Uefa Europa League UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE - 2013/14 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS (First leg: 1-1) Stadio Artemio Franchi - Florence Thursday 20 March 2014 ACF Fiorentina 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Juventus Round of 16, Second leg Last updated 17/03/2014 14:13CET Match background 2 Legend 4 1 ACF Fiorentina - Juventus Thursday 20 March 2014 - 19.00CET, (19.00 local time) Match press kit Stadio Artemio Franchi, Florence Match background ACF Fiorentina have the chance to avenge a 1990 UEFA Cup final defeat and dash Juventus's hopes of playing in the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League final at their own stadium as their round of 16 tie concludes. • The first leg more than lived up to its billing, Arturo Vidal (3) putting Juventus in front then heading against the bar before the break. However, substitute Mario Gomez struck a potentially crucial away goal for the Viola on 79 minutes. Previous meetings • The sides know each other well from Serie A – where they met on 9 March, the Bianconeri triumphing 1-0 – and also contested the final of the 1990 UEFA Cup. Dino Zoff's Juventus prevailed 3-1 on aggregate against Francesco Graziani's Viola, winning 3-1 in Turin before a 0-0 draw in the return, staged on neutral territory in Avellino. • The teams for that second leg on 16 May 1990, in which Juve's Pasquale Bruno was sent off in the 63rd minute, were: Fiorentina: Landucci, Dell'Oglio, Volpecina, Dunga, Pin, Battistini, Nappi (Zironelli 72), Kubík, Buso, R Baggio, Di Chiara. Juventus: Tacconi, Napoli, De Agostini, Galia, Bruno, Alessio, Aleinikov, Rui Barros (Avallone 72), Casiraghi (Rosa 78), Marocchi, Schillachi. • This is the 30th all-Italian match in UEFA competition; the previous 29 fixtures have yielded 15 home wins and five away victories. Match background • The finals against Juventus were Fiorentina's only previous encounters with Serie A opponents in European competition. • Juventus have met Italian opponents in 12 previous UEFA games with the record W3 D5 L4 (W0 D2 L3 away from home). These results also include a 0-0 draw against AC Milan in the 2002/03 UEFA Champions League final at Old Trafford – Milan won 3-2 on penalties. • Fiorentina came through the group stage unbeaten (W5 D1), having eliminated Grasshopper Club on away goals in the play-offs. They are one of four qualifiers from the group stage who remain unbeaten after nine games, along with FC Salzburg, Olympique Lyonnais and AZ Alkmaar. They are unbeaten in four European home fixtures (W3 D1). • Fiorentina last reached the round of 16 in this competition in 2007/08, beating Everton FC on penalties en route to a semi-final exit, also on spot kicks, against Rangers FC. • Despite prevailing in the 1961 European Cup Winners' Cup final, Fiorentina share with FC Barcelona and Hamburger SV the unusual distinction of having lost finals in all three major UEFA club competitions: the European Cup (1957, v Real Madrid CF), European Cup Winners' Cup (1962, v Club Atlético de Madrid) and UEFA Cup (1990, v Juventus). • Juventus are unbeaten in their last six away games in this competition (W3 D3), a run which stretches back to a 4-1 loss at Fulham FC in the second leg of 2009/10 round of 16 – the last time they reached this stage of the competition. Team facts • Fiorentina midfielder Alberto Aquilani – who spent 2010/11 on loan from Liverpool FC at Juventus – made his 50th UEFA club competition appearance in the first leg in Turin. Aquilani and Fiorentina team-mate David Pizarro played alongside injured Juventus striker Mirko Vučinić at AS Roma from 2006 to 2009. • Pablo Osvaldo – who scored the 2,600th UEFA Europa League goal in Juve's 2-0 win at Trabzonspor AŞ in the round of 32 – played for Fiorentina from 2007 to 2009. The forward was sent off for an over-exuberant celebration after scoring a late winner for the Viola against Juventus in March 2008. • Giorgio Chiellini joined Juventus in 2005 following a season at Fiorentina. • On loan from AC Milan, Fiorentina forward Alessandro Matri is up against his old side having left Juventus in the summer after two and a half seasons in Turin. • Juventus forward Fabio Quagliarella played for Fiorentina in Serie C2 at the start of his career, scoring his first league goal while on loan from Torino FC in autumn 2002. • Juventus reserve goalkeeper Marco Storari played for Fiorentina on loan from AC Milan in 2008/09, though he played in just one league game and another in the Coppa Italia; both ended in 1-0 defeats. • Spain and Italy are the best represented nations in the round of 16 with three clubs apiece. • Fiorentina have never lost a UEFA Europa League match (excluding qualifying), the only one of the competition's 2 ACF Fiorentina - Juventus Thursday 20 March 2014 - 19.00CET, (19.00 local time) Match press kit Stadio Artemio Franchi, Florence 156 participants to lay claim to that distinction. • Juventus's Andrea Pirlo has made 124 UEFA club competition appearances, more than any other outfield player in the round of 32. • Juventus Stadium will stage this season's UEFA Europa League final. Juventus can thus become the third side since the UEFA Cup was first decided with a one-off match in 1997/98 to compete in the showpiece at their home arena. Feyenoord triumphed in Rotterdam in 2002/03, but Sporting Clube de Portugal lost the 2004/05 final in Lisbon. • Juventus (1977, 1990, 1993) are one of six former UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League winners in the round of 16, along with Tottenham Hotspur FC (1972, 1984), Sevilla FC (2006, 2007), Valencia CF (2004), SSC Napoli (1989) and FC Porto (2003, 2011). • Juventus are one of three sides who have won the competition three times, along with FC Internazionale Milano (1990/91, 1993/94, 1997/98) and Liverpool FC (1972/73, 1975/76, 2000/01). Coach information • Fiorentina coach since June 2012, Vincenzo Montella is best remembered as a striker for AS Roma, where he was known as L'Aeroplanino (the Little Aeroplane) because of his modest stature and trademark goal celebration. He won the 2000/01 Serie A title and two Coppa Italias with Roma before moving on to coach their youth team. After holding the reins at the Giallorossi and Calcio Catania, he led Fiorentina to fourth place in his first term in charge. • Antonio Conte has led Juventus to back-to-back Italian titles since taking charge at his old club in 2011. The 44-year- old started out as a midfielder at home-town team US Lecce, then represented Juventus from 1991 to 2004, winning five Serie A titles, the 1992/93 UEFA Cup and the 1995/96 UEFA Champions League among a host of other trophies. He returned as a coach after spells in charge of US Arezzo, AS Bari, Atalanta BC and AC Siena. • Conte is the only coach left in the competition who won the UEFA Cup as a player. Shoot-out record • Fiorentina's record in five UEFA penalty shoot-outs is W3 L2: 2-4 (home) v Rangers FC, 2007/08 UEFA Cup semi-finals 4-2 (away) v Everton FC, 2007/08 UEFA Cup round of 16 4-3 (home) v FC Groningen, 2007/08 UEFA Cup first round 3-1 (home) v Club Atlético de Madrid, 1989/90 UEFA Cup first round 1-3 (away) v Boavista FC, 1986/87 UEFA Cup first round • Juventus's record in six UEFA club competition shoot-outs is W4 L2: 2-3 (neutral) v AC Milan, 2002/03 UEFA Champions League final 4-2 (neutral) v AFC Ajax, 1995/96 UEFA Champions League final 3-1 (home) v Real Madrid CF, 1986/87 European Champion Clubs' Cup second round 4-2 (neutral) v AA Argentinos Juniors, 1985 European/South American Cup final 1-4 (home) v Widzew Łódź, 1980/81 UEFA Cup second round 3-0 (home) v AFC Ajax, 1977/78 European Champion Clubs' Cup quarter-finals 3 ACF Fiorentina - Juventus Thursday 20 March 2014 - 19.00CET, (19.00 local time) Match press kit Stadio Artemio Franchi, Florence 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

    Approfondimenti e curiosità statistiche Giornata 13 Serie A TIM 2020-21 19 - 20 Dicembre 2020 19/12/2020 15:00 - ARTEMIO FRANCHI FIORENTINA Vs HELLAS VERONA La Fiorentina ha raccolto un punto nelle ultime tre sfide di Serie A TIM contro l'Hellas Verona, incassando sei reti, dopo averne conquistati sette in altrettanti precedenti (2V, 1N), subendo appena un gol. La Fiorentina è la squadra contro cui l'Hellas Verona ha ottenuto più successi in Serie A TIM (14) e quella contro cui ha segnato più gol (64). È dal dicembre 2013 che la Fiorentina non riesce a battere l'Hellas Verona al Franchi in Serie A TIM (due pareggi e due sconfitte negli ultimi quattro incroci a Firenze): 4-3 per gli allora uomini di Montella, grazie anche all’unica doppietta realizzata nel massimo campionato da Borja Valero. L'Hellas Verona ha vinto le ultime due partite fuori casa: solo una volta ha infilato tre successi consecutivi in trasferta in Serie A TIM, nel dicembre 1984 con Osvaldo Bagnoli alla guida. Nessuna squadra ha ottenuto meno punti della Fiorentina in Serie A TIM da inizio novembre ad oggi (solo tre per i viola in sette partite, come il Genoa). I sette gol dell'Hellas Verona in trasferta in questo campionato sono arrivati da cinque giocatori diversi (più le autoreti di Calabria e Lazzari): quattro delle cinque reti sono state siglate da centrocampisti. Nella rosa attuale della Fiorentina ci sono tre giocatori con un passato nell'Hellas Verona (Amrabat, Caceres ed Eysseric), mentre nella rosa dell’Hellas ci sono quattro giocatori con un passato in viola (Ceccherini, Di Carmine, Benassi e Kalinic).

    Matchday 37 Serie A TIM 2020-21 15 - 17 May 2021 15/05/2021 15:00 - LUIGI FERRARIS GENOA Vs ATALANTA Atalanta have lost just one of their last 10 Serie A TIM matches against Genoa (3-1 in December 2018), earning seven wins and two draws in this period. After a 0-0 draw in the reverse fixture, Genoa could remain unbeaten in both league matches in a season against Atalanta for the first time since 2014/15 (2-2 in the first fixture and 4-1 in the second), when Gian Piero Gasperini was the Nerazzurri coach. Atalanta have won four of their last five Serie A TIM away games against Genoa (L1), as many as they had in their previous 31 away league matches at Genoa in the competition beforehand. Since Davide Ballardini joined Genoa (21st December, 2020), the Rossoblu have picked up 32 points in 23 league games; they would be ninth in Serie A TIM table in this timeframe, with just one fewer point than Sassuolo and two behind Roma. In 2021, Atalanta have picked up 53 points in Serie A TIM (W16 D5 L2); only Inter (55) have earned more this calendar year so far. Atalanta have won 10 Serie A TIM games away from home this campaign, and could equal their record of league away wins in a single top-flight season (11 in Serie A TIM in 2019/20). Atalanta’s Gian Piero Gasperini began his Serie A TIM managerial career with Genoa in August 2007. Indeed, the Rossoblu are the team with which he has taken charge of in the most games (232) as a manager in the competition.

  • UEFA: a Successful Pan-European Organization During the Cold War
    Athens Journal of Sports - Volume 7, Issue 1, March 2020 – Pages 55-76 UEFA: A Successful Pan-European Organization during the Cold War By Ana Bela Nunes* & Nuno Valério± The purpose of this paper is to analyse the formation of the Union Européenne de Football / European Football Association (UEFA) in the mid-1950s and its evolution during the period of the cold war. Post-World War II Europe was characterized for its division into two zones from an economic and political point of view. Countries from the two zones met in international organizations at the world level and created separate specifically European organizations for cooperation in several economic, political and cultural fields. However, there was an almost complete absence of specifically pan-European organizations bringing together countries from the two zones. The only significant exception was UEFA, which, from the mid-1950s onwards, succeeded in organizing regular football competitions between national and club teams from the whole continent without any significant problems, regardless of the different economic and political systems. This paper will discuss the reasons for such a remarkable achievement. Keywords: UEFA, Europe, cold war, economic and political systems, cooperation Introduction Post-World War II Europe was characterized for its division into two zones from an economic and political point of view. On one side were countries with market economies and democratic or right-wing authoritarian political regimes. On the other side were countries with centrally planned economies and communist political regimes.
