FC BARCELONA Futbol Club Barcelona also known as FC Barcelona and familiarly as Barça, is a professional football club, based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, English and Catalan footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto "Més que un club" (More than a club). It is the world's second-richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €398 million (2011). The unique feature of the club is that unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona.

A Powerful Midfielder
渠成集 A Powerful Midfi elder 5D Shane Chung Kaka (Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite) is known as the youngest and the most powerful offensive football player in the world. He is now playing for Spanish La Liga Club, Real Madrid and the Brazilian National Team. Kaka’s quick rise to fame also made his name appear on a list of the world’s 100 most infl uential people in Time Magazine. However, Kaka’s success has not been easy. Kaka was born in 1982 in Brazil. He began his football career at the age of eight. At the age of fifteen, he decided to become a football player. Unluckily, at the age of eighteen, he suffered a spine fracture as a result of a swimming pool accident, which made him nearly paralyzed. Fortunately, he recovered quickly and picked up football playing again. Kaka joined AC Milan in 2003. He was voted the best midfielder of the Champions League the next year. Many people said that 2007 was the most successful and signifi cant year in Kaka’s football career so far. He was named the FIFPro World Player of the year. Two years later, Kaka signed for Real Madrid and aimed to continue his career at a higher level. Kaka is now one of the famous young stars in world football. Although Kaka has a handsome face, it has never driven him away from his football career. “I’m glad when people say I’m handsome, but I prefer to be the best in the game.” he says. To me, Kaka is a perfect football player, not because of his attractive face, but because of his humble personality as well as his outstanding performance on the football fi eld. -
Olympiacos CFP V Rosenborg BK
Olympiacos CFP v Rosenborg BK Georgios Karaiskakis - Athens Tuesday, 13 September 2005 - 20:45 (CET) Group stage - Group F - Matchday 1 Match officials Referee Stefano Farina (ITA) Assistant referees Andrea Consolo (ITA), Massimo Biasutto (ITA) Fourth official Enrico Rocchi (ITA) UEFA delegate Barry Taylor (ENG) Match preview Olympiacos set greater goals Having gone tantalisingly close to reaching the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League last season, Olympiacos CFP hope to "show their true colours" this term and progress from the group stage for only the second time in ten attempts. 'Early goal' The Greek champions begin their Group F campaign at home to Rosenborg BK on Tuesday with coach Trond Sollied calling on his side to make an early impression ahead of likely tougher tests against Real Madrid CF and Olympique Lyonnais. "There are 18 points up for grabs in the group and we must take as many as we can from each match," said Sollied, a former Rosenborg coach and player whose last experience of Champions League football was at the helm of Club Brugge KV. "If we can get an early goal [on Tuesday] it will certainly boost our chances." False dawns Olympiacos are well used to false dawns in Europe, although they were unlucky not to advance with their tally of ten points in Group A last season. At half-time on Matchday 6 they led Liverpool FC 1-0, and were still on course for the first knockout round at 2-1 down with four minutes to play when Steven Gerrard struck a stunning winner to propel the English team towards the next stage (and eventual glory) and the Piraeus outfit into the UEFA Cup. -

Media Release Date: 22/04/2004 Communiqué aux médias No. 063 Medien-Mitteilung Zinedine Zidane voted top player by fans uefa.com users vote Zidane, Beckenbauer and Cruyff as top three The search to find European football's top player from the past 50 years ended today, Thursday 22 April, with the announcement that French international midfielder Zinedine Zidane has beaten off competition from German great Franz Beckenbauer and Dutch master Johan Cruyff, to be named number one by the users of uefa.com. The announcement, made at the UEFA Golden Jubilee ceremony, which opened the XXVIII Ordinary UEFA Congress in Limassol, provided much discussion among the assembled delegates and football representatives, especially with Beckenbauer in attendance. "Just to be in the top 20 is touching, it's great," said Zidane, who provided a message via video from the Spanish capital. "It is extraordinary to be voted one of the best European players of the past 50 years. I am a bit surprised, but I am very glad that people appreciate what we do on the pitch. “I am bracketed with those players that have made a difference in the last 50 years and when you play football, this is the reason you do it. For me, football is everything. It was my biggest passion and something I always knew how to do best. Even today, practically at the end of my career, I enjoy playing football. It is a privilege." No formal award was made to Zidane, although as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of both UEFA and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), UEFA will provide a donation to a Youth football development fund being administered by the AFC in order to help install an artificial turf pitch in East Timor, which will be named after the France and Real Madrid CF midfielder. -
The Three-Man Midfield
THE THREE-MAN MIDFIELD by BRIAN BARTOLO Dissertation submitted in part fulfilment of the requirements for the UEFA PRO Diploma 2015-2017 in the Malta Football Association Technical Centre Tutor: STEPHEN GRIMA Abstract Brian Bartolo: The Three-Man Midfield The systems and the style of play of different teams have always been of interest to the various supporters, the media, the general public and especially to coaches. In recent years it has become more and more essential that teams analyse each other’s style and system of play in order to be well prepared to play against the next opponents. Most of the teams have, in fact, employed full time match analysts to help them in performing this job as best as they can. The system and style of play are the team’s identity and these are dictated by the players themselves. The midfield players are the core of each team and therefore, most often, the team is build around these players. The aim of this dissertation is to determine how a three man central midfield in a team operates and how the players move individually and as a group in both attack and defence. The reason why a three man central midfield was chosen for this study is because, in recent years, there have been more teams using three central midfield players rather than two. The questions tackled by this dissertation are: ❖ Which are the different formations that use a three man central midfield? ❖ What are the different characteristics of these players and what impact do they have on the team’s style of play? ❖ What is the role of these players in the possession phase, the non-possession phase and the transition phase of the team? ❖ How do the various midfield players move during different situations, different phases and in different areas of the field of play? ii To My Family and Friends and All the Participants and Tutors of the first “UEFA PRO LICENCE COURSE” held in Malta between September 2015 and April 2017 iii Structure of the dissertation Chapter one gives an explanation of the different types of formations used along the years and how they evolved. -
