We know we face a difficult way we are trying to play. task this evening and we know too that a home win in the Premier League for us It is easy to criticise after a big defeat is overdue. but we are in the top four of the league table, only seven points off the top, and I think that we have been the better side there are 23 more games to play. We in all our games here this season which have also arrived in the last 16 of the is why I remain confident that we can UEFA Champions League where we will have a big season.

INTERVIEW: DAVID CLAYTON IMAGES: VICTORIA HAYDN/PA Claudio Bravo never expected life in the Premier Bravo is also the captain of Chile with a record League to be easy. 110 caps to date. He has skippered his country to back-to-back Copa America triumphs in the He’d seen football in this country from afar for last two years. So nobody doubts he has the many years, come up against English clubs in experience and pedigree needed to prosper in European competition and had a rough idea of any league in the world. Most importantly, he is what to expect – but, of course, the reality of enjoying life at City. the cut and thrust of football in this country is non-stop, the pressures great and the spotlight “Here the football is more dynamic, more relentless. physical, with players physically different to the ones you find in Spain, though they are very But Bravo is made of stern stuff. He played more talented as well,” he says. “That makes for a very than 300 games for Real Sociedad and Barcelona equal league and the level of play of all the teams during 11 years in Spain.

It makes well-respected goalkeeper in Spain with his two the competition here special – and different from years at the Nou Camp the most successful of his anything I’ve come across before. Any team is career and for club and country, he picked up 10 capable of beating anyone else and there’s a lot major winner’s medals between 2014 and 2016. of quality within all the teams. 09 “The stadiums, fans and atmosphere – everything is different but I’m enjoying it. There might be clubs in this league that are perceived to be bigger than others, and some with more history than others, but the level of play is similar from game to game and there are no ‘easy wins’. “Watford will be just as diffi cult. They are challenging for a place in the top half of the table and have proved they are a very good side and have had a number of good results away from home, so we have to be at our best.” City have struggled recently at home with just one win in six matches at the Etihad. The most damaging game in that run was potentially the 3-1 loss to Chelsea in the last Premier League home game – all the more frustrating given that the Blues were in control and ahead for an hour of a match that had arguably been one of the best performances of the season. Three counter-attack goals produced a slightly skewed scoreline, but a stark reminder of how cruel the Premier League can be if you don’t take your chances. Bravo says that although the Chelsea defeat hurt, once any fi nal whistle has blown the focus has to immediately turn to the next game. “I think the mood doesn’t change whether we win, draw or lose. We are very clear that our job is to keep working hard, keep focusing and play the best games we can so we can get the points we need to achieve our targets. “There’s still a long road ahead of us and no matter what happens, we won’t become desperate or worried because that is counter- productive. It is a very long season and so much can happen. I think the team that is more patient, more hard-working and more consistent, will be the one who will achieve their goals. That’s the line we must follow and one that we will follow.” Bravo knew that taking over as City’s number 1 would also be a huge challenge. Taking the place of such a popular keeper as Joe Hart was never going to be easy, but the Chilean is grateful of the support he’s had from the City fans as he and his family settle into their new life. He is desperate to OFFICIAL MATCHDAY PROGRAMME “I think the team that is more patient, more hard-working and more consistent, will be the one who will achieve their goals.

  • The Role of the Winger – from the Numbers to the Training Ground 2014-2015
    NORWEGIAN FOOTBALL F EDERATION UEFA A LICENCE THE ROLE OF THE WINGER - FROM THE NUMBERS TO THE TRAINING GROUND HUGO CARLOS PEREIRA O S L O , 2 0 1 4 - 2 0 1 5 Summary There is a different level of reflection that arises from the study of the numbers. As the football game structure becomes clearer and more defined in a theoretical point of view (will we ever understand its complexity?), the quest for the algorithms that could give us a better control over the outcome becomes more intense. The Norwegian Centre of Football Excellence has been working in the report Kompetansekrav i Rolle. Such report has been providing the clubs and coaches’ with an insight on top team and top players performances in the most high rated football competitions (Champions League, World Cup and European Championship). A large amount of match videos have been analyzed, discussed and dissected into the most pragmatic information possible. In Kompetansekrav i Rolle a vast and multi-faceted set of resources and references are integrated in an overview of each player position on the pitch, their role definition and specific competence. We decided to have the winger as the object of our study and analysis. The wingers are a cultural trait in Portuguese football. There are some characteristics in the role of the winger that provide that immediate rush of emotion when they are in the center of the game, reason why the role of the winger is one of the most exciting objects of study that we can choose in the modern football context.

In writing this thesis, I hope that I have, in some way, managed to explain the reasons for this cultural diversity. This thesis would not have been written without the assistance of my two supervisors, Professor Mike Cronin and Professor Matthew Taylor. Professor Cronin’s assistance and knowledge has transformed the way I think about history, society and sport while Professor Taylor’s expertise has also made me look at the writing of sports history and the development of society in a different way.
