Prepara, apunta, dispara...fusila al portero. La metáfora bélica en el fútbol.

Abstract

The warfare metaphor used in football refers to those terms that have their primary meaning in the semantic field of the militia, and later, through a meaning transfer, they acquire a particular sense in the football milieu. It occurs in various fields such as radio, television, printed press and colloquial speech. In this sense, two literary texts contribute to perform a meaning transfer of war in the battlefield to "war in the game field". Here this is addressed as a cultural mass phenomenon that can influence habits and identity.
