Lazio v Villarreal CF MATCH OFFICIALS Referee Michael Weiner (GER) Assistant Referee Markus Scheibel (GER) Assistant Referee Olaf Blumenstein (GER) Fourth Referee Stefan Trautmann (GER) UEFA Delegate Bernard Carrel (SUI) Referee Observer Muhittin Bosat (TUR) Reporter Francesco Corda (ITA) MATCH BACKGROUND Though Italian and Spanish clubs have met on a regular basis in UEFA club competitions since 1955, it is the first time that both S.S. Lazio and Villarreal CF have met each other. Vast experience A Spanish club provided the opposition for Lazio’s finest achievement, when, coached by Sven-Göran Eriksson, they won the last UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1998/99 with a 2-1 win over RCD Mallorca at Villa Park. This will be the 12th game between Lazio and Spanish clubs in UEFA club competitions and Lazio have four wins, five defeats and two draws from the previous matches. The 2003/04 Coppa Italia winners have made a resolute start to this season’s campaign with two 3-0 wins over Ukrainian club FC Metalurh Donetsk to reach the group stage. Strong impression Villarreal made a strong impression in last season’s UEFA Cup, reaching the semi-finals before losing to the eventual winners Valencia CF 1-0 on aggregate with only a Mista penalty separating the sides. On their way to the latter stages, Villarreal met AS Roma in the fourth round winning 3-2 on aggregate after Sonny Anderson won the tie with a goal in a 2-1 defeat at the Stadio Olimpico.

  • Juventus E Inter Già Con Un Piede in Champions League
    Sport - Sport, calcio, Serie A: Juventus e Inter già con un piede in Champions League Roma - 17 ago 2021 (Prima Pagina News) In cinque si contendono i due posti rimasti su Sisal.it. In sette per quattro posti. Dopo circa 20 anni, la Serie A sembra tornata quella delle sette sorelle dei primi anni Duemila con Juventus, Inter, Milan, Roma e Lazio ancora lì con Atalanta e Napoli che hanno preso il posto di Parma e Fiorentina. La lotta per un posto in Champions League si preannuncia durissima e ogni punto lasciato per strada, o conquistato, potrebbe essere determinante a fine stagione.Due tra queste sette formazioni, secondo gli esperti di Sisal Matchpoint, hanno già un posto assicurato, o quasi, tra le prime quattro del torneo che parte sabato prossimo. Juventus e Inter, infatti, non dovrebbero aver problemi a partecipare alla Champions della stagione 2022-2023: i bianconeri, con il ritorno di Max Allegri che li vede favoriti anche per lo scudetto, sono accreditati di una quota rasoterra di 1,05. Si sale leggermente per ciò che riguarda i campioni d’Italia dell’Inter, passati dalle mani di Conte a quelle di Simone Inzaghi, che hanno salutato Luaku e Hakimi ma accolto Dzeko e Dumfries. I nerazzurri, nonostante questi cambiamenti, non dovrebbero incontrare ostacoli verso la Champions essendo dati a 1,25. Sul terzo gradino del podio si piazza l’Atalanta di Gian Piero Gasperini, da tre stagioni protagonista fissa della massima competizione europea. Gasp e i suoi ragazzi vogliono centrare il poker e l’impresa appare decisamente alla loro portata tanto che si giocano a 1,57.

  • SARRI :LA FINE DI UN MATRIMONIO MAI CONSUMATO: Finisce Dopo Soli 12 Mesi L'era Sarri
    JUVE - SARRI :LA FINE DI UN MATRIMONIO MAI CONSUMATO: Finisce dopo soli 12 mesi l'era Sarri 08/08/2020 La notizia è arrivata nel primo pomeriggio di oggi e si può certo dire che sia una sorpresa. L’eliminazione dalla Champions League è costata piuttosto cara a Maurizio Sarri che, a poco più di un anno dall’insediamento sulla panchina bianconera ha visto interrompersi proprio bruscamente il rapporto con la società bianconera che ha deciso di esonerare il tecnico toscano. La notizia era nell’aria a seguito della gara di ieri che ha visto la Juventus vincere in casa contro il Lione ma essere eliminata in virtù del risultato negativo della gara d’andata. Al di là delle dichiarazioni di facciata quello tra la società bianconera e il tecnico toscano è stato un rapporto mai del tutto nato e si è sempre avuta la sensazione dell’uomo sbagliato nel posto sbagliato ed è bastata una sconfitta europea ad incrinare il rapporto mai del tutto solido con le personalità più ingombranti dello spogliatoio. Sulla scelta di esonerare l’allenatore ha senz’altro pesato anche uno stile comunicativo spesso discutibile da parte del tecnico che poco si sposa con il cosiddetto “stile Juventus” e francamente questo non coglie di sorpresa nessuno. Si può dire senz’altro che è stata più sorprendente la scelta del Chelsea prima e della Juventus poi di puntare su un allenatore come Sarri. Non è un mistero infatti che il tecnico abbia da sempre avuto poco a che spartire con le società di un certo livello. Non è dunque soltanto una scelta che segue i risultati più deludenti del solito a livello di campo quella di allontanare Sarri, ma forse ancor di più ha influito proprio questa decisione questa differenza di stile.

  • The History of Sutton & Epsom
    THE HISTORY OF SUTTON & EPSOM RFC Founded in 1881 Club History Jeff Hume - 12/01/2004 (updated 01/02/2011) Picture this. It's the early 1870's and our British Empire is at its height. Queen Victoria has at long last returned from her mourning at Balmoral. Sutton is no longer a small thinly spread village straddling the London - Brighton turnpike road. Since Thomas Alcock became the lord of the manor, he has proved to be a shrewd property developer. Sutton's population, having leapfrogged Carshalton in the 1850's, has doubled to 6,600 in the last decade. The town is now served not only by the Croydon - Epsom railway but by new lines to Epsom Downs and Mitcham Junction. The economy is booming and it is a time of great social change. Parliament has committed England to compulsory education. The weekend now starts at Saturday lunchtime, generating an enormous public demand to be amused on Saturday afternoons. Public hangings have only just been stopped, as have deportations of convicts to Australia. William Webb-Ellis is on his last legs. Rugby Football is a game played with 20 a side and without the distraction of having a referee. It is at this point that a few intrepid souls, such as Arthur Jackson, the Burrows brothers and James Spencer introduced the sport to Sutton, forming a Club which used the Cock Hotel as their changing room and played on a ground in Western Road. Alcock's 1873 Football Annual records that in their first season, 1871/2, the Club boasted 55 members and played 21 matches, winning slighty more than they lost of these in terms of goals (i.e.
