Uefa Champions League UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - 2018/19 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS Stadio Olimpico - Rome Tuesday 12 February 2019 21.00CET (21.00 local time) AS Roma Round of 16, First leg FC Porto Last updated 11/02/2019 14:15CET UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OFFICIAL SPONSORS Match background 2 Legend 6 1 AS Roma - FC Porto Tuesday 12 February 2019 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Stadio Olimpico, Rome Match background Porto will look to continue their dominance over Roma as the teams are reunited in the round of 16 with the Portuguese champions having won both previous ties between the clubs. • Porto come into this tie having won their last five fixtures to finish top of Group D, scoring three goals or more in each of their last four outings. Roma, meanwhile, were second to holders Real Madrid in Group G and have lost their last two UEFA Champions League games – although their campaign has also included their biggest victory in the competition. Previous meetings • Porto are unbeaten in their four matches with Roma, knocking out the Italian side in the second round of the 1981/82 European Cup Winners' Cup thanks to a 2-0 home first-leg victory that took them through by the same aggregate scoreline. • Porto players also provided both goals when the sides met again in Portugal in the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League play-offs, although this time it ended in a 1-1 draw; André Silva's 61st-minute penalty got the home side back on terms after a Felipe own goal had given Roma a first-half lead. • The Portuguese side turned on the style in the Stadio Olimpico return, goals from Felipe (8), Miguel Layún (73) and Jesús Corona (75) earning an impressive victory and a place in the group stage. • Aside from the goalscorers, Iker Casillas, Maxi Pereira, Alex Telles, Héctor Herrera, Danilo, Otávio, Sérgio Oliveira and Adrián López all featured for Porto in that tie with Iván Marcano, who swapped Porto for Roma last summer, playing all 180 minutes for the Portuguese side. Juan Jesus, Diego Perotti, Kosas Manolas, Daniele De Rossi, Edin Džeko and Federico Fazio appeared for Roma. Form guide Roma • Roma's round of 16 record is W3 L3. They beat Lyon (2006/07) and Real Madrid (2007/08) in their first two appearances, but then lost to Arsenal (2008/09), Shakhtar Donetsk (2010/11) and Madrid (2015/16) before beating Shakhtar on away goals last season (1-2 away, 1-0 home). • Roma had lost five successive matches in the round of 16 before that second-leg win against Shakhtar last season. • Roma, runners-up in the 1983/84 European Cup, reached the semi-finals last season, beating Shakhtar and Barcelona in the knockout rounds – when a 4-1 away defeat was followed by a 3-0 victory at the Stadio Olimpico – before succumbing to Liverpool. • Džeko scored in Roma's last five knockout matches in last season's competition. • Roma's record in two-legged knockout ties against Portuguese sides is W3 L3; the 2016/17 defeat by Porto ended a run of three successive victories. • The 3-0 home defeat against Porto in August 2016 was Roma's first loss at home to Portuguese visitors since a 2-1 reverse against Benfica in March 1983. Their record between those two losses was W3 D1. • That 2016 loss to Porto was only Roma's second in their last 11 matches against Portuguese clubs (W5 D4). • At home in this season's group stage, Roma beat Viktoria Plzeň 5-0 – their biggest UEFA Champions League win – and CSKA Moskva 3-0 before a 2-0 defeat by Real Madrid that ended a seven-match winning European run at the Stadio Olimpico. • Roma have now won eight of their last 16 home matches in the UEFA Champions League – qualifying included – losing five. Porto • Porto suffered a heavy defeat in last season's round of 16, losing 5-0 at home to Liverpool and on aggregate. • Porto's record in the round of 16 is W3 L7, and they have won only one of their last five ties. They have reached this stage for the third year in a row but have not made it to the quarter-finals since 2014/15. • Porto have won five of their nine two-legged ties against Italian clubs, although the most recent, against Juventus in the 2016/17 round of 16, ended in a 3-0 aggregate defeat (0-2 home, 0-1 away). • That 2016 win at Roma was Porto's first victory in seven visits to Italy (D2 L4), since a 3-2 success at AC Milan in the 1996/97 group stage. • Porto are unbeaten in their last five UEFA Champions League away games (W2 D3). In this season's group stage, they opened with a 1-1 draw at Schalke before victories at Lokomotiv Moskva (3-1) and Galatasaray (3-2). 2 AS Roma - FC Porto Tuesday 12 February 2019 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Stadio Olimpico, Rome • Porto have still won only three of their last nine European away games (D4 L2). They had drawn three in a row before winning at Lokomotiv. • The Dragons' last European defeat came in last season's round of 16 first leg to Liverpool; their record since then is W5 D2. They have won the last five, setting a new club record for successive wins and eclipsing their previous best set in the 1996/97 group stage. • Porto's tally of 16 points was the highest of any club in this season's group stage. Links and trivia • Marcano played for Porto between 2014 and 2018, winning the Portuguese league title in 2017/18. • Porto coach Sérgio Conceição played for Roma's city rivals Lazio between 1998 and 2000, winning the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in his first season, a Serie A/Coppa Italia double in his second and another domestic cup in 2003/04 following spells with Parma and Inter. His record against Roma was W2 D3 L4. • Conceição faced current Roma coach Di Francesco four times in the Rome derby; one win for Lazio, two for Roma and a 3-3 draw in which Di Francesco scored. • Džeko scored in Manchester City's 4-0 win against Porto in the 2011/12 UEFA Europa League round of 16. • Džeko and Aleksandar Kolarov scored past Casillas as the latter's Real Madrid beat Manchester City 3-2 in the 2012/13 UEFA Champions League group stage. • Pepe was sent off in Real Madrid's 2-1 defeat at home to Roma in the 2007/08 UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg. • Otávio scored past Robin Olsen when Porto drew 1-1 with København in the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League group stage. • Have played in Italy: Alex Telles (Internazionale 2015/16) Danilo (Parma 2011/12) • Has played in Portugal Bryan Cristante (Benfica 2014–16) • Have played together: Antonio Mirante & Danilo (Parma 2011/12) Bryan Cristante & Maxi Pereira (Benfica 2014/15) Juan Jesus, Davide Santon & Alex Telles (Internazionale 2015/16) • Juan Jesus played for Internacional between 2010 and 12, when Otávio was in the club's Under-17 side. • International team-mates: Iván Marcano & Adrián López (Spain Under-21) • De Rossi scored past Casillas when Roma lost 4-2 against Real Madrid in the 2004/05 UEFA Champions League group stage. • Casillas saved a De Rossi penalty when Spain defeated Italy on penalties in the UEFA EURO 2008 quarter-finals. The Roma midfielder scored his spot kick past Casillas in the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup semi-finals shoot-out, but Spain again emerged victorious.

    adidas – Euro 2012 Player quotes Iker Casillas - Spain Your last game is against Croatia, how do you feel ahead of this game? Our last game in our group is against Croatia and I expect this to be a very good game – it could well decide the group winners. They’ve got good attacking players like Modric and Rakitic and they play a similar style of football to us. I expect it to be very open with lots of chances for both teams and I hope we can come out on top. Who are the teams and players to look out for at Euro 2012? At Euro 2012 I think Germany will be a really strong team, they’ve got a good balanced side and played very well at the World Cup. Holland as well, runners up at the last World Cup, are a really good team. When they beat Brazil in 2010 they took a big step forward. However there are also teams like France, England and Portugal to watch out for. Take us back and tell us how it felt when you won the 2008 Euros and 2010 World Cup? I felt more intense emotions and joy at the 2008 Euros. It was my first major title with the Spanish national team and that’s when I fulfilled my childhood dream. The World Cup is the biggest tournament you can win on the national stage and it’s the dream for anyone who likes football – luckily I managed to make two dreams come true in two years! The two tournaments will always be very closely linked in my mind will always be the most special to me.

  • As Roma:The Heart of Rome
    AS ROMA:THE HEART OF ROME On the 21st july 1927 ,Alba, Roman and Fortitudo, three Roman football clubs, merged and they founded the Associazione Sportiva Roma, generally called AS Roma. During the 1920s throughout the 1940s the team played on the mythical field "Testaccio", where the legend of this incredible football team capable to beat the prestigious Juventus 5-0 was created. The first Italian championship was won during the season 1941-1942,in 1961 the club won its first and only international trophy, the UEFA Cup. After a long period of not such brilliant results, in 1982-1983 AS Roma won the championship once again and in the following year the club was beaten by Fc Liverpool in the Champions League final to the penalties. After this event the team did not manage to win anything important until its third championship in 2000-2001. Lots of important football players have always played for this team, like the Brazilian Falcao, Cafù and Aldair, the French Vincent Candela, the Argentinian Batistuta and the Ita lian champions of the world Bruno Conti, Francesco Totti and Daniele De Rossi. Today AS Roma is one of the most important European football teams, it always takes part in the Champions League and its name and its players are known all over the world. Its s upporters are known as hearty and passionate and they support the team in a very folkloristic way. The heart of supporters is Curva Sud, the hottest part of the Olimpic stadium, in which people always watch the matches singing, standing up and making stained colourful coreographies.

  • Read I Think Therefore I Play | Ebook
    I Think Therefore I Play Andrea Pirlo is one of the finest footballers of his generation - a World Cup and Champions League winning playmaker who has redefined his position at the base of midfield, and one of the most deadly free-kick takers the game has known. This is his story, in his words.It is written with a level of humour and insight which confound his image as a dead-eyed assassin on the field of play. All the big names are in there: Lippi, Ancelotti, Conte, Maldini, Shevchenko, Seedorf, Buffon, Kaka, Nesta, Balotelli, Costacurta, Gattuso, Berlusconi and Ronaldo ("the real one"). But they're not always in their work clothes. We hear Berlusconi playing the piano and telling "various types of jokes" at Milan's training ground. We see Pirlo and Daniele De Rossi drawing Nesta's ire as they take him on a mystery tour of the German countryside in a hire car days before a World Cup semi-final. And we smell the aftermath of Filippo Inzaghi's graphically-described pre-match routine. With the 2014 World Cup being his last international tournament, this is a timely salute to a special talent who may yet have one final chapter left to write. https://nv.pdfbest.xyz/?book=1909430161 Read Online PDF I Think Therefore I Play, Download PDF I Think Therefore I Play, Read Full PDF I Think Therefore I Play, Read PDF and EPUB I Think Therefore I Play, Read PDF ePub Mobi I Think Therefore I Play, Downloading PDF I Think Therefore I Play, Download Book PDF I Think Therefore I Play, Read online I Think Therefore I Play, Download I Think Therefore I Play

  • 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.
