Uefa Champions League UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - 2014/15 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi - Istanbul Tuesday 9 December 2014 Galatasaray AŞ 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Arsenal FC Group D - Matchday 6 Last updated 29/05/2015 04:50CET UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OFFICIAL SPONSORS Match background 2 Legend 4 1 Galatasaray AŞ - Arsenal FC Tuesday 9 December 2014 - 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Match press kit Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi, Istanbul Match background There was contrasting matchday five news for Arsenal FC and Galatasaray AŞ, the English club booking their place in the round of 16 while their Turkish opponents' fourth successive defeat confirmed their elimination. Now Arsenal travel to Istanbul needing a win to have a chance of overtaking section leaders Borussia Dortmund. • In the reverse fixture on 1 October, a Danny Welbeck hat-trick helped Arsène Wenger celebrate his 18th anniversary as Arsenal manager with a 4-1 victory. Alexis Sánchez was also on target while Burak Yılmaz pulled one back from the penalty spot for Galatasaray following Wojciech Szczęsny's dismissal. Previous meetings • The teams' only previous meeting before matchday two came in the 1999/2000 UEFA Cup final in Copenhagen. Galatasaray won 4-1 on penalties after a goalless 120 minutes, becoming the first Turkish team to win a UEFA competition. • The lineups at the Parken Stadium on 17 May 2000 were: Galatasaray: Taffarel, Bülent, Capone, Popescu, Ergün, Okan Buruk (Hakan 83), Suat (Yildirim 95), Hagi, Ümit Davala, Arif (Hasan 95), Hakan Şükür. Arsenal: Seaman, Dixon, Keown, Adams, Sylvinho, Parlour, Vieira, Petit, Overmars (Šuker 115), Henry, Bergkamp (Kanu 75). Match background Galatasaray • The Turkish Super League runners-up met English opponents in last season's competition, drawing 1-1 at home to Chelsea FC in the round of 16 before losing 2-0 away. • They are undefeated in their last five home games against English visitors, winning three and drawing two. They failed to win any of the first four such fixtures, recording two defeats and two draws. • Cimbom's home record against Premier League sides is W3 D4 L2; overall it is W3 D8 L9. • At home in this season's group stage Galatasaray needed an added-time equaliser from Burak to rescue a point against RSC Anderlecht. That was followed by a 4-0 loss against Dortmund. The 2-0 loss in Brussels last time out stretched the Turkish team's winless European run to seven matches. • Galatasaray, who have nevertheless lost only four of their last 20 European home matches, are in their 13th group stage campaign and their third in succession, having missed out in the five seasons before that. Arsenal • The Gunners have never lost over 90 minutes to Turkish sides and the matchday two fixture was only the second time the Gunners have conceded goals in ten meetings. The other occasion was a 2008/09 group stage fixture at Fenerbahçe SK which they won 5-2. • Their overall record is W6 D4 L0 (W2 D2 L0 in Istanbul). • Arsenal have eliminated Super League rivals in each of the last two UEFA Champions League play-off rounds. This season they beat Beşiktaş JK 1-0 at home after a 0-0 draw away, with Sánchez scoring his first goal for the club. • Last season they beat Fenerbahçe SK 3-0 in Istanbul and 2-0 in London. • Arsenal will win the group with any victory if Dortmund lose at home to Anderlecht, or if the Gunners win by enough to overtake BVB on overall goal difference or goals scored (a minimum margin of six) should the other game be drawn. • This is the 15th season in succession that Arsène Wenger's side have reached the knockout rounds. Coach and player links • Mesut Özil's parents and grandparents are originally from the Turkish city of Zonguldak. He scored in Germany's 3-0 win over Turkey at Berlin's Olympiastadion on 8 October 2010. • Former team-mates: Aurélien Chedjou and Mathieu Debuchy (LOSC Lille, 2007–13) Hamit Altıntop and Özil (FC Schalke 04, 2006/07) Aurélien Chedjou and Santi Cazorla (Villarreal B, 2002/03) Altıntop and Lukas Podolski (FC Bayern München, 2007–09) Match facts Galatasaray 2 Galatasaray AŞ - Arsenal FC Tuesday 9 December 2014 - 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Match press kit Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi, Istanbul • Selçuk İnan is suspended following his dismissal on matchday five. Felipe Melo is a booking away from a ban. • Cesare Prandelli was dismissed on 27 November following the 2-0 matchday five loss to Anderlecht. • Hamza Hamzaoğlu has been appointed Prandelli's replacement until the end of the season. He started with a 4-2 win against Eskişehirspor in the Turkish Cup group stage on 3 December and then oversaw a 2-1 victory over Akhisar Belediyespor on Saturday, with Burak scoring both the home side's goals. • Burak played his 100th competitive game for Galatasaray in a 1-0 win at Gaziantepspor on 29 November, marking the occasion with an 89th-minute winner. • Felipe Melo, who made his 100th Turkish Super League appearance at Gaziantepspor, was sent off for the fifth time in his 135-game Galatasaray career against Eskişehirspor. • Sinan Bolat made his first competitive appearance of the season in the win against Eskişehirspor. • Blerim Dzemaili is sidelined after picking up a hamstring injury in training with the Switzerland national side. • Alongside APOEL FC, Galatasaray's one point in the UEFA Champions League is the lowest of any club. Only FC BATE Borisov (22) have conceded more than Cimbom's 15. Arsenal • Nacho Monreal is a yellow card away from a suspension. • Wenger's side's 23-match unbeaten run at home in the Premier League – since a 3-1 loss to Aston Villa FC on the opening day of last season – ended with a 2-1 loss to Manchester United FC on 22 November. • The Gunners had won their last three games in all competitions without conceding before going down 3-2 to Stoke City FC on Saturday. Peter Crouch scored the opening goal inside 19 seconds and the home side were 3-0 up at half- time. Arsenal's comeback was stymied by Calum Chambers' 78th-minute red card. • Alexis Sánchez has scored 11 goals in his last 13 outings for club and country. • Welbeck is the five-goal joint top scorer in UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying. • Sanogo scored his first goal for Arsenal in the 2-0 matchday five success against Dortmund. • Laurent Koscielny returned after eight games out with an Achilles injury on 29 November in a 1-0 win at West Bromwich Albion FC. • Szczęsny (hip), Mikel Arteta (calf), Theo Walcott (groin), Özil (knee), Debuchy (ankle), David Ospina (thigh) and Jack Wilshere (ankle) have all been sidelined. 3 Galatasaray AŞ - Arsenal FC Tuesday 9 December 2014 - 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Match press kit Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi, Istanbul Legend ALL-TIME STATISTICS The all-time record of the competing clubs in UEFA club competition.

  • A Comparative Study of After-Match Reports on 'Lost'and 'Won'football
    International Journal of Applied Linguistics & English Literature ISSN 2200-3592 (Print), ISSN 2200-3452 (Online) Vol. 4 No. 1; January 2015 Copyright © Australian International Academic Centre, Australia A Comparative Study Of After-match Reports On ‘Lost’ And ‘Won’ Football Games Within The Framework Of Critical Discourse Analysis Biook Behnam Department of English, Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran E-mail: [email protected] Hasan Jahanban Isfahlan (Corresponding Author) Department of English, Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran E-mail: [email protected] Received: 09-07-2014 Accepted: 02-09-2014 Published: 01-01-2015 doi:10.7575/aiac.ijalel.v.4n.1p.115 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.ijalel.v.4n.1p.115 Abstract In spite of the obvious differences in research styles, all critical discourse analysts aim at exploring the role of discourse in the production and reproduction of power relations within social structures. Nowadays, after-match written reports are prepared immediately after every football match and provide the readers with the apparently objective representations of important events and occurrences of the game. The authors of this paper analyzed four after-match reports (retrieved from Manchester United’s own website), two regarding their lost games and two on their won games. Hodge and Kress’s (1996) framework was followed in the analysis of the grammatical features of the texts at hand. Also, taking into consideration the pivotal role of lexicalization as one dimension of the textualization process (Fairclough, 2012), vocabulary and more specifically the choice of specific verbs, nouns, adverbs and noun or noun phrase modification were examined.

It was a difficult season for Arsenal. The team finished 6th in the league – it’s worst position for over 20 years. During the season, Arsenal lost two great attacking players in Alexis Sanchez (who went to Man Utd), and Olivier Giroud (who went to Chelsea). You can see from the table below that those two guys took lots of shots. Arsenal needed to replace them to keep scoring goals.

  • Reform Effectiveness and Unresolved Issues of the Football in the Turkish Super League
    Ann Appl Sport Sci 8(2): e790, 2020. http://www.aassjournal.com; e-ISSN: 2322–4479; p-ISSN: 2476–4981. 10.29252/aassjournal.790 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Reform Effectiveness and Unresolved Issues of the Football in the Turkish Super League 1Francesco Addesa*, 2Mehmet Erdem Delice 1School of Sport, Leeds Beckett University, Leeds, UK. 2DISES, University of Salerno, Fisciano SA, Italy. Submitted 04 September 2019; Accepted in final form 22 November 2019. ABSTRACT Background. Following the successful outcomes of the national team, that finished third in the 2002 FIFA World Cup, and the positive club performance in the UEFA competitions at the beginning of the new millennium, Turkish football was expected to reaffirm and further develop in the following years, exploiting also the favorable economic conditions. However, its growth and evolution did not meet the expectations, and in the latest years several managerial aspects of the Turkish Football Federation have begun to be questioned, which has led the federation itself to reform football in areas such as foreign players’ quota, financial requirements, and stadiums. Objectives. The main aim of this article is to identify and discuss these issues and how effective the reforms implemented by the Turkish Football Federation have been in the short run. Methods. The research is done through the application of the historical method and the use of secondary data. Results. Our results show that these reforms do not seem to have had a significant impact so far. Conclusion. While some of the reforms likely need more time for their effects to be tangible, the general impression is that Turkish football would need a different approach and more incisive policy interventions.

Further progress was made as they beat PSV Eindhoven 5-4 on aggregate, a 4-2 home win followed by a 2-1 defeat in Eindhoven that proved undamaging thanks to Egyptian international Ahmed Hassan's decisive 88th-minute strike.

They dominated Group L in the autumn before eliminating Malmö, Dynamo Kyiv, Slavia Praha and, on penalties, Eintracht Frankfurt to reach the final. • Arsenal arrive in Azerbaijan on a five-match winning run in the competition. They cruised through to the knockout phase from Group E, dropping just two points and qualifying with two games to spare, but they had a scare in both the round of 32 and round of 16 against BATE Borisov and Rennes respectively before winning home and away in both the quarter-final against Napoli and the semi-final against Valencia.
