Title in Arial Bold 22 Pt TECHNICAL REPORT
TECHNICAL REPORT 2008/09 Title in Arial bold 22 pt Subtitle in Arial regular 14 pt ENGLISH SECTION PARTIE FRANÇAISE DEUTSCHER TEIL STATISTICS PHOTO: POTTS / PA WIRE / PA IMAGES TECHNICAL REPOrt This report has been published as a record of the 2008/09 UEFA Champions League, which was the competition’s seventeenth season. In addition to the factual and statistical data that make it a valuable reference work, it contains analysis, reflections and debating points which, it is hoped, will give technicians food for thought and, by highlighting tendencies and trends at the peak of professional football, also offer coaches who are active at the development levels of the game information that may be helpful in terms of working on the qualities which will be needed by the UEFA Champions League performers of the future. Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand can only watch as Lionel Messi jumps just far enough upwards and backwards to deliver the looping header which put FC Barcelona 2-0 up in the 70th minute of the final in Rome. THE ROADS THAT LED TO ROME Distance is meant to lend perspective, but it can also blur the vision. The fact that the neutrals who, when the group stage kicked off in September, predicted a Manchester United v Barcelona final were watching it just over eight months later gives the impression that the 124-match pilgrimage to Rome had been a relentless march towards a foregone conclusion. That was by no means the case. It is easy to forget that FC Barcelona won only half of their home games, or that they were being counted out during the final seconds of their heavyweight semi-final contest with Chelsea – only for Andrés Iniesta to produce the stunning drive which earned a trip to Rome.

Liverpool travelled to East London without a recognised striker and there were doubts that Brendan Rodgers's side would be able to score one goal, let alone three, without the suspended Luis Suarez. On the High Street leading to Upton Park, there are lots of shops selling human Shelvey digs deep to inspire Liverpool fightback hair. Rodgers might have considered using them as a starting point to create a Jonjo Shelvey was the only Liverpool player to celebrate a goal at Upton Park and new striker from scratch so desperate did his need seem to be, but his faith in as well he might.

Press Release Committee of the Regions
EUROPEAN UNION Press release Committee of the Regions COR/04/76 Brussels, 5 October 2004 ARSENAL BOSS WENGER KICKS OFF SOCCER DEBATE AT COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS Arsène Wenger, manager of English Premiership champions Arsenal, will take part in a debate at the Committee of the Regions in Brussels at 17:45 tomorrow (6 October) on the theme of ‘European integration and football as a source of regional and national identity’. The debate, organised by l’Association pour la Promotion de l’Alsace in the context of the European Year of Education through Sport, will be moderated by MEP Daniel Cohn-Bendit and also features Marc Keller, Director General of Racing Club de Strasbourg. Among the topics to be covered during the debate will be: • The role of football clubs as partners in the economic and social development of Europe’s regions • Football as a tool for enhancing European integration and bringing nations together • The importance attached to sport in the new EU Constitution • The question of whether there be a ‘sporting exception’ in the application of EU Treaty rules • National quotas and the principle of free movement of players • The evolution of soccer in Europe following the Bosman ruling • The role of sport in social integration • TV rights, competition and solidarity Arsène Wenger played as a defender/sweeper for Mutzig, Mulhouse and Vauban before joining his hometown club of RC Strasbourg in 1978.

Football Agents in the Biggest Five European Football Markets an Empirical Research Report
FOOTBALL AGENTS IN THE BIGGEST FIVE EUROPEAN FOOTBALL MARKETS AN EMPIRICAL RESEARCH REPORT FEBRUARY 2012 Raffaele Poli, CIES Football Observatory, University of Neuchâtel Giambattista Rossi, João Havelange Scholarship, Birkbeck University (London) With the collaboration of Roger Besson, CIES Football Observatory, University of Neuchâtel Football agent portrayed by the Ivorian woodcarver Bienwélé Coulibaly Executive summary While intermediaries acting in the transfers of footballers have existed since almost the birth of the professional game, the profession of agent was not officially recognised until 1991 when FIFA established the first official licensing system. In November 2011, there were 6,082 licensed agents worldwide: 41% of them were domiciled within countries hosting the big five European leagues: England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France. This research project firstly investigates shares in the representation market of players in the five major European championships. By presenting the results of a survey questionnaire, it analyses the socio-demographic profile of licensed football agents in the above mentioned countries, the business structure of their activity, the different kinds of services provided, and the way in which they are performed from a relational point of view (network approach). The analysis of shares highlights that the big five league players’ representation market is highly concentrated: half of the footballers are managed by 83 football agents or agencies. Our study reveals the existence of closed relational networks that clearly favors the concentration of players under the control of few agents. Footballers are not equally distributed between intermediaries. Conversely, dominant actors exist alongside dominated agents. One fifth of the agents having answered to our questionnaire manage the career of half of the players represented on the whole.
