Jurgen Klopp is a former German player who is now the manager of Liverpool since 2015. Klopp is one of the best managers right now in world football. He implements Gegenpressing, where the team, after losing possession, immediately attempts to win back possession, rather than falling back to regroup. He has described his sides as playing “heavy metal” football, in reference to their pressing and high attacking output.
Jurgen Klopp retired in 2001 from professional football after spending most of his playing career at Mainz 05. He was then appointed as the club’s manager and helped them to secure promotion to Bundesliga. He later signed for Borussia Dortmund and won the Bundesliga for two successive seasons 2010–11 and 2011–12 and also got them to the UEFA Champions League final, losing to Bayern Munich.
Klopp took over Liverpool in 2015 and has made them one of the top teams in the world with their high-intensity attacking display. He won the Premier League and the Champions League with the Reds. This season Liverpool has been struggling in the Premier League, however, Klopp has now managed to reach 1,000 matches as manager during Liverpool’s 0-0 draw with Chelsea.
Jurgen Klopp took a dig at legendary manager Arsene Wenger when he was questioned about his 1,000th match as manager ending in a draw. He said: “I heard Arsene Wenger lost his 1,000th game 6-0 so I’m really happy that didn’t happen. He was referring to the match which dates back to 2014 when a Chelsea side led by Jose Mourinho hammered a struggling Arsenal 6-0.
Arnaut Danjuma is all set to join Everton in the coming days. Villarreal have agreed a deal with the Premier League club for a straight loan until the end of the season with no option to buy.
The player has landed in England and has completed his medical tests for the move. And soon, an official statement confirming his arrival on a temporary deal will be put forth by the Merseyside club.
Arnaut Danjuma to join Everton on loan
Danjuma had interest from several other teams across Europe, but has decided to return to the Premier League. He previously featured for Bournemouth for two seasons before making the move to Spain.

Frank Lampard’s side has had to endure their worst start to a Premier League campaign in 22/23. They are currently second last in the table on goal difference, ahead of Southampton who are at the bottom of the table. They recently lost 2-0 to West Ham in a very important fixture, which has seen their hopes of climbing out of the bottom take a blow.
The Dutchman has had a decent return in La Liga so far, and had interest from several big clubs. But, with his move to Everton until the end of the season, he perhaps is not as indispensable under Quique Setien as under Unai Emery.
Duvan Zapata of Atalanta was considered one of the options for Everton this season as well. But, Atalanta did not want to let the Colombian leave on loan and they insisted on a permanent transfer. Everton, as a result, had to bow out of negotiations for the physical centre-forward.
This season, Arnaut Danjuma has scored six goals in 17 appearances across all competitions, in 813 minutes. And it will be interesting to see if he can help solve Everton’s goalscoring woes to help keep them in the top flight.
If you look closely at the Amazon Bestsellers in the smartphone category in India you will see OnePlus has done quite well with its variety of its models. Off late the Nord CE 2 Lite is doing quite well, however, we don’t know why the Nord CE 2 has been discontinued because it was really a good mid-range device.
OnePlus 10R seems to be India’s choice on Amazon
Still, as you know the models like OnePlus Nord 2T or OnePlus 10R are quite good in the mid-range segment and surprisingly both of them have made them into the Top 5 best-selling smartphones in India. The second place goes to Samsung M33 5G and Redmi A1 for the fifth but overall now Indians are going for the high-ticket price bracket.
Thanks to the recent Amazon Great Republic Day sale, these OnePlus phones received extraordinary discounts, especially the OnePlus 10R was available for only ₹29,999, a really lucrative pricing for a phone of its calibre. Sporting a Dimensity 8100 Max inside it, the OnePlus 10R is a powerful smartphone with a big 120Hz AMOLED display, decent 50MP cameras and good battery life.
As we said in our review of this OnePlus phone, this is a high-performer and one of the best in the price segment with good thermals, its display is a major pro of the smartphone. Again its design is not the best and its camera that sometimes struggles during the night but it’s very practical with an ultra-fast charging speed and clean OxygenOS that gets timely updates.
Youssoufa Moukoko has signed a new contract with Borussia Dortmund that extends his stay at the club until 2026. The youngster’s previous deal was set to expire at the end of the season, and he could have walked out as a free agent.
But despite the interest from Chelsea and Barcelona, he has signed an extension at the club that will keep him there for the next few years.
Youssoufa Moukoko signs new contract with Borussia Dortmund
“It’s no secret that I feel good at BVB,” Youssoufa Moukoko said. “I played in the youth teams, took my first steps in professional football here and now I’m ready to take the next step in my development together with the club. I feel the trust of the coaching staff and I have an environment here in which I can develop perfectly. Of course I was honored by the interest of other clubs, but ultimately it’s a heart decision. The fans have always supported me and I want to give something back to them and the club.”

The teenager graduated from the Dortmund academy and became their youngest goalscorer across several competitions upon making his debut.
This season, he has scored six and assisted six goals and has proved to be influential in big games, although he is only 18 years old. As a result, he is showing huge potential to develop into a star for the future.
While Dortmund could be open to bids from 2025, they have secured his services for the next two seasons by the looks of things. The Germany international could develop into a star if he can stay on the upward spiral, and keep delivering on a consistent basis. A couple years down the line, he could be the next big money sale for the black and yellow club.

Celtic right-back Josip Juranovic is set to join Union Berlin in the coming days. The two clubs have agreed a permanent transfer worth €8 million plus add-ons, and the medical tests are scheduled for today.
Once the player has completed the tests, he will sign the official contract and complete the formalities before being unveiled as a new signing for the club. The deal agreed between Juranovic and Union is until June 2027.
Josip Juranovic to join Union Berlin on a permanent transfer
Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has seemingly confirmed that the Croatian will be joining the Bundesliga club very soon:
“I can’t question Josip’s contribution, he has been fantastic. Josip has absolutely loved his time here and he will remember it fondly and he gets an opportunity to do further things in his career and for his family. He’s been given permission to travel and he’ll have a medical with Union Berlin.
Josip Juranović to Union Berlin, here we go confirmed after news revealed on Friday! 🚨🔴🇭🇷 #transfers
Understand Juranović will undergo the medical tests on Sunday. €8m fixed fee plus add-ons to Celtic.
“I assume that if all goes well then he’ll move. I think he’s been fantastic, I’ve loved working with Josip. He’s been a really popular member of the dressing room, he’s been a key contributor last year to what was a very, very important season, in the context of what had happened the season before.
“The fact we had to rebuild the team and get back to where we wanted to be in terms of champions then he was a key component of that. With all of the lads, I’m constantly in dialogue with them about themselves and their careers and people have to appreciate Josip is 28-years-old but he hasn’t really got to the highest level until late in his career.
“He just wants to maximise his opportunities, to be honest. I agree with him. That’s what all of us have in our careers, a limited time and we want to take opportunities. He leaves here as a fantastic player and as somebody who contributed to what was a really important season for us.”
Josip Juranovic was one of the standout performers for Croatia during the 2022 World Cup, and he will be directly replacing Julian Ryerson in the squad, who joined Dortmund until 2026.
Sony launched their premium SRS-XV900 X-Series Portable Wireless Party Speaker in India last month for ₹79,990 and retailed for ₹74,990 along with other bank offers across all major e-commerce stores and offline stores. It is a new-age prominent party speaker made for those who love to listen to loud music and often party with their friends!
It’s such a huge speaker that I couldn’t even lift it by myself as it’s a pretty heavy one, one of the largest tower speakers I have ever seen. At first, I was a bit tensed seeing such a huge package but found out that this is Sony’s one of the biggest speakers out there money can buy you.
This Sony SRS-XV900 looks and feels premium, with a new-age design that clicks pretty well and falls in line with its existing XP500 and XP700 speakers. However, this is the big daddy of all-party speakers both in terms of size and sound, the best among the Sony X series range. So, having used this for over two weeks, here is a complete review of this Portable Wireless X-Series Bluetooth Party speaker:
Sony SRS-XV900 Wireless Party Speaker Specifications
Omni Directional Party sound & Light: Feel the beat of your track in Every Corner with Powerful Omni Directional Sound
X Balanced Speaker: It provides power, clarity, and distortion-free sound
TV Sound Booster: Lets you enjoy the enhanced sound of audio-visual contents

Application Support: Personalized sound control via the Sony | Music Center app
USB Play and charge devices: Plug in and play music with USB connectivity, and you can use it to charge up your other devices
Design and Build Quality
Sony has made this SRS-XV900 Wireless Party Speaker look pretty unique in-line with its existing X-Series, but the tallest out of all with a 34.75-inch in height, yes it’s this big. However, taking 16-17 inches in length and width it can easily get accommodated into any room, say at the corners or even beside the TV in your living room.
Weighing about 26.6Kg you will need people to help you set this big boy up and once done, Sony has taken care of the rest. Like any other Sony product, there is no compromise in terms of build quality or design and though my room is not so big but in bigger rooms, and spaces, this Sony SRS-XV900 part speaker has its own aura.
Like other Sony party speakers, on this SRS-XV900 speaker too, the Japanese giant has beefed up the lighting to make the experience even more charismatic. Most of us could easily immerse ourselves in ambient light that fills our space with color with omnidirectional party lighting.
You can customize the lighting as per your mood, choice or ambience, easily from the big touch panel that’s above the speaker, again a unique aspect that Sony has implemented pretty well. The big touch panel lets you use core functionalities easily, with it you can change modes, settings, and lighting with just a touch.
Coming with wheels and a convenient built-in handle, the XV900 is ready to go where you go but yes you cannot carry it alone. Overall, this is a premium-looking party speaker that deserves its credit obviously and Sony has implemented this very well, beautifying your living space or anywhere you carry it party gets started!
Sound Quality
Coming to the sound quality of this Sony SRS-XV900 Wireless Party Speaker has this non-circular diaphragm that helps to provide more sound pressure and less distorted sound by maximizing the area of this X-Balanced speaker. On the other hand, the jet bass booster gives deep paunchy bass and there you have a total of 6 tweeters around the front, sides & rear for clarity.
Thanks to this design, the sound quality is intense which again gives a wholesome omnidirectional party sound, feel the groove with this Sony SRS-XV900. Also, I like how loud it can go, I mean really loud, mostly I had to listen it at 25% still I could hear the thumping bass and the clarity is just superb.
I listen to all kinds of music and listening Bollywood to pop or just calm & composed songs, I throwed all to the party speaker and it handled flawlessly. When turned on the lighting mode, which again you can customize very minutely from the app, you will see the lights flaring up as per the tune of the music and when you turn all lights off it looks magical.
Here’s a quick demo of the sound quality:
The Omni Directional Sound and Light can just amp up any party you wanna take this big boy with you, I have been listening to this speaker for weeks now and I have totally fallen in love with it. Though its huge, emits large sound but for a party or a big occasion this is the perfect solution and especially for big get-together, this speaker and its sound quality is just another level.
The woofer and tweeters are just high quality, no distortion of any sort which is I think the fundamentals of a Sony speaker. Also, if you are planning to pair this thing with your TV you can easily do so and thanks to TV Sound Booster, this lets you enjoy the enhanced sound of audio visual contents, such as live performance videos and movies.
Undoutedly, the Sony SRS-XV900 Wireless Party Speaker delivers flagship level sound quality and is a big daddy of all party speakers in the market currently.
Connectivity/Other Features
Now, on the connectivity front, you don’t have any remote of that sort, so, with the Sony Music Center app you can control everything including lighting, sound, battery and much more. It’s one of the finest app created works seamlessly both on Android or iOS and you can do each and everything using it.
Also, its very easy to connect the Sony SRS-XV900 party speaker, you tap on the Bluetooth button on the touch panel and it goes to pairing mode. However, the speaker is able to connect to your phone instantly using Google Fast Pair for Android or as the speaker goes to pairing mode it instantly shows up on your iPhone or iOS, seamlessly getting connected.
At once, this Sony SRS-XV900 can connect to two devices and you can play music from any of the one, having the integration with Spotify, playing music from it is very easy. Talking about other connectivity features, you have the option of plug in and play music via USB, also you can plug in a microphone, and sing.
Because this XV900 has two inputs, you can also plug in a guitar and use the speaker as an amp, so, even more performances or shows, this could be your playmate as well. The speaker has this Party Connect feature via Bluetooth that allows you to chain up to 100 compatible Sony Bluetooth speakers using the app and it works seamlessly, useful feature to have.
The best thing about this Sony SRS-XV900 speaker is that it is very versatile and modern, easy on connectivity end but if there would any smart assistant built-in that could have made it hands-free.
Battery Backup
At first I thought this party speaker can only be used when plugged-in, however, to my surprise, this Sony SRS-XV900 speaker has a huge battery inside. Sony claims it should last up to 25 hours but this depends totally upon the usage, personally I used it with or without the lighting, at former I got around 8-9 hours of battery life and without lighting it lasts very long almost as much as Sony claims.
If you run out of battery and you need to charge your phone or something you can even use the XV900 to charge up your other devices. Thanks to fast charging support, a quick 10-minute charge is all you need for up to 3 hours of music and also having Battery Care feature, even if you keep the speaker charging, this feature stops charging just before the battery reaches 100% to increase the health and life span of battery.
Verdict
Now, coming to the most important part of this review, should you buy this Sony SRS-XV900 Wireless Party Speaker and who is aimed towards? Well, as you probably know Sony always has a premium pricing of its products and considering its quality its worth paying for and this Sony SRS-XV900 is no exception, costing you about ₹75k, can be reduced with other offers though, still.
Considering its a pure Wireless Portable Party Speaker, it has its own advantages that makes the boss of this X-series party speakers. You can only consider this if you intend to use in a very big room or hall or any auditorium or public places, because its a huge one and an average consumer like you & me won’t probably use it for small homes.
It has one of the finest sound quality, very thumpy bass and could easily turn a normal party to a cool one with its unique Omni-Directional sound and lighting. Considering how easy it is to pair this Sony SRS-XV900 party speaker to other Sony speakers, the application of it is endless truly.
Well, if you are truly looking for a big daddy of all party speakers, this Sony SRS-XV900 Wireless Party Speaker is for you and is worth paying the extra just for its simplicity, sound and uniqueness.
Caglar Soyuncu could be set to join Atletico Madrid by the end of the January transfer window instead of the summer. The player reportedly wants to leave Leicester City as soon as possible, and the Rojiblancos are anticipating the transfer as best as they can.
The Turkiye international’s contract runs out in the summer, and he will be available to join as a free agent. However, Atletico want a boost for the second half of the season and want to sign the centre-back if they can reach an agreement with the Foxes soon.
Caglar Soyuncu expected to join Atletico Madrid in January
Other clubs such as Lyon and Freiburg are also keeping tabs on the situation, in case they can sign him. However, Soyuncu has his eyes set on a move to the Spanish capital.
Atlético Madrid and Wolves will be in contact again to close Felipe deal in the next 24/48 hours. It's crucial moment for the negotiation. 🟠 #WWFC
No doubts on Atléti next step: Çağlar Söyüncü deal to be anticipated in January, after agreement on free move for June. pic.twitter.com/2rcD3QxvZQ
As a result, it will be difficult for other clubs to come in and convince him unless they can offer similar terms. The 26-year-old has only played one Premier League game this season after falling out of favour at the King Power Stadium. And a move away seems like the only option for him now.
Atletico Madrid are planning to complete the sale of Felipe to Wolves very soon. And the arrival of Soyuncu could follow if the deal goes through.
Leicester City are eyeing Harry Souttar of Stoke City to replace Caglar Soyuncu in central defence. Alongside the Australian, they have also completed the signing of Victor Kristiansen to bolster their defense.
The giant ed-tech company Byjus is set to end its ties with major cricket boards like BCCI and ICC and with FIFA. However, they will be continuing their ties with ISL’s team Kerela Blasters till 2024.
Speaking on this topic, Byjus co-founder Gokulnath said that the ed-tech giant is one of the most valuable technology firms in India. Byjus delivers online classes to students all over India in various subjects. All over, there are a total of 150 million students out of which 25% belong out of India.

“BCCI received an email from Byju’s on 4.11.2022 requesting terminating the association post the recently concluded T20 World Cup. As per our discussions with Byju’s, we have asked them to continue the current arrangement and continue the partnership at least until 31.3.2023,” a note read by BCCI on this matter
The brand has been sponsoring India’s jersey since 2019 after OPPO. They signed a contract of USD 35 million and renewed their partnership in last July. After experiencing hypergrowth for two years, they are planning to moderate the services. Byjus is paying 10% more than what Oppo used to pay per match. Recently, they have laid off a lot of their employees just to cut additional expenses. They reduced up to 5% of their employees which is about 50000.

The company has an evaluation of $22 billion and the company was supposed to get public but the situation didn’t favour them. Their stocks were shaken up and the U.S Federal Reserve and central banks have raised their rates rapidly.
The CEO of Byjus Raveendran confirmed that the company will exit the big brands as a sponsor but will be continuing its journey with Kerela Blasters. They have been their principle sponsor since 2020. In the last six months, BCCI lost the major three companies that include PayTM and MPL.
Team green has already its Ada Lovelace architecture and its GPUs namely, RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 with massive price tags, looking as if both NVIDIA and Apple are competing with their pricing of iPhones and GPUs, which now almost cost your kidney’s price. Jokes apart, starting for $1199 and over Rs.1.2lakh here in India, it’s a damn expensive offering and so unless you are very serious about gaming no one will actually think of buying this GPU.
The pricing is seriously a matter of concern or says has been done tactically so that the RTX 4090 looks like a better offering by spending $300 more. Though we thought NVIDIA would eventually reduce the pricing of the RTX 4080 this is not the case, so, here we will tell you if buying this GPU makes sense and is meant for whom?
Here we got the pretty rare RTX 4080 FE edition and it’s a very bulky GPU which looks damn cool, the packaging just looks next-level. Overall, undoubtedly, the GPU gives you a premium appeal and is clearly targeted towards gamers who want a premium 4K gaming experience with no compromise, also accompanied with DLSS 3, the performance is truly next-gen.
Specifications of RTX 4080
The world’s first GPUs based on the new NVIDIA® Ada Lovelace architecture, the RTX 40 Series delivers massive generational leaps in performance and efficiency and represents a new era of real-time ray tracing and neural rendering, which uses AI to generate pixels.
“The age of RTX ray tracing and neural rendering is in full steam, and our new Ada Lovelace architecture takes it to the next level,” said Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s founder and CEO said during the launch of these cards. As we all know, RTX 4090 came to market earlier than the RTX 4080 and if you see average sales everywhere around the globe, the RTX 4090 with its premium price enjoyed better sales than the recently available RTX 4080.
Additionally, the RTX 40 Series GPUs feature a range of new technological innovations, including:
Streaming multiprocessors with up to 83 teraflops of shader power — 2x over the previous generation.
Third-generation RT Cores with up to 191 effective ray-tracing teraflops — 2.8x over the previous generation.
Fourth-generation Tensor Cores with up to 1.32 Tensor petaflops — 5x over the previous generation using FP8 acceleration.
Shader Execution Reordering (SER) improves execution efficiency by rescheduling shading workloads on the fly to better utilize the GPU’s resources. As significant innovation as out-of-order execution was for CPUs, SER improves ray-tracing performance up to 3x and in-game frame rates by up to 25%.
Ada Optical Flow Accelerator with 2x faster performance allows DLSS 3 to predict movement in a scene, enabling the neural network to boost frame rates while maintaining image quality.
Architectural improvements tightly coupled with custom TSMC 4N process technology results in an up to 2x leap in power efficiency.
Dual NVIDIA Encoders (NVENC) cut export times by up to half and feature AV1 support. The NVENC AV1 encode is being adopted by OBS, Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve, Discord and more.
NVIDIA during the launch back in September 2022, told there will be two variants of GeForce RTX 4080, one with 12GB VRAM and the other with 16GB VRAM. While the former was supposed to come at the starting price of $899, it got cancelled eventually and as per rumours, the upcoming RTX 4070 Ti will be a rebranded RTX 4080 12GB.
Currently, the RTX 4080 you see in the market is the 16GB variant featuring 9,728 CUDA cores and 16GB of high-speed Micron GDDR6X memory, and with DLSS 3 is 2x as fast in today’s games as the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and more powerful than the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti at lower power.
When it comes to productivity, NVIDIA off late has significantly levelled up its game against AMD and has mature Tensor cores alongside NVENC encoders help to render video quickly or make graphical changes in complex Blender projects easier. While we focus more on the gaming part, however, still we have a basic productivity benchmark comparison that will give you a better idea of how this RTX 4080 stacks among the best GPUs in the market.
Here are some of the productivity benchmarks which show the dominance of this RTX 4080:
As you see in the charts, across the board the RTX 4080 totally dominates every other GPU out there and pulls off a hefty lead for any productivity-related applications. So, it’s clear that NVIDIA’s work to make these new age Ada Lovelace Gaming GPUs also great for productivity works is indeed true.
Even with fast 16GB GDDR6X memory, the RTX 4080 is fast but those who only want a GPU for productivity anyways are and will look for RTX 4090 as a better option investing a few more bucks to get over 20% better productivity performance. Though the RTX 4080 is no doubt powerful the $1199 pricing doesn’t justify it at all and it’s intentionally done so to make the RTX 4090 a better value-for-money proposition at a whopping $1499 price point.
Gaming
Coming to gaming, the hefty performance bump does give a boom in 4K gaming but still it’s not substantial to RTX 3080 if compared to rasterization performance but with the newly developed DLSS 3 it’s quite good. At 4K highest of settings in very intensive games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider or Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, you see over 100 FPS which is truly flagship-level.
So, naturally, even without DLSS, which has matured a lot but cannot give the native performance, you can really enjoy heavy games on your 4K 120Hz monitor finally! You name it any game is finally playable without DLSS even Cyberpunk 2077 at Ultra will give you 70FPS+ performance.
This kind of gaming numbers could not have been imagined before and finally, 4K gaming seems to be gaining momentum with these powerful GPUs off late. In all our games as you see, the RTX 4080 flies through without even the need for DLSS and it’s great to see that making a huge investment like this will result in a better gaming performance overall.
The special feature that these RTX 40-series GPUs bring onboard is DLSS 3 and we have tested a few games with this new tech which also involves Frame Generation. While DLSS 3 can be used as standalone upscaling tech and with Frame Generation turned on, virtual FPS can be embedded while gaming to improve performance with minimal impact in performance.
Here are the DLSS 3 benchmarks with RTX 4080:
Cyberpunk is one of the most prominent games we tested that is finally able to give 60 FPS+ with DLSS 3 Ultra settings at 4K and using Frame Generation it increases to 92 FPS. Whereas, at RT Ultra, the RTX 4080 gives 48 FPS with DLSS 3 and again with Frame Generation which increases to 74 FPS. In other games like F1 22 to Spider-Man Remastered using Frame Generation and DLSS 3, the performance increases significantly to give 100 FPS+.
However, the RTX 4080’s higher costs and the actual retail pricing are quite absurd, unless they retail for less than $1000 or Rs.1lakh in India, it’s highly unlikely that gamers will actually flock to this RTX 4080 anyways and go all in for the RTX 4090 which is why NVIDIA has made the pricing so absurd this time.
Verdict
Now, talking about whether should you go for this NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 or not. Well, this GPU is a strong performer at 4K undoubtedly but its higher pricing makes it harder to recommend just yet while we do support NVIDIA’s new tech like DLSS 3 and Frame Generation but for an average gamer this is expensive.
While supposing you have the money to spend, the RTX 4080 is not the best value but the RTX 4090 is a better proposition, however, it’s getting sold out because of this reason. The RTX 4080 looks more like a decoy card to make the ultra-flagship RTX 4090 a better buy, so if you really want to enjoy the flagship 4K gaming performance, wait until the RTX 4080’s price cools down.
However, if this price and all don’t matter to you much, you can easily spend on the new NVIDIA card and get supreme 4K gaming performance/ray tracing alongside all NVIDIA exclusive benefits as well as strong productivity performance as well.
