Autor: Internet Publicado: 21/09/2017 | 04:57 pm Argentina está lista para el Mundial El técnico Diego Armando Maradona volvió a sorprender con el anuncio de los 23 jugadores que defenderán a la selección albiceleste en el Mundial de Sudáfrica Publicado: Miércoles 19 mayo 2010 | 04:58:33 pm. Publicado por: Raiko Martín Diego Armando Maradona dio este miércoles la gran sorpresa con el anuncio de que llevará a la Copa del Mundo al defensor Ariel Garcé, casi sin experiencia en la selección de Argentina. Garcé, de 30 años y defensor de Colón de Santa Fe, sorteó la depuración final y resulta llamativo que Maradona lo haya preferido en lugar de Javier Zanetti, capitán y figura del Inter de Italia, y quien ya fue ignorado en la lista preliminar de la semana anterior. El «chino» Garcé, que además defendió las camisetas de River Plate y Monarcas de México, lleva tres partidos con la selección, uno de ellos bajo la dirección de Maradona en la victoria 4-0 en un amistoso ante Haití el pasado 6 de mayo en Neuquén. Palermo, máximo goleador de Boca Juniors, estará en su primer Mundial a los 36 años. Es el jugador de mayor edad entre los argentinos, tras haberle ganado la pulseada a Ezequiel Lavezzi (Napoli, Italia). La nómina también incluye, entre otros, a Messi (Barcelona), elegido mejor jugador del mundo en 2009, el capitán Mascherano (Liverpool), el experimentado volante Juan Sebastián Verón (Estudiantes) y los atacantes Gonzalo Higuaín (Real Madrid), Diego Milito (Inter) y Tevez (Manchester City).

  • 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.

  • Birkbeck Sport Business Centre Research Paper Series Economic
    ISSN: 1756-8811 Birkbeck Sport Business Centre Research Paper Series Economic evaluation of Football players through media value Pedro Garcia-del-Barrio, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya Francesc Pujol, Universidad de Navarra Volume 9, Number 3, September 2016 Copyright © Pedro Garcia-del-Barrio and Francesc Pujol 1 Economic evaluation of Football players through media value Pedro Garcia-del-Barrio* ([email protected]) Universitat Internacional de Catalunya Francesc Pujol ([email protected]) Department of Economics, Universidad de Navarra ABSTRACT This paper describes an approach based on media value to evaluate sport talent. We then apply this methodology to estimate the theoretical value of transfer fees for professional football players. First, we compute the individual index of media value and expressed it with respect to the average of the top 2,500 players included in our data set of more than 5,000 individuals. The media value score is the factor by which the number of news of a player multiplies the news articles of the normal (average) player in our sample. Based on individual appraisals, we then work out the media value rank of football teams and leagues. To calculate the theoretical value of football players, we estimate regression models using as dependent variable the transfer fees actually paid. Our analyses allow us to conclude that, in determining the theoretical transfer fee of a player, it is necessary to consider a few variables, among which the media value status plays a major role. Other explanatory variables to explain the transfer fees are: contract duration, economic status of the hiring team, number of years of experience (quadratic form), player's age at the end of the contract, and media value share of the player within his team.

  • UEFA Champions League Museum
    MUSEUM INDEX 1 INTRODUCTION/04 2 BEST CLUBS/10 3 BEST FINALS/17 4 BEST PLAYERS/22 5 ROAD TO WEMBLEY/54 1 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Since the competition was founded as the European Champions Clubs’ Cup over half a century ago, only 22 clubs and 515 players have won it. But, in doing so, they and their opponents have left us an incredibly rich heritage of magic moments. You might not be old enough to remember Alfredo Di Stéfano’s Real Madrid, Eusébio’s Benfica, Johan Cruyff’s Ajax or Franz Beckenbauer’s Bayern back in the days when clubs established dynasties by successfully defending the European crown – something no team has yet managed to do since the competition became the UEFA Champions League in 1992. And exactly what is it that sticks in your mind? Is it a micro-second of breathtaking skill like Zinédine Zidane’s sublime volley in the 2002 final? Do you focus on a wider time-span, such as Manchester United’s three-minute comeback in Barcelona in 1999? Maybe it’s not an image at all, but the sheer drama of a penalty shoot-out. Or perhaps it’s an emotion rather than an image. The Museum of Champions offers you memorabilia and images to inspire memories and help you to re-live the special emotions created by the world’s top club competition. CREDITS Designwerk Event Branding and Design act3 Event Production Die Firma Print, Production and Build Hanot GABRIEL 1954 THE Founder It may be a statement of the obvious that founder of the ‘European Cup’ was a man of vision.

  • 2009/10 UEFA Champions League Technical Report
    TECHNICAL REPORT 2009/10 ENGLISH SECTION PARTIE FRANÇAISE DEUTSCHER TEIL STATISTICS THOMAS / POPPERFOTO / GETTY IMAGES TECHNICAL REPORT This report has been published as a permanent record of the 2009/10 UEFA Champions League, which was the competition’s 18th season. In addition to the factual and statistical data that make it a reference work, it contains analysis, reflections and debating points which, it is hoped, will give technicians food for thought and, by highlighting tendencies and trends at the peak of professional football, also offer coaches who are active in the development levels of the game information that may be helpful in terms of working on the qualities which will be needed by the UEFA Champions League performers of the future. A full house at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid watches the opening ceremony raise the curtain on the UEFA Champions League’s first-ever Saturday final. REWIND AND FAST FORWARD Rewinding images of 125 games is a valid antidote to the tendency to read the 2009/10 season as a story of Milan, Munich and Madrid. It is easy to forget that FC Internazionale Milano won once in their first five games and that FC Bayern München took four points from the opening four fixtures. Both finalists qualified in extremis from a group phase in which three former UEFA Champions League winners were eliminated. Among the eight group winners, only three were former champions of Europe. There was no shortage of cameos which underlined that, in the UEFA Champions League, lapses of concentration are usually punished. The 2006 finalists, Arsenal FC, opening their campaign against R.
