Today's theme is Spain, located in the Iberian Peninsula in southwest Europe, with an area of about 500,000 square kilometers and many overseas islands. The climate is influenced by the Mediterranean and Atlantic oceans. The northern part belongs to the 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 the subtropical climate. Barcelona, Valencia and Villarreal on the east coast have a typical Mediterranean climate, with Mallorca on the opposite side of the mainland.
Next, let's talk about its history in general. Spain should be said to be a country that suffered from wars and wars before reunification. From BC 1 1 century to AD 1 1 century, the Iberian Peninsula has been in a state of war. Romans, Germans and Moors from North Africa (see Don Quixote's chapter on saving Moorish beauty, the luxurious palaces built by Moors in Granada and Andalusia, and the palaces in Seville) invaded one after another. The Spanish people have been fighting the invaders to the death, which has cultivated their brave and inspiring national genes. For example, in Spain's "national quintessence" bullfighting, the matador is like a brave warrior. After politely saluting the audience, the choice of fate began. The life and death performances of two male animals, and those who have heard the bullfighting March should be infected by the fast and tense rhythm. The final winner ended the bull's life with a sharp knife and became a hero! Become a girl's dream lover and get the highest honor in the city. Also, the annual bull running festival, mom, these people are really crazy, narrow streets, angry bulls. In the words of my heavenly aunt, isn't this a death wish? Young people can forget it. Middle-aged people in their forties, as well as the elderly, actually play this game. What a scandal! ! ! !
Hemingway, an American novelist who participated in World War II, experienced this scene. He wrote an article "Death in the Afternoon". Let's have a brief taste: "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 red cloth propped up by a person, a wild animal and a stick can produce such depth emotionally and spiritually, and can produce pure and classical beauty."
It can be seen that it is national. Red is also the main color of the Spanish flag and sports teams at all levels.
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. And Queen Isabel of Spain and Prince Enrique of Portugal support them! Because they were unified earlier than other countries in continental Europe, their geographical position was favorable, and their nation also had the spirit of adventure and the desire for oriental wealth, so they began to explore the earth. After that, these two countries became world hegemons. The time was15th century-16th century, and Argentina, the country of silver, became Spain's bag. Brazil, another world giant, became a colony of Portugal. Then 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 the pockets of nobles. Then, with the rise of the Netherlands and the collapse of the Spanish armada, everything was calm again. Of course, by Napoleon's time, the ruler of Spain had been conquered by him, but under the tenacious resistance of the heroic Spanish people, Napoleon fell into a quagmire on the east and west fronts and finally fell short!
The above brief historical background and geographical factors can be called the humanistic part, and the following visit to its La Liga team can be called the geographical 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 France in the Pyrenees. This is a natural barrier, extending from the west to the Mediterranean, 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 better than those in Northern Europe, Central Europe and Northwest Europe. La Liga is slower than Premier League or Bundesliga. Why? For example, La Liga players can play football leisurely while being blown by the Mediterranean warm wind, which can be described as "the warm wind makes tourists drunk". ! This is not the case in leagues with higher latitudes. That's easy to say. In summer, if it rains and snows, who still has time to enjoy the scenery? Hurry up and exercise, or your body will freeze, or you will have to collect your clothes when you are finished. Therefore, it seems that readers should not criticize the overall style of a league, and the geographical environment also plays a decisive role!
Athletic Bilbao team
Santander
To the west of the Pyrenees, there are Basques. Basques 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 also a degenerate royal society. Especially in Bilbao, Santander seems almost famous, except for a bank and Zigic. Basques in La Liga are tough and loyal! Bilbao was almost relegated two years ago, and the Spanish Football Association finally succeeded in relegation. . . Bilbao made enemies with Diego Diego Maradona twice in the past, 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 it is to go into the barren land", and the government forces in the movie Carmen are fighting against the strong beams here! In addition, Don Quixote, Mancha's great knight, started from here. He spent the night in the castle, challenged the windmill, fought with the Biscay people, looked for the beautiful lady Dulcinea in her heart, and traveled around Spain with Sancho and the thin horse who wanted to become the governor. The phrase "the old horse is thin in the west wind and the sun sets" seems to describe this dangerous old knight with a shriveled face. The struggle between human beings and the environment has been staged for thousands of years!
Besides, to the northeast of the mountain range is Andorra, a tiny country. Football in this country is a fishing club. Because of the insurmountable Pyrenees, this country has survived and now it has become a modern country!
The first two stops were Athletic Bilbao and Santander. Now we are going from northwest to south!
Gihon
Third stop, Tihon Sports! Spain is in the north and the Bay of Biscay is in the north. This team is a newly promoted horse, and I know very 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, Tonestam and Belleron! Once the Three Musketeers! Now, after the ups and downs, I hope it can come out again!
Osasuna of Pamplona
Fifth stop, Osasuna! Located under the Pyrenees! It is located in Pamplona, at the foot of the Pyrenees! This was once the main road to prevent foreign invaders from entering Spain. When the enemy came down from the Pyrenees, it was the first pass, equivalent to the defensive role of Shanhaiguan, and it was the "first pass in the world", with an important strategic position! Now there is an Osasuna who defends the territory against foreign "invaders"!
Baladolid
Sixth stop, Valladolid Football Club! Located in northern Spain. I don't know much about this club!
Zaragoza
Seventh stop, Zaragoza! In northern Spain, northeast of Madrid, Don Quixote has been to this place. Besides, the clown once lived here temporarily. He is not Sancho, but aimar! ! ! Zaragoza returned to the top league this year. Good luck! !
Madrid
The eighth stop is the capital Madrid. He is the 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 affect 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 Getafe! Their task is to stop Real Madrid and compete for the big brother seat in Madrid!
Sevilla
Ninth stop, Seville! Located in southern Spain, it should be regarded as the largest city in southern Spain. It used to be the last good memory of the Spanish Moors. 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 respected team!
Next, March on the east coast of Spain!
Barcelona
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 feng shui that breeds artists! ! Luo: "Artists and bureaucrats are always natural enemies." As we all know, the great architect Gaudi shaped this city, and Barcelona is also called "Gaudi Capital"! The heroine in the movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona came here not far from Wan Li 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. This 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 "One-eyed Dali" can be regarded as the originator of comedy! Can become the mainstream of that era! Has an indissoluble bond with the city of Barcelona. Now the greatest artists in Barcelona are of course Harvey and Iniesta. Give out prizes and have a double egg! Of course, there is another team in Catalonia, the Spaniard.
Eternal memory
Dali's Mona Lisa
Villarreal
The 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! ! ! Europe's aggressive nuclear submarine to be reckoned with!
Valencia
Third stop, continue down the river, Valencia! In the east of Spain, Barcelona is lower than Villarreal. No wonder the score is always lower than 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, near the Mediterranean Sea in the south, unfamiliar, as if Real Madrid won 4-2?
Malaga
Fifth stop, Malaga! He is located in southern Spain, near the Mediterranean! It is also an old 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 improvised by him with a bicycle seat in the art textbook. What a surprise! Why can't I remember?
De la Fron 'tera/.Jerez
Sixth stop, Jerez! Located in the southwest corner of Spain, near the main throat of the Mediterranean Sea, the Strait of Gibraltar. There is a beautiful legend in the Strait of Gibraltar: the mountains of Europe and Africa are connected, and then the Strait of Gibraltar is opened by Hercules. What an elusive legend. Jerez, can you create a myth?
Overseas islands! ! !
Mallorca i.
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 the panther returned to the giants and was refreshed. Even killing Real Madrid is a tragedy! Real Madrid is so kind that he should be exiled to Kazan Ruby! So there's no worries! (joke)
tenerife
Second stop, Tenerife. An island in the Atlantic Ocean, located on the west coast of Africa! This island should be the product of the 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 trip! Real Madrid's nemesis, the referee of the championship!
To sum up, most of the teams are located in coastal areas, more than half of them, and the champions are mainly in the central region and the eastern coastal areas. The above is a brief talk about Spanish culture and its football geography mentioned in my topic. There are many subjective ideas in this. Please forgive me if I have offended!
