Previously the Asus ROG Phone 5 visited the DXOMARK making an impressive mark on the Audio section obtaining the highest score ever in the Audio section of DXOMARK. The phone scored 79 in that section overtaking Xiaomi’s Mi 10 Pro (76 points). It has also scored 78 points in the Playback section. Last year’s Asus ROG Phone 3 had scored only 75 points in that section in comparison to this year we can say ROG phone 5 has taken a great leap on that part.

PSG interested in signing Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea

Paris Saint Germain is interested in signing David De Gea next summer. The Manchester United goalkeeper may leave the club after 10 years.

David De Gea is surely one of the best goalkeepers in the world. But he was not in his best form for the last couple of seasons. He had made some horrific errors that had cost his side so many times in recent times.

This season Dean Henderson is also trying to take the number 1 spot of Manchester United. The English goalkeeper was in excellent form last season when he was at Sheffield United on loan. But after returning to Manchester United, he was not getting enough chances as David De Gea has almost cemented his place in the first team.

But Henderson is getting his chance as David De Gea will be absent for the rest of the month due to personal reasons. The Spanish goalkeeper has returned to Spain to be with his pop star partner Edurne who has recently become the mother of their first child.

Henderson has secured to back to back clean-sheets in the last two games. One of those came against Manchester City at Etihad as United beat the league leaders by 2-0. After that, some wants him to be the number 1 choice of Manchester United.

However, PSG is monitoring the situation and may go for the Spanish goalkeeper in the summer.  Though, PSG Keylor Navas has been a better performer in recent times that De Gea. So it can be a questionable move for the French giant.

Germany head coach Joachim Low to step down after Euro 2021

Germany national team head coach Joachim Low has announced that he will be stepping down from the post after Euro 2021. The DFB has also confirmed the news, with the contract set to run until 2022 now set to be cancelled after the tournament. 

Here is what Low himself had to say regarding the decision:

“I take this step very consciously, full of pride and enormous gratitude, but at the same time continue to be very motivated when it comes to the upcoming European Championship tournament.

“Proud, because it is something very special and an honour for me to be involved in my country. And because I have been able to work with the best footballers in the country for almost 17 years and support them in their development.

“I have great triumphs with them and painful defeats, but above all many wonderful and magical moments — not just winning the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. I am and will remain grateful to the DFB, which has always provided me and the team with an ideal working environment.”

Low joined the national team as assistant coach to Jürgen Klimsmann in 2004 before taking over in 2006. He has since managed to guide die Mennschaft into the semi-finals of Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup, while achieving his highest point with the 2014 World Cup victory. 

There were rumours linking Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick and Liverpool’s Jürgen Klopp as potential candidates for Low’s replacement as in charge of the national team. However, while Klopp has denied being in talks for the job, a similar confirmation or a surprise decision in the opposite direction is awaited from Flick.

ATKMohun Bagan defeat NorthEast United to set up a heavyweight final for ISL 2021

NorthEast United’s unbeaten run came to an end in the second leg of the semi finals against ATK Mohun Bagan today, and the Mariners are now on their way to their second successive final of the Hero ISL. 

Roy Krishna, who is still the top scorer in the ISL this season, turned provider as he assisted both the goals in ATKMB’s 2-1 victory over NorthEast to send them packing. The two goals in each half were scored by David Williams and Manvir Singh in the first and second halves respectively. 

NorthEast managed to pull one back in the 74th minute, but could not find another goal to level things up. This led to them finally tasting defeat at the hands of their opponents on the night. 

As predicted by many, the finals of this season showcase the two best teams in the division, ATK Mohun Bagan and Mumbai City FC going at each other in an attempt to determine who is the outright best once and for all. 

Given that Mumbai managed to win their last encounter, which was also ATK’s last game in the group stage, they will be heading into the match with a psychological edge over their opponents. On the other hand, ATK will be determined to build on the errors they made previously to win against them this time. 

Mumbai have the chance to win the double this season, if they manage to win against ATK, but it will not come easy considering how good the Mariners have been defensively. The same can be said for Mumbai, since both teams seem to have no clear weaknesses heading into the big match. 

Klopp’s poor form spell has happened before with Dortmund

Six seasons ago, Jürgen Klopp’s Borussia Dortmund suffered a shocking dip in form after finishing runners up in the previous season. The team were completely lost, and were at their lowest, in 18th place in the Bundesliga. 

The pattern seems to be repeating itself, since Liverpool themselves are going through an embarrassing spell recently, having lost to Fulham in their most recent outing at Anfield. This loss extended their losing streak at home to six defeats in a row.

Many of the factors influencing Liverpool right now can be equated with that of Dortmund in 14-15. Many players were out injured, while those who managed to make the squad could not come up with enough on the pitch to win games. Additionally, Dortmund had finished 2nd and were flying until the 14-15 season came about and pushed them into a difficult place. 

Klopp’s brand of gegenpressing was supposedly studied and understood by the Bundesliga clubs, and teams like Hertha Berlin, Mainz and Eintracht Frankfurt handed defeats to Dortmund in a similar fashion to Liverpool losing so many games recently.

Considering the height in performance that Liverpool had shown last season, many expected Klopp to be in the driver’s seat this season in terms of putting up a good title defense at the very least. However, things really haven’t been the same since football returned following the lockdown last year. 

While Klopp is contracted to Liverpool for a couple more years, he must find a way to turn things around and possibly secure Champions League football next season to not only ensure that the players are competing at the top level, but to also maximise the financial input at the end of the season. 

Georgino Wijnaldum’s Liverpool future still hanging

Wijnaldum’s contract with Liverpool ends this summer, but there is still no agreement, and he may leave. Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman is a fan of the Netherlands international and wants to bring him to the Camp Nou.

With Barcelona getting a new president, Joan Laporta, their sporting project will once again rise, and he may look to invest in the players that Koeman believes in, and Wijnaldum can be one of them.

But Wijnaldum is happy at Liverpool and don’t want to leave, but there’s no agreement still, so he can definitely be lured away.

Wijnaldum told at today’s press conference before the Champions League match against RB Leipzig: “There is no news at it stands right now.”

“I would like to say I am really happy at the club, with the team, the fans and that is only thing I can say. It’s not that I am not happy and have to leave. It’s not that easy. So difficult to deal with it…”

“The situation we are in right now [my future] is not the most important thing. But only thing I can say is I am really happy here with the fans, team, staff, family is happy here. But there is no news.”

“Really difficult,” he said – when pushed on how he’d feel if he did have to leave…

“You would leave a team you really love. With a team you feel really comfortable. This will be difficult – but you will know the situation why you have to leave. But I would be devastated I cannot play with this team anymore.”

Liverpool has suffered their sixth straight home defeat for the first time in their history and may suffer to earn Champions League qualification for next season but Klopp still has Wijnaldum in his plans. So it remains to be seen where his future lies in the next season.

Mbappe demands £600,000 per week salary in his new contract

Paris Saint-Germain are yet to agree on a new contract with Kylian Mbappe and that has given rise to rumours linking the star player away from the French capital. Manchester City are the latest to be thrown into the list of clubs that could move to sign the player, with the only other prominent suitors being Real Madrid and Liverpool. 

The main reasons behind Manchester City being linked with the player is due to the club looking for a long-term replacement for Sergio Aguero, whose contract expires in the summer. The Argentinian has not yet made his decision regarding his future.

In a recent report by the Athletic, Mbappe has reportedly asked for a £600,000 contract from Paris Saint-Germain or any other club who is willing to pursue the player, which includes Manchester City. Paris Saint-Germain on the other hand, are holding out for a transfer fee worth £174 million for the sensational forward. 

But there have been numerous sources that have stated that Paris will do everything in their power to keep the player at the club, going as far as to say that the owner of the club, alongside Sporting Director Leonardo, will try to agree to Mbappe’s demands to keep him at the club. One of the main demands the player had was his inclusion in sporting decisions.

This has raised the question as to whether any club will be able to afford the eye-watering figures that come along with the prospect of signing the teenage World Cup winner. 

UN and FIFA share strategic social goals

A number of opportunities for engagement and collaborations were highlighted in the lead up to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, at the World Cup and beyond

ZURICH, Switzerland, March 9, 2021/ — The United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Ms. Amina J. Mohammed had a virtual meeting with FIFA President Gianni Infantino in which they exchanged views on shared priorities and the importance of urgent actions and commitments to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. They discussed the role of football as a force for good and a tool for hope, particularly as the world recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic. A number of opportunities for engagement and collaborations were highlighted in the lead up to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, at the World Cup and beyond.

“The United Nations welcomes the collaboration with FIFA, particularly football’s potential in supporting the SDGs,” Ms. Mohammed said. “Our engagement is important to best identify how we can advance the Sustainable Development Goals not only at the global level, but also at regional and local level to ensure no one is left behind.”

The FIFA President agreed, adding that it was important for football to be at the service of society. “It is important for us at the new FIFA to be able to engage with the UN. The new FIFA is a responsible body and a sustainable organisation. It is an organisation that is aware that football goes beyond playing competitions. Football is much more than that.”

The call, which took place on 8 March, International Women’s Day was an opportunity to reflect on the role of the sport in advancing gender equality and building better mechanisms to protect from abuse and marginalisation. Both leaders agreed that while having a vaccine was an important step in the effort to end the pandemic, the vaccine needed to be a people’s vaccine with equitable availability around the world. Ms. Mohammed highlighted the Secretary-General’s call for reimagining multilateralism and need for working with new and untraditional actors around the world to promote the Global Goals and the United Nations Agenda.

The FIFA President spoke about the need to build on positive examples around the world when communities and countries came together, how football can support the recovery process, and also the role that football can have in education.

“The common language of football works everywhere, and it is in the DNA of the new FIFA to be open and we will use our competitions to get the message across,” the FIFA President said. “Through the Football for Schools programme and via a new African schools tournament programme, our focus is not only on football. FIFA strongly believes that through football, you can speak about everything, as it teaches children about values and rules, and we want to use football’s force for education.”

The two leaders concluded by agreeing to strengthen existing relationships and to develop further plans in relation to the SDGs.

Sep Blatter has made a controversial comment regarding Messi’s Golden ball win in FIFA World Cup 2014

Lionel Messi was awarded Golden Boot in World Cup, summer 2014 which was a mistake admitted by former FIFA President Sepp Blatter, and once again he revealed it in media on an interview with AS.

Blatter expressed how he got surprised when he came to know about the announcement, though Messi was performing well and in good form as he scored four goals and one assist which helped Argentina huge but he thinks it was not the right decision.

452111360.0 Sep Blatter has made a controversial comment regarding Messi's Golden ball win in FIFA World Cup 2014

He told AS during the interview “Shall I be diplomatic or shall I tell you the truth? Listen, I was myself a little bit surprised when I saw Lionel Messi coming up for best player of the tournament.”

“I think the decision was incorrect. I was surprised when I received the committee’s decision. They told me they had only looked at 10 of the players who took part in the final.”

“If you compare the beginning of the tournament and why finally the Argentina team got into the final, they were decisive and I think that influenced the decision.”

When Messi scored four and assisted once throughout the tournament whereas Thomas Muller pushed Germany by five goals and three assists. Also, Robben scored three and assist one in seven games.

Football fans throughout the world criticized the FIFA Committee’s decision when Messi was chosen for the award. According to some, Colombia’s James Rodriguez or Germany’s Manuel Neuer winners of Golden Boot and Golden Glove respectively could be more deserving.
