There are several reasons why I love Real Valladolid. Above all, the fans. Dedicated and fiercely passionate. They have been betrayed and sold lies. They deserve so much more. Buying a club is not the same as buying a toy. Respect the people who hold the club in their hearts 💜
🏴Esta mañana hemos estado en #Burgos apoyando al @VRAC, que ha conseguido una victoria importantísima 💪🏉
🏆Consiguiendo el 1º puesto en la fase regular.
¡Enhorabuena por el gran trabajo! 👏🏻
Una plantilla bochornosa formada por un incompetente y dirigida por un cobarde.
Esto es el Real Valladolid.
Enhorabuena a los que nos han traído aquí, a los que lo mantienen así y todos los que aplauden sin ningún tipo de sentido crítico. Gracias a todos por destruir al club.
@LaLigaLondon@GuillemBalague@LaLiga@LaLigaEN Absolutely, this is the key thing I'd change about Spanish football as an overseas fan. I have to book a four-night/five-day trip to attend one match to cover all the potential dates and kick-off times. Turns a 'quick weekend' away at the footy into needing a week off work.
Remember the following next time someone tells you @LaLiga is behind.
@LaLigaEN just showed us its 24/25 numbers. A record €5.464 billion in total revenue. A record 17.4 million fans in grounds. €70 million profit before tax. Squad costs held at 70% of income. A league that lives within its means, but also one that is growing as well.
Here’s what really doesn’t get said enough, although it might not be fully surprising.
#LaLiga leads Europe in academy player market value.
€1.46 billion. Ahead of the #PremierLeague.
Those players represent 26.6% of LaLiga’s total market value. In England? 9.7%.
LaLiga academy players play nearly 20% of all minutes in the league. In England, 13.5%.
This is a league that develops talent, trusts it, and builds on it. 91% of those academy players are Spanish.
The Premier League is a financial phenomenon. Of course it is, no one is pretending otherwise.
But it spends more than double what it earns. Has been doing so for seven years. That should be worrying.
A league that turns a profit, fills its stadiums, and leads Europe in growing its own? It sounds to me like it is a good way to run football.
Things to improve: refereeing, VAR, the behaviour of fans (LaLiga has been fighting racism and discrimination, but even more has to be done), the departure of talent, more women involved in decision making at all levels.
Esto debería ser más sancionable que otras cosas más absurdas que sí se castigan. Yo creo que ya está bien de ser tan falsos y de permitir que lo sean.
Today, our very own @Mallorcalex100 is on his travels as he heads to the beautiful city of Valladolid!
He will visiting José Zorrilla as he takes in @realvalladolid vs Cádiz. So, we thought what better time to do a thread on the brief history of the club!
THREAD 🧵
Our very own @Mallorcalex100 is in place at José Zorrilla ahead of Real Valladolid vs Cádiz!
It’s a very impressive stadium that holds just over 27,000. It’ll be bouncing later!
It needs to be, @realvalladolid need to win badly in order to pull away from the bottom four!
