However, they have not featured in the quarter-finals in a decade, and have lost their last three ties at this stage. Previous meetings • Shakhtar recorded a comfortable victory against Roma when the teams met at this stage of the 2010/11 competition. First-half goals from Jádson (29), Douglas Costa (36) and Luiz Adriano (41) gave the Ukrainian side a 3-2 first-leg victory in Rome despite Razvan Raţ's own goal (28) and a Jérémy Ménez strike (61) for Roma. • Mircea Lucescu's team completed the job back in Donetsk thanks to Willian's double (18, 58), either side of Marco Borriello's 28th-minute penalty miss for the visitors, and a late Eduardo effort (87).

    Approfondimenti e curiosità statistiche Giornata 13 Serie A TIM 2020-21 19 - 20 Dicembre 2020 19/12/2020 15:00 - ARTEMIO FRANCHI FIORENTINA Vs HELLAS VERONA La Fiorentina ha raccolto un punto nelle ultime tre sfide di Serie A TIM contro l'Hellas Verona, incassando sei reti, dopo averne conquistati sette in altrettanti precedenti (2V, 1N), subendo appena un gol. La Fiorentina è la squadra contro cui l'Hellas Verona ha ottenuto più successi in Serie A TIM (14) e quella contro cui ha segnato più gol (64). È dal dicembre 2013 che la Fiorentina non riesce a battere l'Hellas Verona al Franchi in Serie A TIM (due pareggi e due sconfitte negli ultimi quattro incroci a Firenze): 4-3 per gli allora uomini di Montella, grazie anche all’unica doppietta realizzata nel massimo campionato da Borja Valero. L'Hellas Verona ha vinto le ultime due partite fuori casa: solo una volta ha infilato tre successi consecutivi in trasferta in Serie A TIM, nel dicembre 1984 con Osvaldo Bagnoli alla guida. Nessuna squadra ha ottenuto meno punti della Fiorentina in Serie A TIM da inizio novembre ad oggi (solo tre per i viola in sette partite, come il Genoa). I sette gol dell'Hellas Verona in trasferta in questo campionato sono arrivati da cinque giocatori diversi (più le autoreti di Calabria e Lazzari): quattro delle cinque reti sono state siglate da centrocampisti. Nella rosa attuale della Fiorentina ci sono tre giocatori con un passato nell'Hellas Verona (Amrabat, Caceres ed Eysseric), mentre nella rosa dell’Hellas ci sono quattro giocatori con un passato in viola (Ceccherini, Di Carmine, Benassi e Kalinic).

Sebbene l'AS Roma guidi il girone con un punto di vantaggio, è molto probabile che dovrà almeno pareggiare in casa contro il FC Girondins de Bordeaux per accedere agli ottavi.

La Roma ha risolto la questione già nei primi 23 minuti. Al gol iniziale di Matteo Brighi, primo centro per il centrocampista in UEFA Champions League, seguiva la punizione trasformata da Francesco Totti.

  • 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.
