    Olimpico Stadium, Rome 21/10/2004 21:00:00 (Local Time) UEFA Cup Group E, Matchday 1 S.S. Lazio v Villarreal CF MATCH OFFICIALS Referee Michael Weiner (GER) Assistant Referee Markus Scheibel (GER) Assistant Referee Olaf Blumenstein (GER) Fourth Referee Stefan Trautmann (GER) UEFA Delegate Bernard Carrel (SUI) Referee Observer Muhittin Bosat (TUR) Reporter Francesco Corda (ITA) MATCH BACKGROUND Though Italian and Spanish clubs have met on a regular basis in UEFA club competitions since 1955, it is the first time that both S.S. Lazio and Villarreal CF have met each other. Vast experience A Spanish club provided the opposition for Lazio’s finest achievement, when, coached by Sven-Göran Eriksson, they won the last UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1998/99 with a 2-1 win over RCD Mallorca at Villa Park. This will be the 12th game between Lazio and Spanish clubs in UEFA club competitions and Lazio have four wins, five defeats and two draws from the previous matches. The 2003/04 Coppa Italia winners have made a resolute start to this season’s campaign with two 3-0 wins over Ukrainian club FC Metalurh Donetsk to reach the group stage. Strong impression Villarreal made a strong impression in last season’s UEFA Cup, reaching the semi-finals before losing to the eventual winners Valencia CF 1-0 on aggregate with only a Mista penalty separating the sides. On their way to the latter stages, Villarreal met AS Roma in the fourth round winning 3-2 on aggregate after Sonny Anderson won the tie with a goal in a 2-1 defeat at the Stadio Olimpico.

  • Juventus E Inter Già Con Un Piede in Champions League
    Sport - Sport, calcio, Serie A: Juventus e Inter già con un piede in Champions League Roma - 17 ago 2021 (Prima Pagina News) In cinque si contendono i due posti rimasti su Sisal.it. In sette per quattro posti. Dopo circa 20 anni, la Serie A sembra tornata quella delle sette sorelle dei primi anni Duemila con Juventus, Inter, Milan, Roma e Lazio ancora lì con Atalanta e Napoli che hanno preso il posto di Parma e Fiorentina. La lotta per un posto in Champions League si preannuncia durissima e ogni punto lasciato per strada, o conquistato, potrebbe essere determinante a fine stagione.Due tra queste sette formazioni, secondo gli esperti di Sisal Matchpoint, hanno già un posto assicurato, o quasi, tra le prime quattro del torneo che parte sabato prossimo. Juventus e Inter, infatti, non dovrebbero aver problemi a partecipare alla Champions della stagione 2022-2023: i bianconeri, con il ritorno di Max Allegri che li vede favoriti anche per lo scudetto, sono accreditati di una quota rasoterra di 1,05. Si sale leggermente per ciò che riguarda i campioni d’Italia dell’Inter, passati dalle mani di Conte a quelle di Simone Inzaghi, che hanno salutato Luaku e Hakimi ma accolto Dzeko e Dumfries. I nerazzurri, nonostante questi cambiamenti, non dovrebbero incontrare ostacoli verso la Champions essendo dati a 1,25. Sul terzo gradino del podio si piazza l’Atalanta di Gian Piero Gasperini, da tre stagioni protagonista fissa della massima competizione europea. Gasp e i suoi ragazzi vogliono centrare il poker e l’impresa appare decisamente alla loro portata tanto che si giocano a 1,57.

  • Theory of the Beautiful Game: the Unification of European Football
    Scottish Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 54, No. 3, July 2007 r 2007 The Author Journal compilation r 2007 Scottish Economic Society. Published by Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford, OX4 2DQ, UK and 350 Main St, Malden, MA, 02148, USA THEORY OF THE BEAUTIFUL GAME: THE UNIFICATION OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL John Vroomann Abstract European football is in a spiral of intra-league and inter-league polarization of talent and wealth. The invariance proposition is revisited with adaptations for win- maximizing sportsman owners facing an uncertain Champions League prize. Sportsman and champion effects have driven European football clubs to the edge of insolvency and polarized competition throughout Europe. Revenue revolutions and financial crises of the Big Five leagues are examined and estimates of competitive balance are compared. The European Super League completes the open-market solution after Bosman. A 30-team Super League is proposed based on the National Football League. In football everything is complicated by the presence of the opposite team. FSartre I Introduction The beauty of the world’s game of football lies in the dynamic balance of symbiotic competition. Since the English Premier League (EPL) broke away from the Football League in 1992, the EPL has effectively lost its competitive balance. The rebellion of the EPL coincided with a deeper media revolution as digital and pay-per-view technologies were delivered by satellite platform into the commercial television vacuum created by public television monopolies throughout Europe. EPL broadcast revenues have exploded 40-fold from h22 million in 1992 to h862 million in 2005 (33% CAGR).
