Previous meetings • Lazio have had the better of the sides' four European meetings (W2 D1 L1), all in the UEFA Champions League group stage. Sven-Göran Eriksson's Lazio got the better of Ivan Hašek's Sparta home and away in the 2000/01 competition, but in 2003/04 Jiří Kotrba's Sparta held Roberto Mancini's Lazio to a 2-2 draw in Rome and then beat them 1-0 in Prague. • Those four games represent Lazio's only experience of Czech opponents. • Sparta's record in 22 European encounters with Italian teams is W3 D9 L10 (W3 D6 L2 in Prague – W0 D3 L8 in Italy). They are unbeaten in their last four home matches with Serie A clubs (W2 D2). Form guide • Sparta are unbeaten in ten UEFA Europa League fixtures (W6 D4) since entering this season's competition in the play-offs, and are currently on a four-game winning streak in Europe, keeping clean sheets in three of those matches. • Lazio too have not lost a UEFA Europa League fixture since the start of the group stage (W5 D3 – W1 D3 away), though they have kept just one clean sheet during that sequence. • Sparta made it to the round of 32 in 2012/13, losing to Chelsea FC. They reached the UEFA Cup quarter-finals in 1983/84 – their best campaign in this competition. • Lazio last contested the round of 16 in 2012/13, when they beat VfB Stuttgart en route to a last-eight loss to Fenerbahçe SK. In their most successful campaign in this competition, they went down 3-0 against FC Internazionale Milano in the 1998 UEFA Cup final. Trivia and links • The journey from Rome to Prague is around 900km. • Lazio goalkeeper Etrit Berisha turns 27 the day of the first leg against Sparta. • Lazio defender Senad Lulić can make his 50th UEFA club competition appearance in the first leg. • Sparta have been penalised for 152 fouls from the group stage onwards – 18 more than any other side in this season's competition. They have also received the most yellow cards (24) after eight matchdays. • Sparta defender Ondřej Mazuch was part of the FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk squad that graced the UEFA Europa League final last term, though he did not play in the 3-2 final reverse to Sevilla FC. • Lazio's Lucas Biglia played alongside Mazuch (2009–11) and Lukáš Mareček (2010–13) at RSC Anderlecht. • Mazuch also has Serie A experience, the defender having been an ACF Fiorentina player from 2007–09, though he made just two league outings for the Viola. • Notable players who represented both clubs include Pavel Nedvěd (Sparta 1992–96, Lazio 1996–2001) and Karel Poborský (Lazio 2000–01, Sparta 2002–05). The coaches • Experienced trainer Zdeněk Ščasný, 58, took over at Sparta last April. Once a defender-cum-midfielder, he won Czechoslovakian titles with FK Dukla Praha and Sparta. As a coach, he steered Sparta to two championships in the 1990s and has also managed in Greece and Hungary. • A central defender with Juventus and Fiorentina among others, Stefano Pioli was appointed by Lazio in June 2014. The 50-year-old has coached in Italy's top two divisions since 2003, his clubs including home-town side Parma FC, AC Chievo Verona and most recently Bologna FC. 4 AC Sparta Praha - SS Lazio Thursday 10 March 2016 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Stadion Letná, Prague Team facts AC Sparta Praha Formed: 1893 Nickname: Železná Sparta (Iron Sparta) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • none Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 36 (2014) Czech Cups: 20 (2014) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2013/14: second qualifying round 2012/13: round of 32 2011/12: play-offs 2010/11: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2009/10: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2008/09: first round (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2007/08: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2006/07: group stage 2005/06: UEFA Champions League group stage Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 10-0: Sparta v Anorthosis Famagusta FC 16/09/64, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup preliminary round first leg • Biggest away win 0-6: Anorthosis Famagusta FC v Sparta 20/09/64, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup preliminary round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 1-5: Sparta v FC Steaua Bucureşti 07/09/88, European Champion Clubs' Cup first round first leg • Heaviest away defeat 5-0 on three occasions, most recently v Olympique Lyonnais 08/12/04, UEFA Champions League group stage UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 5-0: Sparta v FK Sarajevo 28/07/11, third qualifying round first leg • Biggest away win 0-3 twice, most recently v FC Krasnodar 25/02/16, round of 16 second leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-3: Sparta v FC København 16/12/09, group stage • Heaviest away defeat 4-0: Neuchâtel Xamax FC v Sparta 15/09/81 first round first leg SS Lazio Formed: 1900 Nickname: Biancocelesti (White and Sky Blues) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (1): 1999 • UEFA Cup: (1998) 5 AC Sparta Praha - SS Lazio Thursday 10 March 2016 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Stadion Letná, Prague • UEFA Super Cup (1): 1999 Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 2 (2000) Italian Cup: 6 (2013) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: did not take part in UEFA competition 2013/14: round of 32 2012/13: quarter-finals 2011/12: round of 32 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA competition 2009/10: group stage 2008/09: did not take

İnsan Kaynakları Muhasebesi, insan sermayesine yapılan yatırım maliyetlerini kârı azaltan giderler olarak değerlendiren geleneksel muhasebesinin aksine, insan kaynakları ile ilgili harcamaların varlık olarak hesaplanmasını içerir.

The second Research Facts & Key figures CAN 2012 showed a slight decrease due to the fact that National teams of Cameroon, Nigeria, Togo, Benin were not qualified for the 2012 edition (teams with more than 60% of players playing in Europe).

  • Statistical Assessment of Soccer Players
    Statistical Assessment of Soccer Players by Mohammad-Amin Nabavi A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science in Mathematics and Statistics Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2019 Mohammad-Amin Nabavi ABSTRACT This thesis examines the use of neural network modelling and ordinal logistic regression on a single season of data (2015-16) to score or rank soccer players. These scores and ranks are then compared with ones from FIFA EASports that are based on a much more extensive data set that includes more variables as well as historical data. Using repeated measures one-way ANOVA and subsequent multiple comparison testing, we conclude that a neural network model with ten nodes in one hidden layer is able to generate scores statistically similar to FIFA EASports, while ordinal logistic regression cannot. We confirm this result be also examining the ranks obtained by both the neural network model and the ordinal logistic regression model. Spearman rank correlations are also examined and confirm that a neural network with 10 nodes in one hidden layer also generates ranks statistically similar to FIFA EASports. We also demonstrate the use of association rule mining on one team’s data from the 2015-16 season to identify players and combinations thereof that are associated with winning (or not winning) a match. Analyses are based on data from the Italian Serie A League 2015-2016 season. ii Acknowledgements These past couple of years have proven to be the hardest period of my life so far.
