    UNTER WÖLFEN UNTER WÖLFEN UNTER WÖLFEN VS. MATCHDAYMATCHDAY 1. SPIELTAG · 14.08. · 15.30 UHR LIEBELIEBE FANS,FANS, es geht wieder los! Nach knapp drei Monaten ohne Bundesliga- Fußball rollt das Leder wieder in den Stadien der Republik. Zum Auftakt der 59. Spielzeit seit Gründung der Bundesliga empfangen unsere Wölfe den Aufsteiger VfL Bochum . Nach elf Jahren Abstinenz heißen wir den Revierklub damit wieder im Oberhaus willkommen. Gemeinsam mit dem „blau-weißen VfL“ kehrt auch ein alter Bekannter zurück in die Autostadt: Aufstiegscoach Thomas Reis trainierte drei Jahre lang die grün-weißen A-Junioren, ehe er 2019 zu jenem Verein zurückkehrte, für den er zwischen 1995 und 2003 als Profi insgesamt 176 Partien bestritt. An alter Wirkungsstätte gelang dem 48-Jährigen das, woran zuvor zehn Trainer gescheitert waren: den Traditionsklub wieder erstklassig zu machen. Mit Mark van Bommel, frischem Trainerstab, vielversprechenden Neuzugängen und unserem heutigen Interview-Partner Koen Casteels als neuem Kapitän gehen die Wölfe in diese sicher inten- sive Spielzeit, in denen uns der Bundesliga-Alltag mit mindestens sechs, hoffentlich aber mehr Champions-League-Auftritten unter der Woche versüßt wird. Wir wünschen unserem neuen Chefcoach und seinen Schützlingen an dieser Stelle bereits viel Erfolg – auf nationalem wie auch auf internationalem Parkett. Wir alle haben in der zurückliegenden außerordentlich schwie- rigen Spielzeit darunter gelitten, aufgrund der Corona-Ein- schränkungen Spitzenfußball komplett ohne Zuschauerunterstützung in den Stadien erleben zu müssen. Umso erfreulicher ist es, dass wir zum heutigen Ligaauftakt wieder lautstarke Fans in unserer schönen Volkswagen Arena begrüßen dürfen – und damit ein wichtiger Schritt in Richtung Normalität gegangen werden kann. Damit die erfreuliche Entwicklung anhalten kann, ist eine hohe Impfquote ein entschei- dender Faktor.

    UNTERSaison 2020/2021 | Ausgabe 19 WÖLFEN 31. Spieltag | 24. April 2021 | 15.30 Uhr KOMPAKT ZU GAST: BORUSSIA DORTMUND LIEBE FANS, herzlich willkommen zum 31. Spieltag und dem drittletzten Heimauftritt unserer Wölfe in dieser Saison. Die Vorzeichen des heutigen Duells zwischen dem aktuellen Tabellendritten und dem Fünften, dem BVB aus Dortmund, versprechen Hochspannung: Sowohl Grün-Weiß als auch Schwarz-Gelb können mit Erfolgserlebnissen im Rücken ins Duell um die Champions- League- Qualifikation gehen. Während Wolfsburg nach zuvor zwei knappen und torreichen Niederlagen in Frankfurt und gegen die Bayern am Mittwoch beim VfB Stuttgart mit 3:1 zurück in die Spur gefunden und sich damit bereits das Ticket für einen europäischen Wettbewerb gesichert hat, feierte der BVB beim 2:0 gegen Union Berlin seinen dritten Sieg in Folge. Mit aktuell fünf Zählern Vorsprung vor der Borussia befindet sich der VfL in der Pole-Position, die Dortmunder sind eigentlich zum Siegen verdammt, um vier Spieltage vor Schluss wieder richtig in den Showdown um die Königsklasse eingreifen zu können. Während die historische Bundes- liga-Bilanz zwar eindeutig für Schwarz-Gelb spricht, hat Grün-Weiß in dieser Saison allerdings bewiesen, gerade zuhause gegen jeden Gegner bestehen zu können. Das 2:3 gegen die Bayern war nicht nur unglücklich und am Ende unnötig, es war zugleich erst die allererste Saisonniederlage im heimischen Rund. Und überhaupt: 57 Punkte nach 30 Partien bedeuten die drittbeste Bilanz aller Zeiten für den VfL. Nur in der Meistersaison 2008/2009 (60) und in der Vize-Meister-Saison 2014/2015 (61) waren die Wölfe besser. Positiv ist auch, dass mit den beiden Außenverteidigern Kevin Mbabu und Paulo Otavio zwei zuletzt gesperrte Defensivkräfte zurückkehren, auch Captain Josuha Guilavogui dürfte zu Ende diese letzten englischen Woche der Saison nach verletzungsbedingtem Ausfall wieder eine Option sein.

    SWITZERLAND V ENGLAND UEFA EURO 2016 QUALIFYING COMPETITION MONDAY 8 SEPTEMBER 2014 ST JAKOB PARK STADIUM, BASEL, SWITZERLAND KICK OFF: 8.45PM (LOCAL TIME) 1 FOREWORD: ROY HODGSON Dear fans, Firstly, I’d like to thank you for your support in coming to our important away fixture in Basel. As you will no doubt be aware, this match against Switzerland could prove to be one of our toughest games of the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign and we have to hit the ground running. Your brilliant commitment and effort will undoubtedly help us as we look to get off to the best possible start. I must also make reference to those of you that came out to Brazil in the summer. It was a bitterly disappointing tournament for the team, coaching staff, myself and – of course – all the fans. We will work very hard to rebuild the faith you have continued to show in us. The players and staff saw the lengths you went to following the team in Brazil and we hugely appreciated it. The support you gave us in Belo Horizonte was particularly humbling and it makes everyone determined to reward you and the fans back home with good performances and results. 2 My hope is that England supporters continue to stand alongside us when we represent the nation together. We have some exciting matches coming up – not least this fixture – and some other away games with our local rivals. Our next goal is to qualify for an exciting tournament in France and we will focus all of our efforts on that.

  • 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.
