    57 Interpretation of the Laws of the Game and Guidelines for Referees LAW 12 – FOULS AND MISCONDUCT 111 Basic requirements for a foul The following conditions must be met for an offence to be considered a foul: • it must be committed by a player • it must occur on the fi eld of play • it must occur while the ball is in play If the referee stops play due to an offence committed outside the fi eld of play (when the ball is in play), play must be restarted with a dropped ball from the position of the ball when play was stopped, unless play was stopped inside the goal area, in which case the referee drops the ball on the goal area line parallel to the goal line at the point nearest to where the ball was located when play was stopped. Careless, reckless, using excessive force “Careless” means that the player has shown a lack of attention or consideration when making a challenge or that he acted without precaution. • No further disciplinary sanction is needed if a foul is judged to be careless “Reckless” means that the player has acted with complete disregard to the danger to, or consequences for, his opponent. • A player who plays in a reckless manner must be cautioned “Using excessive force” means that the player has far exceeded the necessary use of force and is in danger of injuring his opponent. • A player who uses excessive force must be sent off Charging an opponent The act of charging is a challenge for space using physical contact within playing distance of the ball without using arms or elbows.

    MERIT report on Media Value in Football Season 2014/15 Summary - Main results Authors: Pedro García del Barrio Director Académico de MERIT social value Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC Barcelona) Bruno Montoro Ferreiro Analista de MERIT social value Asier López de Foronda López Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC Barcelona) With the collaboration of: Josep Maria Espina Serra (UIC Barcelona) Arnau Raventós Gascón (UIC Barcelona) Ignacio Fernández Ponsin (UIC Barcelona) www.meritsocialvalue.com 2 Presentation MERIT (Methodology for the Evaluation and Rating of Intangible Talent) is part of an academic project with vast applications in the field of business and company management. This methodology has proved to be useful in measuring the economic value of intangible talent in professional sport and in other entertainment industries. In our estimations – and in the elaboration of the rankings – two elements are taken into consideration: popularity (degree of interest aroused between the fans and the general public) and media value (the level of attention that the mass media pays). The calculations may be made at specific points in time during a season, or accumulating the news generated during a particular period: weeks, months, years, etc. Additionally, the homogeneity amongst the measurements allows for a comparison of the media value status of individuals, teams, institutions, etc. Together with the measurements and rankings, our database allows us to conduct analyses on a wide variety of economic and business problems: estimates of the market value (or “fair value”) of players’ transfer fees; calculation of the brand value of individuals, teams and leagues; valuation of the economic return from alliances between sponsors; image rights contracts of athletes and teams; and a great deal more.

  • 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.
