CARLES COTO REJOINS ELITE FOOTBALL WITH ETHNIKOS ACHNA

Our player, Spanish winger and attacking midfielder Carles Coto has joined Cypriot 1st division team Ethnikos Achna on a one year deal.

Coto, a product of FC Barcelona's La Masia and European U19 winner with the Spanish national team in 2007 has been a globetrotter of football in recent years (Belgium, Cyprus, Georgia, Belarus, Uzbekistan and Italy) having not found the right team for his magic yet.

A return to Cyprus where he shone with Anorthosis Famagusta in 2010-11 is now his next step and the trust of the management of the team and the coach has been enough to give Carles the necesseray argument to sign with them.

From Sarbon Football agency we wish him good luck.

EL ORIGEN DEL REAL MADRID - THE ORIGIN OF REAL MADRID

Creo realmente que es un hecho del cual los actuales y pasados gestores del equipo que presume ser el mejor de la historia del fútbol no está muy orgulloso y que amablemente no hace mucho para divulgar. 

Para añadir datos objetivos a mi asunción a principios de año (2015) decidí llevar a cabo mi personal investigación con seguidores del Real Madrid de toda España y alguno internacional, muchos de estos seguidores son actuales jugadores de fútbol, entrenadores y seguidores acérrimos.

Finalmente puedo decir que 135 seguidores contestaron a 3 sencillas preguntas, las cuales detallo a continuación.

1. ¿ Es usted seguidor del Real Madrid desde pequeño ? 

2. ¿ Sabe el nombre y origen del fundador del FC Barcelona ?

3. ¿ Sabe el nombre y origen del fundador del Real Madrid ?

A la pregunta número 1, 110 personas respondieron que si; a la pregunta número 2, 75 respondieron afirmativamente y supieron contestar que el nombre del fundador del FC Barcelona fue Hans Gamper y que su origen era suizo, pero aquí viene la gran sorpresa y el motivo de mi sospecha inicial, la cual se vio confirmada con el resultado de la pregunta número 3, y es que sólo 7 personas supieron contestar que los hermanos Carlos Padrós Rubio junto a su hermano Juan, de origen CATALÁN  fueron los fundadores de su equipo. Además 3 de esos 7 eran 2 Argentino y uno de EEUU.

Quizá me equivoque en esto, pero durante los actos de celebración del centenario de su fundación, no hubo ningún acto de reconocimiento hacia dichos fundadores.  

Sin embargo, la propia web del Real Madrid acredita a Juan Palacios (de manera no oficial) como el fundador del club. 

La polémica está servida, pero la realidad es que ninguno de los 135 tampoco conocían el nombre de Juan Palacios.

I truly believe that the following fact is something that past and current management from what they presume to be the best team in football history is not something to be very proud of, and something they discretly try to conceal. 

To add objective data to my assumption, at the start of 2015 I started my own personal research carried out amongst  Real Madrid supporters from all over Spain and a few intertanional fans. Some of these are current football players, coaches and ardent followers.

Finally I can say that 135 fans answered 3 very simple questions.

1. Are you a Real Madrid fan since you were a child ?

2. Do you know the name and origin of the FC Barcelona founder ?

3. Do you know the name and origin of the Real Madrid founder ?

To Q1, 110 persons answered yes, to Q2, 75 people answered positively and knew that the founder from FC Barcelona was a Swiss by the name of Hans Gamper. But with Q3 came the great surprise and the object of my research. Q3 showed that only 7 people, 3 of which were not Spaniards (2 Argentinians and 1 from the USA) knew that the founder of Real Madrid were 2 Catalans by the name of Carlos and Juán Padrós.

I might be wrong with this, but I think that back in 2002 during the celebration of the centenary of the club's birth, no recognition or honouring was received by the Padrós brothers. 

However, Real Madrid's own official website credits Juan Palacios with being the founder of the club (unnoficially).  

Controversy is served, but reality is that none of the 135 knew the name of Palacios either.

PLAYERS OVER 30

Too many times I've come across negative replies for our players, too many times we receive indecorous silence to our effort and too many times I hear " he's over 30 and we only want players under 30".
And then I wonder, what cosmic law defines and declares that over 30's are no longer valid to play ?

There's a widespread notion amongst many football agents, team directors, sport directors, club's presidents that these players are already disposable and deserve no more.

However, I figure that none of these decision takers would say no to having Zlatan Ibrahimovic (PSG 34), Aritz Aduriz (Ath Bilbao 34), Francesco Totti (Roma 39), Cristiano Ronaldo (almost 31), Esteban Cambiasso (Olympiakos Piraeus, 35), Antonio di Natale (Udinese 38), Luca Toni (Fiorentina 38), Miroslav Klose (Lazio 37), Andrea Pirlo (New York City FC, 36), Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus 37), Iker Casillas (Porto FC 34), Rodrigo Palacio (Inter Milan, 33), Kaká (Orlando City Soccer club, 33), Didier Drogba (Montreal Impact 37), Bacary Sagná (Arsenal 32), Martin Demilchelis ( Manchester City 35), Petr Čech  (Arsenal 33), Xavi Hernandez ( Al Sadd 35), Samuel Eto'o (Antalyaspor 34)  and we could go on and on. And I wouldn't want to forget my idol Ryan Giggs who retired at the age of 40.

So, what happens here ? why do these decision takers are still in their jobs ? Of course, they would all say yes to that list of players, but their answer is that the player that I'm offering is none of the players in the list, to which, my answer is your club is none of the clubs these players play for.

Please respect to age, but most important respect to quality.
