Today's theme is Spain, which is located in Iberian Peninsula, southwest of Europe, with an area of about 5, square kilometers, and there are several overseas islands. The climate is influenced by the Mediterranean and Atlantic oceans. The northern part has a maritime temperate climate. Because its south and north Africa are separated by the strait of Gibraltar, the temperature and climate can be imagined, which should belong to subtropical climate. Barcelona, Valencia and Villarreal on the east coast have typical Mediterranean climate, and there is Mallorca Island opposite the mainland.
Let's talk about its history briefly. Spain should be said to be a country that suffered from war and war before reunification. From the 11th century BC to the 11th century AD, the Iberian Peninsula was at war. Romans, Germans, and Moors from North Africa (see the chapter of Don Quixote's rescue of Moorish beauty, the luxurious palace built by Moors in Granada, Andalusia, and the palace in Seville) invaded one after another. The Spanish people have been fighting the invaders to the death, which has cultivated their brave and exciting national genes. For example, in Spain's "national quintessence" bullfight, the matador is like a brave warrior. After politely saluting the spectators, the choice of fate begins. The life and death performance of two male animals, people who have heard the bullfighting March should be infected by the fast and tense rhythm. The final winner ends the bull's life with a sharp knife and becomes a hero! Become a girl's dream girl and get the highest honor in the city. Also, the annual Bull Run Festival, mom, these people are really crazy, narrow streets, angry bulls. In the words of my heavenly aunt, isn't this a death? Young people can forget it. Middle-aged people in their 4 s, as well as elderly people, actually play this game. What a scandal! ! ! !
Hemingway, an American novelist who participated in World War II, has experienced this scene. He wrote an article, Death in the Afternoon. Take a short taste of everyone: "Bullfighting is the only art that puts artists in danger of death. How wonderful the performance is depends on the sense of honor of the matador." "Cattle have a quality that Spaniards call noble." "You can't believe that a man, a beast and a piece of red cloth propped up with a stick can produce this depth emotionally and spiritually, and can produce pure and classical beauty."
This shows its nation. Red is also the main color of the Spanish flag and sports teams at all levels.
the history after the unification of Spain. The time is about 1492. Of course, modern history cannot be separated from two countries in Iberian Peninsula. Spanish and Portuguese fleets! ! Navigator Columbus, Magellan, D 'Gama. There are also Queen Isabel of Spain and Prince Enrique of Portugal who support them! Because they were unified earlier than other countries in the European continent, with favorable geography, and the nation also had the spirit of adventure and the desire for oriental wealth, they began to explore the earth. After that, these two countries became the world hegemons. Time is the 15th century-the second half of the 16th century, and the country of silver-Argentina has become Spain's bag. Brazil, another world giant, became a colony of Portugal. After that, the two brothers quarreled and quarreled with the Vatican. Finally, under the auspices of the church, the two brothers split the world in two, which is outrageous. . . We didn't nod in China either. . . Real money flowed into their treasuries and nobles' pockets. Then, with the rise of the Netherlands and the destruction of the Spanish armada, everything was calm again. Of course, by the time of Napoleon, the ruler of Spain was conquered by him, but with the tenacious resistance of the heroic Spanish people, Napoleon fell into a quagmire in the east and west fronts, and finally fell short!
The brief historical background and geographical factors above can be called the humanities part. Let's start a visit to its La Liga team, which can be called the geography part!
As mentioned above, Spain is located in the southwest of Europe, bordering the Atlantic Ocean in the north and west, the Mediterranean Sea in the south, the Bay of Biscay in the north and the Pyrenees mountains bordering France. This mountain range is a natural barrier, extending from the west to the Mediterranean Sea, which is really difficult to cross! Warm and dry climate, comfortable life, more suitable for vacation. Therefore, the Spanish Latin football style, flexibility and coordination are superior to those of northern Europeans, central Europeans and northwest Europe. The pace of La Liga is slower than that of Premier League or Bundesliga. Why? For example, La Liga players can kick the ball leisurely while being blown by the warm wind of the Mediterranean, which can be described as "the warm wind makes tourists drunk". ! This is not the case with leagues at higher latitudes. It is easy to say that in summer, if it is rainy and snowy, who will have time to enjoy the scenery, and quickly attack and exercise, or the body will freeze, or it will be necessary to collect clothes after playing. Therefore, it seems that readers should not criticize the overall style of a league, and the geographical environment also plays a decisive role!
Bilbao
Santander
On the west side of the Pyrenees, Basque people live. Basque people are a prehistoric people, and there are many mysterious legends about their origin. They are far from the secular, hardworking and brave, engaged in fishermen, herders, blacksmiths and other occupations. You must be familiar with Bilbao and Santander. By the way, there is a degraded royal society. Especially in Bilbao, Santander seems to be almost famous, except that there is a bank and Zigic. Basque people in La Liga are very tough and loyal! Bilbao was almost relegated in the first two years, and the Spanish Football Association finally managed to avoid relegation. . . In the past, Bilbao had twice made enemies with Diego Maradona, and finally he left Barcelona and went to Naples! Many fans in Bilbao have beards, pipes and little black hats, which is very interesting! Of course, "How unruly into the badlands is", and what the government forces are fighting against in the movie Carmen is the strong beam here! In addition, the great knight Don Quixote of Mancha set out from here. He stayed at the fort overnight, challenged the windmill, fought the Biscay people, looked for a beautiful lady Dulcinea in his heart, and traveled around Spain with Sancho and the thin horse who were bent on becoming the governor. The phrase "the old horse is thin in the west wind, and the sun goes down" seems to describe this dangerous old knight with a shriveled face. The struggle between man and the environment has been staged for thousands of years!
In addition, to the northeast of the mountain range is Andorra, a small pocket country. The football in this country is simply the Fish Club. Because of the insurmountable Pyrenees, this country has survived and now it has become a modern country!
The first two stops are Athletic Bilbao and Santander, and now we are going from northwest to south!
Gihon
Third stop, Gihon Athletic! Spain is in the north, and the Bay of Biscay is in the north. This team is a newly promoted horse, and I know little about it!
La Coruna
Fourth stop, La Coruna! Located in the northwest of Spain, the Bay of Biscay is in the north and the Atlantic Ocean is in the west! Beautiful pocket-sized stadiums, as well as Ma Kai, Tornestam and Belleron! The former three musketeers! Now, after the ups and downs, I hope it will hit the water again!
osasuna in Pamplona
fifth stop, osasuna! Located below the Pyrenees! It is located in Pamplona, which is located at the foot of the Pyrenees! This used to be the main road to stop foreign invaders from entering Spain. When the enemy came down from the Pyrenees, this was the first gateway, which was equivalent to the defense function of Shanhaiguan, which was the "first pass in the world" and had an important strategic position! Now there is an Osasuna that defends the territory and resists foreign "invaders"!
Valladolid
Sixth stop, Valladolid! Located in the north of Spain. I don't know much about this club!
Zaragoza
Seventh stop, Zaragoza! In northern Spain, northeast of Madrid, Don Quixote once visited this place. In addition, the clown used to live here temporarily. He is not Sancho, but aimar! ! ! Zaragoza is back in the top league this year. Good luck! !
Madrid
The eighth stop is the capital, Madrid. He is a capital built on a desolate plateau. Most rivers in Spain originate from the central plateau. There is also a beautiful legend in the name of Madrid! Now this city has become the political and cultural center of Spain, and, by the way, one of the world football centers. Of course, Real Madrid is the most proud of it now. Its weekly league matches touch the nerves of countless fans, and it is also a strong contender for the European Champions Cup! And its arch-rival, Atletico Madrid! And the satellite city of Getafe! Their mission is to stop Real Madrid and fight for the big brother seat in Madrid!
Seville
Ninth stop, Seville! Located in the south of Spain, it should be regarded as the largest city in the south of Spain. It was once the last good memory of the Moors in Spain. The palaces and churches in the city are a great landscape and the product of the intersection of eastern and western cultures! Diego Maradona played here at the end of his football career, but now Seville is a respectable team!
next, March to the east coast of Spain!
Barcelona
The first stop, we came to Catalonia! Barcelona. He is located on the east coast of Spain and belongs to Catalonia province. This is a treasure trove of geomantic omen that breeds artists! ! Luo Suyan: "Artists and bureaucrats are always natural enemies." It is well-known that the great architect Gaudi shaped this city, and Barcelona is also called "Gaudi Capital"! The heroine in the movie "vicky cristina barcelona" came all the way here to study the architectural style, which shows her influence in the architectural world. The hero in the film is also unrestrained and avant-garde. Gaudi password is a mystery that can never be solved! Barcelona, located in Lianggang, like other seaports, has absorbed many excellent foreign cultures and adopted the strengths of many families. It is a city of art and culture! Blue and red symbolize freedom and blood or unrestrained feelings! The soil of freedom will certainly breed great artists! For example, the surrealist master "Dali with one eye" can be regarded as the originator of funny things! Can become the mainstream of that era! Have an indissoluble bond with the city of Barcelona. Now the greatest artists in Barcelona are, of course, Harvey and Iniesta. Let's give prizes and have a double egg! Of course, there is another team in Catalonia, the Spanish.
Eternity of memory
Dali's Mona Lisa
Villarreal
Second stop. Down the river, Villarreal! Located on the east coast of Spain, between Barcelona and Valencia! ! Yellow submarine, Riquelme is sad! ! ! The land where pellegrini rises! ! ! An aggressive nuclear submarine to be reckoned with in Europe!
Valencia
Third stop, keep going downstream, Valencia! The east of Spain, Barcelona, below Villarreal, no wonder the results are always below Barcelona! (joke) Looking at its past record, it has achieved remarkable results and missed the Champions League twice, which is commendable! Bat Corps, "Gourd Baby", Silva needs to refuel!
almeria
Fourth stop, almeria! Located in the south of Spain, the south is close to the Mediterranean, unfamiliar, as if Real Madrid won it 4-2?
Malaga
Fifth stop, Malaga! He is located in the south of Spain, near the Mediterranean Sea! It is also a veteran team in La Liga. The great Spanish painter Picasso was born here. What faction is he from? I really don't know. I only remember that when I was studying, there was a bull artwork he improvised from a bicycle seat in an art textbook. What a surprise! Why can't I think of it?
Jerez
Sixth stop, Jerez! Located in the southwest corner of Spain, just by the strait of Gibraltar, the main throat of the Mediterranean Sea. There is a beautiful legend in the Strait of Gibraltar: the mountains of Europe and Africa were linked together, and then the Strait of Gibraltar was formed after being pulled apart by Hercules. What an elusive legend. Jerez, can you create a myth?
overseas islands! ! !
Mallorca
First stop, Mallorca! Located on the right side of the Spanish mainland, Mallorca Island in the Mediterranean Sea, Eto 'o was exiled by Real Madrid! ! Fortunately, it is not a barren land, but an island with pleasant scenery. No wonder Panthers are refreshed again when they return to the giants. Even killing Real Madrid is a real tragedy! Real Madrid is too kind, it should banish him to Kazan Ruby! That way, there is no worries! (joking)
Tenerife
Second stop, Tenerife. An island in the Atlantic Ocean, located on the west coast of Africa! This island should be the product of Spanish fleet exploring the East! Alone overseas, you can reach the British colony of St. Helena downstream. This is much better than St. Helena, where Napoleon was imprisoned! The first stop of Lei Dongduo's dream journey! Real Madrid's nemesis, the referee of the championship!
To sum up, most teams are located along the coast, with more than half of them, and the competition for the championship mainly occurs in the central region and the eastern coast. The above is a brief talk about Spanish culture and its football geography mentioned in my title. There are many subjective ideas in it. Please forgive me if I have offended you!
