Thomas Tuchel wanted to sign Bruno Fernandes during his time at PSG

Current Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, who previously managed French champions Paris Saint-Germains, has now revealed that he wanted to sign current Manchester United player Bruno Fernandes during his time at PSG.

Bruno Fernandes is in red hot form for Manchester United. He has already scored 34 goals in 61 games. He has completely transformed the side.

Thomas Tuchel said: “We tried to make it happen. It was when we just arrived. My first sporting director in Paris knew [Fernandes] very well. We watched more and more games about him. We fought hard to have a connection to him and to bring him to our team.”

“We tried and he went another way. It is bad for us that we have to play against him [on Sunday].”

Tuchel described the 26-year-old as “one of the best midfielders in the world”. He further said: “He was a big personality for Sporting and an effective goalscorer and an effective guy to make the other players around more dangerous.”

“To come from Portugal, from a competitive team – a big club but not from the strongest league – and step to one of the biggest clubs in the Premier League and the strongest league in Europe, and to have this kind of impact, I have nothing but the biggest respect for this guy.”

“He has [had] a huge, huge impact and to have this as a single person in football, you must be absolutely top-level because this is almost impossible. The impact he has had is indescribable and unbelievable.”

Intel’s Rocket Lake Core i9 and i7 entire specs revealed

Intel’s upcoming Rocket Lake processor line-up has been in the news for a while recently and is the tech town’s hot topic. As we all know, the official announcement and unveiling of the CPUs will be made by Intel on the 16th of March, but we won’t be getting any official of its performance until the end of March. Well, that’s nothing strange, but the strange part is that the highly anticipated processors from intel will also go on pre-order sales on 16th March itself.

Buyers have to base their purchase only on rumours and leaked specs of the processors and their gut feeling. But the processors are expected to be out of stock soon as tech enthusiasts have been waiting for Intel to launch its Rocket Lake lineup for a long time now. The main reason for this is that Intel’s Rocket Lake architecture represents the first significant architectural upgrade in over 6 years and will feature PCIe 4.0.

According to sources, we have yet more leaks of the companies upcoming CPUs, and accordingly, the company’s flagship Rocket Lake CPU, the Core i9 11900K will be able to boost to an astounding 5.3GHz single-core and 4.8GHz multi-core thanks to Intel’s incredibly mature 14nm process.

The details are quite astounding and give hope that Intel might be able to take the performance king crown back from AMD in the coming years. TDPs range from 25W up to 125W. reports indicate that the Intel Core i9 11900K has an incredible single-core boost of 5.3 GHz coupled with an all-core of 4.8 GHz. Intel will provide Core i9 11900KF, Core i9 11900T, Core i9 11900, and Core i9 11900F flavours for its line-up. Intel has even managed to provide an all-core boost of 3.7GHz in 35W TDP with the Core i9 11900T.

Speaking of Core i7, it boasts around 4.6 GHz with a single-core boost of 5.0 GHz. According to the leaked benchmarks, the Core i7 family will perform just slightly worse than AMD’s Zen 3 based offerings.

The 14 nm-based Intel’s Rocket Lake line-up is certainly going to be one of the best things that came out from Intel. and we for one are excited to see the official performance review of the CPUs.

LG takes another step in the Smart TV market, granted a patent for extendable OLED Design

LG may have plans of shutting down its smartphone business completely, but the brand continues to build on its smart TV market. In the past, LG has explored different display types for its smart TV, including rollable and transparent TV designs. The company has recently been granted a new patent for an extendable display.

The patent application was filed on September 1, 2020, with the State Intellectual Property Office of China and was approved on February 26, 2021. The TV consists of two parts, a host and a base, with the TV’s design seemingly being an intermediate product between LG’s rollable TV and transparent TV.

In its usual fashion, LetsGoDigital has come out with a set of renders showing the retractable TV. By collecting information from the patent sketches and LetsGoDigital’s renders, the TV seems to adopt a retractable design whereby its base size is similar to that of the TV itself. When the TV is not in use or for other purposes, the length can be adjusted freely.

Besides, there is a long strip opening in the middle of the base that can display the date and time when the TV is completely stored in the base. When the user listens to music on the TV, the opening will contain control elements such as play, pause, up, and down.

The new patented TV brings to mind the Korean tech giant’s Signature R smart TV, which was first unveiled at CES 2019 but only went on sale in Korea for around $87,000 in October last year.  The smart TV utilizes a 65-inch flexible OLED panel, and among its several noteworthy features, the most impressive is the ability of the screen to be partially or fully retracted into the base.

At this year’s all-digital CES, LG announced a 55-inch transparent OLED TV. When the TV is in the storage state, there is a long strip window to display the date, time, etc. It can also display the user’s sleep duration, heart rate data, and other health data, and it is a complete big screen TV when fully raised.

The two existing models and this patented version all adopt a retractable design. Still, the only difference we expect is that this version might be a bit more affordable.

A mistake made by Tom Holand while playing the role of Nathan Drake in The Uncharted Film

Most famous Spider-Man actor Tom Holland has wrapped up the working of the movie Uncharted back in October, and step forward to another project such as Spider-Man: No Way Home. The recent interview that has published this week has looked back on his performance in the Uncharted film through the lens of self-criticism.

If you see about the worrying of do he looked good in this shot, as acting is nothing about rather than playing a character. He also said that he thought there were elements of his performance in Uncharted where he kind of fell under the spell of being he wanted to look good then. He wanted this to be his cool moment. He had been played this very tough, very stoic guy, the role of Mark Wahlberg.

The character him is an action hero which is more irritating to him. Though he had not seen it so don’t know if he became successful or not. The important lessons that he had learned at times that it had less about land a mark and go through the scene and much more about landing a mark and also is standing like this and pointed to his biceps. According to him making biceps is a big mistake that he had made that he should never do it again.

The shooting of the Uncharted movie had now probably faced some trouble to develop the history. At first, it was announced back in 2008 and had got several obstacles and received many delays due to the big list of screenwriters and also the directors that had dropping from the project.

The final script has featured by Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, It is also directed by Ruben Fleischer (Venom, Zombieland: Double Tap). The casting of this film is featuring Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan, Sophia Ali as Chloe Frazer, Tati Gabrielle as the Braddock, in an unnamed role we will see Antonio Banderas play the role, and obviously, Tom Holland will play the role of young Nathan Drake in the film.

Formula 1: 43% revenue drop in 2020

COVID-19 has hit all the sectors financially. Sports are also a part of it. Previously we have seen the revenue drops in Football, Cricket, and some other sports. Now Formula 1 also joins the list.

Formula 1’s revenues took an $877 million debt last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On Friday, Liberty Media reported that there was a 43% of revenue drop as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2019, a total of 21 races took place, and 22 had been planned for 2020, with 23 scheduled for 2021. But because of the Corona Virus outbreak, only 17 races took place last year, mostly without spectators. The events of Monaco and Singapore were cancelled. In the previous year, there was a total revenue of $2.022 billion. But in 2020, it drops down to $1.145 billion.

It was also reported that an annual operating loss of $386 million, compared to a previous profit of $17 million, and the 10 teams shared $711 million. It is $301 million less than the previous year and a drop of 30%.

Formula 1’s primary revenues are mostly come from race promotion fees, broadcasting deals and advertising and sponsorship. It also provides a significant part of the budget for smaller teams.

New chief executive Stefano Domenicali of Formula 1 said, “Due to the reduced number of races, the duration of the season and almost no fan attendance, unsurprisingly primary revenue declined.”

He also assured to make up the deficit this year as the race will be taking place in their scheduled time.
