Bayern kick-off the sec- ond-half of the season at Hamburg with an eight point lead in the table and if things continue Guardiola will end the Bundesliga sea- son on May 14 with the Bavarians having become the first club to win the German league title four times in a row. But his tenure will be judged by whether he repeats the 2013 treble of Champions League, German League and Bundesliga titles, achieved by his predecessor Jupp Heynckes. For the last two seasons under Guardiola, Bayern has exited the Champions League at the semi-final stage and they are des- perate to at least reach this year’s final in Milan on May 28, then win the title. “Our goal is to play successful football. For us, that means having three titles at the end of the season. But we know that will be difficult,” said Bayern’s captain Philipp Lahm as they prepare to face Juventus in the last 16 of Europe next month.

Valencia held Hitzfeld says Guardiola must pay attention to discipline within the Bayern squad, especially after they developed a habit of losing matches in the previous seasons once the league title was won. But the veteran coach is convinced Guardiola will achieve his goal. “He won’t rest, because his big goal is to say goodbye with suc- by Las Palmas cess,” added Hitzfeld, with ‘success’, in this context, meaning the European title. Guardiola knows only the treble-or at least the European crown for the sixth time in the club’s history-will truly quench the Bavarians’ thirst for silverware after ‘only’ winning the Sevilla see off second division Mirandes 2-0 Bundesliga title last season and achieving the league and cup double in 2014. “I know that people want us to win the MADRID: Valencia’s struggles under new coach Gary Neville contin- who are 16th in La Liga. “We’ll try to make the most of it in the Champions League and if we don’t manage it, we will have failed,” ued when they had to come from behind to rescue a 1-1 draw in return and being able to keep the tie alive was very important for said the 45-year-old, who will be succeeded by Carlo Ancelotti their King’s Cup quarter-final first leg at home to Las Palmas on us,” added the 40-year-old former Spain international who was in next season.

    TEMPORADA 2000/2001 PRESENTACIÓN Es imprescindible que empiece la presentación de esta memoria correspondiente a la tempora- da 2000 / 2001 con un emocionado recuerdo a D. Antonio Baró Armengol, a cuyo cargo estuvo el mando del fútbol profesional español en estos últimos catorce años, en los cuales hemos vivido un extraordinario desarrollo de nuestra actividad y hemos asistido al éxito de nuestros clubes y S.A.D. en el concierto internacional. Su talante comprensivo y negociador han marcado una lí- nea a la que no podemos ni queremos renunciar, siempre con el reto de mejorar las condiciones en las que se desenvuelve nuestra función. La sucesión de Antonio Baró significa- ba, también, un momento decisivo para la Liga Nacional de Fútbol Pro- fesional que no había vivido ningunas elecciones a lo largo de su historia. Se trataba de mantener la unidad entre todos los clubes y dar un paso al fren- te hacia los nuevos tiempos, con una organización avanzada, eficaz y preparada para dejar oír su voz en los nuevos escenarios que se plantean en el nuevo siglo. Por ello, la mayoría de nuestros clubes y S.A.D. apostaron por una presidencia profesional y a plena dedicación que supone todo un reto personal y una gran ilusión para mí y para mi equipo. Con ese orgullo y esa ilusión nos hemos puesto a trabajar inmediatamente porque el tiempo apre- mia y la LFP quiere seguir siendo el referente del fútbol profesional europeo, una cotización que 4 nos hemos ganado a pulso en estos últimos años, tión, de manera que ninguna amenaza enturbie tanto en el terreno de juego como en los campos el trabajo bien hecho.

SAMBA JOY VERSUS STRUCTURAL PRECISION THE SOCCER CASE STUDIES OF BRAZIL AND GERMANY Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Susan P. Milby, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin Adelman, Adviser Professor William J. Morgan Professor Sarah Fields _______________________________ Adviser College of Education Graduate Program Copyright by Susan P. Milby 2006 ABSTRACT Soccer playing style has not been addressed in detail in the academic literature, as playing style has often been dismissed as the aesthetic element of the game. Brief mention of playing style is considered when discussing national identity and gender. Through a literature research methodology and detailed study of game situations, this dissertation addresses a definitive definition of playing style and details the cultural elements that influence it. A case study analysis of German and Brazilian soccer exemplifies how cultural elements shape, influence, and intersect with playing style. Eight signature elements of playing style are determined: tactics, technique, body image, concept of soccer, values, tradition, ecological and a miscellaneous category. Each of these elements is then extrapolated for Germany and Brazil, setting up a comparative binary. Literature analysis further reinforces this contrasting comparison. Both history of the country and the sport history of the country are necessary determinants when considering style, as style must be historically situated when being discussed in order to avoid stereotypification. Historic time lines of significant German and Brazilian style changes are determined and interpretated.
