I’ve been lucky to be born in Spain to a good family. But some team-mates reached the same position from a tough background. Football is equal, and it doesn’t matter where you come from.
Juventus in Italy are like Real Madrid in Spain, when you enter the team it feels different.
I owe everything to Spain – that’s where I learned to write, to read, and to play football.
I’d first come to Chelsea from Kosice and, for me, that was a dream. It’s not easy making that move. I was maybe the first player to come from Slovakia to a club like Chelsea, who normally buy players from Holland, Spain, Italy, Portugal.
Spain held the doctrine (and was right in holding it) that every human enterprise should stand on two pillars – the temporal and the spiritual. To depend upon one of these pillars alone is to call down final failure upon any undertaking.
In my life, I’ve had estates in Russia, houses in Spain, in Norway, in the deep south of America.
I was the only one to go to university, and the last thing my dad wanted was for me to be an artist. But later on, when I bought him a house in the south of Spain, he thought it was all right then.
I like the south of Spain, notably for the Moorish influence and the weather.
Philip of Spain is a ruler who has forgotten that a ruler is there to serve the people.
Together, for over 50 years, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia have devoted themselves to Spain.
I got to work with Eli Vargas. Great guy. Huge in Spain. He’s a heartthrob there. Who else? Terry Crews – he was really funny.
Spain is facing an economic situation of extreme difficulty, I repeat, of extreme difficulty, and anyone who doesn’t understand that is fooling themselves.
The whole secret of the campaigns unleashed against Spain can be explained in two words: masonry and communism… we have to extirpate these two evils from our land.
I go to Spain a lot, in winter, for a blast of sunlight to banish the blues brought on by the Irish greys and drizzle. I love the cities of the Spanish interior.
When I retired, at that time I had a lot of proposals to play in Europe, England, Italy, Spain, Mexico. But I said no, after 18 years I want to rest, because I want to retire.
In Spain, we mainly use red plum tomatoes, but it is always fun to experiment. Try using a mix of colors or substitute green tomatoes for plum next time you make a tomato dish.
After ‘Heart Skips A Beat’ hit No.1, I barely had a chance to celebrate ‘cos it was straight over to the judges’ houses for the ‘Xtra Factor,’ filming in Greece, L.A. and Spain.
If all our comrades of Europe, America and other countries, who do not understand what we are doing to Spanish Anarchism, would come to Spain, we could then see how they would react.
After having a career in Spain for eight years, I went back to being anonymous again, having to prove myself to the industry and myself, to prove I was capable of acting in a different language. It was a good challenge, and I can’t complain.
I have a brother-in-law who lives in Spain.
Iran are very strong because we have many good players playing top-class football in Spain, Germany and England.
Once you pass by the high crests of the snow-capped Pyrenees and move to the wild shores of the very lowest tip of southwest France bordering Spain, you are in Basque country.
When I was in Spain, I remember United being eight points ahead of City with only six games but they still lost that title. So in the Premier League, anything can happen. You never know because anything can happen whether you are in front or behind the opponent.
I’ve worked a lot in Europe, particularly Spain, which I like very much.
I’m very happy at Chelsea but I would like to return to Spain one day.
Barcelona are my favourite team in Spain, let’s put it that way.
If Spain goes under, Italy will come under even more scrutiny.
I’ve said in the past that I’d like to play in Spain one day, because it is a league that is good technically and where you get a lot of touches on the ball, which is my style.
I love Villarreal. They are closer to my heart than any other club in Spain.
When I was nine years old, my father went to Spain to work for three years, and I was in Portugal. He has a sports store. I only saw him once a month, which was difficult. I was alone with my mother and my sister, who is younger than me.
I’ve done quite a few adverts. I’ve also done some presenting and acting work in Spain. I did a lot of Spanish education videos for people wanting to learn English.
I was right choosing to play with Spain. It is a pride; the decision was easy. I love Spain.
I absolutely would not have liked playing in Spain or somewhere like that, so I was just gonna do it a year. Then I was gonna be done.
I’ve always said that playing rugby in Spain is like being a bullfighter in Japan.
Spain and the United States share the same values of democracy, liberty and fundamental freedoms.
Play with Spain? I think that’s already closed, but even so, I opt for France because I’m French. I don’t have dual citizenship, and I’m not going to ask for it.
My fondest memories are of being hidden away in Scotland or Spain writing and working on songs for Wings.
When I came to Spain, I joined a tennis academy, and that was where I learnt the game.
In Spain, we should have enough intelligence, enough sense of individual and collective responsibility to do for ourselves that which would be imposed upon us by a dictatorship.
I remember, my mom, she’s lived in Spain for about thirty years, and we were playing the Royal Albert Hall, and she was with some friends from New York. Morrissey came out with the sign ‘The Queen is Dead,’ and my mom’s friends are like, ‘Oh my God.’ They took it literally.
I have been in Spain a lot of years and I have a lot of love for the country.
With respect to the world of football, I earn a normal wage. But compared to 99.9% of Spain and the rest of the world, I earn an obscene amount.
When you face Spain it’s not a normal friendly.
Puerto Rico is the perfect meeting place between Spain, the country I come from, and America, the country where I now belong. The meeting point of two worlds where magic can happen.
One of the places I’d like to travel to is Ibiza, off the coast of Spain.
The Philippines is a terrible name, coming from Spain. Phillip II was the father of the inquisition, who I believe died of syphilis. It is my great regret that we didn’t change the name of our country.
Busquets has been a great player for Spain and Barcelona, don’t get me wrong. He’s a very effective player and is the first pick for every manager because he plays such a simple game. But we laud him as a genius, whereas our own we don’t, we criticise.
I’m comfortable with Spain and with Barcelona.
Serie A is a great league, just like in Spain or England, so if one day if I were to leave Paris, I would evaluate and see what to do.
Coming in solemn beauty like slow old tunes of Spain.
Yesterday, the president met with a group he calls the coalition of the willing. Or, as the rest of the world calls them, Britain and Spain.
Spain is an example of how hard it is for a conservative party to campaign for elections if the suspicion is fueled that it wants to go into a coalition with the extreme right.
I don’t have family in Mexico. Nothing. I’m just from Spain.
The goatherds were the poorest people of Spain. Probably, they were the richest.
English football is different to Italy and Spain. You don’t have that much time to calm down or relax because, all the time, the ball is on fire.
We used to watch a lot of EuroLeague and ACB, which are the two leagues back home in Spain. And we used to dream about playing for those teams one day.
Spain are certainly one of the best teams in the world.
I haven’t changed. My family and I live as we did in South Spain. I’ve had loud music, chickens, birds, and a bull in my backyard.
I live between Barcelona and Berlin. Staying in Spain over the winter and Berlin for spring and summer is an ideal combination.
I have been with President Trump as he has spoken with leaders from countries on six continents, including Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Kenya, Pakistan, Paraguay, Philippines, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom and many more.
‘Apartamento,’ a magazine out of Spain but written in English, is one of my favorite magazines.
The big difference between league football in England and Spain is that more teams compete here. In Spain, it is usually only two teams going for the title, which is not necessarily a bad thing because you get great matches between the two, but I think the English league is better for being more competitive.
I arrived in Spain at three years old when my dad played in Valencia. Then we spent a lot of time in Vigo in the northwest part of Spain.
In Italy there’s perhaps a little less space than in Spain, but there’s certainly as much sunshine.
You can play basketball and have a magic night and score 40 points with your team-mates and win the game. There are favourites for the World Cup, but you can’t guarantee Germany, Spain, or Brazil will win, but here, everyone can guarantee that Mercedes or Ferrari will win the race, and this is very sad for the sport.
