UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE - 2013/14 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS Amsterdam ArenA - Amsterdam Thursday 20 February 2014 21.05CET (21.05 local time) AFC Ajax Round of 32, First leg FC Salzburg Last updated 17/02/2014 14:00CET Match background 2 Legend 4 1 AFC Ajax - FC Salzburg Thursday 20 February 2014 - 21.05CET, (21.05 local time) Match press kit Amsterdam ArenA, Amsterdam Match background AFC Ajax will look to get the better of FC Salzburg again when they meet in the UEFA Europa League round of 32, with the Austrian side yet to win a game in the Netherlands. Previous meetings • The teams are meeting for the fifth time, with Ajax yet to lose in four fixtures against Salzburg: W2 D2 L0 (W1 D1 L0 in Amsterdam – W1 D1 L0 in Austria). Current Ajax coach Frank de Boer featured in all four matches. • The teams first met in the 1992/93 UEFA Cup first round, Louis van Gaal's Ajax beating Otto Barić's Salzburg 3-0 in Austria and 3-1 in Amsterdam. • The teams for that first Amsterdam encounter on 30 September 1992 were: Ajax: Menzo, Silooy, Blind, Jonk, F de Boer, Vink, Overmars, Kreek (Petersen 69), Pettersson, Bergkamp, Davids (Van Loen 60). Salzburg: Konrad, Lainer, Weber, Garger, Reisinger, Hristic (Ilsanker 69), Jurčević, Willfurth, Sabitzer (Ergović 63), Feiersinger, Stadler. • The same coaches were in charge when the sides drew 0-0 in Salzburg and 1-1 in Amsterdam in the group stage of the 1994/95 UEFA Champions League, which Ajax went on to win. • The teams for the Amsterdam encounter on 2 November 1994 were: Ajax: Van der Sar, Reiziger, Seedorf, Rijkaard, F de Boer, R de Boer, Finidi George, Davids, Kluivert (Kanu 57), Litmanen, Overmars (Van Vossen 46). Salzburg: Konrad, Lainer, Kocijan, Mladenović (Hütter 62), Fürstaller, Winklhofer, Jurčević, Artner (Hassenhüttl 83), Pfeifenberger, Feiersinger, Hiden. Match background • In total, Ajax have played nine games against Austrian sides with the record W4 D3 L2 (W3 D1 L1 at home – W1 D2 L1 in Austria). That lone home defeat was a 3-0 forfeit in a 1989/90 UEFA Cup meeting with FK Austria Wien, which was abandoned in extra time after crowd trouble. • Salzburg's eight encounters with Dutch clubs ended W2 D3 L3 (W2 D1 L1 – W0 D2 L2 in the Netherlands). • Ajax are in the round of 32 for the sixth successive season. Of those five previous ties they won two and lost three, including the most recent two – against Manchester United FC in 2011/12 and FC Steaua Bucureşti last season. • Ajax are unbeaten in four home games (W3 D1) since a 4-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund in the 2012/13 UEFA Champions League group stage. • Salzburg and Tottenham Hotspur FC came through this season's group stage with 100% records. Only three other sides have won all six of their group matches since the advent of the UEFA Europa League: Salzburg (2009/10), FC Zenit (2010/11) and RSC Anderlecht (2011/12). • Salzburg have won all four of their UEFA Europa League away games this term. Team facts • Ajax are one of nine former UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League winners, and nine domestic champions in the round of 32. • Salzburg had 44 shots on target in the group stage, four more than their nearest rivals FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk. • Salzburg and Tottenham were the highest scorers in the group stage with 15 goals apiece. • Salzburg's Hungarian goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi and Ajax's Danish defender Christian Poulsen were team-mates at Liverpool FC from 2011–12, though Gulácsi spent much of that period out on loan and never made a senior appearance for the Reds. • The UEFA Europa League's 2,500th goal was registered by Salzburg's Senegal midfielder Sadio Mané as he rounded off the scoring in a 3-0 home win against Esbjerg fB on matchday six. Coach information • Since taking charge in December 2010, Frank de Boer has led Ajax to three consecutive titles in the Netherlands. He and twin brother Ronald came through the ranks at the club, where Frank de Boer won five league titles as well as the 1991/92 UEFA Cup and 1994/95 UEFA Champions League. The 112-times capped defender lifted another domestic title in Spain with FC Barcelona, later playing for Rangers FC and Galatasaray AŞ before moving into coaching. • De Boer celebrates his 44th birthday on 15 May 2014, the day after this season's UEFA Europa League final. • De Boer is one of three coaches in the round of 32 who have won this competition as players, along with PAOK FC's 2 AFC Ajax - FC Salzburg Thursday 20 February 2014 - 21.05CET, (21.05 local time) Match press kit Amsterdam ArenA, Amsterdam Huub Stevens (PSV Eindhoven, 1978) and Juventus's Antonio Conte (Juventus 1993). • Salzburg coach Roger Schmidt agreed a two-year extension to his contract in December, binding him to the club until the summer of 2016. A lower-league midfielder in his native Germany, he combined football with work as an apprentice toolmaker before studying mechanical engineering. He moved into coaching with Delbrücker SC, SC Preussen Münster and SC Paderborn 07 before signing for Salzburg in 2012. Round of 16 • The winners of this tie will meet Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC or FC Basel 1893 in the round of 16, with the second leg at home. • Ajax met Maccabi Tel-Aviv in the 2004/05 UEFA Champions League group stage, winning 3-0 at home but going down 2-1 in Israel. They came across Basel in the second round of the 1970/71 European Champion Clubs' Cup, prevailing 3-0 at home and 2-1 away en route to winning the competition. • Salzburg have never met either of their potential opponents. 3 AFC Ajax - FC Salzburg Thursday 20 February 2014 - 21.05CET, (21.05 local time) Match press kit Amsterdam ArenA, Amsterdam Legend Competitions Club competitions National team competitions UCL: UEFA Champions League EURO: UEFA European Football Championship ECCC: European Champion Clubs' Cup WC: FIFA World Cup UEL: UEFA Europa League CONFCUP: FIFA Confederations Cup UCUP: UEFA Cup FRIE: Friendly internationals UCWC: UEFA Cup Winners' Cup U21FRIE: Under-21 friendly internationals SCUP: UEFA Super Cup U21: UEFA European Under-21 Championship UIC: UEFA Intertoto Cup U17: UEFA Under-17 Championship ICF: Inter-Cities Fairs Cup U16: UEFA European Under-16 Championship U19: UEFA Under-19 Championship U18: UEFA European Under-18 Championship WWC: FIFA Women's World Cup WEURO: UEFA European Women's Championship Competition stages Other abbreviations F: Final GS: Group stage (aet): After extra time pens: Penalties GS1: First group stage GS2: Second group stage No.: Number og: Own goal 3QR: Third qualifying round R1: First round ag: Match decided on away P: Penalty R2: Second round R3: Third round goals agg: Aggregate R4: Fourth round PR: Preliminary round Pld: Matches played AP: Appearances SF: Semi-finals QF: Quarter-finals Pos.: Position Comp.: Competition R16: round of 16 QR: Qualifying round Pts: Points D: Drawn R32: Round of 32 1QR: First qualifying round R: Sent off (straight red card) DoB: Date of birth 1st: first leg 2QR: Second qualifying Res.: Result ET: Extra Time round sg: Match decided by silver GA: Goals against 2nd: second leg FT: Final tournament goal t: Match decided by toss of a PO: Play-off ELITE: Elite round coin Rep: Replay 3rdPO: Third-place play-off GF: Goals for W: Won PO - FT: Play-off for Final GS-FT: Group stage – final gg: Match decided by golden Y: Booked Tournament tournament goal L: Lost Y/R: Sent off (two yellow Nat.: Nationality cards) N/A: Not applicable Statistics -: Denotes player substituted +: Denotes player introduced *: Denotes player sent off +/-: Denotes player introduced and substituted Squad list D: Disciplinary *: Misses next match if booked S: Suspended QUAL: All UEFA qualifiers UEL: Current season total UEFA Europa League appearances from the group stage onwards prior to the current matchday UEL: Total appearances in the UEFA Europa League, group stage to final only UEFA: All-time total appearances in UEFA club competition including qualifying Disclaimer: Although UEFA has taken all reasonable care that the information contained within this document is accurate at the time of publication, no representation or guarantee (including liability towards third parties), expressed or implied, is made as to its accuracy, reliability or completeness.

  • Microstructural Analysis of Football Texts

    Microstructural Analysis of Football Texts

    Journal of Literature, Languages and Linguistics www.iiste.org ISSN 2422-8435 An International Peer-reviewed Journal DOI: 10.7176/JLLL Vol.55, 2019 Microstructural Analysis of Football Texts Sade Olagunju PhD English Unit, Department of General Studies, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, P.M.B. 4000, Ogbomoso, Nigeria Abstract The paper investigates the microstructural elements in football texts. It explores the interclausal semantic relations of texts using van Dijk 1980 semantic macrostructures and Olagunju 2014 thoretical notion of microstructures of texts. Microstructural analysis involves not only the understanding of the sentential configuration of texts written separately but making connective inferences between the sentences and also integrating all sentences into a global representation of the meaning of the discourse. Microstructural analysis of text has to do with interclausal semantic relations which in turn realise the global semantic structure or macrostructures of text. van Dijk (1980:14) states that ‘the function of microstructure is to organise complex (micro) information. Without them we would only be able to have a large number of links between information units of the local level and not to be able to form larger chunks that have their proper meaning and function’. DOI : 10.7176/JLLL/55-08 Publication date : April 30 th 2019 Macrostructures and Microstructures of Texts The term macrostructure was introduced by van Dijk in 1973 and further developed into psychological notion of discourse comprehension by van Dijk and Kintsch (1983:242). Macrostructures, which are created by applying macrorules such as deletion, generalization and construction to a sequence of propositions derived from a text are global textual structures that give global meaning.

    Introduction FC Barcelona celebrate victory at the Stade de France. The 2006 UEFA Champions League victors have no problems with the rulings on ‘locally-trained’ players introduced for the 2006/07 season. PHOTO: FOTO-NET Season 2006 – 2007 Contents Season President’s Message 3 2006 / 2007 1st Qualifying Round Results 4 2nd Qualifying Round Results 6 3rd Qualifying Round Results 8 Group Stage 10 Regulations 14 2 President’s Message The fifteenth season of UEFA Champions League football is a special one. A year ago, we were celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first-ever final in the old ‘European Cup’ and using that as a good excuse for some nostalgic reading of the history books. This season, the emphasis is well and truly on the future - the future of the game and the future of the people who play it. I’m referring to the new chapter in the regulations of this competition, where four places in each squad are earmarked for ‘locally-trained players’. You might not think that this is a major change. But, as time goes by, more places will be reserved for them and the 2006/07 campaign marks the first step in what I think is a very right direction. It was a subject we had discussed in great depth within our Executive Committee, within all sectors of the game and with people in political circles. And it is a decision which has my wholehearted support. Fortunately, I am by no means the only one who believes that talent needs to be developed and not just bought.

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the discourse analysis of football texts. The choice of football texts from the Nigerian newspaper was motivated by my personal interest in football and the popularity soccer has gained in recent years across the world. The study covers the football texts selected from Complete Sports which dominated the Nigerian sports’ news market. The largest number of sports lovers across the country source their information on sports most especially football news from the selected newspaper based on its popularity and accurate reporting of sporting activities the world over.

Ansary and Babai 2005 discourse Generic Structure Potential was applied to unmask the discourse structure of football text in newspapers and it contextual configuration. Talking about the discourse Generic Structure Potential (GSP), it is the total structural resources of text genre. This organizational sequencing are classified as obligatory, optional and recursive elements. Each of these classifications serves specific purposes or functional role in the texts.
