  • Bab I Pendahuluan
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Masalah Sepak bola merupakan salah satu olahraga yang paling populer diseluruh penjuru dunia. Sepak bola sendiri dimainkan secara tim yang terdiri dari 11 orang didalam 1 tim. Olahraga ini juga dianggap sebagai olahraga yang menyatukan banyak kalangan tidak hanya digemari oleh kaum laki-laki, tetapi juga sekarang sudah banyak diminati oleh kaum perempuan .Awalnya permainan sepak bola hanya mencakup kawasan benua Eropa saja, tapi lambat laun mengikutin perkembangan zaman sepak bola mulai merambah kebenua lain seperti Asia, Amerika dan Afrika. Di negara Jepang sendiri sepak bola untuk pertama kalinya dikenalkan secara resmi pada masa Zaman Meiji (23 Oktober 1868-30Juli 1912) atau tepatnya pada tahun 1873, perkenalan ini bersamaan dengan banyak olahraga asing lainnya yang diperkenakan ke pemerintah Jepang oleh para penasehat asing pada Zaman Meiji. Olahraga sepak bola diperkenalkan oleh seorang penasehat asing bernama Comander Douglas yang berasal dari Inggris. Seorang komanda angkatan laut Kerajaan Inggris yang mengajar disebua sekolah militer di Tokyo. Ia memperkenalkan cara menendang bola seperti yang dilakukan pada saat sekarang ini kepada seluruh murid di sekolah militer tersebut. Hal ini menarik, karena secara tidak langsung pemerintah Inggris, selain membantu Jepang dalam bidang militer, tetapi juga membantu Jepang dalam bidang olahraga sepak bola. Sehingga pihak Inggris melalui FA (Football Assosiation) turut serta terlibat dalam pembentukan dari JFA(Japan Football Assosiation). (Football In Japan, 2008) Belum lama berlalu, sekitar tiga puluh tahunan yang lalu, sepak bola adalah sebuah olahraga yang asing di negara Jepang. Masyarakat Jepang pada umumnya lebih suka untuk bermain baseball/yakkyu daripada sepak bola. Liga Baseball, cenderung lebih diminati oleh masyarakat tingkat kepopuleran liga baseball di Jepang memang cukup luar biasa.

Eighth Street Stroudsburg, PA 18360 USA Tel: +1-570-476-8006 Fax: +1-570-476-0860 [email protected] ISBN 978-1-945626-02-9 ii Introduction Welcome to the ACL 2016 Student Research Workshop! Following the tradition of the previous years’ workshops, we have two tracks: research papers and thesis proposals. The research papers track is as a venue for Ph.D. students, masters students, and advanced undergraduates to describe completed work or work-in-progress along with preliminary results. The thesis proposal track is offered for advanced Ph.D. students who have decided on a thesis topic and are interested in feedback about their proposal and ideas about future directions for their work. We received in total 60 submissions: 14 thesis proposals and 46 research papers, more than twice as many as were submitted last year. Of these, we accepted 4 thesis proposals and 18 research papers, giving an acceptance rate of 36% overall. This year, all of the accepted papers will be presented as posters alongside the main conference short paper posters on the second day of the conference. Mentoring programs are a central part of the SRW. This year, students had the opportunity to participate in a pre-submission mentoring program prior to the submission deadline. The mentoring offers students a chance to receive comments from an experienced researcher in the field, in order to improve the quality of the writing and presentation before making their final submission.

A photo of Muamba sitting up and smiling appeared on his Twitter account on Friday, the day Petrov’s illness was announced. It is still unclear whether Muamba will ever be able to play professionally but his recovery since collapsing on the field two weeks ago has been unexpectedly strong. “With the help and love of my family, my teammates, all of my friends in football, Aston Villa Football Club and all of the fans, I am sure I will beat this illness and I am determined to do this,” Petrov said in a statement on Saturday. “I saw the picture released yesterday by Fabrice Muamba, my fellow player, and it has inspired me - as has all of the support in the past 24 hours.” The 32-year-old Petrov was diagnosed with leukemia after he developed a fever following last weekend’s Premier League match against Arsenal. The Bulgaria international is due to begin treatment in a London hospital on Monday but still attended Saturday’s match against Chelsea at Villa Park. Petrov was visibly emotional as he waved from the stands to the fans giving him a standing ovation. “For me, football will have to take a back seat for a while, but I’m here to support my teammates today and I will continue to support them, as I know they will support me,” Petrov said.
