    Olympiacos CFP v Rosenborg BK Georgios Karaiskakis - Athens Tuesday, 13 September 2005 - 20:45 (CET) Group stage - Group F - Matchday 1 Match officials Referee Stefano Farina (ITA) Assistant referees Andrea Consolo (ITA), Massimo Biasutto (ITA) Fourth official Enrico Rocchi (ITA) UEFA delegate Barry Taylor (ENG) Match preview Olympiacos set greater goals Having gone tantalisingly close to reaching the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League last season, Olympiacos CFP hope to "show their true colours" this term and progress from the group stage for only the second time in ten attempts. 'Early goal' The Greek champions begin their Group F campaign at home to Rosenborg BK on Tuesday with coach Trond Sollied calling on his side to make an early impression ahead of likely tougher tests against Real Madrid CF and Olympique Lyonnais. "There are 18 points up for grabs in the group and we must take as many as we can from each match," said Sollied, a former Rosenborg coach and player whose last experience of Champions League football was at the helm of Club Brugge KV. "If we can get an early goal [on Tuesday] it will certainly boost our chances." False dawns Olympiacos are well used to false dawns in Europe, although they were unlucky not to advance with their tally of ten points in Group A last season. At half-time on Matchday 6 they led Liverpool FC 1-0, and were still on course for the first knockout round at 2-1 down with four minutes to play when Steven Gerrard struck a stunning winner to propel the English team towards the next stage (and eventual glory) and the Piraeus outfit into the UEFA Cup.

  • The Three-Man Midfield
    THE THREE-MAN MIDFIELD by BRIAN BARTOLO Dissertation submitted in part fulfilment of the requirements for the UEFA PRO Diploma 2015-2017 in the Malta Football Association Technical Centre Tutor: STEPHEN GRIMA Abstract Brian Bartolo: The Three-Man Midfield The systems and the style of play of different teams have always been of interest to the various supporters, the media, the general public and especially to coaches. In recent years it has become more and more essential that teams analyse each other’s style and system of play in order to be well prepared to play against the next opponents. Most of the teams have, in fact, employed full time match analysts to help them in performing this job as best as they can. The system and style of play are the team’s identity and these are dictated by the players themselves. The midfield players are the core of each team and therefore, most often, the team is build around these players. The aim of this dissertation is to determine how a three man central midfield in a team operates and how the players move individually and as a group in both attack and defence. The reason why a three man central midfield was chosen for this study is because, in recent years, there have been more teams using three central midfield players rather than two. The questions tackled by this dissertation are: ❖ Which are the different formations that use a three man central midfield? ❖ What are the different characteristics of these players and what impact do they have on the team’s style of play? ❖ What is the role of these players in the possession phase, the non-possession phase and the transition phase of the team? ❖ How do the various midfield players move during different situations, different phases and in different areas of the field of play? ii To My Family and Friends and All the Participants and Tutors of the first “UEFA PRO LICENCE COURSE” held in Malta between September 2015 and April 2017 iii Structure of the dissertation Chapter one gives an explanation of the different types of formations used along the years and how they evolved.

  • Madrid Close In
    PREVIEW ISSUE FOUR – 24TH APRIL 2012 MADRID CLOSE IN REAL TAKE THE SPOILS IN THE EL CLASICO AND CLOSE IN ON THE SILVERWARE After a poor week for both sides in Europe, Real and Barca were desperate to grab a win against their biggest rivals on a dramatic, rain-lashed Saturday night at the Nou Camp. It was Real that grabbed the vital win and probably clinched the La Liga title. Los Merengues went ahead through German midfielders Sami Khedira and were comfortable for long periods, but Barca’s Chilean substitute Alexis Sánchez equalised with just 20 minutes remaining. Cristiano Ronaldo’s clinical strike just three minutes later settled the game with Madrid now seven points clear, with only four games remaining. Madrid coach José Mourinho named an very attacking team and his side began the better. Ronaldo’s early header from a corner brought a superb flying save from goalkeeper Víctor Valdés. His opposite number Iker Casillas was then quickly off his line when full-back Dani Alves dispossessed Sergio Ramos. The game was being played at a fearsome pace and French striker Karim Benzema brought the best out of Valdés again. Barca thought they had gone front when Alves had the ball in the net after a Cristian Tello run, but the youngster had been flagged offside.

  • LIGA SPANYOL – Menang Tipis Di Kandang
    LIGA SPANYOL – Menang Tipis di Kandang Betis, Real Madrid Puncaki Klasemen Realitarakyat.com – Real Madrid mengamankan tiga poin saat menang tipis 1-0 atas Real Betis dalam lanjutan La Liga pekan ke-3 di Stadion Benito VIllamarin, Sevilla, Sabtu waktu setempat (Minggu WIB), demikian catatan laman resmi Liga Spanyol. Dani Carvajal jadi pencetak gol semata wayang kemenangan Madrid, buah dari penampilan agresif 13 percobaan yang tiga di antaranya menemui sasaran. Tuan rumah berusaha mengimbangi permainan Los Blancos, dengan enam kali menemui sasaran dari 11 percobaan tembakan. Kemenangan kedua dari tiga laga ini menempatkan Madrid di puncak klasemen Liga Spanyol dengan tujuh poin. Sedangkan Real Betis di posisi ke-14 dengan dua poin. Carlo Ancelotti menurunkan Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale dan Vinicius Junior di lini depan mereka dan mencoba bermain agresif sejak menit awal. Namun, tak banyak peluang yang diciptakan pada babak pertama ini karena pertahanan Betis masih mampu menetralisir setiap serangan Madrid. Hingga turun minum, skor kacamata tetap bertahan. Memasuki babak kedua, Madrid kembali ambil inisiatif dengan mengandalkan ancaman-ancaman dari Benzema dan Vinicius dari sisi sayap. Pada menit ke-52, Benzema punya kans untuk membawa Madrid unggul setelah menanduk bola dari umpan silang Bale, sayangnya bola masih bisa ditepis kiper Rui Silva. Dua menit kemudian Benzema berada dalam posisi serupa dan sukses menanduk bola ke dalam gawang, tetapi gol itu dianulir karena offside. Kebuntuan akhirnya pecah pada menit ke-61 saat Carvajal sukses menjebol gawang tuan rumah. Berawal dari tusukan Vinicius di sisi kanan, ia mengirimkan bola yang diteruskan jadi umpan silang oleh Benzema ke area tiang jauh, di mana Carvajal menyambutnya dengan tendangan voli untuk memperdaya Silva.
