Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus releases official statement as UEFA opens disciplinary proceedings against them

0

The 12 European clubs which decided to form a breakaway European Super League have faced backslash from everywhere. Out of the 12 clubs, 9 clubs have already backed out officially, though that didn’t rule them out of some punishment by UEFA.

Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid and AC Milan have all come to an agreement with UEFA.

The remaining three clubs, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus, still haven’t backed out from the European Super League, and UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against them.

Read: UEFA starts disciplinary proceedings against Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus; Champions League participation in doubt

Now, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus have released an official statement that they remain committed to modernising football through an open dialogue with UEFA.

The official statement read:

BARCELONA, JUVENTUS AND REAL MADRID REMAIN COMMITTED TO MODERNIZING FOOTBALL THROUGH AN OPEN DIALOGUE WITH UEFA

FC Barcelona, Juventus FC and Real Madrid CF wish to express their absolute rejection of the insistent coercion that UEFA has been maintaining towards three of the most relevant institutions in the history of football. This alarming attitude constitutes a flagrant breach of the decision of the courts of justice, which have already made a clear statement warning UEFA to refrain from taking any action that could penalise the founding clubs of the Super League while the legal proceedings are ongoing.

Therefore, the opening of disciplinary proceedings by UEFA is incomprehensible and is a direct attack against the rule of law that we, the citizens of the European Union, have democratically built up, while constituting a lack of respect toward the authority of the courts of justice themselves.

From the beginning, the Super League has been promoted with the aim of improving the situation of European football, through permanent dialogue with UEFA and with the objective to increase the interest in the sport and to offer fans the best possible show. This objective has to be achieved in a framework of sustainability and solidarity, especially in a precarious economic situation such as the one many clubs in Europe are currently experiencing.

Instead of exploring ways of modernizing football through open dialogue, UEFA expects us to withdraw the ongoing court proceedings that question their monopoly over European football. Barcelona, Juventus and Real Madrid, all of them more than a century old, will not accept any form of coercion or intolerable pressure, while they remain strong in their willingness to debate, respectfully and through dialogue, the urgent solutions that football currently needs.

Either we reform football or we will have to watch its inevitable downfall.

Leicester City set to complete the signing of Boubakary Soumare from Lille

Boubakary Soumare is all set to join Leicester City this transfer window. The player has been a longstanding target for the Foxes, and the deal has been done for a while now. The deal will be officially announced in a few days.

According to renowned Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Leicester will be paying €23 million for his services. The player will be signing a contract until 2026, and the transfer has been given the Here We Go signal by the journalist. 

Lille won the Ligue 1 this season, pulling off a fairytale season much like Leicester City did a few years ago. However, the Premier League outfit are a much different team now than they were before. Brendan Rodgers has transformed them into true competitors for the top four, and although they did drop out on the final day, that is not expected to be a factor. 

Soumare came through the Paris FC and PSG academies, before joining Rennes in 2017 for a free transfer. He has been a part of the first team ever since and was a vital player this past season. He operates as a defensive midfielder, and will be a great addition for Brendan Rodgers’ team to pair alongside Youri Tielemans. 

The addition of the 22-year-old will provide Leicester with some much needed defensive cover. Although the centre-back pairing of Wesley Fofana, Caglar Soyuncu and Jonny Evans has been effective, the presence of a fourth defensive minded player will hugely benefit the Foxes’ chances of finishing in the top four next season. 

Is Gareth Bale planning on retiring after Euro 2020?

0

Gareth Bale recently talked about his future, and was asked about his plans for after the 20/21 club season ended. The player spent the entirety of the campaign on loan with former club Tottenham Hotspur, and helped them into the Europa Conference League. 

‘It just has to happen after the Euros,’ he told Sky Sports. ‘I know what I’m doing but it’ll just cause chaos if I say anything now.

‘I am not thinking about anything other than Wales.’

Bale had a difficult start to the season and Tottenham, and spent a lot of time on the treatment table. However, once he got fit and started playing, he delivered well during his time on the pitch. The Welshman scored 11 goals during the campaign, and had the best goals per minutes stat. 

The winger still has a contract with Real Madrid, and has a year left on his deal. He is among the highest earners at the club, despite not playing a minute in their shirt in 2020. Madrid will want to do away with his £600,000 per week wages since they do not plan on having him play. 

His relationship with the media and fans in Spain has deteriorated heavily, and things took a massive turn for the worse after he held up the infamous “Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order.” Flag after a game with his national team. 

There has been speculation that Bake is considering retirement following Euro 2020, but Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the player is not going to hang up his boots just yet. He will announce his decision as to where he will play next season after the tournament. 

Apple A15 Bionic’s mass production has begun for the upcoming iPhone 13 series – says report

Right now, Apple is not able to take afford to take any chances with its iPhone 13 launch with the ongoing chip shortage. The previous reports are saying that the tech giant has already worked with TSMC to ensure that it gets chip shipments in proper time. The recent report says that A15 bionic has entered mass production, and compare to A14 Bionic, A15 bionic will have some advantages.

The updated news comes from a paywalled report published on DigiTimes, and TSMC is expected to use an improved 5nm process, which is also known as N5P, for the A15 Bionic. A15 Bionic and A14 Bionic are the same in terms of lithography, but this enhanced 5nm node should ensure a bit increase in both power efficiency and performance.

If we assume that mass production has been started, it will bring advantage for Apple as long as the iPhone 13 launch is concerned. The company could reveal the new flagship family in late September with four models of it. A huge shipment of A15 Bionic chipsets with on-time delivery ensures that Apple sticks to its desired launch time. Apple has several supply chains, and it can negotiate with different partners if one of them is facing a problem producing a large shipment of components.

Apple has the only option to rely on, which is TSMC, and this Taiwanese chip maker should have to be punctual in its delivery. The improvements for A15 Bionic are expected to arrive, and this gonna take a crucial part in conserving battery life as the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max are said to offer 120 Hz LTPO OLED screens and 5G modems.

During the official presentation, we might get more information on A15 Bionic, so stay tuned with us for the latest updates.

Smartphones with Less than 10 minutes of Full Charging Time will launch in the upcoming months

0

In the smartphone world, we have seen the drastic change in charging technology that is implemented in most flagship devices. From wired charging to true-wireless charging via air, all have been introduced in the last decade. People are becoming busy day by day and as smartphones are an important part of the lifestyle, no one wants to wait for a longer charging time. Even though they do not want to wait for a longer charging time, they also want longer battery life.

Keeping that in mind smartphone companies had started to increase the battery life of their smartphones first, because the most important thing for a smartphone is a longer battery life that consumers were demanding for a long time. The battery capacity started increasing from 3,000mAh to a whooping 7,000mAh and in some special cases it comes close to 10,000mAh.

On the other hand, smartphones were using the standard 10W charging bricks to power up and this rose a concern of charging times for those huge batteries. So the companies started to increase the charging wattage for every single smartphone model and made fast charging a standard for every smartphone in recent years.

Now we have seen 5,000mAh battery and 30W fast charging as standard criteria for most of the smartphones from mid-range categories. In wired charging, we have seen flagship devices come with around 100-120W of fast charging support, but most of those devices have a battery capacity lesser than 5,000mAh which allows the company to market their smartphones by showing faster charging time. Nowadays we have seen some of the brands have successfully achieved a faster charging time of around 20 minutes with a standard ‘4,000mAh’ battery.

According to Digital Chat Station, smartphone brands are going to come up with such a high wattage fast charging tech that will be able to charge the smartphones in less than 10 minutes. Yes, you read it right, less than 10 minutes or as per DCS “time takes to fully charge the cable is single digits”. According to the tipster, these smartphones will be launched in the second half of 2021. So it is safer to assume that from the month of July we can expect smartphones with such extensive fast charging supports.

The only suggestion we would like to give all the companies to provide higher battery capacity, that is above 5,000mAh, and enable fast charging like 65W or above on them. So that consumers can get the satisfaction of using high-end devices with longer battery life. Usually, flagship smartphones have high-end configurations that use more battery than any mid-range devices and it drains faster than any other smartphones. So a bigger battery with fast charging facility will be a cherry on the top.
