• Memories: the world’s best central defender in MFC

  28 May, 2020
  
  

  

  One year ago Liverpool FC passed through the Marbella Football Center prior to the achievement of the 2019 Champions League. The English team went to the Costa del Sol for a stage, and with them Van Dijk, the best central defender of the moment.

  With a strong mentality, an imposing physique, and an impeccable work ethic, Van Dijk is an unsurpassed defender. Let’s not forget also his intelligence on the lawn and his technical resources. This allows him to get the ball played, helping the team a lot in attack too.

  

  Dutch (Breda, 1991) but with Surinamese ancestry, Virgil began his career at Willem II (a friend of Football Impact), before moving on to the FC Groningen youth team. With this team he will debut in the Eredivisie and will stand out soon, attracting the attention of Celtic Glasgow, who will sign him in 2013.

  Only two years later he will be transferred to Southampton FC for a value 6 times higher than the purchase. A little over two years at Southampton and again he will revalue almost 600%, being transferred for 85 million euros.

  

  In his individual record we can highlight the following titles:

  • Champions League 2019 and runner-up of 2018.
  • 3 Scottish Premiership (Scottish league).

  In addition, in the 2019/20 season, Liverpool FC was breaking all records and their victory was presumed many days in advance.

  Van Dijk’s best moments

• Memories: Inter begins 2017 at MFC

  27 May, 2020
  
  

  

  After the New Year’s holiday, Inter wasted no time and on January 2nd 2017 they were already training on the lawn of the Marbella Football Center. The Italian team arrived to the Costa del Sol for a stage before returning to Serie A.

  The team finished the season fourth, earning a place for the Champions League of the following year.

  

  Luciano Spalletti and his men worked out at MFC for just under a week. During this time they faced Marbella FC and RB Linense in a three teams tournament organized by Football Impact and sponsored by Casino Marbella in La Línea.

  The “nerazzurri” group arrived with its star squad, among which we can highlight: Icardi, Perisic, Eder, Joao Mario, Brozovic, Miranda, Candreva, Handanovic …

  

  This season, the team from Lombardy was fighting for the Serie A title with SS Lazio and Juventus just before the break caused by COVID-19.

  We wish all the best to our friends and we hope that returning to the competition will bring them the best results.

• Memories: MFC and FI at Soccerex and the World Football Summit

  21 May, 2020
  
  

  Marbella Football Center and Football Impact have been in a constant expansion phase in recent years. And to continue along this line, these companies based on the Costa del Sol have attended multiple events within the world of football to publicize their services.

  Soccerex China 2019

  

  Held in May 2019, this impressive event brought together more than 1,000 club delegates from almost 50 countries.

  61 speakers gave talks during the two days that the event lasted. These talks discussed the commercial development of soccer in China, the culture of fans, e-sports, and the digital engagement with fans.

  On the other hand, the possibility of networking was an opportunity to explore new markets.

  World Football Summit 2017

  

  This event brings together the most influential professionals in the world of soccer. The most important issues are discussed and new business opportunities are sought.

  Some of the most important personalities in the world of football gather at this international event. Javier Tebas (LFP), Miguel Ángel Gil Marín (Atlético de Madrid) or representatives of GolTv or Bein Sports were among the attendees.

• MFC and FI, much more than high-performance centers

  20 May, 2020
  
  

  

  We have talked a lot about the facilities of the Marbella Football Center and all those managed by Football Impact. But the service that Football Impact offers to clubs goes far beyond what is strictly sporty.

  Many clubs come to our facilities on the southern and eastern Mediterranean coast of Spain (Costa del Sol, Campo de Gibraltar, Murcia, Alicante …). But in addition to the pure training, the players always demand something more, a little leisure.

  And that’s where the work of Football Impact stands out. All teams have a coordinator who facilitates all tasks. These coordinators also advise the team when choosing an entertainment option.

  The Football Impact work areas have a wide range of leisure activities. And the players greatly appreciate it. Especially when they make tourist trips through the nearby cities (Malaga, Ronda, Gibraltar, Alicante … depending on their gathering venue).

  Since all areas are close to the sea, the beach is another of the main claims. Both for  training, as when relaxing in a beach club or taking a walk at sunset.

  Players also greatly enjoy other sports activities such as golf or paddle tennis.

  For lovers of luxury and shopping, the Costa del Sol is fantastic. Puerto Banús is one of the places most visited by players. There they find their favorite clothing stores, jewelers and the best restaurants and cafes.

  Dortmund, with a Haaland that continues exactly where he stopped (scoring in every game), stays 4 points to the lead and Mönchengladbach 6.

  As for the rest of FI’s friends: tie between FC Köln and FSV Mainz 05 (2-2); draw at home for Fortuna Düsseldorf (0-0); tie for SC Freiburg at the RB Leipzig Stadium (which was third); and one only defeat, for TSG Hoffenheim.

  15 May, 2020
  
  

  

  Soccer returns to our lives. After a long stop, the Bundesliga will bring us top-tier football again tomorrow. Between Saturday, Sunday and Monday, day 26th of the German championship will be played in full.

  6 games will be played on Saturday, including Borussia Dortmund – Schalke 04, a duel between friends of Football Impact.

The match will take place at 15:30 at Signal Iduna Park.

  At the same time, our friends from Fortuna Düsseldorf will face SC Paderborn 07. The team will try to avoid the descent, so the points are essential.

  For their part, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and SC Freiburg also want the Europa League spot that Schalke currently holds. To try to get closer, Hoffenheim will have to beat Hertha of Berlin at home, while the team from Freiburg will have to beat RB Leipzig awa.y.

  A little later, at 18:30, Borussia Mönchengladbach will visit the Eintracht stadium in Frankfurt. Marco Rose’s men made a spectacular start to the season and still have options to fight for the title.

  On Sunday, the first match will be played by two friends from Football Impact. FC Köln and FSV Mainz 05 will meet at 15:30. No team is in trouble, but they shouldn’t relax. Also if they complete a good championship final they could fight for the European positions.

• Memories: Mohamed Salah works out with Football Impact

  14 May, 2020
  
  

  

  Today we remember one of the best footballers Football Impact has ever worked with, Liverpool striker Salah.

  We can see the Egyptian player training on the lawn of Marbella Football Center. The team performed a stage just before winning the 2019 Champions League, as it had also done before the 2018 final.

  The best African player in 2017 and 2018 begins his European career in 2012, when he signed for FC Basel (friendly club of Football Impact). His good work will be worth to sign for Chelsea in 2014.

  A discreet year at Chelsea and he will be transferred to Fiorentina, where he will have a fleeting step. After a year on loan at AS Roma, the Italian team will get their services owned. Another year in the Italian capital and he will be transferred to Liverpool, where his best moment of play will come.

  

  With his smiling demeanor, the Egyptian is one of the Premier League’s most beloved players. Not only for his football but also for his human quality.

  As for his honors, we detail here some of his most outstanding titles:

  • African Player of the Year in 2018 and 2019.
  • Premier League top scorer in the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons.
  • Champions League 2019. 
  • 2015 Premier League with Chelsea.
  • Swiss Super League 2013 and 2014.

  For Football Impact it is a pride to receive players and teams of the level of Mo Salah and Liverpool.

  We encourage you to delight with this striker, as fast as elusive. A nightmare for the defenses.

• Memories: Mainz 05 works out with Football Impact

  Picture: FSV Mainz 05

  Last January FSV Mainz 05 trained in Estepona, carrying out an 8-day stage organized by Football Impact. The Arroyo Enmedio training camps served the German team to prepare themselves along the Winter Break.

  During their stay on the Costa del Sol, Football Impact organized two preparatory matches for the German team. The Dutch FC Emmen and Borussia Dortmund were its rivals. Defeat against the former and victory against the latter was the balance.

   

  Achim Beierlorzer took over the team last November with the aim of keeping the team in the Bundesliga. The German coach arrived with the team in a low moment and after his work with FI has managed to overcome the bad streak, taking the club out of relegation positions.

  Now the team is preparing to return to the competition. On Sunday the 17th they will visit the stadium of FC Köln (Cologne, another friend of FI) on the return to the Bundesliga after the stoppage caused by COVID-19.

  The team needs to maintain the current line in order to stay in the highest category of German football.
