  • Belmadi, Le Choix Par Défaut De Zetchi
    Sport / Sports Les deux hommes se sont rencontrés hier à Paris Belmadi, le choix par défaut de Zetchi Nos sources nous affirment que les pourparlers se déroulent dans de bonnes conditions et tout porte à croire que l’ancien meneur de l’Olympique de Marseille sera le remplaçant de Rabah Madjer à la tête des Verts. Le président de la Fédération algérienne de football (FAF), Kheïreddine Zetchi, a eu une rencontre très importante hier avec l’ancien capitaine de l’équipe nationale, Djamel Belmadi. Le motif : Belmadi serait le futur sélectionneur national. Nos sources nous affirment que les pourparlers se déroulent dans de bonnes conditions et tout porte à croire que l’ancien meneur de l’Olympique de Marseille sera le remplaçant de Rabah Madjer à la tête des Verts. Le président de la FAF, Zetchi, a ainsi, pris tout le monde à contre-pied alors qu’il annonçait à tout bout de champ qu’il compte engager un mondialiste. Finalement, il n’y a ni Vahid Halilhodzic, ni l’actuel coach du Maroc, Hervé Renard, ni le Néerlandais Bert Van Marwijk, ni le Franco-allemand Gernot Rohr, ni le Portugais Carlos Queiroz encore moins le Français Paul Le Guen. Zetchi s’est porté finalement sur un choix par défaut, lui qui ne pouvait ramener un mondialiste, comme il avait promis depuis le départ de Madjer. Il faut savoir qu’il y a eu un échange assez sérieux avec le coach de l’Iran Queiroz mais finalement Zetchi a fini par abandonner la piste du Portugais en raison de certaines interférences.

Prof. Renzo Riccardo Cavalieri Graduand Emanuele Salvati Matriculation number 868763 Academic Year 2019 / 2020 Abstract The focus of this thesis is the recent naturalization of foreign players in China, that led to the debut of the first football player without Chinese ancestry in the Chinese national team. The first chapter is an introduction to the naturalization in football in all its aspects. I will first clarify concepts such as nation, nationality, and citizenship. Then I will analyze the evolution of the regulations on eligibility, starting from the case of Italy in the thirties to arrive to the modern FIFA eligibility rules. In the second chapter, I will focus on the Chinese football condition. Starting with an overview of football history in the country, from the very first form of the game passing through the professionalization in the nineties to arrive at the recent years in which the Chinese Super League (CSL) developed very rapidly. The focus of the chapter is the relationship between Chinese authorities, football clubs and players and the reforms Chinese government is doing to reduce the gap with European football, trying to improve both CSL clubs and national team level. These reforms aim to turn China into a world elite competitor by 2050 mainly through promotion of football at the grassroots level and league development. The third chapter reviews the process of naturalization of foreign players that is now a widespread argument in the Chinese football circle, investigating reasons, advantages and drawbacks.
