| The national football team coach, Vicente del Bosque, took part in a training day organised in Valencia by the Municipal Sports Foundation of the City Hall. This consisted of a talk to the coaches of the city's football clubs on sports training and the importance of its values in education: a world where the national coach said he was "very comfortable, I learnt a lot when working with the football academy".
The Municipal Sports Foundation and Valencia City Council played hosts to an interesting and entertaining talk in which the national team coach, Vicente del Bosque, accompanied by experts and trainers from municipal schools, as well as coaches interested in football training. "Aspects of training and education. Experience of youth football" was the title on which the debate issues were focused in a year when Valencia is celebrating its position as European Capital of Sport 2011. For this reason a baton was passed on to him as a symbol of his position as Ambassador of Valencia 2011 together with a printed reproduction of the Antonio de Felipe's official poster.
The national coach began by revealing his first vocation: "I thought that I was going to devote all my life to the youth team. I was sure. In that third stage of my sporting life in Real Madrid I learnt a lot. My main task was to educate. The world has changed a lot and now we are immersed in the world of professional football". "We were all born in a nursery. I have experienced youth football, I know it well … How young boys function, the parents, trainers… And all this has had repercussions on the good times that Spanish football is enjoying today", commented the coach from Salamanca.
