Yaya Toure wanted to play in ISL but the main issue was financial problem

Indian Super League [ISL] is growing rapidly day by day, season by season. Many exciting foreigners are playing in the league in the last few seasons. Now ISL is catching the eyes of big names as well.

After Radja Nainggolan, Ivan Strinić, now former Manchester City legend Yaya Touré is the latest inclusion in the list who was in search of a club in India.

Yaya Touré has played in FC Barcelona, Manchester City in his playing career. He has won 2 La Liga during his time at FC Barcelona. He also won UEFA Champions League with the Catalan club in 2009. In 2010 he joined Manchester City and won 3 Premier Leagues in 8 years in England.

As per reports, he was offered to multiple ISL clubs. One club responded and they wanted to sign him for 200,000 USD (approx. Rs 1.5 crore) per year. It was less than what he earned every week during his time at Manchester City.

Mumbai City FC has partnered with ‘City Football Group’ which attracts many players in India. But the salary cap is restricting all the clubs from signing all world-class players.

Damian Willoughby, CEO, City Football Group India said: “Lots of players were interested in coming to Mumbai City FC because of the group’s involvement and support. People are becoming aware of the elevated profile of ISL across the global football community.”

According to the rules of ISL, clubs cannot spend more than Rs. 16.5 crores on player salaries. The salary cap does not include the transfer fees of the players. Loan wages are included in this cap though.

Yaya Touré even asked to accept payment from ‘Jersey Sales’. He was told in India there are not many Manchester City fans unlike Manchester United, Liverpool, and all.

PUBG Mobile is ready to re-enter to the Indian market

It’s been a long time since PUBG Mobile is trying to come to its Indian fans. Needless to say, it was the biggest market for the game around the globe. Putting an end to all discussions, the PUBG Mobile team finally declares its objective to re-enter to the Indian market, and this time the players can expect a new ‘tailored’ experience. Though, no exact date is announced yet regarding the fresh launch.

PUBG Corporation finally manages to recover all the issues for those it got banned earlier. PUBG Corporation and KRAFTON jointly announce that they crafted the game again, especially for the Indian market. Apart from the re-launch announcement, the team also disclosed its plans to invest $100 million in our country to cultivate local video games, e-sports, IT industries, and more.

The authority assured this time, too, the security and privacy of the Indian players will be on the top of the priority list. They will perform regular audits and verifications of the systems that will store data generated from our country.

If you are a parent and your child was a PUBG addict, good news for you. PUBG Corporation will introduce a feature to deal with the heavy usage problem of the youngsters.

Moreover, there are a few more plans for India, including creating Indian subsidiaries and organize e-sport events. Let’s wait for a while more for further announcements.

ISL 2020-21 CLUB PREVIEW: Could new-look Mumbai City FC be aided by luck in their quest for qualification?

ISL 2020-21 CLUB PREVIEW: Could new-look Mumbai City FC be aided by luck in their quest for qualification?

Mumbai City FC have been an underwhelming force throughout their history of the past six years. Since the inception of the league in 2014, MCFC have made it just once to the Playoffs stage, often finishing mid-table.

Revealed! The reason why Mumbai City FC logo has seven stars on it

But with new ownership, fresh tactical ideas and stronger players, can Mumbai create an impact this season? We take a brief look at how they stack up ahead of the new season –

TRANSFERS

Acquired by the CFG group earlier this year, Mumbai City identified a few key players in their scouting system. They have thus signed the likes of Fall, Boumous, Jahouh, Farukh Choudhary and Mandar Rao Desai.

They released Diego, Kevyn and Sogou as part of their rebuilding process. A number of Indian players which included Mohammed Rafique were let go to various I-League and ISL clubs.

SQUAD LIST

GOALKEEPERS

  • Amrinder Singh
  • Vikram Singh
  • Nishit Shetty
  • Phurba Lachenpa

DEFENDERS

  • Mourtada Fall
  • Mandar Rao Desai
  • Mehtab Singh
  • Amey Ranawade
  • Valpuia
  • Sarthak Golui
  • Tondonba Singh
  • Mohamad Rakip

MIDFIELDERS

  • Ahmed Jahouh
  • Bipin Singh
  • Cy Goddard
  • Asif Khan
  • Farukh Choudhary
  • Bidyananda Singh
  • Hernan Santana
  • Hugo Boumous
  • Pranjal Bhumij
  • Raynier Fernandes
  • Rowllin Borges
  • Sourav Das
  • Vikram Singh
  • Vignesh Dakshinamurthy

FORWARDS

  • Adam Le Fondre
  • Bartholomew Ogbeche

STRENGTH

Their biggest positive ahead of this season is the ability to be able to bring a manager like Sergio Lobera in their ranks. With a good win percentage, he also convinced the core players from FC Goa to join him at Mumbai. They are also a decent goalscoring side with 25 goals in 18 games last season and are only set to improve this season under Lobera’s attacking style of play.

WEAKNESS

Much like East Bengal, their influx of the number of transfers could lead to team chemistry being affected on the pitch. The uncertainty of not having a core that knows each other means Mumbai’s management has its task cut out to get all of them firing at the same time.

KEY PLAYER

ISL 2020-21: Bartholomew Ogbeche close to committing future with Kerala Blasters

Talismanic forward Bartholomew Ogbeche is undoubtedly a sheer force on his day. With the ability to wreck opposition defences, the Nigerian has a history of winning games on his own. He has scored 27 goals and 2 assists in 33 ISL appearances for both NorthEast United and Kerala Blasters.

PREDICTED TABLE FINISH

4th Place – Mumbai have just about enough firepower to make it to the playoffs, but how they go on from there is anybody’s guess at the moment.

The Redmi Note 9 5G is rumored to have a starting price of just US$150

Xiaomi is about to bring the Redmi Note 9 5G series to the market very soon. In that series, we are about to get two smartphones, Redmi Note 9 and Redmi Note 9 Pro. Both of them support 5G connectivity. Recently the pricing of both the smartphones has been rumored, which says that the upcoming Redmi Note 9 5G will have a base price of just 1000 yuan (around US$150). On the other hand, the Redmi Note 9 Pro will carry a price tag of around 1500 yuan ($226). Let’s check out what are the specifications we can expect from the Redmi Note 9 series.

Both smartphones will sport 6-inch plus displays. One of them is expected to feature a 6.67-inch IPS LCD display with a refresh rate of 120Hz. The refresh rate will be adaptive. That means it will change between 30Hz to 120Hz depending on the situation. Both the phones will possess a quad rear camera setup. Moreover, the Pro variant is expected to offer a primary sensor of 108MP.

The Redmi Note 9 Pro is rumored to be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G SoC chipset. In terms of charging, both of them will support fast charging, probably around 22.5W. In terms of connectivity, everything including 5G will be there. But not sure whether it will have a 3.5mm headphone jack or not. As mentioned earlier, the pricing of this series of Redmi should fall in the lower-mid-range category. That means it is going to be a real value for money deal for the buyers.

AMD Ryzen 7 5700U “Lucienne” APU spotted running on HP Pavilion Laptop 15

Another day, another laptop with upcoming Ryzen 5000 APU

Well, if you thought AMD had had enough with its Ryzen 5000 series processors for desktops, then you have probably mistaken. The upcoming AMD Ryzen 7 5700U “Lucienne” APU has again been spotted, not on an Acer Aspire 5 A515 but an HP Pavilion Laptop 15-eh1xxx laptop.

A new Geekbench listing of this laptop shows that the upcoming Ryzen 7 5700U will be an 8 core, 16 thread APU with 1.8GHz base and 4.3GHz boost clock speeds, which was previously confirmed with the leak of the Acer laptop as well.

The interesting thing is the scores which are being reflected as we see there are two scores –

  • Single Core: 1172, Multi Core: 6595
  • Single Core: 1111, Multi Core: 6099

If you compare the score with the current Ryzen 7 4700U, its not huge because I own a laptop with that APU and my scores are something like this:

The Asus VivoBook Flip 14 with Ryzen 7 4700U outmuscles the Core i7-1065G7 on the Dell XPS 13

So, as we see, there’s not much improvement in the single-core score as this is basically still a Zen 2 refresh while having that extra 8 threads gives a huge boost in the multi-core score of the upcoming Ryzen 7 5700U. According to this leak, we aren’t getting any major improvement on the compute side of the APU.

Whereas if you look at the upcoming APU’s graphical side, we see a slight improvement due to higher clock speeds, and with 8 Vega Compute units instead of 7 seen on the current AMD Ryzen 7 4700U. I don’t know what AMD is planning by just doing a refresh of its Ryzen 4000U series, and I guess the other exciting Cezanne and Van Gogh APUs can actually bring something more that users will expect from AMD.

These upcoming Ryzen 5000U series APUs will be launching at the start of 2021, most probably CES 2021, and it will be a mix of Zen 2 based Lucienne APUs and Zen 3 based Cezanne APUs as per leaks till now.

AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors make new sales record

The Red team made its revolutionary Ryzen 5000 series processors based on Zen 3 architecture available on November 5 and since then it seems the company is not stopping yet. The sales of these CPUs seems to be amazing as per the retailers from various countries.

As pointed out by Techradar, as soon as these processors went live, they were all sold out, while some retailers out there have ended up breaking sales records as well.

As per Scan, a UK retailer, “Demand was extremely high and the launch stock we had sold through extremely quickly making it the fastest selling CPU launch we have ever seen,” and that this was “echoed across all of the launch retailers.”

As pointed out by Hassan Mujtaba from Wccftech, even the major German outlet Mindfactory have seen huge response from fans – thousands of CPU have been sold in an instant and inventory exhausted in 2 hours!! This kind of sales is quite expected when you provide great leap in gaming as well as multi-threaded workloads in a single generational uplift.

Even those who have never opted for AMD because of its gaming performance will now opt for AMD as even the budget Ryzen 5 5600X gives a comparable gaming performance to that of Intel’s latest flagship Core i9-10900K. We only hope AMD does not screw up with the stocks, else this can be a great season for holiday shopppers.

There will be no iPhone SE in 1H 2021, probably in the second half

Earlier this year, Apple has introduced this second-gen model, named the iPhone SE. iPhone SE is nothing but an iPhone model that is comparatively cheaper and a mixture of specifications of the company’s older models. For example, the iPhone SE 2020 seems like it is the newer version of the older iPhone 8 as it borrows heavily from the iPhone 8. On the basis of the iPhone SE, Apple has launched the mini version of the iPhone 12.

But a recent report has come out which says that Apple will not bring any iPhone SE model in the first half of 2021. So, it will not be the same as what we’ve seen in the first quarter of 2020. As per the well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, we should not expect a new iPhone SE any time soon. So there will be no second-generation iPhone SE in the 1H of 2021. In place of that, we can expect a third-generation iPhone SE model in the second half of 2021. But as of now, we have confirmation about that matter.

In terms of pricing, the 3rd Gen iPhone SE should carry a pocket-friendly price range as we’ve seen that the iPhone SE remains Apple’s cheapest iPhone at US$399. iPhone SE has become very popular because of its shape and size. The users feel that this is the perfect size to handle an iPhone and makes it pretty comfortable to use. As it will be a 3rd Gen iPhone SE, so we can definitely expect some major updates in both hardware and software of it. But it has no connection with the upcoming iPhone 13 series. Kuo states that Apple will launch its iPhone 13 series in the month of September 2021.

Google to stop offering free photo storage

It’s been five years since Google started offering its unlimited free photo backups at “high quality.” However, now Google Photos will begin charging for storage once more than 15 gigs on the account have been used.

The new change in policy will be in effect from June 1st, 2021, and it comes with other Google Drive policy changes like counting Google Workspace documents and spreadsheets against the same cap. Google has also introduced a new policy of deleting data from inactive accounts. If the version has not been logged in for at least two years, its data will be deleted.

According to sources, photos, and documents uploaded before June 1st will not count against that 15GB cap. Only images uploaded after June 1st will begin counting against the cap. However, google taking away unlimited backup for “high quality” photos and video also means taking away one of its service’s most significant selling points.

Sources also claim that the android maker will send alerts and warnings users begin to approach the storage cap. A new storage management tool has also been added to Google Photos. It includes a tool that makes it easier to find and delete photos like blurry images or screenshots.

The sudden change in Google policy is related to its Google One storage. The service offers a free VPN for Android at some of its higher tiers. Google’s stated that “Today, more than 4 trillion photos are stored in Google Photos, and every week 28 billion new photos and videos are uploaded.

Since so many of you rely on Google Photos to store your memories, it’s important that it’s not just a great product but also continues to meet your needs over the long haul. To welcome even more of your memories and build Google Photos for the future, we are changing our unlimited High-quality storage policy”.

Google One pricing starts at $1.99 / month for 100GB and has tiers going through 200GB ($2.99 / month), 2TB ($9.99 / month), and up to 30TB ($149.99 / month).

ISL 2020-21: FC Goa officially announces Strategic Partnership with Bundesliga club RB Leipzig

Every one of you must have heard of the Bundesliga club RB Leipzig after they put up a strong performance in the Champions League last season and reached the semi-finals for the very first time in history.

RB Leipzig has been one of the rising forces in German football in recent times after their formation in 2009. The club worked its way up the league structure and within a period of 7 years, secured promotion to the Bundesliga, top-tier of German football, by 2016.

Now, Indian Super League club FC Goa has officially announced a three-year strategic partnership with RB Leipzig. This will help garner opportunities both in the football and business spheres for the two clubs.

In this initial three-years of strategic partnership, RB Leipzig’s academy coaches will come to Goa to conduct workshops. FC Goa will, in turn, send their coaches and players to Leipzig’s academy in order to learn from them.

FC Goa President & co-owner, Akshay Tandon, said, “I am delighted to have RB Leipzig as our partners. They have shown the world of football how to build from the ground up and that’s something we resonate with. It is our first international partnership and in RB Leipzig, we have the perfect partner.

“Partnerships such as these validate our long-term vision that we have at the Club. Our goal is to develop Indian footballers for the world stage and this partnership helps us create a visible pathway for all young aspiring footballers in India. We have a long way to go, but these steps help build a strong foundation for the future. This is a partnership that gives me even more belief in the direction we are headed. “

Speaking on the partnership RB Leipzig CEO, Oliver Mintzlaff said, “We look forward to our partnership with FC Goa. The club, with its young, modern and innovative approach suits us perfectly. We want to break new ground with RB Leipzig and now we look to take our first steps internationally.

“The discussions with those responsible at FC Goa were very open, convincing and effective from the start. The emerging Indian market is therefore an absolutely suitable starting point for our future endeavours. And last but not least, such a partnership offers the opportunity to present the Bundesliga in the best possible way and to act as an ambassador.”

According to Marcus Mergulhao, RB Leipzig will also visit India with their senior team in the recent future. The current situation of the pandemic is causing problems for now but they will definitely come to India.

This is an exciting time for Indian football as many European clubs are partnering with ISL clubs which will eventually help in the growth of Indian football.
