Após o governo do Rio atrasar a despoluição da Baía de Guanabara e a limpeza das lagoas da região do Parque Olímpico, foi a vez da prefeitura abandonar o projeto de recuperação de rios cariocas anunciado com legado da Rio­2016 para a cidade. A limpeza e canalização dos rios, todos da Bacia de Jacarepaguá, estão previstas no chamado caderno de encargos dos Jogos Olímpicos de 2016 –documento que reúne compromissos assumidos por conta do evento. Mesmo assim, a execução dos serviços prometidos ao COI (Comitê Olímpico Internacional) parou no final do ano passado após sucessivos atrasos. Por conta desses atrasos, aliás, a prefeitura do Rio rescindiu no final de dezembro o contrato que mantinha com o Consórcio Rios de Jacarepaguá para a recuperação da hidrográfica da região. O consórcio é formado por duas construtoras, a Andrade Gutierrez e a Carioca Engenharia. Ambas estão envolvidas em esquemas de corrupção apurados na Operação Lava­Jato. As empresas foram contratadas em 2011 para recuperar seis rios cariocas (Covanca, Pechinca, Tindiba, Banda da Velha, Rio Pequeno e Rio Grande). Receberiam quase R$ 236 milhões pelos serviços, que deveriam ter sido concluídos ainda em 2014.

  • The Rafael Benitez Column: Gerrard Can Recall How We Blocked out Ibrahimovic
    The Rafael Benitez Column: Gerrard can recall how we blocked out Ibrahimovic England must create a screen in front of the Sweden danger man and starve him Rafael Benitez Friday, 15 June 2012 England have a very clear obstacle tonight when they play Sweden in Kiev. Everyone will be talking about Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the impact he has already had in these championships for his country and before I go any further on the subject of England I must say that I think that there is a way of dealing with him. It's seven years since our Liverpool team encountered Ibrahimovic in the quarter-final of the Champions League, on our way to the Istanbul final of 2005. He was the big threat in Fabio Capello's Juventus side who we met at that stage but our three-man defence in the Stadio delle Alpi shut him out for the goalless draw that sent us through, after a 2-1 win at Anfield. Yes, Ibrahimovic is very dangerous in the air and he has a very fine touch, but he doesn't like physical contact too much. He's not the quickest player but when he receives the ball to his feet, he likes to keep it, controlling with his chest, perhaps, and bringing other players in. He likes to turn, pass, maybe win some fouls. You might say he's a little like Peter Crouch in some of these positive respects – a player who makes up in other ways what he might lack in pace. The key is to create a screen in front of Ibrahimovic, to prevent him receiving the ball in those areas.

  • Richard Mille Congratulates Manchester City Football Club Champions of Barclays Premier League 2013/14
    RICHARD MILLE CONGRATULATES MANCHESTER CITY FOOTBALL CLUB CHAMPIONS OF BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE 2013/14 Richard Mille congratulates Manchester City Football Club for their victory of the Barclays Premier League 2013/14. The Club secured UK’s most prestigious football title for the second time in three years; an achievement that reconfirms City as being one of the top teams in the world. Heading in to the last round of games City knew that securing a win against West Ham would guarantee the title. Manager Manuel Pellegrini encouraged his players to finish the season with the same style and attacking flair that had seen them scoring over 100 goals in 37 games. Eventually goals from Samir Nasri and Vincent Kompany proved vital as City got the win that allowed them to regain the Barclay’s Premier League Trophy. Richard Mille has been MCFC’s Official Timing Partner since 2012, another key year for the Club’s history as City won the 2011–12 Barclay’s Premier League bringing home their first league title for 44 years. The partnership benefits from a strong affinity of values both the Club and the Swiss watch brand share: Richard Mille’s drive for passion, belief in excellence, leadership, and generation of talent is reflected in the partnerships the brand established with the world’s leading sports elite, which include Tennis Champion Rafael Nadal, Olympic Medallist Yohan Blake and World Rally Champion Sebastien Loeb. Manchester City and Richard Mille also succeed in working together on charity programmes to the benefit of local communities: Manchester City’s own charity ‘City in the Community’ has recently received a generous donation following the sale of a bespoke timepiece designed by Richard Mille.

  • Guidare I Giovani Ma Talentuosi Compagni Di Reparto
    GUIDA ALL’ASTA ALISSON P 16 POR 15 Dopo la disastrosa figuraccia rimediata nella finale di Champions, il Liverpool aveva bisogno di un portiere del calibro di Alisson. Il brasiliano nella passata stagione ha dimostrato di essere un gran portiere, a volte insuperabile. Tuttavia in questo inizio di stagione non è stato proprio impeccabile. Errori clamorosi dovuti forse alla troppa sicurezza e quel gioco con i piedi al limite dell'estremo, quasi a voler mostrare la propria bravura con gli arti inferiori al resto del mondo, gli stanno decisamente facendo perdere tanti punti. A volte si dice che per essere un gran portiere bisogna avere quel pizzico di follia, in questo caso sembra più stupidità mista a presunzione. Umiltà e semplicità sono alla base di LIVERPOOL tutto. EDERSON P 15 POR 15 Portiere attento, bravo con i piedi ma non sempre impeccabile. Alle volte da l'impressione di poter far di più pur non commettendo strafalcioni clamorosi. Resta comunque uno dei migliori portieri d'Europa, specialmente grazie al gioco di Guardiola che non concede molto possesso palla agli avversari. Per lui lo scorso anno solo 26 le reti subite in Premier, un numero talmente basso che fa quasi paura. MANCHESTER CITY DE GEA P 15 POR 15 Lasciate perdere le indecisioni al Mondiale, lo spagnolo allo United è una vera fortezza. Salva spesso il risultato con parate fuori dal normale, riesce a risultare determinante quanto e più dei suoi attaccanti ed è uno dei pochi portieri a prendere voti sopra il 7 anche senza bonus insomma, se volete una saracinesca, De Gea è quanto di meglio ci possa essere sul mercato.

  • 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.
