Tottenham will not have to dish out £30 million for sacking Mourinho

0

In recent weeks, reports emerged that Tottenham Hotspur would have to pay a sum worth £30 million if they sacked Jose Mourinho. However, the Daily Mail has now revealed that the clause is only valid in certain cases and if Spurs do sack the Portuguese right now, they will have to pay a sum much less than that amount. 

Mourinho took over the London club from Mauricio Pochettino in November 2019 and has since guided them into the Europa League.

The season started off very bright for Spurs, with the partnership between Harry Kane and Son Heung-min blossoming wherein they were assisting each other’s goals week in week out. And at one point in the season, the Spurs were at the top of the table, playing beautiful counter-attacking football which is a staple of Mourinho’s tactical philosophy. 

However, things took a dip midway and Spurs now find themselves in sixth place but in contention for a Champions League berth next season. More disappointingly, they bottled a two-goal lead against Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League which saw them get dumped out of the tournament by the Croatian club.

Hence, due to the exits and the dip in form in the Premier League, Mourinho could receive much less than the assumed £30 million compensation due to the performance-based clauses in his contract. They also have the Carabao Cup finals coming up against Manchester City, but head into the fixture as the second-favourites to win the cup due to the form that the Cityzens have been in recently.

Mino Raiola dismisses rumours talking about heavy commission for the Haaland deal

0

Mino Raiola has hit back at rumours that he and Erling Haaland’s father, Alf Inge Haaland had demanded a commission worth €20 million from Barcelona. The super-agent took to Twitter to dismiss these rumours, stating that ‘fake news travels fast’. 

Raiola and Alf Inge Haaland travelled to Spain during the weekend to discuss the projects and plans in place at Barcelona and Real Madrid, both suitors for Erling Haaland. However, nothing has been agreed between the agent and either club yet. 

Haaland

Additionally, Borussia Dortmund are not willing to part ways with the Norwegian this summer, since he already has a release clause in his contract that comes into play starting from the summer of 2022. That clause is valued at €75 million and must be paid in a single instalment. This has narrowed down the number of clubs that can invest in the player significantly. 

To quote Raiola himself, only ten clubs across the continent can sign Haaland while four of them are in England. Of the Premier League clubs, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea are the interested parties with Chelsea and Manchester City being the most strongly linked in recent times.

While all of Europe is gunning for the signature of the player, he himself is focused on the season with Borussia Dortmund and aims at finishing in a Champions League place at the end of the season. Should Dortmund not qualify for the top tier of European football next year, they could be forced to part ways with Haaland since he rightfully demands to compete at the highest level. 

Relationship deteriorate between Solskjaer and De Gea

Is David De Gea has become the ‘unwanted’ inside the Manchester United squad? However, multiple reports in Manchester are suggesting the deterioration in the relationship between the Spanish goalkeeper and Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

David De Gea was again dropped against Brighton Hove Albion on Sunday. Dean Henderson kept his place into the side and started for the Red Devils. This arose some serious questions about the future of David De Gea.

David De Gea was given leave last month to be with his family as he and his wife were expecting a baby at that time. Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took the opportunity and gave the chance to the English goalkeeper. Dean Henderson played very well in David De Gea’s absence.

However, De Gea joined the side before the international break. He was dropped against Leicester City in FA Cup quarter-finals. Many felt it was not really signal anything as it was a cup match. But his exclusion against Brighton arises some question again.

Some reports suggest Solskjaer and De Gea’s relationship was becoming a problem. It gave the opportunity to Dean Henderson to cement his place into the squad.

Though Ole denies all these rumors after the match against Brighton. Solskjaer said, “I’ve got two great keepers, two No.1s. David De Gea spent a while back home and then he had internationals so he hadn’t played for about a month. He’ll definitely play football for us again.”

Manchester United’s next match is against Granada in UEFA Europa League quarter-final. It will be interesting to see if Ole bring the Manchester United’s number one back into the side or not.

AMD Ryzen 5000G Cezanne APUs continues to be spotted

0

It seems the launch of the new AMD Ryzen 5000G Cezanne APUs imminent with increasing leaks and rumors. Again they have been spotted by leaker @momomo_us and this time on an HP pre-built PC on a B550 motherboard.

As we see the complete specs of the APUs have been leaked and here we have only the Ryzen 5 5600G and the Ryzen 7 5700G APUs while other are the Ryzen 5000 series processors devoid of iGPU.

Both of the APUs come with 65W TDP; the Ryzen 5 5600G sports 6 cores and 12 threads, with a 3.9 GHz base and 4.4 GHz boost clock speeds. Also, they will again feature AMD’s Vega iGPU yet again but with maybe higher clock speeds.

Whereas the flagship Cezanne APU – the Ryzen 7 5700G sports 8 cores and 16 threads, with a 3.8 GHz base and 4.6 GHz boost clock speeds, quite expected to the Engineering sample leaks we have had before. This is more of a commercial leak, and thus the specs seem pretty much to be confirmed.

Valencia and Juan Cala respond to racist abuse in La Liga match

0

Valencia’s Mouctar Diakhaby and Cadiz’s Juan Cala were involved in a very tense confrontation in the match between the two teams held recently. The Cadiz player has been accused of abusing Diakhaby racially, which led to the visiting team, Valencia, walking off the pitch in protest of the act allegedly committed by Juan Cala. 

The visitors walked out on the pitch and decided to continue the game, as has been revealed recently, after having a meeting with Diakhaby and discussing with the player. The official statement released by the club says that the players continued the match “in order to fight for the honour of the club, but denounce racism of any kind”.

Juan Cala has been very relaxed towards the accusations pointed at him, “I’m very relaxed. Tomorrow we will say everything in the press conference. It seems to me that in this country innocence is not contemplated.” the player told Gol on Monday on being asked by the media about the situation. 

The referee’s account of the situation has also shed more light on the events that transpired in between the two during the game: 

“In the 29th minute I stopped the match due to a confrontation between players from both sides. Player number 12 of Valencia C.F., Mouctar Diakhaby, once booked for arguing with an opponent, tells me word for word: “He called me a s***** black man” in reference to player number 16 of Cadiz C.F. Juan Torres Ruiz (Juan Cala).

“This fact was not perceived by any member of the refereeing team. After a few moments, Valencia C.F. decide to abandon the pitch. For this reason, the match is temporarily suspended. Both sides enter their respective changing rooms. After a few minutes of suspension, the Valencia C.F. delegate David Rangel Pastor, in presence of the Cadiz C.F. delegate Antonio Navarrete Reyes, tells us that they decide to substitute player number 12 Mouctar Diakhaby and continue with the game.

“Moreover, it was agreed to give both sides a five-minute warm-up in order to avoid injuries. The match was resumed 24 minutes after suspending it, and was carried out as normal from that moment onwards.”

MPL renews RCB sponsorship in a two-year deal

0

The gaming platform will be RCB’s Principal Sponsor for the 2021 and 2022 editions of the T20 league

National, April 6, 2021: Mobile Premier League (MPL), Asia’s largest esports and skill gaming platform, today announced its partnership with IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for a period of two years as a Principal Sponsor.

The partnership will see MPL continue to be featured on the RCB kit for the upcoming edition of the T20 tournament this year, as well as the 2022 edition. MPL began its association with RCB in the 2020 T20 edition, played in the UAE, which was a very successful partnership.

Associating with T20 teams has proven to be a good return on investment for startups in the past, with many brands becoming easily recognisable thanks to huge fan followings that teams like the RCB command, as well as the T20 tournament’s record-breaking viewership numbers.

MPL is now valued at a whopping $945 million after the latest fundraise

“We are glad to extend our association with RCB for two more years. Last year’s partnership was fruitful for both RCB and MPL. With our Brand Ambassador Virat Kohli leading a strong RCB side, we are confident that the team will have a good season this year too. Bangalore is MPL’s home base and we are proud to partner with this city’s Cricket team,” said Abhishek Madhavan, Senior Vice President, Growth and Marketing, MPL.

Speaking of the partnership, Rajesh V Menon, Vice President & Head of Royal Challengers Bangalore said, “We are delighted to have Mobile Premier League as one of our key jersey partners again for this season and the next. MPL and RCB share a common ethos of being at the forefront of creating cutting edge mobile gaming experiences and engaging content platforms respectively and this partnership combines the power of both to further create heightened levels of engagement for our fans.”

ASUS ROG STRIX G15 laptop with Ryzen 9 5900HX & Radeon RX 6800M GPU spotted

0

ASUS has a wide portfolio of gaming laptops in 2021, and most of them are powered by the latest AMD Ryzen 5000H gaming processors. Now, a new leak suggests, the Taiwanese OEM could opt for AMD RX 6000M GPUs as well on their upcoming laptop laptops.

AMD is soon set to announce its mobile RDNA 2 based Radeon RX 6000M series GPUs for gaming laptops, and the leak of an upcoming ASUS ROG G15 STRIX laptop does indeed make sense. As per a CPU-Z validation, ASUS’s new laptop will sport the flagship AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU & Radeon RX 6800M GPU combo.

ASUS ROG STRIX G15 laptop with Ryzen 9 5900HX & Radeon RX 6800M GPU spotted

As per leaks and rumors, the RX 6800M will feature a full-flat Navi 22 GPU with 2560 cores and 12GB GDDR6 memory, matching almost the specs of the newly released RX 6700 XT GPU.

ASUS ROG STRIX G15 laptop with Ryzen 9 5900HX & Radeon RX 6800M GPU spotted

The laptop’s product code G513QY did, in fact, confirm that this is an ASUS ROG STRIX G15 laptop which is already available with Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU and NVIDIA RTX 30 GPUs. Videocardz has also pointed out that the G513QM variant sports RTX 3060 whereas QR sports RTX 3070 SKU, so the QY will, in fact, comes with Ryzen 9 5900HX & Radeon RX 6800M configuration.

Also, the BIOS of this laptop is reported to be fresh and was built on March 19th, also being evaluated by ASUS themselves. So, the leak and development of this new all-AMD powered gaming laptop are certainly in its early stages and that makes sense as the Red team promised availability in Q2 2021.

UEFA demand minimum attendance figures from host cities

0

UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin has reportedly warned host cities of the delayed 2020 European Championships that they must confirm fans’ presence in their stadiums by April 7. Some of the participating cities are only willing to allow 10% of the maximum stadium capacity to be fulfilled, and it might not be enough to satisfy UEFA’s expectations. 

“We have several scenarios, but the one guarantee we can make is that the option of playing any Euro 2020 match in an empty stadium is off the table,’ Ceferin said last month.

“Every host must guarantee there will be fans at their games.”

Those cities that do not manage to satisfy the expectations set for them in terms of crowd attendance could lose out on the chance to host the tournament completely. Dublin is one of the shakiest cities on the list, with the Irish government being unable to provide assurances on minimum spectator levels. 

UEFA has reportedly asked Dublin to accommodate 25% of its Aviva Stadium but could miss out on the four matches scheduled there if they do not concede to these demands. 

Should Ireland be discarded as hosts of the prestigious tournament, Russia has plans of stepping up as replacements, with the country reportedly confident in pledging attendances close to 50% of the 68,000 capacity in the Gazprom Arena in St Petersburg. 

Alexei Sorokin, head of the committee, said UEFA would allow host cities to increase the planned attendance figures until April 28.

‘If there are significant improvements [in the epidemiological situation], we do not rule this out,’ he told the Russian Tass news agency.

Apex Legends Going to Bring Lots of Titanfall Content in Season 9

0

Apex Legends had its best year, bringing continuously new content, and it seems that one of the most requested features from the Apex Legends fan base is now coming soon: more Titanfall.

Apex Legends has the Titanfall universe and this universe is shared by Titanfall, Titanfall 2, and Apex Legends, but after the first release, Apex Legends has been kept much separate for two years. On a current panel having a few Respawn developers hosted by BrownGirlGamerCode, Ashley Reed, the Senior Writer of Apex Legends noted that the games are connected very closely.

Reed said, “What’s going on in Titanfall is a war; Apex is what happens after the war.” Reed then said that Respawn was willing to integrate the world’s first built-in Titanfall more thoroughly into Apex.

“Next season, Season 9, you’re actually going to see a ton of Titanfall coming back into the game in one way or another. So, I’ve told some people before, if you’re a Titanfall fan hang on for Season 9,” said Apex Legends Game Director Chad Grenier during the same panel.

Reiterating the statements for many years, Respawn said that there are no plans to basically add Titans properly.

Seeing the comment, it feels much more like those previous leaks from a while back are more plausible, the ones about the upcoming brand-new character Blisk, who has the features like calling a computer-controlled Titan as a kind of turret. Blisk is a character from Titanfall, a vicious mercenary who also serves as a chairman of Apex Legends’ Apex Games.
