Antoine Griezmann

Antoine Griezmann is a French football player that plays for the club Atlético de Madrid and the French national team as a forward.

Antoine was born in the province of Maçon, where he began his football career. He embarked on trials with some professional football teams that rejected him for his size. The Spanish club Real Sociedad scouted he and offered a youth contract, that he and his family accepted to make his dream come true: to be a football player.

On 2nd September 2009, Antoine made his professional debut in a match versus the Spanish club Rayo Vallecano. On 8th April 2010, he signed his first professional contract with the Real Sociedad. A lot of big clubs show interest in hiring the player, but he doesn't forget who gives he all.

But, on 28 July 2014, Antoine signed with the Spanish club Atlético de Madrid for €30 millions.

He has won some trophies in his career:

·         1 Second Division (2009-10).

·         1 Spain SuperCup (2014).

·         Ballon d'Or – Third place (2016)

·         LaLiga Best Player (2016)

·         UEFA Team of the Year (2016).

And more...

Moreover, Griezmann, features on the cover of the important videogame FIFA 16 Leo Messi. He was considered the best player of the continental competition EURO 2016. I hope that this player will be one of the best players in the world for many years!

Now I am going to talk about the origins.

This sport was born in the XVIII century in all Occidental Europe. The first winner of rhythmic gymnastics was Ludmica Savinkova of the Soviet Union.

In 1983 the rhythmic gymnastics world cub was instituted.

In 1984 it became an Olympic discipline during the L.A. Olympic Games. In this Games Lori Fung, a Canadian woman was the winner.

Years ago, the international federation of gymnastics only recognized the female modality. But in the 70s in Asia, the male category was accepted. The first world rhythmic gymnastics championship male was in 2003.

Now the masculine competitions are accepted around the world.

Bates Motel

Hi bloggers!

Bates Motel is an American series from the A&E channel.

The plot of the series begins with the tragic story of a family. Lord Bates dies of an unknown cause and leaves his wife and her son Norman alone.

To start, the Mother and son decide to buy a motel on the outskirts of town, which carries the name of the father. During the story we can see the life of Norma and Norman. Norma is a very possessive person; she is always cleaning or cooking. And Norman is very fragile and a little "weird".

The show is based off of the famous film Psycho. And during the series we can see scenes very similar to film.

It has 5 seasons and in each of them we are surprised with something new.

And finally, during the show we discover new characters and new stories. For example one of the characters is a girl who is called Emma, who is the best friend of Norman and is working at the motel with the family. There is also a boy named Dylan who is the brother of Norman but does not share the same father. And that a few years ago there was an accident between Norma and her brother (the uncle of Norman).

I recommend this series because I like it a lot and is very good.

To achieve their objective, they have to work hard and be focused on winning points in every match. Nowadays Villarreal CF isn’t in UEFA Europa League because AC Roma eliminates them by winning the qualifying round. The club is called the Yellow Submarine for their uniform, because it has always been yellow and blue.

The uniform of this year is this:

 

The president is Fernando Roig. The first coach is Fran Escribá and the second coach is Josep Alcácer. The captain is the midfielder Bruno Soriano. The stadium was called El Madrigal, but now it’s called El Estadio de la Cerámica.
