Abstract

ABSTRACT For over 30 years, the men's UEFA Champions League (UCL) has showcased Europe's most elite and wealthiest football clubs. Debates surrounding the competition’s best individual performance rarely reach a consensus. However, one common response points towards Manchester United’s Roy Keane versus Juventus in the 1999 semi-final second leg. After falling 2-0 behind within 11 minutes, Keane almost single-handedly swung the game in United's favour as the final in Barcelona loomed. This article examines Keane's performance through the lens of a sociological case-study, drawing on the circumstances of his career and the match itself. Critical attention is given to sociologist Everett Hughes’ conceptual belief of turning points, which has been innovatively applied to a single event in this paper. The author argues that, while statistics have typically driven performance analysis, only a sociological interpretation of Keane's performance provides an accurately sophisticated comprehension of, arguably, one of the UCL’s greatest individual performances.

“全速前进的巴塞罗那”:罗伊·基恩1999年半决赛对阵尤文图斯的表现的社会建构

30多年来，欧洲男子冠军联赛(UCL)展示了欧洲最精英和最富有的足球俱乐部。围绕比赛最佳个人表现的争论很少能达成共识。然而，一个普遍的回应指向1999年半决赛次回合曼联的罗伊·基恩对阵尤文图斯。在11分钟内以0 - 2落后后，基恩几乎凭一己之力扭转了局面，曼联在巴塞罗那的决赛迫在眉睫。本文通过社会学案例研究的视角审视基恩的表现，借鉴他的职业生涯和比赛本身的情况。重点关注社会学家埃弗里特·休斯关于转折点的概念信念，并将其创新性地应用于单个事件。作者认为，虽然统计数据通常会推动表现分析，但只有对基恩的表现进行社会学解释，才能准确而复杂地理解这位可以说是伦敦大学联盟最伟大的个人表现之一。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
