• The best football player ever also passed through Marbella Football Center

  26 November, 2020
  
  

  

  Yesterday we were all surprised by the death of Maradona, a tragic news that has convulsed the world of football. Despite the sadness of the news, at MFC we prefer to think that D10s have already reached heaven, where he rests.

  

  The Argentine star, who was the manager of his beloved Argentina in 2008, visited us this year, playing a match. The mere presence of the “fluff” was a real event wherever he went, and his time at Marbella Football Center was no less so.

  

  At our facilities, for many years anyone can see a bust of the star from Lanús, along with other of the greats of world football.

  

  As a player, Diego made his debut very early in Argentinos Juniors, from where he went to Boca Juniors and quickly to FC Barcelona. After a year at Barça, he would end up signing for Napoli SS, a club where he gave the best of his career.

  

  With unparalleled technical quality and an indomitable temperament, Maradona became the best player in history, making Napoli the Serie A champion and Argentina the world champion. And it is because Maradona was not only a great player, he was a leader without equal, with a huge personality and hierarchy.

  

  From MFC and FI we want to show the great pain that this loss supposes us as soccer lovers. We also want to offer our condolences to his family, friends and football lovers. Rest in peace Diego. We will never forget you!

• Spain U21 ends its stage at Marbella Football Center with a 3-0 win against Israel

  “La Rojita” played yesterday the last match of the qualifying phase for the U21  European Championship which will be played next summer at Hungary and Slovenia. The duel against Israel ended with a 3-0 result in favor of the Spanish team.

  After a dull first half, Brahim’s entry in the second half energized the team, which managed to win with goals by López, Barrenetxea and Moncayola.

  

  This is the last official rehearsal for Luis de la Fuente’s team before itsparticipation in the U21 European Championship. Spain is the current champion of the tournament and has already lifted the title five times. With 20 goals in favor and only 1 against, the Spanish team has only tied 1 game, getting almost all the points.

  Players like Brahim, Guillamón, Pedro Porro, Aleñá, Pedri, Óscar or Bryan Gil, make the Spanish team one of the main candidates for the title.

  From Marbella Football Center we trust that the 10 days of “La Rojita” on the Costa del Sol have helped the team to get stronger and to become six time champions next summer.
