SPANISH FOOTBALL back in serious action for 2012 with four SPANISH CUP 1º st leg matches played

concentration, perhaps due to the extra calories, & some paid for it. Here is a quick summary of
events, final results & scorers.
Happy New Year 2012 to you - & all - SPANISH FOOTBALL SPORTS readers around the World. Hope you had
a great night of celebration. However, Football does not stop, & less SPANISH FOOTBALL, which kicks
off this Tuesday with Spanish Cup 1º leg ties. Many well known & Top LIGA players end contract
with their Clubs the 30th of June 2012.
SPANISH SPORTS paper "AS" has written an article on REAL MADRID CF & how the SPANISH FOOTBALL Club
is scouting the International market for talented players. The main ingredientes are that they be
"World Class", young with great potential & "cheap". With the economic times we are all living,
the days of "splashing out + 50M€ for one player" are - for now - over.
Imagine that you are asked the question: "...what is your "Best XI Team" for 2011. But theres more;
forget about tactics, what Guardiola & Mourinho may say & just pick what you like, with money not
being a problem, or Winter Market deadlines, managers, fans, media...no problems, just what you
would wish your "dream" team to be.
SPANISH SPORTS papers become creative during the Xmas Break as Football "stops" but the selling of
papers continue. One inventive daily is Barcelona based "Sport" which comes up with interesting
content, this case, an info-graph dedicated to FC BARCELONA crack ANDRES INIESTA. The diagram is in
Spanish but I believe it is intuitive enough for non-Spanish readers to get the gist.
