    The Downfall of Real Madrid Side-lining Keylor Navas Because of his sharp reflexes he was key player on their more triumphant campaigns. The unjustifiable reason behind him being on the bench is that they are persistent on giving Thibaut Courtois more and more second chances, despite his failure to replicate Keylor Navas' key saves and lead Real Madrid to the silverware that is needed to bring the team back to what it once was. 1. The Constant Search For a Striker That Fits Despite buying who was arguably the Premier League’s best striker, Eden Hazard, they cannot find a striker that fits or replaces, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, Ronaldo. The replacement, Hazard, has been dubbed the second worst Galactico by Marca, after the biggest flop in history, Michael Owen. 2. Confidence With the departure of Ronaldo and Zidane prior to last season the team’s morale has gone down and the once great team has started to look fragile. Then the moment that all Real Madrid fans were waiting for happened. Zidane came back but now with the lack of budget to go into depth after the signing of the flop Eden Hazard means that the deluded men behind Los Blanco’s think that Zidane, one of the most successful mangers in the history of football should leave the club as they have nothing else to blame it on So, what does everybody have to say about it? • 'Success made us lose our intensity': Real Madrid president Florentino Perez claims their own triumphs is the reason behind the current downfall • And without any European success this season and the last have been.

  • Análise De Centralidade Da Equipe Do Real Madrid Nos Jogos Decisivos Da Uefa Champions League 2015-2016
    Simpósio de Engenharia de Produção Universidade Federal de Goiás – Regional Catalão 09 a 11 de agosto, Catalão, Goiás, Brasil ANÁLISE DE CENTRALIDADE DA EQUIPE DO REAL MADRID NOS JOGOS DECISIVOS DA UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2015-2016 Fernando Paes Barreto Machado, UFF, [email protected] Eduardo Uchoa Barboza, UFF, [email protected] Resumo: O futebol se tornou muito mais que um esporte e, hoje, figura como um dos maiores mercados em termos de movimentação financeira em todo mundo. A Europa continua sendo o principal palco das competições que mais atraem investimentos e público. Neste universo, indicadores e estatísticas são cada vez mais utilizados para nortear a tomada de decisões. Apesar do volume de informações existentes, pouco se discute a respeito da centralidade dos jogadores para a equipe. Dessa forma, este artigo visa compreender melhor, por meio de análises, a centralidade da equipe do Real Madrid nos jogos decisivos da UEFA Champions League 2015- 2016. Para isso, foram coletadas, no site da UEFA, as Redes de Passes dos sete jogos que são escopo deste estudo, ou seja, das oitavas até a final. Por meio do software UCINET, essas matrizes foram simetrizadas e, posteriormente, analisadas segundo três medidas de centralidade: grau, autovetor e intermediação de fluxo. Palavras-chave: Teoria dos Grafos, Centralidade, Futebol 1. INTRODUÇÃO O mercado do futebol vem consolidando ao longo dos últimos anos sua capacidade de movimentar um grande volume de recursos financeiros, principalmente no que se refere à propaganda e transferências de jogadores (PLUMLEY e FLINT, 2015). Apesar do crescimento do mercado americano, chinês e do Oriente Médio, a Europa continua sendo o destino dos principais jogadores e palco dos campeonatos mais valiosos.

    El Partido contra la Pobreza del PNUD recauda 370 000 euros para los esfuerzos de recuperación tras el Ebola Ginebra / St-Etienne 26 de mayo de 2015 – el XII Partido contra la Pobreza disputado el pasado mes de abril en St. Etienne (Francia) que acogió a 33.913 espectadores, recaudó 370 000 euros para ayudar a las naciones de África Occidental a recuperarse de la crisis del virus del Ébola. Así se ha anunciado tras reunir todos los ingresos obtenidos de la venta de billetes, los derechos de difusión y el patrocinio del evento del 20 de abril. Dos terceras partes de la recaudación se destinarán a ayudar a los esfuerzos de recuperación de los países más afectados por la epidemia —Guinea, Liberia y Sierra Leona— mientras que la Asociación del club, ASSE Coeur-Vert, que impulsa proyectos sociales en Saint-Etienne, recibirá el tercio restante. "Con el trabajo en equipo y la solidaridad, el poder del juego global puede ayudar al esfuerzo por combatir una de las enfermedades más devastadoras de los últimos tiempos” dijo Gina Casar, Secretaria General Adjunta y Administradora Asociada del PNUD. “Los países afectados siguen necesitando el apoyo de la comunidad internacional para llegar a cero casos de Ébola, mantenerlos al cero y avanzar en el camino a la recuperación ”. Más de 20.000 personas han perdido la vida por esta enfermedad mortal y el brote ha causado una extensa crisis socio-económica de proporciones sin precedentes, con un riesgo real de que los progresos económicos y sociales alcanzados en los tres países pudieran frenarse o incluso invertirse.

  • Uefa.Com Users' Team of the Year 2007 Revealed
    Media Release Date: 18/01/2008 Communiqué aux médias No. 006 Medien-Mitteilung uefa.com users’ Team of the Year 2007 revealed AC Milan players rewarded in poll The uefa.com users’ Team of 2007 has been announced, with UEFA Champions League winners AC Milan having the most players in this year’s selection. Over 3.75 million votes were cast by 277,985 individual uefa.com users in the poll. The dream dozen contains just two survivors from last year’s team along with five newcomers. Milan’s trio includes central defender Alessandro Nesta, who was also selected in 2002, 2003 and 2004, and left midfield player Clarence Seedorf, who also appeared in the 2002 team. Colleague Kaká with 220,333 votes received the highest number of votes overall and is selected for a second successive year, this time as attacking midfielder. Also surviving from last year’s team is Steven Gerrard, who is selected for a third time, and is the only player from beaten UEFA Champions League finalists Liverpool FC to feature. English clubs are to the fore, though, with John Terry – selected in 2005 – and newcomer Didier Drogba from Chelsea FC joined by Cristiano Ronaldo, whose previous selection came in 2004. His Manchester United FC coach Sir Alex Ferguson is perhaps belatedly selected for the first time, recognition of his achievement in guiding his team a ninth Premier League title under his stewardship. Another somewhat belated newcomer is Real Madrid CF goalkeeper Iker Casillas, while Sevilla FC right-back Daniel Alves, FC Barcelona left-back Eric Abidal and FC Internazionale Milano striker Zlatan Ibrahimović are also selected for the first time.

"We don't have any secrets, we just have a clear vision about how to develop football," he told Xinhua on Wednesday. "We have a vision on the game of football, the organization of youth leagues, on coach education, on player development and on team development. Very few countries have a real vision on football. That's why we are ahead of a lot of other countries." "We are good because of the structure and because of the way we think as a country. We always stick to our plan in developing football. From the Under 15 team to the Under 21's. The aim of the game must always be winning, even for the Under 8 kids," Van Zwam explained.

Previous meetings • The sides' only fixtures before Matchday 1 came in the 2015/16 group stage, Madrid winning 4-0 at home and 4-3 away. Karim Benzema opened the scoring at the Santiago Bernabéu, with Modrić and Dani Carvajal both on target in Lviv; Madrid's other five goals across the two games all came from Cristiano Ronaldo, Dentinho scoring one of Shakhtar's goals.
