Form guide • Osmanlıspor have won all four of their European home games this season without conceding. • This is Osmanlıspor's first UEFA group stage campaign; they previously competed in Europe under the name Ankaraspor. • Villarreal are without a win in three European away fixtures (D1 L2). • UEFA Europa League semi-finalists last term, the Yellow Submarine have made it through to the round of 32 in all six of their previous UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League group stage forays. Links and trivia • The journey from Villarreal to Ankara is around 2,800km. • On matchday two, Villarreal's Bruno Soriano became the first player to reach 40 UEFA Europa League appearances for a single club. He had previously shared the record with Sporting CP goalkeeper Rui Patrício. • Villarreal's Cédric Bakambu knows Turkish football from his time at Bursaspor from 2014–15. • Osmanlıspor's Pierre Webó (Osasuna, Legánes, Mallorca), Tiago Pinto (Deportivo La Coruña, Santander) and Raul Rusescu (Sevilla) all have Spanish league experience. • Former team-mates: Cheick Diabaté (Osmanlıspor) & Alfred N'Diaye (Villarreal) – Nancy, 2009–10 Raul Rusescu (Osmalıspor) & Denis Cheryshev (Villarreal) – Sevilla, 2013–14 Raul Rusescu (Osmalıspor) & Mariano Barbosa (Villarreal) – Sevilla, 2014–15 • Villarreal's Nicola Sansone joined the youth department at Bayern München in 2002, the same year Osmanlıspor's Erdal Kılıçaslan made the step up to Bayern's reserve team.

  • Master's Degree
    Master’s Degree in Languages, Economics and Institutions of Asia and North Africa Final Thesis Football condition in China: the case of naturalized players Supervisor Ch. Prof. Renzo Riccardo Cavalieri Graduand Emanuele Salvati Matriculation number 868763 Academic Year 2019 / 2020 Abstract The focus of this thesis is the recent naturalization of foreign players in China, that led to the debut of the first football player without Chinese ancestry in the Chinese national team. The first chapter is an introduction to the naturalization in football in all its aspects. I will first clarify concepts such as nation, nationality, and citizenship. Then I will analyze the evolution of the regulations on eligibility, starting from the case of Italy in the thirties to arrive to the modern FIFA eligibility rules. In the second chapter, I will focus on the Chinese football condition. Starting with an overview of football history in the country, from the very first form of the game passing through the professionalization in the nineties to arrive at the recent years in which the Chinese Super League (CSL) developed very rapidly. The focus of the chapter is the relationship between Chinese authorities, football clubs and players and the reforms Chinese government is doing to reduce the gap with European football, trying to improve both CSL clubs and national team level. These reforms aim to turn China into a world elite competitor by 2050 mainly through promotion of football at the grassroots level and league development. The third chapter reviews the process of naturalization of foreign players that is now a widespread argument in the Chinese football circle, investigating reasons, advantages and drawbacks.

Amsterdam is famous for its international trade and it is fitting that the ERS Congress is held in a city that has reaped the benefits from an international outlook. It is imperative that we, as respiratory professionals, mirror this approach and work together as an international network to achieve our goal of promoting lung health and combating lung diseases. The scientific and educational programme promises to deliver a wealth of new material from all sections of respiratory health and disease. The Chairs of the Scientific and Education Councils, together with all the ERS officers, work on the programme throughout the year to ensure it delivers the very best results from the latest Professor Elisabeth Bel research, meeting the needs of respiratory professionals ERS PRESIDENT in all disciplines. This year we have taken the landmark decision to provide the congress scientific and educational programme in a digital format only. With the growth in digital platforms over the last ten years, there is no better time to provide our delegates with all the materials and tools needed in a digital format. Instead of a printed copy, the programme will be available on the Congress website where users can easily browse all the sessions, build their own personal itinerary, and download and print abstracts of interest.
