The prestige of the Catalan school and the meticulous organization of the English professional championships have created a virtuous circle that has led dozens of footballers, coaches, and executives from Catalonia to clubs in Great Britain, which have traditionally been unreceptive to outside influences. From European champions to lower-division players, as well as renowned coaches, everyone details their experiences in this work. The authors guide the reader on a journey from north to south and east to west across England to meet these \"migrants of the ball\" and discover, through their eyes, how the English league has become the most prestigious in world football. At the same time, they explore cities and landscapes and recover surprising names and stories to trace, in the style of a small travel guide, a social and cultural portrait of the country that codified modern football.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe influence of the Catalan football school on the English Premier League.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe personal and professional experiences of Catalan footballers, coaches, and executives in British football.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eA geographical and cultural tour of England through its cities and stadiums.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAn analysis of the Premier League's success model and its global appeal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe social and cultural history of English football and its relationship with foreign influences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is recommended for football fans interested in the history and culture of the sport, followers of FC Barcelona and the Premier League, readers who enjoy travel narratives with a sporting backdrop, and anyone who wants to understand how the Catalan school has left an indelible mark on English football.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this book offers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eA unique perspective on the migration of Catalan footballing talent to England, with direct testimonials from its protagonists.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eA detailed analysis of the keys to the Premier League's success and its relationship with the Catalan training model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eA narrative journey that combines sport with the cultural and geographical exploration of England.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSurprising and little-known stories that enrich the understanding of football as a global phenomenon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAn enjoyable read that functions as both a sports chronicle and a travel guide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor: CASTELLS, ALEX; SUNYER, JORDI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Eumo Editorial SAU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage: cat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSubject: FOOTBALL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCollection: FORA DE JOC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDate of publication: March 2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of pages: 208\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 455 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEditorial Review\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe Are The Catalans is a work that transcends mere sports analysis to delve into the social and cultural chronicle of a footballing diaspora.
