- Sport Weekend.Doohan brand, Sergio García and Peleteiro at the great sport festival in Marbella
The FIFA virus did not reach Marbella and the possible soccer asthenia was diluted among the dozen sports activities that took place this Saturday at the most important sports festival in the country: Sport Weekend Brand . But if the apathy of a Saturday without a League could affect one of the hundreds of attendees who approached one of the 10 stages of the weekend, the festival put an antidote: the colloquium The importance of national leagues . In it, Javier Tebas , president of LaLiga; Urban Cairo , president of Torino and RCS MediaGroup, and presidents Enrique Cerezo (Atlético de Madrid), Quico Catalán (Levante) and Amaia Gorostiza (Eibar) presented their vision about the relevance of domestic competitions in each country, the advantages of the joint negotiations and, also, of the European Super League, which has been flying for some time the world of football in the old continent.
On this aspect, all those who shared the stage agreed to highlight the danger that its implementation would entail. Thebes, in fact, called the idea "bar counter." "I am worried about meetings like yesterday [on Friday] of Florentino Pérez in Zurich," said the president of LaLiga, who did not hesitate to consider that these alliances can "load local industries and the social responsibility of football."
In the same vein, Cairo said, who said that such a competition "would be absolutely negative for the economy of the cities." "People want to go to see their team on Saturday, not a big one from the Super League," said the Torino president, who argued that "national football is more important than is believed because it is passion and tradition: a Derbi can not be compared to anything ». The president of Eibar has not been in favor: «Attacking a model that has been shown to work well, which has managed to balance the competition in our country, would be a shame».
"Do not spend more than you enter"
The frown of the speakers turned into faces of satisfaction when talking about the present of each of their clubs and what was achieved. Family economy led to football: «Do not spend more than you enter», they all concluded. El Levante, which was a decade ago in bankruptcy proceedings, came forward with this homemade formula to which it added "be realistic, orderly and prevent what was to come," as its president said. Catalan acknowledged that, despite the discredit that led to this situation, it was "an opportunity" to restructure the club and adapt it to a new situation.
The maximum president of Atlético de Madrid also knows what it is to take a club in trouble and regain his social, sports and economic prestige. «Work, heart and head», there is the recipe for success for a Cherry Tree especially happy with the new stadium of the team, the Calderón of the Z generation. The pride of Amaia Gorostiza is in the social base of the Eibar and in the numbers. "Today we have no debt, I can even say that we have a 40 million surplus," said the president of the Basque club.
The only impartial observer - because of his status as an Italian leader -, Urban Cairo, showed a healthy envy for the management that LaLiga is making of the image of the competition of our country. "Spain and England have competitive leagues, in Italy there is a lot of economic difference between a club, Juventus, and others, which has caused a situation of great sports differences." "The best and most entertaining leagues are the ones decided in the last game," he concluded.

Urban CairoThe round table The strategy of the winners brought together the national women's soccer coach Jorge Vilda in the Marbella Auditorium; the coach of Granada, Diego Martínez , and a historical coach such as Joaquín Caparrós .
Despite the name of the debate, the contradiction soon appeared: there is no strategy or key to success, but it is a sum of factors where there is always a common denominator: «Transmit that we like work, that we have passion and manage the state of motivation, ”Caparrós defended as soon as he started.
For the Minister of Granada, the term winner should be qualified. "Because the result is a consequence, but winner is an attitude: trust, believe in what you do, positive mentality ... be better every day." Winning is a fact, "a face or cross," said Martinez, who maintained that the task of the coaches is "to rescue symptoms, see signs and place the team on the road to end up winning." As Vilda also supported: "In the end there is a result, but you have to look at the performance objective, the small details that decant the balance to one side or another."
Soccer, football, soccer ... Although so far I have only read about the sport of greatest hobby in Spain, Marca Sport Weekend, sponsored by Iberdrola, Quirón Salud and LaLiga, is being, above all, more than football. Athletics, basketball, motorcycling, golf, BMX, rhythmic gymnastics, tennis, paddle ...
Karpov's simultaneous games
This Saturday, Anatoli Karpov left at all the efforts of the young local chess players who, at least, will carry the signal of those who played against the great champion, and lost. Meanwhile, in a different scenario, Jorge Garbajosa , president of the Spanish Basketball Federation, along with his former teammate and also world champion Carlos Jiménez and the president of the ACB, Antonio Martín , recalled the glories of the past decade and the triumph current.
