Project about football

1. THE FOOTBALL
Hi guys! I’m the trainer of a small football
club of IES Valle del Cidacos that consists
of
Claudia Arenzana, Marina Sota, Carla
Rangel and Natalia Hernández
They are going to explain you something
about this sport and they are going to
show you their opinions about it.

2. In the Ancient Greek they started to balancing the ball with their feet.
Can be it the beginning of this sport?
We say that the beginning of football took place in Montevideo,
Uruguay, the 14th May 1899.
We think that the football was an important discovery because , in our
opinion, is the most interesting sport. There are a lot of clubs and players.
In fact , in our opinion, in Spain we have got the two best teams in the
world, Real Madrid and F.C Barcelona, and there are many important
players like Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid C.F) and Lionel Messi (F.C
Barcelona), among others.
Do you think the same?

¿Do you know the origin of this sport?
How many teams are there now?

3. The football needs a
football pitch,
players and a ball.
The ball is one of the most important
elements of football because without ball
we can’t play.
The ball is usually made up of leather or
something like that with a perimeter of 68 to
70 cm (the diameter is between 21.65 and
22.29 cm). Its mass varies from 410 to 450 g.
The football teams are formed for 10 players, 1
goalie and 6 substitute players. The players can
have different positions:
-Forward player: responsible for scoring the
goal
Midfield player: defended and gets balls
-Defensive player: prevents the opponents goal
mark
-Goalie: responsive for defense the post
The length of a football pitch is usually
between 90 and 120 meters long, and its,
between 45 and 90 meters wide.
16,5 m
45-90 m
90-120 m
9,15 m
We think that the football is the easiest sport to play. Because you only
need a ball, some space and players, 3,4,5… It is the most played sport, in
the schools, in the street… We also think that is the sport which you see in
TV more. For that the football has got more followers than other sports.

4. The players that earn a lot of
many they use it to help poor
people.
We think that football has got a lot of
good things.
Join us.
It teaches us things like the
teamwork, the effort, the respect
for others...
But there are bad things too. Many
people when they are watching a football
match they get crazy and act like
animals.
We hit and even we kill
other people.
Insult us.

My cousin is 25 years and
since he was 5 years plays
football. He has played in
many teams and now he’s in
the Racing of Santander.
Besides of playing he has
studied to work when he
doesn’t play football.
This is an interview to my
cousin, Iñaki Saenz, that is
playing in the football team,
Racing of Santander.

6. The locomotor system is formed by the bones and the muscles. All bones form the skeleton. The contact zones
between the bones are called joints, for example ankle, knee, shoulder, hip, elbow… The bones are joined together
by the ligaments, which are strong cords, elastic and very resistant.
Muscles contract and relax to allow movement. Muscles are joined to the bones by some resistant cords called
tendons.
The most common football injuries are:
sprains: excessive stretching of the ligaments
fractures: broken bones
torn ligaments
dislocation: the bones go out from the joints
hematomas ...
The lesions can’t be avoided in the sport. But we
think that many lesions occur because the
players play very hard and they forget that is a
sport.
We are surprised because the players will heal
faster of lesions. We think that this is because
they have a good fitness.

7. Firstly we stretch our muscles
We do warm-up exercise
Some days we play short matches
Now I’m going to
show you a real
training.
We do different exercises Everyday we run for ten minutes with the ball We finish the training stretching our muscles again
We think that is necessary to do a good training for avoid possible lesions. Also
we should to follow a balanced diet. Because if we don’t eat well we will have
more lesions. In fact, it is necessary for all sports. My cousin says that before a
match the meal should be rich in carbohydrates and they have to eat 3 hours
before the match. In fact my cousin always eats the same before a match, pasta,
a chicken steak and fruit or a yogurt and drinks a lot of water. That boring!

8. The woman in the
football.
From the 1935, women began to participate in this sport, and every time being given
more importance. The female football has the same rules that the male football.
In Spain there is a female team, too. The only difference is that is not as famous as the
male team, like in other many sports. We think that is not fair because they can be as
good as the men. In addition, the female football's matches you can’t watch them in TV.
In our opinion in the football world there are a lot of maleness. Girls that are referees
are treated in a different way than boys. They are more insulted and some people
believe that they know less than a boy. But we think that girls can do it as well as boys.

9. Well, now we’re going to have fun
playing and explaining some
football’s rules.
