Olympique Lyonnais V PSV Eindhoven MATCH PRESS KIT Gerland, Lyon Wednesday, 8 March 2006 - 20:45 CET First Knockout Round - Matchday 8 Olympique Lyonnais v PSV Eindhoven MATCH PRESS KIT Gerland, Lyon Wednesday, 8 March 2006 - 20:45 CET First knockout round - Matchday 8 Olympique Lyonnais believe strongly in their chances of reaching the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals after Juninho Pernambucano©s second-half free-kick sealed a 1-0 victory against PSV Eindhoven in the Philips Stadion. Govou out ·The winner was a triumph for one Brazilian at the expense of another, Juninho©s compatriot Heurelho Gomes being deceived by the swerving drive. However, joy for the French champions was tempered by the knowledge that they will be without striker Sidney Govou for the home leg after he was dismissed for a second yellow card. Some revenge · The win gave Gérard Houllier©s team a measure of revenge for their defeat by PSV in a thrilling UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie 12 months ago. The Dutch side prevailed on penalties ± and advanced to the semi-finals where AC Milan defeated them on away goals after a 3-3 aggregate draw - with Lyon©s Michael Essien and Eric Abidal missing from the spot to enable PSV to seal a 4-2 win. It was the first occasion a knockout game in the competition - other than the final - had gone to a shoot-out. · Both games had finished 1-1 with Lyon ahead on each occasion before PSV pegged them back. Florent Malouda in the Stade Gerland and Sylvain Wiltord two weeks later, had tipped the odds in the French side©s favour but their opponents showed their fighting qualities on each occasion as Phillip Cocu and Alex fired second-half equalisers. Solid at home · Lyon are not in the habit of slipping up at home. Since AFC Ajax beat them 2-0 in October 2002 they have staged 13 home games in the UEFA Champions League, winning nine and drawing four. · Victories in all their games in the Stade Gerland in this campaign helped Lyon edge out Real Madrid CF to finish top of Group F, dropping just two points in six games. In their sixth UEFA Champions League campaign, Lyon began with a memorable 3-0 home success against the Spanish side and drew 1-1 in the Spanish capital. Norwegian international John Carew scored in both those games and has a total of four goals, the same mark as Juninho after his Eindhoven strike. Going Dutch · The French team have welcomed Dutch opposition ± three different sides - on three previous occasions in the UEFA Champions League. A win against SC Heerenveen and a defeat by AFC Ajax preceded the draw last season with PSV. PSV leave it late · To reach this stage in their tenth UEFA Champions League campaign, Guus Hiddink©s team had to win their final game in Group E and a 2-0 victory against Fenerbahçe SK earned them second place behind AC Milan. Scoreless run · The Dutch side©s goal in Lyon in the quarter-final tie 12 months ago was their last away from home in the competition. Since then they have had four games on the road, losing three and drawing one and in none of them were they able to find the net. Unbeaten in France · PSV are unbeaten on their last five visits to France which includes four draws and a win at AS Monaco FC in last season©s first knockout round though that is their solitary success in 12 fixtures. They took a long time making their mark in that country, failing to score a goal in their first four attempts. Last Updated 8.3.2006 16:47:38CET uefa.com 1 Olympique Lyonnais v PSV Eindhoven MATCH PRESS KIT Success at this stage · The first knockout round has proved fertile territory for both sides ± albeit that for the Dutch champions this is only the second time they have reached this stage. Last season PSV put paid to Monaco 3-0 overall, winning 1-0 at home with Alex on target while the 2-0 away win came courtesy of Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink and DaMarcus Beasley. · At the same time, Lyon defeated Werder Bremen 10-2 on aggregate, posting a 3-0 success in Germany before winning 7-2 at home. Sylvain Wiltord©s hat-trick in that game added to his goal in the away leg. At the same stage in the previous season Lyon had enjoyed matching 1-0 wins against Real Sociedad de Fútbol before bowing out to eventual winners FC Porto. Knockout format · Clubs play two matches against each other on a home and away basis, with the team scoring the greater aggregate of goals qualifying for the next round. In the event of both teams scoring the same number of goals, the team which scores more goals away qualifies. If this proves inconclusive, extra time of two periods of 15 minutes is played after the second match. If during extra time both teams score the same number of goals, the away goals count double (ie. the visiting team advances). If no goals are scored during extra time, the winner is decided by penalty kicks. Match facts · Before his half-time substitution on Matchday 7, Cris had been the only Lyon player to have played every minute of their UEFA Champions League games this season. · John Carew and Sylvain Wiltord have also featured in each of the seven games this season. · Carew is one match away from his 50th appearance in the UEFA Champions League. · Grégory Coupet is three away from his half-century of games in Europe©s premier club competition. · In terms of UEFA club competition appearances, recent recruit Patrick Müller played his 50th game on Matchday 7 while Carew made it 75. · Sidney Govou needs four more appearances for his 50th in UEFA club competition. · Hatem Ben Arfa turns 19 the day before the visit of PSV on Matchday 8 while Sylvain Monsoreau will be 25 on 20 March. · Carew is joint third in the list of UEFA Champions League top scorers this season with four goals. Andriy Shevchenko leads the way with seven. · Carew is second to Shevchenko in terms of shots on goal with 13 to the Ukraine striker©s 18. Carew has also had 12 shots wide. · Juninho is joint second in the list of the most creative players in this UEFA Champions League, having provided three goals for team-mates. Johan Micoud leads the way of players left in the competition with four. · UEFA Champions League defences have found Florent Malouda hard to deal with as he has been fouled 24 times in this season©s competition. José Antonio Reyes (29) has suffered the most. · Lyon©s 4-1 home defeat at the hands of Stade Rennais FC on 25 February was the club©s heaviest in all competitions since May 2003 and was described by president Jean-Michel Aulas as "our biggest setback in five years." Last Updated 8.3.2006 16:47:38CET uefa.com 2 Olympique Lyonnais v PSV Eindhoven MATCH PRESS KIT · In the 3-1 win at AC Ajaccio on Saturday, Juninho scored his 26th free-kick for Lyon and his 62nd goal in total. The Brazilian playmaker has found the net in Lyon©s last four matches. · Lyon last lost away from home in a competitive fixture over 90 minutes on 4 March 2005, with SM Caen securing a 1-0 win. · Govou is one of six players suspended for Matchday 8 having been sent off in the first leg with PSV. · Brazilian Fred is Lyon©s most prolific striker at the Gerland with six goals. The French team©s two top scorers, Carew (ten goals) and Wiltord (12) have scored one and four goals respectively on home soil. · Lyon©s three uninjured Brazilians appeared in the international friendly against Russia last Wednesday, all as substitutes. Cris replaced Juan at half-time, while Fred and Juninho both came on during the second half as the South American side won 1-0 at the Lokomotiv stadium in Moscow in freezing temperatures. · Swiss defender Müller, Portuguese midfielder Tiago and Norwegian striker Carew all remained in France during international week. Müller and Tiago were both injured, while Carew missed his country©s trip to Senegal having not had the correct vaccinations. · Lyon right-back François Clerc was called up to the France squad for the friendly international with Slovakia having played only 16 times in Ligue 1. "He©s simply the best right-back at the moment and deserved a call-up," said France coach Raymond Domenech, although Clerc failed to appear in France©s 2-1 defeat. · Five Lyon players were included in Domenech©s squad for the game - Coupet, Clerc, Eric Abidal, Malouda and Wiltord. None started the game, however, although Abidal, Malouda and Wiltord all came on with the latter scoring France©s consolation goal in a 2-1 defeat from the penalty spot in the 73rd minute. · Full-back Jérémy Berthod and midfielder Jérémy Clément took part in France©s 2-1 Under-21 friendly victory in Toulon against Slovakia on 28 February. · Ben Arfa was part of the French U19 national side which won 2-0 against Ukraine in a friendly international in Montélimar on 1 March. · French newspaper L©Equipe©s weekly magazine has elected Lyon©s fans as the best in France ahead of AS Saint-Etienne, Olympique de Marseille and RC Lens. "Lyon©s fans have mirrored their team©s improvement in the last year," the magazine said. "Formerly reserved, they have learned to jump and sing in the four stands of Gerland." · Goalkeeper Coupet has revealed he prepares for each game by listening to American rock band Linkin Park.

  • Lak Aan Het Kampioenschap (Tuesday, 10 April 2007) - Written by Peter Van De Rijt
    Lak aan het kampioenschap (Tuesday, 10 April 2007) - Written by Peter van de Rijt Dus Ajax pakt de titel, dachten we allemaal na zaterdagavond. Maar nauwelijks een etmaal later is PSV nog altijd koploper en Ajax zelfs een plaatsje gezakt, ten faveure van AZ. Spelers lijken in Eindhoven en Amsterdam lak te hebben aan het kampioenschap. Dan maar feestvieren op de Kaasmarkt? “Je bent Ajaxspeler en zit gekluisterd aan je radio, waar je naar Langs de Lijn luistert. Dan hoor je dat PSV volledig onder de voet wordt gelopen bij NEC in Nijmegen. Plotseling realiseer je jezelf dat je de volgende middag bij het nietige RKC de koppositie kan overnemen van de Eindhovenaren. Je ziet in een flits dat je met het vrij eenvoudige programma dat nog op je wacht, je binnen een paar weken LANDSKAMPIOEN kan worden. Je club plaatst zich zonder die riskante play- offs voor de Champions League en het daarmee samenhangende miljoenenbal – de beleidsdrijfveer van algemeen directeur Maarten Fontein - zodat in één klap de rode cijfers iets positiever gaan kleuren. Zacht roze worden ze opeens in de ogen van financieel directeur Jeroen Slop. En na een korte nacht ga je richting Waalwijk. Niets kan en zal je van die oh zo begeerde koppositie afhouden. Je steeds enthousiaster wordende Ajax-aanhang in het stadion zal die middag eindelijk iets terugkrijgen voor alle teleurstellingen van de laatste jaren. En voor je het weet is het kwart over vier. Je ben slechts een punt rijker en niets koppositie, ergo, je bent ook nog eens je tweede plek kwijtgeraakt aan AZ.

  • BMO Management Strategies of Football Clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie
    BSc-Thesis – BMO Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie Name Student: Mylan Pouwels Registration Number: 991110669120 University: Wageningen University & Research (WUR) Study: BBC (Business) Thesis Mentor: Jos Bijman Date: 1-23-2020 Chair Group: BMO Course Code: YSS-81812 Foreword From an early age I already like football. I like it to play football by myself, to watch it on television, but also to read articles about football. The opportunity to combine my love for football with a scientific research for my Bachelor Thesis, could not be better for me. During an orientating conversation about the topic for my Bachelor Thesis with my thesis mentor Jos Bijman, I mentioned that I was always interested in the management strategies of organizations. What kind of choices an organization makes, what kind of resources an organization uses, what an organization wants to achieve and its performances. Following closely this process in large organizations is something I like to do in my leisure time. My thesis mentor Jos Bijman asked for my hobbies and he mentioned that there was a possibility to combine my interests in the management strategies of organizations with my main hobby football. In this way the topic Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie was created. The Bachelor Thesis Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie is executed in a qualitative research, using a literature study. This Thesis is written in the context of my graduation of the study Business-and Consumer Studies (specialization Business) at the Wageningen University and Research. From October 28 2019 until January 23 I have been working on the research and writing of my Thesis.

  • Uefa.Com Team of the Year 2006
    Media Release Date: 06/12/2006 Communiqué aux médias No. 139 Medien-Mitteilung uefa.com Team of the Year 2006 Fans can vote online until 4 January 2007 Voting opens today for the uefa.com users’ Team of the Year 2006. The poll, now in its sixth year, gives the users of uefa.com, Europe’s football website, the chance to select a team of players who made their mark in European football over the last 12 months. Sixty players and managers have been nominated for 12 positions, including coach, and the final team will be announced on 19 January 2007 on uefa.com and in the January issue of Champions magazine.

The uefa.com Team of the Year is not intended as a rival to more established awards, and does not bear the official UEFA imprimatur. Nevertheless, it has already proved hugely popular with fans, and over eight million votes have been cast in previous polls. European champions FC Barcelona have the most nominees with eleven, while UEFA Champions League runners-up Arsenal have seven.

  • Title in Arial Bold 22 Pt TECHNICAL REPORT
    TECHNICAL REPORT 2008/09 Title in Arial bold 22 pt Subtitle in Arial regular 14 pt ENGLISH SECTION PARTIE FRANÇAISE DEUTSCHER TEIL STATISTICS PHOTO: POTTS / PA WIRE / PA IMAGES TECHNICAL REPOrt This report has been published as a record of the 2008/09 UEFA Champions League, which was the competition’s seventeenth season. In addition to the factual and statistical data that make it a valuable reference work, it contains analysis, reflections and debating points which, it is hoped, will give technicians food for thought and, by highlighting tendencies and trends at the peak of professional football, also offer coaches who are active at the development levels of the game information that may be helpful in terms of working on the qualities which will be needed by the UEFA Champions League performers of the future. Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand can only watch as Lionel Messi jumps just far enough upwards and backwards to deliver the looping header which put FC Barcelona 2-0 up in the 70th minute of the final in Rome. THE ROADS THAT LED TO ROME Distance is meant to lend perspective, but it can also blur the vision. The fact that the neutrals who, when the group stage kicked off in September, predicted a Manchester United v Barcelona final were watching it just over eight months later gives the impression that the 124-match pilgrimage to Rome had been a relentless march towards a foregone conclusion. That was by no means the case. It is easy to forget that FC Barcelona won only half of their home games, or that they were being counted out during the final seconds of their heavyweight semi-final contest with Chelsea – only for Andrés Iniesta to produce the stunning drive which earned a trip to Rome.
