give you the opportunity to transfer to a NCAA league.

An important factor of international soccer academies are, the level of training and techniques, this is why Spain Rush-SPF can help get a young player the recognition, they need back in the U.S.A. in a short period of time, most of our programs will have you playing with Local Spanish teams of different divisions and even tryout for them.

THE IDEAL SOCCER FOOTWEAR ACCORDING TO THE TURF.

Fri, 10 Feb 2023 12:30:00 GMT

There are many different types of soccer pitches and there are also many shoes that each offer their own specialty. In this blog we tell you which soccer shoes are most suitable for the different soccer fields.

Firm ground footwear

To start with the normal grass fields. Fields where the grass is not too wet and not too dry, this is also called firm ground, this is an English term. Special soccer shoes have been designed for these types of grass fields, the so-called firm ground soccer shoes. On the sole of the shoe there are about 10 to 15 plastic studs that are not replaceable. The firm ground football boots are the most balanced of all types. These shoes are used by most professional soccer players.

Soft ground footwear

Second, we have soft ground soccer shoes. These are designed for soft and wet grass areas. This type of shoe is not used very often, but it is very unique. Soft ground shoes have long iron studs. Soft ground shoes have fewer studs than firm ground shoes, usually between 6 and 8. The long iron studs ensure that you do not slip easily on the wet or soft field. Because there are fewer studs, the shoe is less stable than firm ground shoes. In many international soccer academies , iron studs are banned because it can lead to massive injuries to opponents or teammates.

Artificial ground footwear

Artificial grass is becoming increasingly popular these days, which also leads to new developments within the shoe market. Spainrush-SFP, professional soccer academy in Spain , also uses artificial grass. Special artificial ground soccer shoes have been designed for these types of grass. These shoes have a high number of thick studs to distribute the pressure in the best way. Firm ground and soft ground shoes run the risk of wearing out quickly on artificial pitches.

Turf footwear

Turf soccer shoes are designed for extremely hard surfaces. These shoes have many more studs than normal so that you do not slip easily on the hard surface. Think of frozen grass or stone. In practice, these types of shoes are not often used for competitions. Turf soccer shoes are therefore not recommended if you are planning to join a soccer academy with a artificial grass.

Indoor Court footwear

Indoor court soccer shoes are designed for indoor use on hard ground. These shoes therefore have no studs but a flat sole. This ensures a lot of grip on the plastic floor of the halls. The shoes are also designed in such a way that the sole does not leave any stripes on the ground.

Advice

Are you planning to join one of the best soccer academies Spainrush-SPF? Then we advise you to purchase firm ground or artificial soccer shoes. This is because artificial turf pitches are widely used in Spain. With Firm ground shoes you run the risk of getting worn out shoes faster, so artificial shoes are the best option.

Bellingham has been in the spotlight for several years due to his outstanding talent in football. The young talented football player currently plays for Borussia Dortmund and the England international team. During the last World Cup, Bellingham was very important for England, as many major football clubs have seen. Apparently Real Madrid and Liverpool have strong interest in Jude Bellingham. Real Madrid is known for buying young talents, however there are no official offers yet.

It is rumoured that Chelsea is now busy with Alexis Mac Allister, the Argentinian teammate of Enzo Fernandez who currently plays at Brighton.

3. Joao Felix

The young attacker from Portugal left Benfica for a huge amount of 126 million euros for Atletico Madrid a few years ago. Now it seems that Felix wants to take the next step. During the last world cup, Felix was very important for Portugal. Felix is popular among the fans as many football players from international football academies are inspired by him. Now Manchester United seem to be interested in Felix, after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, a new attacker is needed.

4. Kylian Mbappe

Finally, the rumor that Kylian Mbappe would leave PSG for Manchester United. According to various sources, Kylian Mbappe is not satisfied with the situation at PSG. Manchester United would be a possible new club for Kylian, of course, this is a big rumor and not a certainty. A lot of big clubs dream of getting Kylian Mbappe in the team.

Still, there are a few moments that will make us think about this World Cup for a longer time. We have drawn up a top 5 with the best moments so far…

Germany became world champion in 2014, since then most people have high expectations. With an excellent team on paper, Germany opens its first match against Japan this year. After a stiff first half, Germany takes a 1-0 lead through a penalty scored by Ilkay Gündogan. The final phase of the game has started when Japan manages to make it 1-1 thanks to Ritsu Doan. A few minutes later, Japan also managed to score the 1-2. The Japanese managed to win against the mighty Germany.

Portugal won 2-0 in the match between Portugal and Uruguay. Normally it is not a question who scored, and it is clearly visible. Something special happened in this game. It is almost impossible to see who scored the 1-0 for Portugal. Footballer Bruno Fernandes gave a cross that Cristiano Ronaldo tries to head into the net. Now the question is whether Ronaldo has touched the ball or whether it went into the goal without touching it. FIFA has decided that the ball has not been touched and that the goal will be credited to professional football player Bruno Fernandes.

Number three is Spain’s record win over Costa Rica. Spain managed to win no less than 7-0 against Costa Rica. Because our professional football academy Spainrush-SPF is located in Spain, we of course have watched with the players most matches, featuring players from all over the world, playing in different countries, therefore an international pro football academy , the only drawback of this is the common disagreements with the players during the world cup.

7 TIPS TO PREPARE A FOOTBALL MATCH

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 21:29:00 GMT

Football is all about the match games. Training sessions are of course also great, but in the matches players really have to show their talent. Good preparation for a match is of great importance to achieve the best possible result. That is why we have 7 tips to prepare as well as possible for a football match .

1. A good night sleep: A professional football player needs a rested body to perform at its best. For example, it is wise to go to bed on time the day before a football match. Many players are worried and stressed, which often leads to sleep deprivation. If this is the case, it is smart to go to bed a little earlier than usual.

2. Prepare sports gear: Many football players pack clothes for the game at the last minute. If a footballer prepares this the night before, it can prevent stress and all focus can be on the match.

3. Take your time: It is also useful to wake up on time for a match, this prevents rushing. At international pro football academy Spainrush-SPF, we always get together on time for a match so that there is no need to race to arrive at a match on time.

4. Eat well: The body gets its energy from sugars. A carbohydrate-rich dish helps the body to perform at its best. Carbohydrates are converted into sugars. For example, it is very good to eat a large plate of pasta the night before a match. It is also smart to eat a lot of carbohydrates the morning before the competition, this must be done a few hours before the competition to prevent cramps. Spainrush-SPF is a professional football academy in Spain where they offer 3 meals a day to the football players that are optimal for the body.

5. Drink water: It is wise to drink a lot of water the day of the competition to avoid becoming dehydrated. This can result in muscle injuries. However, it is not good to drink a lot just before the match starts because this can make you feel bad while playing football .

6. Music: Many top athletes use a motivational music list just before the competition. This gives a player positive energy and is mentally already 1-0 ahead.

7. Avoid negative distractions: Finally, it is important to stay away from negative distractions, especially in the last hours before the game. This way all focus remains on the match and the player will perform the best. The tips are also taught to the players of Spainrush-SPF and that is why we belong to one of the best football academies .

HOW CAN YOU COMBINE FOOTBALL ACADEMY AND SCHOOL?

Fri, 11 Nov 2022 12:59:00 GMT

It is often thought that football at a high level and school cannot be combined. At Spainrush-SPF we think very differently about this. In this blog we will explain how it is possible to combine high performance football and school.

Of course it is not easy to combine professional football with a busy school program. To achieve this, a professional football player must have the right mentality and discipline. At professional football academy in Spain, Spainrush-SPF, we look together with the player to determine the correct school program to follow. Today, combining school and football is a lot easier than it was a few years ago. The technology of for example, online lessons and training courses has improved so much in recent years that this offers opportunities. As a p rofessional football player that you can follow online lessons or training sessions which can save a long travel time, leaving more time to play football.

In addition to the online lessons and training sessions, it is also important to discuss the current situation with the chosen school. Not all schools are open to offering an adapted school program to a student who practices a top sport. Fortunately, there are also plenty of schools that do want to take top sport into account. Spainrush-SPF offers several options when choosing a school. You can choose from various international schools such as: British private High-school, American private High-school or Spanish University college. Besides choosing a school, Spainrush-SPF also organizes Spanish lessons to educate the children well. The importance of a good education distinguishes Spainrush-SPF from other international football academies.

It is very important for a football player who also wants to achieve good results at school to have good communication with parents, school and the football club. Together they can, for example, make a good weekly planning so that it can be seen exactly what needs to be completed each week. If a football player does not make a plan, he or she may fall behind a lot.

Transport is also important when combining football and school. Spainrush-SPF supports the transport of all football players within the international pro football academy . This ensures that all players will arrive at training and school on time. This takes a lot of worry away from the players because they know exactly what is expected of them. Spainrush-SPF therefore aims to train footballers to become professionals in combination with a school career.

7 TIPS ON HOW TO PREVENT INJURIES AT A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL ACADEMY.

Fri, 28 Oct 2022 11:18:00 GMT

Football is one of the most played sports in the world. The millions of people who play football have a lot of injuries. luckily , most injuries can be prevented, unfortunately a large part of football players know little about this. At Spain Rush-SPF Football Academy we do everything we can to prevent injuries and this offers the players an optimal playing time.

Spain Rush-SPF has several physiotherapists with experience within international football academies . Spainrush-SPF wants the players to visit the physiotherapists as little as possible, so we have a number of tips to prevent injuries.

1. Stay active: The football season usually lasts from September to May, in addition there are some months when there is little football. During these months it is very important to keep moving. When there is little or no sport in the months when football is done, the player gets a lower resistance. This is one of the most common reasons for injuries. Good sports to combine with football are swimming, cycling, strength training and running. Professional football players often only get a short period of time off to keep moving again in the summer months.

2. Build activity: When a player has not been moving for a long time, it is important to build up slowly. For example, it is not wise to immediately play an intensive match after a long time without football. Slowly building up activity ensures that muscles get used to football again and so do not become overloaded.

3. Warming up: A good warming up actually speaks for itself, yet this is often forgotten. Spainrush-SPF is one of the best professional football academies in Spain and also pays a lot of attention to warming up players. This reduces the chance of injuries.

4. Cool down: After a match or training, it is also wise to slowly decrease. For example, a player can go for a leisurely jog or walk after a match, this ensures that the muscles cool down slowly and are less likely to become overloaded.

5. Wear the right equipment: We always recommend football players to wear good football boots and shin pads. Often football players don’t wear shin pads or bad football boots, which leads to injuries.

6. Stay hydrated: Drinking well is very important during exercise. Too little water causes the muscles to dry out and this can cause cramps or injuries. Spainrush-SPF always makes sure that the players are getting enough water.

7. Listen to your body: As soon as you experience discomfort or pain while playing football, it is important to stop immediately. It often happens that players continue playing with a pain, resulting in an overload. Even the smallest pain can turn into a long-term injury. Therefore always be alert.
If a player within Spainrush-SPF is injured, our physiotherapists are always ready to help. This contributes to training young footballers to become professional football players .

SOCCER TEAMS SPONSORSHIP AND ADVERTISEMENT.

Tue, 31 May 2022 11:57:00 GMT

We can agree that sponsorship in international soccer teams is an effective form of advertising, many brands pay really high sums of money to be able to sponsor with a soccer team, since a fifth of the world’s population is connected to soccer and is the most televised and streamed sport in the world, no wonder many important brands want that visibility. Brands have gone a long way advertising in soccer academies , soccer clubs and also during the games. It is very common to see soccer players in the field wearing brands such as Samsung, Redbull, Emirates Airlines etc. But did you know that back in the 1890s the tobacco industry used to be one of the main sponsors of international soccer teams? Brands were looking to relate a healthy and sportsy appeal to their packaging, promoting a constant consumption of their products.

While we didn’t have enough information to know that tobacco and sports don’t mix, because it reduces performance and causes lung damage and is not reversible. It’s a great opportunity to realize how far we have come in sports and how today we take many factors under consideration, such as health, proper equipment, food…

SPAIN SOCCER ACADEMIES PROMOTES HEALTHY HABITS.

On May 30 ^th was the World ” No Tobacco Day”. Our Spanish soccer academy wants to highlight the importance of maintaining a healthy body, this is part of the dedication of a professional soccer player . The use of tobacco among professional soccer players is not prohibited but is frown upon and seen as an unhealthy habit.

Today most soccer academies and professional clubs and organizations such as UEAFA and FIFA wont endorse any participation or sponsorship with tobacco companies, Spain and many countries in Europe has come up with restrictive laws against it, all looking for a corporate social responsibility and are presently working internationally to enforce these laws in more permissive places such as Indonesia and Malaysia where tobacco companies still work with soccer teams and pro soccer players .

Spain rush-SPF and international soccer academy with an inclusive nature of young and talented players, that promotes a healthy lifestyle and dedication for soccer, we train the best players and prepare them for professional soccer tryouts in Spain. We are an elite soccer academy with international presence including the United States of America.

THE END OF RAMADAN AND FOOTBALLERS

Mon, 02 May 2022 11:43:00 GMT

The beginning of May brings an end to Ramadan, a holy month for Muslims. One third of the population of the world are Muslims, so there is no surprise to know that most of the finest professional footballers are too. To fast from sunrise to sunset for a whole month can be challenging specially if you must train every day.

We all know that professional athletes must endure intense training, it’s counterproductive to break the routine and still maintain an optimal physical and mental state afterwards. Its no secret a balanced diet and proper hydration are important for a player performance. So, we ask ourselves, how difficult it is to be a Muslim player during Ramadan?

Being a footballer during Ramadan.

According to Muslim footballers, resting properly during these days is crucial for the recovery but they do admit the endurance and mental concentration are reduced. Everyone in the professional sports understand this practice and it’s safe to say that most of the coaching teams are very flexible and show sympathy with the players during these days by monitoring the players training load, motivation, and moods. Some football organizations go a bit further, delaying the training time after 18:30 to give a chance for players to ingest something before going into the field.

At Spain RUSH-SPF we understand the effort and dedication football players makes to complete a whole month with a different diet and hydration needs, we are proud to have players from all over the world, including Muslim countries and apart from offering technical, tactical, and educational training, we take into consideration the diet and its food ingredients to adapt to each player no matter where they come from. This inclusive nature of the academy and the city of Valencia creates a great environment for the players to live a full enriching experience. A football academy located in the Mediterranean coast with tailor made programs prepared for each group.

Sports Psychology in a Soccer Academy

Thu, 02 Sep 2021 10:31:00 GMT

In the last ten years, sports psychology has gone from having an almost spectator role to being part of the headline in all disciplines. Its development is taking place in a context in which athletes are increasingly knowledgeable and aware that they need to enhance all their capabilities to achieve their goals, and how a multidisciplinary team of professionals can take their performance to another level, even when it no longer seems possible.

Some of the benefits of sport psychology are:

Benefits of sport psychology

We cannot understand what sport psychology is without knowing its benefits. Therefore, here is a list of reasons or examples with which we will understand perfectly what the role of sport psychology is.

Attention in sport

One of the great benefits of applying this discipline is the field of mindfulness techniques. Thanks to it, athletes and their technical teams or teammates reinforce their attention and improve their performance during the practice of sport.

Motivation

Thanks to the attention of the psychologist specialized in sport, the athlete, the club and the entire technical team achieve an optimal state of motivation. This translates into better results and better sports performance focused on constant improvement.

Sports objectives

In sport, as in many other areas, having objectives and a good plan to achieve them is essential. A sports psychologist is a key figure in establishing realistic sports goals and setting up an intelligent training plan. In addition, all this also influences self-confidence, which in turn has an impact on motivation and self-esteem, all of which are essential in the world of high-performance sport.

Goodbye to stress

It is one of the great burdens of today’s society that has not left the world of high-performance sport aside. It is true that in the world of competition, stress is key. But to prevent it from becoming demotivating and negative, sports psychology can provide tools for stress management. All this influences the performance, the achievement of objectives and the motivation of the athlete.

Pressure under control

Another great reason to have a psychologist specialized in sports is that this professional allows athletes of any discipline to have the pressure under control. Thus, one of the great answers to what is sports psychology is that it is a great help to manage both stress and pressure.

Confidence

One of the negative aspects that can result from stress, pressure and demotivation is the loss of self-confidence. This is a crucial factor in the field of sport. The discipline we analyze helps us to believe, in a reasonable and real way, that we are capable of achieving success and accomplishing our goals.

Overcoming sports injuries

In addition to making the appropriate physical recoveries, a sports injury involves much more than pain. For example, it truncates all established sports plans, training and goals. Having a sports psychologist is essential in these cases. The support of this professional helps athletes overcome their fears, accept the injury and work mentally in the direction of empowerment.

Team cohesion

If we talk about a sports team, in any discipline, the importance of this science is multiplied. What is sport psychology in relation to a team? Much more than we think. A sports psychologist will help us to create a common environment oriented towards the same collective objectives. Sports psychology is the field of team sports that allows all players to maintain their motivation and not to have problems between them.

Relaxation

If before we mentioned that it is essential to keep the attention while practising sports, now we talk about the opposite. In sport, it is as important to know how to concentrate on what you are doing as it is to know how to relax after you have done it. The techniques of sports psychology help us to disconnect when we should do so.

Personal reinforcement

Finally, it should be noted that a sports psychology professional is able to detect in athletes some deficiencies or needs that, at first glance, may go unnoticed. That is why this figure is so important, as it is responsible for maintaining a healthy mental health context and favourable to the achievement of objectives.

The application of sports psychology is reaching all areas. In high performance, it is already a proven discipline in the evaluation or intervention, in the search to optimize performance. It is also growing in introductory sport, supported by increasingly efficient technology and ever-deeper scientific knowledge. Finally, sport psychology can also be used to maximize the positive effects of sport as a form of leisure and promotion of healthy living.

From Spain RUSH-SPF we firmly believe in this and that is why yesterday, we had the pleasure of holding a workshop with a great specialist in the field, Russell Grocott : Director at PAM Education, IACCA, Lu Ban Restaurant and Owner of Futelite Ltd. The talk was given through his company, Futelite .

Russell Grocott gave a sport psychology class for Spain Rush-SPF

Russell has been driven to work professionally at the highest levels of sport and is currently the Director of several companies that are delivering innovation in high-performance training and learning and in Sports, Culinary Arts and Entrepreneurship.

For the past 12 years alongside Malcolm Frame lead psychologist at Southampton FC , they have been inspired to successfully introduce a unique approach into leadership and futures leaders programmes for clients across all levels and age groups.

Driven by an awareness that we are at the start of an age that will see a totally new approach to the way students engage in learning and the reality of what this will mean to current and future generations

Malcolm’s work at Southampton FC Academy is regarded as the best in the world by many, and Russell’s role at 2016 Premier League Champions Leicester City and as head of the remarkably successful REFA Academy project in Valencia has enabled them to develop groundbreaking performance anatomy programmes.

REFA Academy projet

In 2012 they co-wrote an award-winning learning programme associated with the London Olympic Games. the goal is to help individuals to maximise their talent by reducing limiting beliefs and developing a clear conscious awareness of how they can control the outcome.

A golden day for Mexican soccer

Tue, 25 May 2021 09:28:00 GMT

A few months before the Tokyo Olympics begin, it is impossible not to remember the moment when the Mexican soccer team played the Olympics at the 2012 London Olympics.

August 11 will always be remembered by all the Mexican fans as the day when the national team gold plated and played Olympic glory, to the hang the medal gold of the 2012 Summer Olympics after winning the final one of the most successful and historic teams in the world football: Brazil.

Luis Fernando Tena made it true

That Tri sub 23 arrived with few expectations. A dignified role was expected, but as the matches progressed, the illusion of the national team and the country grew. The dreams of the team led by Luis Fernando Tena ended up coming true.

Moreover, the Mexican team began with doubts when they tied 0-0 with Korea in the first match. The second match was against Gabon commanded Aubeyang, the tri was awarded a 1-0 victory. The last group stage meeting was against Switzerland where the tri won again by the minimum and passed in first place in the group.

In the quarterfinals, they faced Senegal where they took a 2-0 lead but the Senegalese team managed to draw at 2-2 and manage to send the match into overtime. The Mexican team managed to overcome thanks to the great physical and mental state to take the victory 4-2 and advance to the semifinals in search of a final.

Semifinals vs Japan

In the semifinals against Japan at minute 12, the Japanese went ahead with a goal from Yuki Otsu from outside the area. Despite this, despair did not seize the national team and at minute 30, Marco Fabián tied the match leaving 1-1 at halftime. For the second half, Oribe Peralta put Tri up on the scoreboard with a mid-range shot, putting the ball in the upper left corner of the Japanese goal. In minute 93 ‘, Javier Cortés put the cherry on the cake with the final 3-1 that sealed the pass for the grand final of the Olympic tournament.

Make all Mexicans soccer dream in won the Olympic gold, neither more nor less than in the mythical Wembley stadium against the legendary Brazil team.

On the day of the final, the one that put the beautiful game from beginning to end was the tricolour, despite the figures that the Brazilian team had such as Neymar, Marcelo, Thiago among other figures worldwide. In the first seconds, the great illusion of Mexico began by scoring 1-0 with a goal from the dressing room. In the 75th minute, Mexico’s second goal fell to practically win the gold. At the end of the game, the gold scratch discounted to get closer to the scoreboard and put tension in the last minutes that were eternal for the Mexicans and very fast for the Brazilians.

In the end, the tri managed to hold out to win the Olympic gold and sing the national anthem in a soccer cathedral, a historic milestone for Mexican soccer.

Mexico VS Brazil

Finally, on August 11, 2012, Mexico and Brazil met at Wembley Stadium, a historic and unbeatable setting to fill themselves with Olympic glory against the five-time world champion. Just 28 seconds into the game, Oribe, the team leader, put Tri ahead. A bucket of cold water fell on the ‘Scratch Du Oro’ commanded by Thiago Silva, Hulk and Neymar, who was still with Santos from Brazil, but it already sounded for Barcelona at that time.

Mexico controlled the game. He was giving a true football lecture on the Wembley pitch and at minute 75, the ‘Brush’ finished with his head to make it 2-0 and become the hero of the final. Hulk discounted at 91 ‘and Oscar still had a very clear chance at 92’, but in the end, Mexico took the gold medal. Nine years after that feat, you still get goosebumps when you see the goals or listen to the national anthem with the 23 players wearing their medals and only to measure the achievement of that August 11, 2012.

Tokyo 2020 2021

That is why today the Mexican soccer fans will demand a good role (achieve a medal) in Tokyo 2020 or rather in “Tokyo 2021”. Where in the beginning it will not be easy since the first match is against France, current the world champion, and two other difficult opponents such as South Africa and the host Japan. Those commanded by coach Lozano know that they have a great team to achieve their goal.

The three big ones: Nike, Adidas and Puma

Today Nike, Adidas and Puma are three main sponsors that present a lot of football clubs and national football teams all around the world . Moreover, these sports brands are sponsors of the most popular football players. And of course, some people prefer to wear Nike , others Adidas and Puma . These brands are the main competitors in the sports brands market. So, let’s find out more about these well-known brands and their sponsorships.

Why the Athletic Club Bilbao is a soccer treasure?

Mon, 25 Jan 2021 10:21:00 GMT

Athletic Club Bilbao can be without questions called the treasure of the football world. And we don’t overestimate the club while calling it a soccer “treasure”. The football principles of this club must be known for everyone and now we are going to explain why Athletic Bilbao is a soccer treasure.

Historical overview:

Athletic Club Bilbao has never left the LaLiga 1 ^st division together with FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. Nothing special, you would say, but in reality, it is an amazing point that shows the effectivity of the football principles of Athletic Club Bilbao.

Cantera policy

How was mentioned before, football club Athletic Bilbao has been following the Cantera policy since 1912. And undoubtedly it became a heritage of the Basque country.

Cantera policy is the principle according to which football club Athletic Bilbao can sign players from Basque Country. Football philosophy of FC Athletic Bilbao explains that players who have been raised in Cantera of Athletic itself and those trained in clubs in the Basque Country that includes the following territories: Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa, Araba, Nafarroa, Lapurdi, Zuberoa and Nafarroa Behera, can play in the club, as well as the players who were born in any of these cities [1] .

Also, important to mention that the Cantera policy doesn’t apply to the coaches.

Gaizka Garitano

One of the former coaches of Athletic Club Bilbao, Gaizka Garitano , explained the philosophy of the club:

The main recruiting principle is, better to say, the cultural identity rather than Basque ethnicity. Especially because of it, having Basque roots, Marco Asensio, Gonzalo Higuain and Diego Forlán couldn’t play in the Athletic Bilbao and with Iñaki Williams it was vice a versa as he has African roots, but was born in Bilbao, so he has the possibility to play in the club.

Academies

Knowing that Athletic Bilbao consists only of Basque players, it isn’t hard to understand that all players are coming from Basque football academies and especially from the Academy of the Athletic Bilbao. As a matter of fact, the results of the club for 100% depending on the work and recruiting results of Basque academies.

Finance

Talking about the economic part, we see the following situation:

As a conclusion, we have a circle of positive earnings in the club that let a club work professionally in the football sphere and support the Cantera policy. Cantera policy meanwhile became the cultural-football tradition that is well-known to all citizens of Basque countries and of football lovers all around the world. That’s we call Athletic Bilbao the soccer treasure.

5 THINGS YOU MIGHT KNOW ABOUT MARADONA

Fri, 08 Jan 2021 12:01:00 GMT

Diego Armando Maradona , for many the best player in history and an unprecedented icon in Argentina, died of a heart attack at home. His enormous soccer legacy will remain forever in the memory of all soccer fans. How many things do you know about Maradona?

In this article we will see the 5 things you need to know about Maradona.

The Young Maradona

At the age of 10, Maradona joined Los Cebollitas, a youth team from Argentinos Juniors, one of the biggest clubs in Argentina

The youngest professional player

At the age of 16, in February 1977, he joined the Argentinian eleven team and became the youngest professional player in the history of soccer.

1986 World Cup victory

He reached the peak of his career with the 1986 World Cup victory with Argentina. There he scored two goals of the anthology: the famous goal illegally scored with his left hand, he recognized the gesture later and named this "The Hand of God". The second goal was the fruit of his ability to dribble and wipe out a number of defenders before finally finding the back of the net.

The world’s most expensive transfer

Maradona was the first player in the history of soccer to set the world’s most expensive transfers twice, first when he was transferred to Barcelona for a record at the time of £5 million, and second when he was transferred to Naples for another record of £6.9 million.

Maradona VS Real Madrid

When Maradona played for Barcelona, in a Classic against Madrid played at the Santiago Bernabeu he scored a goal in such a spectacular way that the fans of Madrid applauded him, a fact that has only happened three times in the history of the Bernabeu.

To conclude, Maradona wasn’t just a footballer: he was a successful TV presenter, a controversial soccer coach and manager, a commentator, a central protagonist of world entertainment, a political activist and an example for millions of people around the world.

His sporting successes have led him to be an ambassador for UNICEF and FIFA, a “dream teacher” at Oxford University and coach of soccer teams in Mexico, Belarus and the United Arab Emirates, among others, and of the Argentinean national team.

This is how the “Pibe de Oro” , the “ Pelusa “, the “ Cosmic Kite “, became “ D10S “.

1960, Diego Armando was born in the province of Buenos Aires. In 1976, he started playing pro with Argentinos Junior
1979, First World Cup victory with the Argentinean National U20 team in Japan
1986 , The famous "Hand of God" against England in Mexico 86. Argentina wins the World Cup by beating Germany
1997, Retired as a professional player on his 37th birthday, after a third doping test.
2000 , He won the FIFA Player of the Century Award, with Pele
2008, Became the coach of the Argentinean National Team for two years and continued to coach until his death.

Reasons why Spain is the best country for a tryout soccer program

Wed, 18 Nov 2020 10:28:00 GMT

Spain is the country of soccer par excellence; life is punctuated by the matches of La Liga and La Roja (national team). So if you are a soccer player and you dream of becoming a professional why not come to Spain and try your luck in the professional world of soccer? These are the reasons why Spain is the best country for a tryout soccer program .

The first professional soccer league in Spain is called La Liga , and it is simply “ the best league in the world “, dominating the ranking of the best international leagues since 2010 [1] ahead of other leagues such as the Bundesliga, the Premier League, League 1, but also the Brazilian league among others. As you know, the best clubs in the world play in La Liga, such as Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Atletico de Madrid , etc. In total, Spanish clubs have won 78 international titles, including 18 Champions League (11 from Real Madrid), 7 FIFA Club World Cup, 11 UEFA Cups… The last 11 “ballons d’or” have all been awarded to La Liga players (Messi, Ronaldo, Modric) [2] . This international monopoly bears witness to the quality of Spanish soccer.

“Segunda División”, with premier quality

Moreover, the potential of Spanish soccer can also be found in the quality of its lower leagues, the second Spanish division called the “Segunda “, which is considered a professional league. The next level is the « Segunda b », semi-professional league, followed by the third division, amateur league.

As a comparison, in France the number of clubs playing in a professional or semi-professional league is only 46[4], in England, there are 160 [5] , in Germany 56 [6] , and finally in Italy 119 [7] . The opportunities are therefore much more numerous in the Iberian Peninsula.

Another factor to consider is the number of recruiters on the edge of the fields . Spain is known for its large number of soccer talent scoot in both amateur and professional leagues , allowing players who play in amateur leagues but have potential, to move up the ladder more quickly and easily than in other leagues in Europe or elsewhere.

Antoine Griezmann and Spain

You certainly know Antoine Griezmann , but do you know his story? Before he got to where he is today, the path has not been easy for him. As a young man, he tried many times in French professional clubs but was always refused because of his small size and poor physical development, until one day he was spotted by a soccer talent scout from the Real Sociedad. He then left home at the age of 13 to join this Spanish club, he climbed up the ladder and afterwards, everyone knows it: 1 World Cup, 1 Europa League, 2 Supercopa… And many individual distinctions.

Tips for a balanced diet for a soccer player

Tue, 10 Nov 2020 10:55:00 GMT

How do I get a balanced diet for a soccer player?

A balanced diet is undoubtedly important for the health of people. Athletes need a lot of energy to exercise, but this does not mean at all that athletes should eat everything thinking that all the calories will be burned. The athlete’s body is a very complex mechanism that needs the right individual approach to achieve maximum sports results. In addition, nutrition also affects the recovery of athletes from injury.

Let’s dig deeper at the nutrition of soccer players. How many calories should a football player eat? As a general rule, a football player should consume about 45 calories per 1 kilogram of body weight, that is, if a football player weighs 75 kilograms, the daily calorie intake should be 45 times 75, which is 3375 calories. Part of these calories will be spent during exercise, and the other part will go to the functioning of the body in general.

According to SPORTS NUTRITION FOR FOOTBALL: AN EVIDENCE-BASED GUIDE FOR NUTRITION PRACTICE AT FC BARCELONA , basic nutritional guidelines for injury recovery include:

Basic rules of a balanced diet during training and in the everyday life of a football player:

Football clubs make a balanced diet for each of their football players , depending on the characteristics of the player’s body, from allergies, intolerance to certain foods, from the need to lose weight or gain muscle mass. Nutrition is a separate science that has a direct impact on the performance of football players. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to nutrition, because a football player’s body is a special mechanism that needs attention.

All rules are for guidance only. Individual consultation with a doctor is required

The most mysterious cases of Football

Thu, 29 Oct 2020 11:47:00 GMT

Hello again, dear SPFers! Tomorrow is Halloween , also known as “ Noche de los Muertos ” in Spanish. It is a festival of pagan origin that is celebrated on October 31st almost everywhere in the world and whose roots come from an ancient Celtic festival that dates back more than 3,000 years. In this special post, on the occasion of Halloween, we have wanted to tell you about some of the strangest and most paranormal events in the world of football. The world of football has been no out to macabre cases throughout its history. In this post, we are talking about the most mysterious cases of Football. Cases of witchcraft, curses and possessed players are just some of the most shocking events in world football.

Many of them still have no logical explanation today and are open cases. Are you ready? These are ones of the most mysterious cases of football in the world. Let’s go, Halloween begin!

The curse of Benfica

Benfica is one of the most important teams in Portugal. It has won two European Cup titles in 1961 and 1962. The coach of this team was the Hungarian Béla Guttmann and after winning the two trophies he asked for a salary increase. The managers refused and he was fired. After his retirement, he assured that Benfica would never win a European Cup again and this has been the case up to now. In 1963 the Portuguese reached the final again but lost to Milan. The following year they were eliminated in the first round. In 1965 and 1967 they were defeated in the finals by Inter Milan and Manchester United respectively. Until the end of the 1980s, the Portuguese were again in the limelight with two finals in three years where they again lost to PSV of the Netherlands and Milan of Italy. The curse continues.

Killer lightning in the Congo

In 1998 the Bena Tshadi was local to the Basanga at a match in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Kasai , the region where the match was played, is famous for acts of witchcraft and it is said that Tshadi fans always use spells to harm their opponents. In that match, lightning struck during the game and killed all 11 players in the local team. No one else was killed. The visiting players were terrified but grateful to be alive.

Possession on the field

In this video of a Saudi Arabian league match, you can see how the player Abdulrahman Al-Shoaibi starts to jump and move involuntarily on the pitch in front of the stunned eyes of the other players and the referee. His movements are so uncontrolled that it seems that an entity has taken over his body.

The only scientific explanation for this impressive fact is that it is a disease that causes this series of movements when a person suffers a trauma. He suffered a strong blow in the play prior to his strange reaction, but it was not confirmed whether he suffered from this pathology.

The ghost of Peron Stadium

Racing Club and River Plate teams faced each other at the Presidente Perón Stadium in Argentina. With Ramiro Funes Mori’s own goal, Racing Club defeated River Plate 1-0 on November 23rd. The unfortunate goal came 15 minutes into the match, in a rather bumpy move, where Funes Mori himself was run over by the ball that finally went into his own goal.

However, although the fans were enjoying the match, nobody expected what would happen on the pitch. During the middle of the match, the television cameras captured something that has created a lot of controversy in the media and social networks. A mysterious grey ghostly figure appears out of nowhere and starts running quickly across the sideline on the pitch, but spectators, match attendees and players do not seem to notice the ghostly presence.

Top 3 football comebacks

Thu, 22 Oct 2020 10:32:00 GMT

Football is a very beautiful but nervous game for fans. All football fans share one trait of character. And that’s hope. Hope is always in the hearts of football fans who support a particular football club or a team. But today we will not talk about the hope of football fans, we are going to talk about football comebacks or “ remontadas ” (in Spanish). These are the top 3 football comebacks of the current football:

Top 3 football comebacks or “remontadas”:

1/8 of the Champions League 2016/17

1/8 of the Champions League 2016/17 , matches between PSG and Barcelona. March 8, 2017, is remembered by many fans of FC Barcelona and FC PSG. And this is not a surprise, because on this day FC Barcelona made a comeback scoring 6 goals against the Parisian club. In the last few minutes of added time, the Catalans scored 3 goals, and Sergi Roberto’s goal from Neymar will remain in the fans’ memory for a long time.

On February 14, in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, PSG scored 4 goals against FC Barcelona, almost killing the Catalan club. FC PSG was one step away from reaching the next round of the Champions League as they simply needed to maintain the difference in goals in the second round at the Camp Nou. But the Parisians failed to maintain the advantage since from the first minutes Barcelona was ready to make a great historical comeback. In the third minute of the match, Luis Suarez scored a goal against PSG, then Layvin Kurzawa scored a goal by mistake into his own football gates with the help of the greatest Andrés Iniesta. Then a penalty from Lionel Messi, a goal and a penalty from Neymar. And of course, the final goal was not just a goal, but a masterpiece from Sergi Roberto.

Barcelona made a comeback that all fans remember with trembling and joy.

1/4 of the Champions League 2003/04

1/4 of the Champions League 2003/04 , matches between Milan and Deportivo. In the first match on March 23, 2004, at San Siro, Deportivo was the first to hit the goal. On the 11th minute, Walter Pandiani scored a goal against Milan, but the continuation for the Spanish club was very sad, as the Italian club literally beat the Spanish Deportivo with four goals in a few minutes of the second half of the match. Kaka scored the first goal in the 45th minute, in the 46th minute Andrew Shevchenko hit the gates of Deportivo for the second time, in the 49th minute Kaka continued the
attack and scored the third goal, and a bit later on the 53rd Andrea Pirlo scored the final fourth goal of this match. Deportivo “lost the battle, but did not lose the war”, as the second match in La Coruña was developing in a completely different way.

From the first minutes of the match, Deportivo went on the offensive. As a result, 4 goals against Milan and 1 away goal let Deportivo won and pass to the Champions League semifinals. Amazing result!

1/2 of the Champions League 2018/19

1/2 of the Champions League 2018/19 , matches between Barcelona and
Liverpool. It was in the 2018/19 season that Liverpool won the Champions League, but it was not that easy. But really, a miracle was happening at Anfield stadium. On May 1, 2019, at the Camp Nou, Barcelona confidently beat Liverpool thanks to goals of Luis Suarez and a double from Lionel Messi. The Catalans were ready to pass to the final, but an unpleasant surprise awaited them in the second match in Liverpool on May 7, 2019. At Anfield, Barcelona made a large number of mistakes which lead to 4 goals in the gates of Marc-Andre Ter Stegen. This was a very sad and unexpected
result, but we can say that it was deserved. And we can say: “Barcelona is still waiting for the whistle from the referee for a free-kick from Wijnaldum”.

In our high-performance football academy , we enjoy these matches and we know that for our players it is a special moment too, so whenever matches of this category are played in Valencia we bring our players! We hope you found this article interesting. If you have any more comebacks that you think should be on our list don’t hesitate to leave us a comment telling us what it is and why it is so.

Spanish Football Transfers

Tue, 13 Oct 2020 09:30:00 GMT

On 12th of September 2020, after a difficult quarantine period, the new 2020/2021 season of La Liga began? but still without the ability for fans to attend matches. The summer transfer window turned out to be especially interesting for Spanish clubs and football players. Let’s talk about some Spanish Football transfers.

The most unexpected Spanish Football transfers can be considered the transfer of the Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez . This transfer in itself raises many questions since FC Barcelona literally gave one of the most efficient football players as a present to one of its principal competitors in the Spanish league – to Atletico Madrid . Is it logical? No, absolutely not. At least because Luis Suarez has become an important part of modern Barcelona and was perfectly matching with Lionel Messi . It is clear that football clubs are losing a lot of financial resources due to the pandemic and FC Barcelona is not an exception, but Luis Suarez was one of the best, which greatly upset Blaugrana fans along with the news of the possible leaving of the main
player of this club, Lionel Messi. It is good that the conflict has been resolved.

Valencia CF and Villareal CF transfers

Daniel Parejo and Francis Coquelin moved one after another from Valencia CF to Villarreal . Valencia gave its captain Parejo and midfielder to the neighbouring city of Valencia, Villarreal. Parejo and Coquelin have signed contracts with Villarreal for 4 seasons.

Valencia CF also sold their young and up-and-coming player Ferran Torres to English Manchester City . Ferran Torres is a graduate of the FC Valencia Academy, with which he went all the way to become a professional football player. Torres was special, at least because he was born on February 29th, but this is all a joke. But seriously, Ferran Torres was really important to Valencia. He is the team’s second dribbler after Gonzalo Guedes.

Ferran Torres will now play with Pep Guardiola, who will help him grow professionally as a player alongside the outstanding football players of FC Manchester City.

Another Spanish Football transfers are Alvaro Morata and Ferran Torres. Morata returned to Juventus after transferring from the same club to Chelsea and then to Atletico Madrid. Alvaro Morata’s football path is very difficult but very interesting. Can we say that he showed his best game at the Italian club? Yes, maybe… If so, then it’s good that he returned to the club, where his game was successful and beautiful. Moreover, now Alvaro will play with Cristiano Ronaldo, what’s already arousing the interest of many football fans.

There were a lot of transfers this summer, but undoubtedly, the 2020/2021 season began very interestingly, and we, as spectators, can only enjoy the game of our favourite clubs.

Are Spartak And Valencia CF Two Similar Teams?

Mon, 07 Sep 2020 10:08:00 GMT

Are Spartak And Valencia CF Two Similar Teams? Football matches cannot be played normally without them – without football fans (let’s not take into account the time after the Covid-19 pandemic, when all football matches are held behind closed doors or with minimal attendance). But there is no doubt that football fans are an important part of the football spectacle because they create the outer atmosphere of the match and drive the team forward.

All of these fan activities are combined into specific fan traditions and fan culture, which can vary from country to country and from club to club. Football fans are not just people who come to the stadium to watch football, they are a large group of people who are united by one factor, in this case, a football club, and fully identify themselves with the team. Not in vain that football fans are often called the twelfth player.

Football in modern times is one of the most popular sports from both professional athletes and fans, for whom football is more than just a sport. Identification with a football club is an important part of the lives of football fans, and it goes far beyond simple support of the club in the stadium. Identification means complete emotional connection with the club and empathy in moments of defeat and joy. In addition, the main difference between fan’s lifestyle and people who are not fond of football is that fan builds his life according to the football calendar – most plans and decisions are made upon taking into account the club’s game calendar.

FC Spartak & Valencia CF

Today we are going to talk about the fans of the Russian football club “Spartak (Moscow)” and the Spanish football club “Valencia”. Are Spartak And Valencia CF Two Similar Teams?

FC Spartak Stadium

Mestalla Stadium Of Valencia with the colors of the Valencian Flag

A BIT OF FOOTBALL HISTORY

FC SPARTAK

FC “Spartak (Moscow)” was founded in 1922, and the main founder of the club can be considered Nikolay Starostin, who is undoubtedly known to all fans of “Spartak (Moscow)” football club. “Spartak (Moscow)” is the most titled club in Russia, as he became 10 times the Champion of Russia (12 times Champion of the USSR). In addition, “Spartak (Moscow)” is called the “People’s Team” and therefore “Spartak” is the most popular club in Russia [1] . Red and white colours have become a hallmark of the club and all fans, and the nickname “meat” will always be associated with the fans of the football club “Spartak (Moscow)”. In the season 20/21, the team captain is Georgy Dzhikiya, and the head coach is Domenico Tedesco, who took the club into his coaching hands in 2019 [2] [3] .

VALENCIA CF

“Valencia CF” was founded in 1919 and in 2019 FC Valencia celebrated its centenary. It is noteworthy that the stadium of the club “Mestalla” is the oldest football stadium in the first division of the Spanish LaLiga . “Valencia” 6 times became the Champion of Primera and 3 times became the winner of the Europa League[1]. “Valencia” Football Club is an important part of Valencia and all of its inhabitants. White, black and orange are the official colours of the club, and the Valencians don’t associate bats with animals, because the “Bats” is their team. In the season 20/21, Javier Gracia Carlos became the club’s new head coach.

FANS OF VALENCIA CF AND FC SPARTAK

Are FC Spartak and Valencia CF fans similar? Speaking of fans in general, it is worth noting that there are different kinds of fans. They can be categorized in different ways: according to the level of interest or the reasons for supporting a particular football club. There are a lot of fans who support one club from generation to generation, who support the club from their city, or who first became interested in football, and then was fascinated by the game of a particular club or vice versa. More important is that they support a certain club, and this club connects many people around the world.

Imagine a situation: you accidentally see a person at the street who, in some way (for example, through a piece of clothing), shows that he/she supports the same football club as you. What will you think at this moment? I think that you will immediately realize that this is your person and you have a lot in common, even if you see him/her for the first time.

Fans of FC “ Spartak ” and FC “ Valencia ” can really be considered as passionate fans of their club. The fans of these clubs have their own rules, for example, for FC “Spartak” fans it is necessary to know the chants of the club, if possible, wear red colours and have elements with the club’s emblem so to show their belonging to a certain football club.

Football fans create the atmosphere in the stadium by showing their support for the club. Just look at what performances the fans of FC “Spartak” and FC “Valencia” have created. In addition, according to the investigation about best fans made by Spanish Sport newspaper “Marca ”, the fans of “Valencia CF” are in 21st place out of 40 [5] .

FOOTBALL FAN ASSOCIATON

FC SPARTAK FANS

It is common for football fans to form fan groups or associations. For example, FC “Spartak (Moscow)” has the main fan association named “ Fratria ”. This group supports not only the “Spartak” football club but also other sports where “Spartak” team is presented. “Fratria” produces various types of merchandising with the club’s logo, organizes visits to the club’s guest matches, arranges performances and the atmosphere in the stadium during the match. In addition, this association of fans is the organizer of the “ Red-White Heart ” charitable foundation that helps children, veteran athletes and disabled fans. A charity project was also created to protect animals in circuses [ 6 ] .

VALENCIA CF FANS

Also I would like to pay special attention to two fan stories of the football club “Valencia”:

Vicente Navarro Aparicio has been a fan of “Valencia CF” all his life and has always attended matches and occupied the same place at the stadium. At 54 he lost his sight but continued to go to matches with his son. At “Mestalla” stadium on the 15th row at the place 164, a monument to Vicente Navarro Aparicio is erected as a sign of his love and devotion [7] .

Manuel Cáceres Artesero is a fan of “Valencia CF” and the Spanish national team. He has attended all games of the club for 25 years and is known to many fans for his drum, with which he attends football matches (Manolo was also at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia) [8] .

Agree that everyone should know about such amazing stories.

As a matter of fact, football fans really play an important role for every football club, just as a football club plays an important role in every fan’s life. The fan and the club are the organic whole and fans always feel joy or sadness with their clubs.

What are the differences between football in Spain and Russia?

Thu, 13 Aug 2020 09:32:00 GMT

Russia and Spain are completely different countries. Russia is a large multinational country in Eastern Europe that spreads for thousands of kilometres. Spain is a Kingdom in the south of Europe, which is famous for its climate and cheerful people.

But these two countries have a thing in common – love for football. Yes, it is football that brings Russia and Spain closer together and it is a national sport both in Russia and in Spain. In addition, football is part of the culture in these countries and a large part of the everyday life of the people. But the internal structure and characteristics of this sport differ both between countries and between different football clubs within the same country.
Undoubtedly, the football history of these countries will impress everyone.

The great Tiki-Tak

While mentioning Spanish football, episodes of victories of the Red Fury at the 2010 World Cup and at the 2012 European Championship, of games and the great Tiki-Taka, for which Spanish football is so famous, immediately come up to the mind. Andres Iniesta, Iker Casillas, Xavi Hernandez, Carles Puyol, David Villa, Sergio Ramos – these names are well-known outside of Spain since these players of the national team created the history of football
at the beginning of the 21st century.

The Spanish Football League La Liga is one of the strongest and most advanced leagues in the world. In the 21st century, Spanish clubs have won the UEFA Champions League 9 times and also won the UEFA Europa League 9 times, proving the triumph of Spanish clubs in European competitions. In addition, Spain is the first according to UEFA association club coefficients, with “Real Madrid”, “Atletico Madrid” and “Barcelona” football clubs in the top three according to UEFA club coefficients. Also, La Liga is the second most popular league after the English Premier League .

Russian football

Russian football left an indelible impression after the 2018 FIFA World Cup when the Russian national team showed good results at the home championship. Soviet and Russian football players were making history in the 20th and 21st centuries. To this day, Lev Yashin is the only goalkeeper who received the Ballon d’Or award, and also the World Cup award given to the best goalkeeper is named in his honour.

Andrew Arshavin is remembered by all English fans for his 4 goals for FC “Arsenal” against FC “Liverpool” in 2009. Valery Karpin and Alexander Mostovoy showed their skills in the Spanish Championship, and Igor Akinfeev can undoubtedly be considered one of the best goalkeepers in Russia. Tinkoff Russian Premier League is not as popular as Spanish La Liga, but Tinkoff Russian Premier League has its charm and it will always be the best for Russian fans. Also, Russian clubs are actively participating in European tournaments showing good results. Russia is in the seventh-place according to UEFA association club coefficients, while FC “Zenit” is the first Russian club according to UEFA club coefficients .

Tinkoff Russian Premier League and La Liga

Both Tinkoff Russian Premier League and La Liga have spectacular derby matches that arise fan interest and are undoubtedly considered as the key matches of the tournament. In the Spanish La Liga, there is the derby between the football clubs “Barcelona” and “Real Madrid” (everyone knows El Clásico), as between two antagonistic clubs, as well as the city derbies between the football clubs “Barcelona” and “Espanyol” and “Real Madrid” and “Atletico Madrid”. In the Russian Tinkoff Premier League, there are derbies between the football clubs “Spartak (Moscow)”, “CSKA”, “Lokomotiv”, “Dynamo” and “Zenit”. Derbies between the football clubs Spartak (Moscow), CSKA, Lokomotiv, Dynamo and Zenit.

Spain is sun

Spain is famous for its pleasant climatic conditions that guarantee all-year-round training and competition and keep football players active throughout the championship. For example, the 18/19 football season in Spain lasted 38 rounds from mid-August 2018 to May-June 2019 only with a break for Christmas. Russia is very different from Spain in terms of climatic criteria since not all regions of Russia have a suitable climate for games and for fans at the stadiums. That is why the 18/19 football season in Russia was consist of 30 rounds and lasted from the end of July 2018 to June 2019 with a long break from December 9th to March. During this break, clubs had trainings and friendly matches , but the overall competitive pace was undoubtedly declining. That is why climatic conditions play an important role in professional sport.

Indicators of the country’s sports success

The upbringing and education of football players, traditions, the specifics of the training process and the results in Russia and Spain are the main indicators of the country’s sports success. After all, it is a sport that plays an essential role in “soft power” through which it is possible to show the greatness of the country.

For example, the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa showed success not only of the Spanish national football team but of the entire country. And the 2018 World Cup can be considered brilliant, firstly, due to the fact that the 2018 World Cup is the best in terms of organization, which showed Russia as a country ready to host this kind of sports Megaevents and, secondly, in terms of the fact that the Russian national team showed the best results, which returned the confidence of many Russian football fans. Moreover, the 2018 World Cup proved France’s success and strength as the first football country in the world.

Football culture

Spanish football is popular among young Russian football players. In Russia, football academies of various Spanish football clubs are gaining popularity, including the Academy of FC “Barcelona” and the Academy of FC “Atletico Madrid”. Accordingly, the Spanish club training technique enters the Russian market. For more productive integration into European and, in particular, Spanish football, many Russian football players at different stages of their professional development choose football academies in European countries. Such a choice at an early stage in the development of a football career makes it possible, firstly, to understand the training specifics and traditions of European football, secondly, to integrate into European football and practice, and thirdly, to be checked by scouts from various European football clubs.

After all, trainings and competitions play the most important role in the professional development of every football player.

The security of the defenders

The security of the defenders

Defenders in football have an essential role to play. They are obviously responsible for defending and preventing the opposing team from scoring a goal. For this position, there are many qualities that are important and could be considered indispensable. Defenders can be of two types: central or lateral . Both play different roles that we will review throughout the post.

First of all, the factor we consider most important is forcefulness, the security of the player on the pitch. The player has to be brave and aggressive to give 100% on each ball. However, this should not be confused with foul play.

Improve your football level by enrolling with a high-performance soccer academy an international soccer campus with Spanish Pro Football.

Another essential aspect of the composition of a great defender is positioning. The player has to know where he stands on the pitch at all times. Defenders need to be able to read the game perfectly to anticipate every move and to avoid being beaten by opposing forwards.

As we’ve said before, full-backs and centre-backs don’t perform on the pitch in the same way . Centre-backs are usually big and have to work on speed to make long passes to the strikers. In the case of the wingbacks, we’ve been seeing how they act both in defence and in attack lately. Many of them go up the flanks and end up hanging balls in the opposition’s area.

The wingbacks are big, so in the case of corners or fouls, they are usually placed close to the goal to try to win the game against their opponents, thanks to their height, by heading. The aerial balls have to be dominated by a centre to enter the ideal eleven that every coach wants.

Last but not least, there is the characteristic of being a player who thinks a lot. The defender has to have enough mental agility to know when to commit a foul and/or when to put his leg in so that the opponent doesn’t win the ball dispute.

The fact of being calm, thinking fast every move and being forceful will open many doors to become the great defender that every coach wants in his team.

Striker pressure in football

Mon, 13 Jul 2020 11:23:00 GMT

There is an urban legend that says a good striker is out on the field alone and only to score goals. One of the striker’s main functions is to score goals, but this is not the only task he has every time he steps on the field.

The profile is that of an intelligent player with the ability to generate chances that end up in goals. The fact that he is training and gradually improving helps him to find more success on goal. Depending on the position of the player on the field we can find five types of strikers: centre forward, midfield, second striker, winger and pointer.

Among the most used techniques and that the players who are in these positions should know is the head to goal shot. A perfect striker must also control the technique of shooting with both feet, the fact of being ambidextrous will make it much easier to generate chances.

One vs One

One vs one is another technique a good striker must master. The fact of achieving good dribbles to overcome the rivals gives the public a show and at the same time helps you to approach the rival’s goal with no troops playing against you. Skills with the ball at your feet are a very important factor when you want to play as a striker in football.

A striker should not limit his playing area in front of him, he should also help in midfield when his team is in a defensive situation because he does not carry the ball. Without a doubt, the player will be responsible for creating spaces. So the profile of the forward is a dominant, aggressive and ambitious player.

The fact that a striker goes without scoring goals in several matches can be very detrimental to him. Luck to score is an important factor if you want to stop being on the bench in the next matches. The striker has to have a lot of confidence in himself to be able to manage when and why he is on the bench and not conflict with the coach for not being in the starting eleven.

A striker is not a single player, he has to know how to play as a team and not think individually. Concentration, confidence and patience are very important aspects for a striker to achieve his goals.

Develop not only their physical skills

Therefore, this makes a soccer academy into a very good option for all those players who need to improve their skills. In the case of football strikers, it is fundamental to develop not only their physical skills but also their peripheral vision of the field and their mental skills.

The psychological factor underneath the goal

Mon, 29 Jun 2020 15:23:00 GMT

The job of a football goalkeeper is no easy task. The pressure you feel under the posts is not comparable to any position on the field. But above all, a sense of responsibility is a very important factor in choosing this position.

The psychological aspect is an essential factor in the world of sport, to be physically well, you first have to be psychologically well. In the case of the football goalkeeper, this aspect is even more important, the player is only in one part of the field, so he only has himself and his performance is very determinant, so the sense of responsibility and pressure of this player is even greater.

In goalkeeping he is also in charge of reading the game without participating actively, organizing the team and arranging the defence to make his team more effective. So the concentration is even greater during the game.

One of the factors that many studies explain is that the safety of the goalkeeper is essential. Players are more confident if the goalkeeper shows confidence and they are confident in their work. The team is not afraid to defend, and the goalkeeper trusts his players to do so. Transmission of security under the posts is essential for a team to function perfectly.

A goalkeeper has a decisive power

He is the hero in a competition, or he is the one who brings about the defeat of the team. Everything has to be under control in his plan and he has to know how to generate emotions, stress, anger and anxiety in critical moments. We can easily see this in the action of stopping a penalty and the minutes/seconds before the player shoots towards his goal.

The demand in that position is so high that it requires a specific training; which is complementary to a program of psychological help to work the required concentration of his demarcation. The management of frustrations and helplessness in difficult moments is key for both the goalkeeper, as a leader, and the team to continue to move forward to progress in their goals.

In the case of goalkeeping coaches , they have a very important mission; the transmission of confidence. The coach is the person who leads the team, but he feels supported by the help of the goalkeeping coach so that he transmits the necessary confidence, concentration and attention to the player under the clubs.

A not easy demarcation, underestimated, and at the same time required within a team. They are the ones who live on that fine line that separates victory from defeat.

Spanish Pro Football Against Racism

Tue, 02 Jun 2020 18:16:00 GMT

Racism in football is manifested through offences against a person based on origin, ancestry, race, skin colour… These are the most common ways of seeing this type of behaviour manifested, as explained by UEFA in its guide to combating racism in clubs. Spanish Pro Football is against racism!

#BlackLivesMatter, Football against racism.

Spanish Pro Football is completely against these attitudes and in the field to which we belong, football, we are in favour of these attitudes being sanctioned. In SPF Academy we have players from as many as 25 countries. Consequently, multiculturalism and respect are values that take precedence in the way we teach children.

Thanks to this variety of players, a very enriching mix are created that helps in the learning process. Each one of them brings the best of themselves to help the other and, as they were all born in different parts of the world, this helps to create a much more international and multicultural environment that adopts the best of each culture and among them, they are nourished by the most positive values of the rest of their peers.

What is the best way to combat racism? In Spain, there has been a law in place since 2007 to combat this problem , but it has not yet been used as it should be.

Anyway, racism in soccer is something that has to be worked on from the grassroots level. For that reason, it is the work of the clubs that are responsible for training future footballers. These have the mission of promoting interculturalism by educating children with principles of equality, respect and coexistence in order to instil these values. In conclusion, football is a beautiful game and therefore has great power to influence people. For this reason, this sport must avoid this type of behaviour. If it does occur, it must strictly sanction it so that it does not happen again. Spanish Pro Football is against Racism! #BlackLivesMatter #BlackOutTuesday

What is the best country to become a professional soccer player?

Wed, 20 May 2020 09:23:00 GMT

Where are the best Soccer Tryouts and Soccer Trials?

Choosing the right place to do a tryout is an important factor in improving your level and making your trip an unforgettable experience. For this, we are going to present ourselves in the TOP 5 of the best places where to get more knowledge about soccer. For us, these are the best country to become a professional soccer player!

Many are those who trust to be part of much more humble leagues having the view that it is much easier to become a professional footballer if the level is lower. On the other hand, which countries balance the level-facilities balance the most?

# 5 USA

Although living the American dream may be the goal of some player, he always has to think about his professional future above all else. Travelling to the USA is a great option, but in terms of improvement playing soccer, the European leagues have a high level of competitiveness. It can make the choice for a European league more attractive when it comes to conducting a soccer tryout.

# 4 Germany

Germany is one of the countries that has recently been in the best positions in terms of soccer. In 2014 they managed to become world champions, but the level of this country in terms of training for promising young people is yet to improve.

Besides, the climate in this country is cold and the rain greatly hinders the practice of grassroots soccer reaching the fields. The weather makes impossible to play on them in some seasons of the year. And that’s why it’s not the best country to become a professional soccer player.

# 3 Argentina

This country is one of the countries that export the most players to major soccer leagues. In addition, the Argentine first division, where important players from the international scene play, generates many impressions around the world.

On the other hand, non-professional leagues do not have the same level that leagues in countries like Spain or England can have. In these two countries, players have the opportunity to further differentiate levels in different leagues, which makes them more competitive and everything is much more level in terms of results.

# 2 England

There is no doubt that soccer is very important in this country. On the other hand, one of the factors that makes it not so easy to practice it is the weather conditions. In England studies affirm that there is an average of 61 days of sunshine, with an ideal climate to play soccer, this does not happen in the country located in the first place of this ranking, where there are 300 days that enjoy conditions optimal climatic conditions.

# 1 Spain

Undoubtedly, Spain has the optimal climatic , cultural and soccer conditions to become the most suitable country to come to play soccer.

Specifically, in Valencian soccer, we can assess a high concentration of football teams. Clubs from professionals to amateurs that are distributed in up to seven different leagues with a high level of competitiveness : First, Second, Second B, Third, Preferred, First Regional and Second Regional.

At SPF Academy we take care of organizing soccer tryouts throughout the year with the aim of helping young talents find a place to start training in professional soccer and achieve their professional dreams.

Since its creation, Spanish Pro Football has organized lots of tryouts around the world. Players from all over the world have been part of these programs ranging from 2 weeks to three months.

In conclusion, Spain is the best place to carry out tryouts, it has optimal meteorological and technical conditions, so a high level of play and learning in a short space of time is guaranteed in this country.

The questions range from soccer too much more personal aspects of our players. We will discover, like them, if they know each other and remember their birthdays. Questions from who is more likely to change positions in soccer or who would be more likely to jump naked on a soccer field.

Let’s make confinement not so long by listening to Chase and Keanu’s responses to who would get a tattoo before, who is more flirtatious or who could go longer without showering. Know which of the two knows more languages, which travels the most and which does not stop talking about football all day.

CHASE Y KEANU

Also, with Halil and Yarik we will find out who receives more yellow cards, who is better at math or who is angrier with each other. Who is the loudest and annoys the other, who will marry before or who is more unpunctual when they are left. Find out who is most likely to set a world record and what would it be like.

HALIL Y YARIK

Moreover, Halil’s laughter, Yarik’s joy, Chase’s hilarious words and Keanu’s good vibes help us have a good time getting to know our players better .

And that’s because we always have to look for a positive side. Knowing each other a little better is always a good thing, which helps us understand the people we have side by side in our daily lives. Many times, maybe because of the lack of time, we do not stop to know each other a little more and it is something that we should change because of this quarantine. After all, a team is like a big family and we have it clear in Spanish Pro Football!

Is it possible to be a professional soccer player and study?

Mon, 04 May 2020 17:40:00 GMT

Will my child have time to study and train?

Will my son be able to finish his studies while competing in professional soccer? Many are the players and families who wonder if this is possible. At SPF we have no doubts. This is possible!

From Spanish Pro Football we take care of organizing the time of our players so that they only worry about studying and training. The professional career of football is as important as the education and academic training of our players. All our soccer programs are combined with a curriculum adapted to the needs and choice of the same player.

In Spain, mandatory education is until 16 years old. Therefore from SPF Academy , we take care that our players meet this academic requirement. We offer two types of education. The first one is in Spanish with the possibility of learning other languages such as German or English and the second offer is about studying in English.

One of the different educational options is a Spanish intensive course during 2-3 months for the students who have problems with the language. In this way, students can get good Spanish level quickly. Speaking Spanish is a very important skill when you come to play soccer here. In this process, it will be much easier for you to start in a team and feel part of it.

On the other hand, education in an English High School will help you grow in the language, instead, if you want to join this school you need to be sure that you have a high level of English written read and spoken.

From that age on, education is optional, despite this, SPF Academy encourages players to continue their studies and, above all, Spanish classes to continue improving. Players are people and they are not only dedicated to doing sports. They must have more activities outside their sports routine to improve their development as people.

We create training and study routines so that our players also have free time to dedicate themselves. In the morning, they train with the SPF players. After this, they go to class at their respective schools. They stop to eat and have free time. In the afternoon they train with their respective clubs and after dinner, they have free time again before going to sleep to prepare the next day.

The time management of the studies and the training of our players is our work and they only have to worry about following their goals. Yes, as you can read it’s possible to combine sports and studies.

The best way to combine the two activities is to become a good time manager. For example, day and night have 24 hours, eight for sleeping, six for studying and two for meals. Five for training and three for study. The support of parents and sports authorities is very important for the athlete to have a good sports development, without leaving aside the good relationship with the coaching staff, who is a large part of the process become second parents.

The story of Yarik, a player in a soccer academy in Spain

Wed, 15 Apr 2020 16:27:00 GMT

From SPF Academy we would like to tell you the real story about how Yarik’s dream, of play in a soccer academy in Spain, came true. It starts in Russia, Sunday, July 11, 9:30 PM. A 16 years old child is watching TV so anxious to find out who would win the 2010 soccer world championship. Iaroslav Selin, is currently in his village, enjoying the summer with his grandparents.

Beginning in a soccer academy

The hope of a boy who watched how Spain won in the FIFA World Cup and who dream to become a professional footballer in his future. “I was watching all the matches and I love it. I had got a little ball and I told my grandpa to build up a football goal to get a chance to score goals.” This is what Yarik told us about his first kicks to the ball.

Yarik’s grandpa content one of his little dreams and, in a few days, managed to make a steel goal for his grandson to start playing football. A few months later, Yarik realized what he was passionate about: “ In the fall I asked my father if he could find me a team, and within a week I started training with an indoor soccer team near my home.” .

Two years ago, his father announced that his dream of becoming a footballer was gradually coming true. “ He told me he was going to live and play football in Spain. I wanted to try new experiences and my father explained everything about SPF Academy, a soccer academy in Spain ” he says.

Soccer is very different in these two countries . Yarik explains this very clearly: “ There are many differences between Spain and Russia. In Spain the intensity is like in Europe, much higher than in my country, and there is a lot of quality. In Russia, we only have 15 teams in my age group. ”

Iaroslav Selin, SPF Player seson 2019-2020.

Adventure in Spain

He was just a kid, but he travelled to Spain. The adaptation initially was not easy, nobody said that it would be so, Yarik spoke neither Spanish nor English. The young Russian player received help from our coaches, was supported by his teammates and gradually learned to the point where he is today. As a result of learning Spanish, everything went better and he is currently competing at Torrent CF .

Torrent C.F. Club of Yarik, SPF Academy Player

The adaptation to the club went quite well, all his colleagues have lent him a hand whenever he has needed it. Torrent CF is currently in the middle of the table and competing against clubs like Valencia CF and Villarreal CF . Yarik explains: “ We are in the best category of our age and to play a lot you have to show the best version of yourself. ”

Day by day

Trying to improve day by day is an important goal for Yarik. Yarik’s routine begins at 7:30 AM when he wakes up, cleans up and has breakfast. He then goes to the SPF facilities to train and goes to high school. After classes, he has lunch and rests before training with his team, the Torrent CF . After training, he takes another shower, has dinner and goes to sleep to end his day.

“ To be honest, I don’t have much free time “, but he takes the free time to talk to his friends and family.

In addition to training, SPF Academy , the soccer academy in Spain witch guarantees a total immersion in Spanish Football. insists that the players continue their studies. “ Every day from Monday to Friday I have school, it’s a British school and it’s very interesting and difficult, but necessary because it helps us to develop ” he explains.

Present Situation and COVID-19 World Crisis

Given the crisis of the COVID-19, SPF Academy (soccer academy in Spain) wanted to put all its efforts in the health of players and ensuring good conditions them. Yarik comments on how they are experiencing the situation at SPF Academy : “What is happening now is very dangerous, but everyone at SPF is doing their best to make us as safe as possible.”

The players are confined to the Mas Camarena Sports Resort. “ We are in a very cool residence, we have two fields for training, a swimming pool, a gym and an indoor soccer field . The living conditions are excellent here ” explains Yarik.

Sports Residence Mas Camarena, home of SPF Academy

In the residence, they are accompanied and tutored by Ruben Estellés , the Director of SPF, and Noelia Herrero , Educational Director of SPF. Yarik says: “ They are always with us , they prepare the training and the classes to study and if we have any problem they help us in everything”. Now, since he has more free time takes advantage of it to “train in the gymnasium freely, talk to family and friends and prepare for the school exams “.

Besides, both physiotherapists and coaches continue in contact with the players at the academy to continue helping them with their exercises. “ We continue to train every day, they give us individual exercises to do and if we have any doubts they always help us, ” says Yarik.

It is not an easy situation, but with the help of all the Spanish Pro Football staff, we try to make it easier for the boys to continue their physical and intellectual training normally.

3 GATES POSSESSION

At SPF Academy we are focused on developing our player’s skills. Sometimes we work on individual skills. Today we want to show how we help our players to improve 2 different collective behaviours. On the offensive side, the team with the ball will work on how to keep the ball in tight spaces, making the most of the space and finding ways to progress. On the defensive side, players will work on how to trap the ball on one side in order to regain it and switch it to the other side.

SETUP.

3 teams of 4 players in different colours plus one neutral. 3 spaces to play (2 spaces on the sides, 24×20 each and 1 space in the middle 24×8). 3 gates marked with 4 sticks will make 3 gates of 8 meters each.

ORGANIZATION.

The blue team will be moving the ball trying to connect passes finding the way to pass the ball through the gates in the middle. The yellow team will be waiting for the ball on the other side of the field. While the blue team is connecting passes, the red team tries to regain the ball with 2 players pressuring and 2 players covering and sliding, protecting the gates. Red team alternates who press the ball and who cover the gates depending on which side of the field. The red team has 2 ways to start attacking. Kicking the ball out of the field 2 times in a row, or regaining the ball and pass it to the yellow team on the other side of the field.

COACH FEEDBACK.

One coach will be focused on offensive behaviour. The player needs to work on his body shape when their team is keeping the ball, in order to receive the ball and being able to pass the ball forward (we want to progress to the other side of the field). When having the ball, they need to move it fast, to avoid the defensive team pressure.

A second coach will be focused on defensive behaviour, encouraging the players to decide when to be aggressive on the ball and when to stay together and don´t get split.

A 3rd coach (if possible) will be dynamizing the group, providing balls and ‘being the referee’.

These are the big 5 reasons why Valencia it’s one of the best options to join a high-performance football academy or a football training camp.

Reasons that make Valencia a Football Place

WEATHER that makes Valencia a Soccer Place

In the first place, Valencia is a city that registers 300 sunny days per year. One of the most valuable things for a football player is to feel comfortable inside the field.

Spain is Champions League

Fri, 13 Dec 2019 12:35:00 GMT

Over the past week, European leagues are becoming increasingly distant from each other. The 16 clubs participating in Champions League 1/16 Round are located in only 5 of the old continent’s leagues.

La Liga and Premier League are clear dominators of Champions League 1/16 Round having managed to qualify all their teams in the first round of qualifiers, where only five countries are represented with the presence of Germans, Italians and French.

Spain consolidates its position as one of the most important leagues in the world with the presence of all for Spanish teams in this round. This great news for the Spanish football puts a lot of hope in the idea of bringing the cup back to our country.

The teams participating in the Champions League 1/16 Round are: Four Spanish -Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico de Madrid and Valencia-, four English -Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham-, three Germans -Bayern, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig-, three Italians -Juventus, Naples and Atalanta- and two French -PSG and Olympique Lyon.

Israel joins CF San Jose football team

Tue, 10 Dec 2019 08:40:00 GMT

Last November 23th our Israeli player Ori Cohen made his debut with his local team, CF San Jose in the 13th round of the Autonomous League against Kelme CF .

As you know, we have different associated Spanish Clubs (categories and various divisions) to provide players with real opportunities according to their level and age and ensure their individual progression. Because we are the only academy that offers a total inclusion of its players in Spanish football.

In the case of Ori, as in the case of the rest of the SPF players, the assignation of the local team is based on an initial test. Players perform “tryouts” in different Spanish teams, adapted to their level and age.

The Spanish categories are:

Our Israeli left winger started the match as a starter and played a total of 75 minutes out of the 80 game totals. His debut with CF San Jose was a success, which was reflected in the goal scored by Ori, the only one of the whole match by his team. Ori’s goal came in the 20th minute of the first half and was 1-0. With 12 minutes left in the match, the rival team, Kelme CF, tied the match with 1-1.

From SPF we want to congratulate Ori for his debut in the Spanish competition and wish him many victories and triumphs in his football career!

Customized training for injured players

In today’s blog post we’d like to talk about the work of our fitness and physiotherapy specialists. On many occasions, our players are unable to do the training that coaches prepare for the entire team due to injury or illness.

On these occasions both J.M. Periáñez, Fitness Coach of SPF and Robin Hanon, Physiotherapy of SPF, are responsible for performing recovery exercises completely customized for each player and each ailment.

An example of this is the case of our player Yarik, who had a broken radius in his right arm, which made it impossible for him to train with the rest of the group.

Due to the upper train injury, the work is focused on maintaining the performance of the player. Everything is based on natural movements of football such as the change of direction, the sprint, the vertical jump or the pass. We also work on active arm recovery.

The work of our specialists is fundamental to avoid possible serious injuries to the players.

Football preseason in Spain

Tue, 02 Jul 2019 10:13:00 GMT

Football tryouts on teams can be an opportunity to open up a small window to start training (amateur teams, semi-professional teams, professional teams), but there are also so-called high-permance football academies .

In football academies, young players are incorporated into a high-performance football academy that offers them education, high-performance training, competition, advice and many more opportunities to get access to semi-professional or professional teams.

These skills which have shown in each training session and each match are really important for the progress of a player. Sometimes, the most important thing for his development is to stay in the same team all his life, but on other occasions, it is more useful to leave the comfort zone and set new goals. One way to do this is to take part in another team’s level tryouts, being able to grow up into a competitive player both individually and collectively.

Accessing one of the professional youth academies of football clubs is a really complicated mission, in which only 1% of the aspirants usually succeed. It is essential to prepare for these tryouts in professional academies that train players in the most technical and tactical aspects that clubs are looking for.

July is a good month to come to Spain and start testing in the different teams . Our academy players perform in these months the tryouts for different clubs, depending on the level of players. On many occasions, these players, have the opportunity to make the preseason in the new team ensuring much better incorporation to the new club.

As a conclusion it is necessary to emphasize that the difficulty that supposes to join a professional team is very high in Spain , one of the countries of the world with greater soccer quality and where the soccer is the national sport par excellence, but with a good preparation and the help of centers of high-performance all the goals and dreams of the young aspirants to players of professional soccer can be realized.

If you think you’re ready to start this new challenge, SPF invites you to contact us for more information about our training plans and start playing in one of the best football leagues in the world !

Start Your Professional Soccer Career: Pre-Season Trials

Tue, 12 Jun 2018 07:56:00 GMT

As the 2017-2018 soccer season wraps up, the technical departments are bustling with activity, planning for the next season. It's a crucial time for evaluating player reports and balancing incoming and outgoing players to assemble the best team possible.

From June to August, Spanish teams delve into all the scouting reports gathered throughout the season. This analysis is complemented by trials organized by the teams themselves to finalize their rosters for the upcoming season.

The approach to tryouts in Spanish soccer has evolved recently, differing notably from methods outside Europe. Typically, these tryouts are limited to four or five players, targeting very specific positions and integrating them into the team. This method focuses on assessing a player's ability to adapt to the team's style of play rather than just their technical skills. Indeed, a player's adaptability to the team's tactical approach and game intensity is paramount for selection.

At Spain Rush-SPF, we tailor an intensive training program specifically designed to prepare international players for the tactical demands and intensity of Spanish teams. This program kicks off with an evaluation trial and a bespoke training plan aimed at enhancing the player's chances of success in the July tryout stages.

Our pre-season program also includes scouting trials to help place footballers with teams for the upcoming season.

Ruben Estelles: Bridging Global Football Experiences

Sat, 28 Apr 2018 11:14:00 GMT

Ruben Estelles, the CEO of Spanish Pro Football Academy (SPF), is a figure deeply rooted in football, both as a former player and as an influential coach and administrator. His journey began with a football in his feet and goalkeeper gloves on his hands, playing in the youth ranks of Valencia CF and later for various notable Spanish teams.

Following his playing career, Estelles chose to leverage his on-field experiences to assist young players in enhancing their football skills. He combines an academic background with a Master's degree in International Business Administration and extensive football training, including a Master in goalkeeper coaching (UEFA "A" level) and a UEFA Level II coaching license.

These qualifications enabled him to work in various youth soccer academies in Valencia. Soon after, he began to develop international programs for Valencia CF and other clubs and national federations, both in Spain and internationally.

Estelles observes, "Young players worldwide possess an incredible desire to turn professional and are fantastic raw material. However, aspiring to be a professional player requires much more than just desire."

To secure a professional career for young talents, Estelles emphasizes, "No one can guarantee that a teenager will become a professional; multiple factors contribute to such success. At SPF, we prepare players to have the best conditions for each of these factors."

His experience includes coordinating groups of international players from five continents and managing young national teams from Indonesia, South Korea, Rwanda, and others.

"We founded Spanish Pro Football Academy because we recognized the need for a reliable European contact for players and teams, one that would advocate for their interests and help them achieve their goals," Estelles explains.

Leading SPF into the future, Estelles sees it as a challenge: "We aim to bring Spanish football methodology to as many players as possible. This heritage of sport should be accessible to all."

Effort : "Talent is 1%, effort is 99%," is a motto we live by at our academy. We instill in our players that there are no shortcuts to success—their daily commitment and hard work are what will truly help them achieve their goals.
Teamwork : Teamwork is critical, not just in football but in all aspects of life. Our players learn to collaborate effectively with others, understanding that the collective effort of a team is greater than the sum of its individual parts.
Coexistence : At SPF, players learn the importance of coexisting harmoniously with their teammates. This value not only strengthens team bonds but also enhances overall team performance.

The role of a goalkeeper is uniquely demanding on the football field. Unlike the other ten players, goalkeepers require specialized athletic, technical, and tactical training.

The training sessions designed by Arturo Vera are tailored to each age group, combining athletic and technical training within forty-minute sessions. During these sessions, goalkeepers work separately from field players, typically in small groups of two or three, to focus on specialized drills that enhance specific skills such as reaction times, footwork, and aerial abilities through intensive short series.

After these focused sessions, goalkeepers then integrate with the field players. This part of the training is vital as it helps them apply their specialized skills in a game setting, enhancing their overall performance and understanding of match situations.

This structured approach to goalkeeper training is widely adopted by professional Spanish football teams and has been a staple in Arturo’s coaching methodology throughout his career.

If you are interested in developing specialized goalkeeper skills with our expert coaches, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@spanishprofootball.com . We are eager to offer you a customized training program at our academy in Valencia, Spain.

7 Rules Every Aspiring Professional Football Player Must Follow

Sun, 01 Apr 2018 11:00:00 GMT

At Spain Rush-SPF , we have developed seven essential rules for our players to follow if they aspire to become professional football players.

It’s often emphasized how important a proper athletic lifestyle is for young football players. This is absolutely true, and there are specific guidelines that future professional players must adhere to in order to secure their path toward a successful career.

At Spain Rush-SPF, we have created our own proven rules for life outside of football that our players follow. This methodology can be seen in action with some of our most successful academy graduates.

Fellowship
Future professional players must understand the importance of working as part of a team. They need to be supportive and respectful of their teammates, fostering a strong sense of unity and collaboration.
Deep Respect
A professional football player is just one part of a much larger structure. Players must respect not only their teammates but also the technical staff and academy personnel who contribute to the success of the team.
Punctuality
There are countless stories of talented players who failed to make it professionally due to poor discipline. Punctuality is the first step toward maintaining the discipline required in professional sports.
Healthy Diet
Weeks of hard training can be undone by poor dietary habits. Players must follow a healthy diet and strictly limit alcohol consumption to ensure they remain in peak condition.
Watch Football
It's crucial for players to learn from others on the field. By attending matches and watching their peers play, they can better understand how to apply the tactics and skills learned in training.
Routine
A chaotic personal life can ruin a professional athlete’s career. That’s why we provide our players with a structured daily routine that they must follow to stay on track and focused.
Engagement and Stamina
Professional teams look for players who demonstrate strong engagement and endurance. At SPF Academy, we prioritize developing these values in our players, ensuring they’re prepared for the demands of a professional football career.

Where is The Best Place for Soccer in Spain

Tue, 23 Jan 2018 18:21:00 GMT

Spain is globally known for its incredible production of talented football players. Beyond the numerous team trophies and individual accolades, Spain offers exceptional conditions for young players to develop their football skills.

While the media's focus tends to fall on the major cities of Madrid and Barcelona due to the prominence of clubs like Real Madrid , FC Barcelona , and Atletico Madrid , there's another region in Spain that boasts an even higher concentration of football talent: the metropolitan area of Valencia.

As Spain's third-largest city, Valencia has a metropolitan population of around one million and is situated along the Mediterranean Sea. With mild weather year-round and over 300 sunny days annually, it's an ideal location for football development.

The Valencian Community, where Valencia is located, is just two hours from Madrid and three hours from Barcelona. However, what truly sets this region apart is its concentration of top-class European football academies.

Levante UD , Villarreal CF , and Valencia CF are all based within an 80 km radius. The intense competition to join these academies has raised the overall quality of football in the region, making it one of the most competitive environments in Spain and Europe for youth football.

At Spain Rush-SPF Academy , we place our top players in these high-level leagues to compete against future La Liga stars. Our players experience the professionalism, intensity, and tactical demands of top-tier football. They also have the opportunity to get noticed by professional clubs, allowing them to advance their careers or quickly enhance their technical and tactical game, along with their psychological approach to football.

All of this happens in Valencia, one of Spain's most welcoming cities. Unlike some larger cities, Valencia seamlessly blends historical architecture with modern, avant-garde structures. Valencia offers a range of cultural, commercial, and recreational opportunities. From museums and theaters to cinemas, shopping centers, and its beautiful beach, everything in Valencia is within easy reach. With excellent public transportation, visitors and players alike can explore cathedrals, parks, leisure centers, and more, all within 20 minutes of one another.

European Soccer Opportunities for Australian Players

Tue, 02 Jan 2018 21:51:00 GMT

In an exciting development for Australian soccer, Spain Rush-SPF Academy and Melbourne-based REPT Academy have partnered to nurture the rising soccer talent from Down Under. Over the past 15 years, Australian football has rapidly gained prominence, with the country now ranking at the top of the Asian Football Confederation. Australian players like Mathew Ryan (Valencia CF) and Mitchell Langerak (Levante UD) have already made a mark in the renowned La Liga.

This surge in talent is creating opportunities for young Australian players, aged 12 to 23, who are seeking international exposure to further their athletic potential.

The newly established partnership between REPT Academy and Spain Rush-SPF Academy aims to provide these young players with the chance to enhance their soccer skills in Spain through a variety of training programs. In December, the first group of Australian players embarked on a short-term training experience in Valencia, Spain.

The REPT Academy players participating in the initial program include goalkeepers Jake and Youssef, defenders Taki, and forward Rise—all aged between 16 and 19. These players are undergoing intensive morning training sessions and joining elite Spanish teams for evening practices.

The short-term program is tailored for players aged 14 and older, combining intensive training sessions, guest appearances with Spanish teams, and academic development. The program duration is flexible, ranging from 3 weeks to 3 months, and is open to players in all positions.

Looking ahead, the partnership between REPT Academy and Spain Rush-SPF Academy plans to expand, offering both short and long-term training opportunities in Spain for even more Australian players.
