Carlo Ancelotti tipped to bring another Madrid outcast to Everton

Everton looks like a completely different team than they were this time last season. The credit goes to Carlo Ancelotti for implementing his style of play with a team like Everton. 

Now, that isn’t to throw shade on anybody here. But the fact of the matter is that Everton is nowhere close to Real Madrid, AC Milan, Juventus, Bayern Munich, PSG, Napoli and Chelsea in terms of competing in Europe. 

However, the Toffees might make it back to the Europa League at the very least, since they have been quite impressive despite their recent slump in form. 

In addition to the acquisition of former players James Rodriguez and Allan, Ancelotti could be on the verge of pulling off another brilliant signing in the form of Real Madrid’s Isco. 

The Spanish midfielder has been visibly upset with the way he has been treated in the Spanish capital, and his main problem lies in the lack of minutes he is playing. 

Here is what Danny Mills had to say to Football Insider regarding the transfer to Goodison Park:

“Isco could happen purely because of Ancelotti. Before him, do I think it would have happened? No, but this is Carlo Ancelotti.

“He’s brought in Allan, he’s brought in James Rodriguez, he clearly has a very close connection with players that he’s worked with. Players seem to like him an awful lot.

“He gets on well with and has a fantastic relationship with players he’s worked with previously, no matter what club that is. Nobody has a bad word to say about him.

“Isco’s out of favour and there’s every chance that is a deal that can be pulled off.

“Isco is a magnificent player. It’s a bit like Gareth Bale, how can you not use players of their ability? It doesn’t matter if you’re Real Madrid or Barcelona or whoever.

“Isco is an outstanding talent and he’s not young anymore. He’s an experienced player and very talented.

“If anyone can pull that off, certainly Carlo Ancelotti can.”

Quy family respond to Gunnersaurus’ dismissal

About a month ago, Arsenal decided to part ways with their long-serving mascot, Gunnersaurus due to cost-cutting after finances were heavily impacted by COVID-19. 

Jerry Quy was the man behind the Gunnersaurus costume and appeared in character for about 27 years before being relieved of his services in October. 

Mesut Ozil, despite not being included in the Premier League squad this season, is the highest-paid Arsenal player as of now. The German offered to pay Gunnersaurus from a part of his wages, but the plan did not work.

A GoFundMe page was set up to help Gunnersaurus out with the finances, but it too was to no avail. Jerry Quy’s son Daniel Quy has posted a statement on Twitter, praising the fans for their immense support and calling the club out on their ‘lack of class’. 

As revealed by Daniel on Twitter, Jerry Quy voluntarily played the Gunnersaurus character for the first 14 years before he was on Arsenal’s payroll. The family’s sentiment attached with the character and the club was not reciprocated, according to Quy, and there was also no chance given to Jerry to hand his legacy down to somebody else. 

Although sufficient funds were raised to carry on the legacy of the iconic Gunnersaurus, Daniel’s statement clearly states that money was never an issue. It was the emotional association with the club that was not reciprocated by the management, and that ultimately left the family feeling bitter. 

The statement said that the money that was raised through the GoFundMe page, started by George Allen, would be donated to charities that were close to Jerry Quy’s heart.

While cost-cutting is an understandable part of the current scenario, a memorable exit was the very least the club could do to thank the mascot for over two decades of commitment. However, one can only hope the club does something in the future to acknowledge Gunnersaurus’ departure. Hopefully, when the crowds are back…

James Maddison reveals ‘A’ celebration is a secret gesture referring to a private WhatsApp group

James Maddison reveals ‘A’ celebration is a secret gesture referring to a private WhatsApp group

In what is one of the most bizarre sources of explanation for a football celebration, Leicester’s attacking midfielder James Maddison has now revealed that some of the players in the Premier League displaying the ‘A’ celebration with their hands, is actually a testament to a secret WhatsApp group titled “The Avengers”, which consists of a few English footballers.

Along with Maddison, the group also includes Dele Alli, Ross Barkley, Ben Chilwell, Jack Grealish and John McGinn. The celebration first came to light after Maddison scored for Leicester City in a Europa League match.

Since then most of these players have followed suit and done the same thing. Many wondered at the time as to what it meant, but there is a lot more clarity now after the English midfielder’s revelation. Even Chilwell had scored a goal for Chelsea a few weeks back and had displayed this celebration.

The international break is on now, and that sees many of the English players selected to play for their country in the matches over a two week period. But, James Maddison and Ross Barkley are not a part of the squad.

It is a surprise considering how well they have played for their respective clubs since the resumption of the season and the new one after the coronavirus pandemic had forced a lockdown on all footballing activities.

Barkley is now a regular at Aston Villa and has already scored 2 goals and 1 assist in 5 appearances for the Birmingham-based club. Maddison meanwhile enjoyed a good 19/20 campaign with 6 goals and 3 assists in 30 games but is yet to fully hit the ground running in the current season with just the 1 goal so far. Both of them will hope that they can score soon, for then they would be able to bring out the “Avengers” celebration out in the open again.

Virender Sehwag picks his best XI of IPL 2020!

IPL 2020 will go down in the history as one of the best and memorable tournaments in its history.

The tournament was so competitive during the league stages that the last team still had 12 points. The cricketing community is still dealing with the hangover of this interesting tournament.

Reflecting back on the tournament, former Indian opener, the legendary Virender Sehwag picked his best playing XI of the IPL 2020. Sehwag’s playing XI and the positions in which he has certain players are extremely shocking and interesting.

(PC- Outlook India)

Here’s Sehwag’s IPL XI:

  1. KL RAHUL (WK)
  2. DEVDUTT PADIKKAL
  3. SURYAKUMAR YADAV
  4. VIRAT KOHLI (C)
  5. DAVID WARNER
  6. AB DE VILLIERS
  7. KAGISO RABADA
  8. MOHAMMED SHAMI
  9. JASPRIT BUMRAH
  10. YUZVENDRA CHAHAL
  11. RASHID KHAN

He further named Ishan Kishan as 12th man and Jofra Archer as 13th man!

The first shocking choice made by Sehwag is obviously to make Virat Kohli the captain of his team, keeping in mind that Kohli didn’t necessarily have the best season. Further, he made Kohli an important entity but assigned him a position at number 4 for which he isn’t much known for.

Sehwag then had David Warner and AB de Villiers play at five and six which again aren’t their strong positions. Warner looked phenomenal in the tournament but only as an opener. De Villiers, on the other hand, has been great as a middle-order batsman but not necessarily at number 6 as a finisher.

Sehwag has the orange cap winner KL Rahul as his opener. He then has ‘Emerging player of the year’ Devdatt Padikkal as his another opener. He has Suryakumar play at number 3 where he has looked phenomenal for the Mumbai Indians.

Sehwag has then interestingly played five complete bowlers rather than four bowlers and an all-rounder. The trio of purple cap winner Kagiso Rabada, second-highest wicket-taker Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Shami, will be his pace bowlers. He has Yuzvendra Chahal and Rashid Khan as his spinners.

ISL 2020-21 CLUB PREVIEW: Will Bengaluru FC bounce back to win the title?

If you need to look out for how to run an Indian football club, one just has to witness the structure and functioning of Bengaluru FC. The way they’ve gone about their business since their inception in 2013 is quite incredible.

But with a title at stake and disappointing performance from last season around, can the West Block Blues get to see glory this time? We take a brief look at how they stack up ahead of the new season.

TRANSFERS

Bengaluru were active in the market reinforcing their attacking department, by adding centre forwards Cleiton Silva and Kristian Opseth to their ranks. They also signed on Mohun Bagan defensive supremo Fran Gonzalez, while also retaining the services of their existing well-built core group.

They, however, released Raphael Augusto and veteran centre-back Albert Serran from their roster and even lost the services of Nishu Kumar and Nili Pedromo, who went to Kerala Blasters and APO Levadiakos respectively.

SQUAD LIST

GOALKEEPERS

  • Gurpreet Singh Sandhu
  • Lalthuammawia Ralte
  • Lara Sharma

DEFENDERS

  • Ajith Kumar
  • Biswa Darjee
  • Francisco Gonzalez
  • Joe Zoherliana
  • Juanan
  • Namgyal Bhutia
  • Parag Srinivas
  • Pratik Chaudhuri
  • Rahul Bheke
  • Wungngayam Muirang

MIDFIELDERS

  • Erik Partaalu
  • Ajay Chhetri
  • Amay Morajkar
  • Cleiton Silva
  • Dimas Delgado
  • Harmanjot Khabra
  • Suresh Wangjam
  • Thoi Singh
  • Emanuel

FORWARDS

  • Sunil Chhetri
  • Udanta Singh
  • Deshorn Brown
  • Kristian Opseth
  • Edmund Lalrinidika
  • Ashique Kuruniyan
  • Naorem Singh
  • Semboi Haokip
  • Leon Augustin

STRENGTH

For the last few seasons now, Bengaluru have been defensively resilient not conceding a lot of goals which is the foundation for any title challenge. That manager Carles Cuadrat also boasts a good unbeaten record overall, which will be important for the team to gather momentum going into the business end of the tournament.

WEAKNESS 

Very surprisingly, BFC dropped off in their efforts to score goals and play free-flowing attacking football. Whether they were chances missed or unable to create in the first place, they only scored 22 goals in 18 ISL games last campaign. But they will hope that with the additions of Opseth and Silva, the team can supply more chances and goals upfront.

KEY PLAYER

ISL 2018-19: Sunil Chhetri says Bengaluru FC never panicked - Sportstar

Is there any name more important than Indian national team captain and icon, Sunil Chhetri? At the crisp age of 37, he is a superstar who transcends the game on his own with passion and skill. Being a versatile forward, he will once again look to provide impetus in attack after a decent 2019/20 season that saw him score 9 goals in 17 ISL appearances.

PREDICTED TABLE FINISH

2nd Place – Bengaluru have all the credentials to lift the title this time but need to be wary of the challenge posed by defending champions ATK Mohun Bagan.

TSMC witnesses a strong demand for EUV equipment

The world’s biggest advanced fabrication node maker TSMC is having a gala time in revenue with strong demands from its heavyweight clients like Apple, AMD, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and others. While supply issues persist, the Taiwanese foundry looks to sort this out with a strong demand for EUV equipment.

To expand its business to make more advanced nodes, the company should also focus on manufacturing. So, it is getting strong support from ASML for EUV litho equipment. As Digitimes has reported, TSMC has already placed orders for at least 13 EUV sets with AMSL for 2021 to focus on its 5nm capacity expansion and further advance to 3nm production.

5nm has already debuted Apple’s A14 Bionic, and M1 chip, both of them made using TSMC’s fabrication nodes. However, this time, TSMC has a strong competitor in Samsung, who recently launched its first 5nm chipset Exynos 1080, and is also supplying NVIDIA for its RTX 3000 series GPUs.

The Taiwan semiconductor giant has also planned to expand to the 3nm process in 2022 and we could expect more refined chips in the coming years, thanks to TSMC. This is the reason why the Taiwanese foundry is seeing double-digit growth each year.

With such heavyweight clients as Apple, AMD, MediaTek, and others, TSMC will grow even further and is doing its best to hold its top position in the fluctuating semiconductor industry.
