  • Dos Locos Y Un Balón
    MANCHESTER CITY 2019-2020* DESCIFRANDO EL JUEGO DE PEP Albert Quera & Jordi Pérez Dos locos y un balón Valoración de los jugadores Antes de empezar con el análisis de los 44 partidos de la temporada 19/20 del Manchester City de Josep Guardiola vamos a hacer, en modo introducción, la valoración de los jugadores durante todos estos encuentros. Desde Ederson y Claudio Bravo hasta Agüero. Pasando por Rodri, Bernardo Silva y Gündogan. Vamos a ello: Ederson: (7,5), uno de los jugadores más importantes de la plantilla. Su juego de pies es ​ oro para el Manchester City. Claudio Bravo: (5,5), cumplidor. No ha contado con muchos minutos pero ha dejado ​ buenas actuaciones bajo palos. Cancelo: (5,5), no ha contado con muchos minutos. Pero cuando ha jugado, su profundidad ​ ha sido clave. Walker: (6,5), formando la línea de tres atrás ha sido una figura esencial. No es el mejor ​ lateral del mundo, para nada. Pero ha sido clave para Pep, y su posicionamiento interior ha sido importante para la presión tras pérdida y segundas jugadas. Otamendi: (5,5), su rendimiento tras la lesión de Laporte ha sido muy bajo. Imprecisiones, ​ errores de posicionamiento y mala lectura del juego a nivel defensivo. Fernandinho: (6,5), cumplidor. Fuera de su posición, siendo central, ha dejado grandes ​ actuaciones. Defensivamente muy sólido. Stones: (5), pocos minutos. Central que ha dejado mucho que desear a nivel defensivo. No ​ ha contado lo suficiente para Pep. Laporte: (8), el segundo mejor jugador de la plantilla. Y sino es el mejor, el más importante. ​ Una figura capital en defensa, sin ir más lejos, el bajo rendimiento del City en defensa viene tras su lesión.

  • The Gffn 100 2018: Ten to Watch
    GFFN 100 2018 THE GFFN 100: AN INTRODUCTION Welcome to another edition of the Get French Football News 100. Published at the end of ev- ery year by GFFN, the guide you are reading is as detailed and comprehensive a set of player profiles as one is likely to find, especially in English. Some of these players are well-known, even to the casual fan, and though they have been the subjects of countless profiles, we hope that you can gain a bit more depth in knowledge of their stories. This is especially true with the likes of Neymar and his Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Kylian Mbappé. In 2018, neither was ever far from the limelight in a year in which France won the World Cup, thanks in large part to the teen- age sensation. Neymar may have garnered the odd headline for less positive reasons, but both remain as compelling off the pitch as they do on it. It is thus no surprise to see Mbappé top the rankings again; it does not take much objectivity to realise his immense talent and potential, but the present document is much more than a narra- tive driven by celebrity. We have watched the matches that do not generate headlines, seen the teams that are rarely on television, especially internationally, and artfully blended statistical anal- ysis with old-fashioned scouting to create what we feel is a definitive guide to the professionals currently plying their trade in France. If some rankings seem high, or low, read the profiles before making a snap decision as to our choices; this is a meritocracy.

    No. 191 BACK IN PLAY No.191 • July/August 2020 • July/August No.191 EDITORIAL Theodore Theodoridis UEFA General Secretary A MOMENT TO SAVOUR, A TIME TO REFLECT fter the unprecedented hiatus brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, football is steadily coming back to life. This edition of UEFA Direct reports on the imminent return of our elite competitions, Aassessing the obstacles that the European football community has had to overcome together to successfully rewrite UEFA’s competitions calendar – both for the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons. UEFA’s return to play, with matches set to kick off in August, represents a milestone moment and the first chance to take stock of our journey to date through an extraordinary period. The COVID-19 pandemic’s outbreak in the spring brought European football to a standstill, and there was understandable concern that UEFA would not be able to finish its 2019/20 club competition season. Other major competitions, such as UEFA EURO 2020 and Women’s EURO 2021, were postponed for a year. The outlook was uncertain, and the ramifications were difficult to predict. As our president underlines in his interview on pages 6–7, despite these challenges, UEFA maintained a steadfast belief that better times would come. Now, following a great deal of hard work, cooperation and compromise behind the scenes, we are ready to deliver a match schedule in August and beyond that will bring the latest club competitions to completion, and set the 2020/21 competition campaign in motion. The moment when ‘live’ UEFA action returns to the spotlight will doubtless be one to savour, offering hope and joy to football lovers young and old.
