This was revealed from the UEFA report titled "European club football Landscape" which was recorded by The Guardian. "English clubs have a balance which is estimated at 56 percent debt (clubs) in Europe," wrote UEFA said in the report.


Debt incurred English League clubs have reached the stage of worrying. The debt already exceeds half the club's debts in Europe.
This was revealed from the UEFA report titled "European club football Landscape" which was recorded by The Guardian. "English clubs have a balance which is estimated at 56 percent debt (clubs) in Europe," wrote UEFA said in the report.
Note that analyzed European clubs since the 2007-08 season shows there are 732 clubs that are already licensed by UEFA. Of this amount, debt 18 Premier League clubs in the UK reached nearly 4 billion euros or more than Rp 50 trillion. This figure is four times the amount of debt the clubs of Spain, which ranked second largest debtor.
Because only 18 teams called the Premier League, then the actual debt incurred by the English clubs must be more than that. Two clubs that are not listed by UEFA West Ham United and Portsmouth. Both of them did not enter the UEFA license because of financial difficulties and danger involved bankruptcy.
It is an irony for English soccer's most lots actually make money from television broadcasting rights in other countries than the league. The average number of the club's revenue is estimated at 18 122 million euros, or USD 1.55 trillion. Bundesliga ranks second with an average income of 79 million euros (nearly USD 1 trillion). The problem for English clubs is their courage to borrow money in a much larger number than 714 other teams.
"More than half of the debt (English Premier League club) associated with the club (or the company on my level) resulting from the increase so that more and more purchasing power to buy more burden, rather than support the investment or shopping club," the report said.
UEFA General Secretary, Gianni Infantino, feel concerned about this problem. He reveals, as much as 47 percent of the debt incurred by elite European clubs. The debt resulted in a decrease in revenue in 2008. MU, for example, bears the burden of credit amounting to 716 million pounds, or almost USD 11 trillion. Great debt is also borne by the Liverpool and Spanish giants Real Madrid.
UEFA must take responsibility for maintaining the continuity of life these clubs. "Examples of Portsmouth showed something had to be taken to help the clubs to be more durable," says Infantino.
"Premiership clubs have higher incomes, but really worried if they see their massive debt. If it is used for the expense of the players, problems arise when you can not borrow any more money and could no longer pay the debt," he said.
If this condition continues, the English Premier League teams at risk of losing their right to play in the European arena. Like never confirmed Uefa president, Michel Platini, started the season 2012/13, only the clubs which are financially sound may join European tournaments. (GRD)

Gerrard felt the weight of the burden of exactly how the England players

Being the backbone of the England team into a tough task for midfielder Steven Gerrard. A task that is sometimes passed by the failure of the most valuable experience.
The failure occurred at the 2006 World Cup quarterfinals in Germany. Digadang-gadang Gerrard who can score goals on penalties have failed. England eventually lost.
Gerrard felt the weight of the burden of exactly how the England players. However, there are valuable lessons that he learned from the experience. This is the experience that he told FIFA.com:
+ Steven, you failed to kick a penalty when England lost on penalties in Germany versus Portugal in 2006. What did you learn from that experience? - I think, with penalties of failure, I would probably arrange them on a subsequent occasion, a little memolorkan time. I will practice harder to make sure I know what I would do. It all happened so quickly in 2006 and I think after doing a lot of penalties, I should take more time square off.
+ What comes to mind when you step into the white dot? - There is a full sense of pressure, but that's what we do, we try to handle the pressure. I failed in 2006, so if I deal with this situation again, I will try to cope with stress much better.
Yet, it is difficult, unlike the usual penalty kick in the practice. You bear the greater responsibility. You know all the spectators watching and when you're tired, you're getting stressed out, that's when mistakes happen and it happened to me in 2006.
+ You say tired during a penalty shootout. How the extra time? What happens to your body and mind when the game reaches this stage? - You are very tired. You are expending energy, you want the game to stop but you have to stay focused until the end. It is very difficult because this stage so quickly that after 90 minutes you lose energy.
(Extra time) is when the mistakes come. When body and mind is tired, you see the team make mistakes, the game slows down. Actually, both teams did not want to lose, so that each person a bit tense.
+ Now the World Cup in 2010. What stands out from the qualifying party? - I think not only one moment, but you should see all the parties where we were very consistent.We became a team that is very hard to beat and we looked impressive, but the most important thing is that we can maintain the hard work for a better World Cup ahead. We still face a long road.
+ What are your views about (coach) Fabio Capello who will handle the team in his first World Cup? - He created a lot of ability in the team. He was a champion, he has seabrek extraordinary experience and enjoy a number of critical success. He was the champion of mental transfer into the team, so we'll be in a better position in the tournament.
+ What are your responsibilities within the team? What Fabio Capello requested from you? - Coach wants me to play freely, to express myself. I start from the left, but he did not want me to stay in one position. He wanted me to go around and cause problems for the enemy to go the area where I should not be there.
+ You become captain of the club in Liverpool, but vice-captain alongside the British. What is the difference between being captain and not? Is the pressure is reduced? - Not at all, (it) exactly the same. When I play for England, when I'm not a captain, I still do it like I'm the captain and I tried to play and give examples so that I can help my team-mates and doing things right. Thus, although both the captain and it boasts, you play exactly the same between the captain and no.
+ British Society wants this team to win the World Cup. Is it a heavy burden on your shoulders?- As a player, you have to face a lot of expectations and pressure of playing alongside the British. Supporters and very much hope to the state media and a lot of hope for us. It is important to us, as a player, overcome with the best we can.
+ Some people say that the British group in South Africa would be easier than other teams.What's your opinion? - We are pleased with the lottery group and we are very confident that we can qualify from the group but at the same time we must show respect to other teams.
Each team has been fantastic so dapta to the World Cup team and our opponents in the third group (Algeria, Slovenia, and the United States) want to beat England. "We know they will play with their lives, so we need to ensure that we perform well to win.
+ When the match versus the U.S., you'll fight a number of players who played in the Premier League, such as Jozy Altidore at Hull City. What is your opinion about him and how the team will deal with it? - He's big, strong spearhead. He likes running from behind and cause problems for defenders through the strength and height, so defenders have to play well against England. We had a fantastic defender-defender in England, but we need to turn it off because if he had time and space, he will punish us.
+ Back to the past World Cup, where players are small when you become your favorite? - My favorite of all time is Zinedine Zidane, former captain of France. Permainnanya Look, the way she moves, the way he controlled the ball, how to feed, really special and much can you learn from this guy, he's a genius with the ball.
From England, there Gazza (Paul Gascoigne). I'm pleased with the talent of players capable of complete, and Gazza may be one of England's most complete player, so I favored them.
+ Paul Gascoigne playing in the World Cup Italy 1990 with Gary Lineker, who won the Golden Boot (top scorer) with six goals in Mexico in 1986. What is your view of him as a player and style of play? - Style fully about the game scored. He was in the right position, very close to the wicket, and scored many goals from the penalty box. To me, Gary Lineker is a legend. I grew up watching the game and I like it when he scored in 1986 and 1990. You have to lift his hat to him for scoring goals is the hardest thing to do in football and he has very good instincts in finding the right position and time.
