Well, there were several talking points in this exciting match, but unfortunately they

had several decisions to make that probably had an effect on the result, and I’m sorry to say I don’t believe he got all of them right. City took the lead after only five minutes, and they looked comfortable defending it. Towards the end of the first half, though, their captain Morgan was lucky to stay on the pitch after a challenge on the United striker Mumford. It could easily have caused a serious injury, but luckily Mumford was able to continue after treatment. The referee awarded a free kick, but in my opinion, he should have sent Morgan off. In the second half, it was in fact a United player who was sent off. The challenge by the French defender Chinon didn’t look as bad as Morgan’s earlier one, but the referee showed him the red card. The game seemed to be City’s to win. But playing the rest of the match with only ten men seemed to make United play harder, and finally Mumford himself managed to get a late equaliser. So maybe that was some kind of justice.

their very expensive star player Romero hadn’t missed a goal in the last minute. He’s now scored only twice since joining the club nearly six months ago. Are United starting to regret paying so much for him? 1 2 3 4

Reading 1 Read the text about leadership. Five sentences are missing from the text. Show which gap they should go in by writing the correct letters (A–E). A Of course there are personal qualities that are needed. B One thing, though, is true in all fields, at any level. C There’s a difference between leading and managing. D This is not the same as being popular. E But the two fields have many similarities. Until recently, business experts looking for examples of leadership tended to focus on great army leaders or politicians of the past; the comparison between business and sport was often missed. (1) _ After all, if you’re competing in markets, what better place is there to look for leadership qualities than in professional sport, which is all about competition? In both business and in sport, the simple answer to the question of what makes a great leader is: success. How to achieve it is rather less simple. (2) _ You have to be confident, determined and so on. But there isn’t one type of person who fits every situation and these personal qualities are not enough in themselves.

3. ___ Leadership is about establishing a direction for the group to follow. Management is more about

   keeping them going in that direction. Leadership without management results in rushing towards new goals without worrying about how you reach them. In contrast, management without leadership means that everything tends to stay as it is. You need to change between the two according to the situation.

4. ___ What great leaders do is express their personal qualities through others. They do this through

   teamwork, understanding and communication, and the more you develop these skills, the more successful you will be. It’s also true that, despite what people say about ‘born leaders’, these skills can be learnt. Good leaders have to express what the team or organisation wants. (5) ___ Some team members will always be unhappy if a new manager turns everything around and changes systems that everyone is used to. But if it’s clear to everyone that the success of the team is the final aim, they will put their worries to one side, and when success comes they will disappear. 5 10 15 2 Decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE. 1 Experts have tended to find examples of leadership in fields other than sport. TRUE   FALSE 2 All great leaders are likely to be the same kind of people. TRUE   FALSE 3 In some situations, leadership is more important than management. TRUE   FALSE 4 In some fields, leaders can succeed without team-working skills. TRUE   FALSE 5 New managers sometimes want to introduce big changes.
