Top 10 players you didn’t know played for Real Madrid

Real Madrid is held as the pinnacle of club football. Los Blancos have won the Champions League a world-high 13 times. Throughout their history, they have been the most dominant force in Europe and have had some of the greatest names in world football don the white shirt of Real Madrid. 

However, not all who make it to Madrid manage to represent the club regularly. So, let’s look at the top 10 players that you probably didn’t know played for Real Madrid: 

10. Alvaro Negredo 

Negredo never made it to the first team but played 65 times for Casilla between 2005-2007. He is best known for his time at Sevilla from 2009 to 13 where he scored 85 goals in 182 appearances. 

9. Borja Valero

One of the key factors in Inter Milan making it to the Champions League again, Valero is now a part of Fiorentina. He was at Real Madrid from 2006-07 and only made two appearances before moving to Fiorentina. 

8. Ezequiel Garay 

Garay was at Real Madrid from 2008-11 but never really managed to become a regular at the club. He won the Copa del Rey in 10-11 and made 31 appearances at Madrid before joining Benfica. 

7. Juanfran

It is quite hard to think that an Atletico fan favourite was once part of their city rivals. After a lack of game time during his spell at Real from 2004-06, Juanfran moved to Atletico and spent 8 years with the Rojiblancos. 

6. Filipe Luis 

Another great Atletico player that was once a part of Real, Filipe Luis made 37 appearances for Castilla and none for the first team. He then moved out to Atletico and is now at Flamengo in Brazil. 

5. Nuri Sahin

Before gaining a fan following for his work at Dortmund, Sahin was a part of Real Madrid from 2011-14. His career was plagued by injuries, but he is now playing for Antalyaspor. 

4. Marcos Alonso

Marcos Alonso is a third-generation player, and his grandfather and father were pretty highly rated in Spain. He only made 1 appearance in a Real shirt before moving to Bolton, Fiorentina and now, Chelsea. 

3. Fabinho

Currently at Liverpool following a brilliant spell at Monaco, the Brazilian was once a part of Real Madrid. He only made 1 appearance from 2012-13 before moving away. 

2. Juan Mata

Mata never really made an appearance for the first team but was part of Castilla from 2003-07 before joining Valencia. He then moved out to Chelsea and became one of the best-attacking players in the world.

1. Samuel Eto’o 

While it might come off as a shocker given that Eto’o was so good for Barcelona, he was at Madrid from 1997-2000 and made only a couple of appearances for the club. Regarded as the best African player of all time, Eto’o went on to win trebles with Barca as well as Inter.

Xiaomi’s upcoming 8K TV will be called ‘Xiaomi Extreme Commemorative Edition’

In a previous article we have claimed that Xiaomi is expected to launch a new Mi TV Master with 8K resolution, now unsurprisingly to prove this assumption true the Digital Chat Station has revealed about the arrival of this upcoming TV, with a trading name of ‘Xiaomi Extreme Commemorative Edition’.

The TV will be launched on 28th September in China. Although the company has not yet shared any details of this upcoming TV they have released a promo poster of this upcoming device, revealing that the TV features 8K of high resolution and will support through a 5G as well.

According to Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi will also be providing a soundbar with this upcoming TV. But there are no further information is reported from the company officials, although the source has claimed that there is a ‘five-digit price’ at the bottom of the TV.

The development of this upcoming TV was shared on the Chinese microblogging website Weibo revealing the fact that the TV will use Mini-LED Technology. We are expecting that, this upcoming TV will become the successor of the previously launched Mi TV Master 65-inches 4K OLED in China.

  • Company’s promo poster

This upcoming TV will come with Mini-LED Technology that provides improved contrast ratio and deeper blacks compared to normal LED panels that are lit with regular LEDs, but the Mini-LEDs are not smaller than regular LEDs. This upcoming TV will also feature flat display technology.

Xiaomi has also claimed that this upcoming TV will set a benchmark for ultra-high-ends TVs for the next five years. It is expected that the TV will have a higher refresh rate than 60Hz, HDMI 2.1 ports, slim bezels, and many more high-end specifications.

We haven’t got any other information regarding this upcoming TV, but we are expecting that we will provide you all the important information regarding this topic soon.

IPL 2020: Virat Kohli fined Rs. 12 lakhs in RCB’s loss against KXIP

Having a bad day? Well, think about Royal Challenger Bangalore and Indian team captain Virat Kohli.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore took on Kings XI Punjab yesterday on day 7 of the Indian Premier League (IPL). RCB was considered a probable favourite keeping in mind their last match and recent form.

Kohli won the toss and elected to field so that his spinners won’t have to deal with the dew in the second innings. KXIP captain KL Rahul, however, had other plans as he smashed an unbeaten 132 to take KXIP to a mammoth score of 206. The star-studded RCB batting lineup couldn’t do much as well as they castled for only 109 runs. Kohli dropped two catches of Rahul and scored only 1 run as RCB faced a huge and embarrassing defeat by 97 runs!

Kohli got fined!

Poor performance by him and the team and dropped catches weren’t the only things that went wrong for Kohli. He was fined a massive sum of 12 lakh rupees! The fine was imposed because of slow over-rate.

The first innings lasted an hour and 51 minutes. This was considered an offence under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences.

KXIP captain KL Rahul, on the other hand, had a great day. He scored an unbeaten 132 off just 69 balls which included 14 fours and 7 massive sixes! He also made the record of the highest score by an Indian batsman in the IPL. The best part of his innings was his extension of the classic textbook shots. Without much slogging, he was able to take on express bowlers like Umesh Yadav and Dale Steyn.

The pace bowlers, especially in the depth, failed RCB again. Steyn conceded a sum of 57 runs in his 4 overs. Umesh Yadav was again expensive as he gave away 35 runs in his 3 overs. On the other hand, Yuzvendra Chahal was again fantastic. Navdeep Saini was also able to restrict the flow of runs a bit. Shivam Dubey tried to do the same but wasn’t spared at the end. RCB may consider making some changes like giving chance to the expensive buy Chris Morris. They can also have Mohammed Siraj in the side.

French Open 2020: Everything you need to know and how to watch the matches live in India?

The French Open qualifiers are currently underway, with the main tournament i.e. First Round due to begin on 27th September. Seeded 1 and 2 in the competition respectively, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal are expected to start as favourites. But if the recent US Open is any indication, then the likes of Daniil Medvedev, Dominic Thiem and Alexander Zverev are going to put up a real tough challenge to these powerhouses of tennis. But as has been the case for some time now, the real “King Of Clay” Rafael Nadal will want to bounce back with another trophy here. However, one big name that is set to be out due to injury, is the legendary Roger Federer.

Earlier today, it was reported that the attendance per day for the French Open is set to be limited to 1000. This will be done in line with the health protocols set down by the French Tennis Federation as well as the key personnel at the Roland Garros stadium. It means that compared to last year with attendances of 15,500 at a time, a meagre sum of 1000 spectators represents just 6% attendance. The massive losses incurred from gate receipts are definitely going to hurt the sport’s operations. But, due to the coronavirus pandemic, desperate times do indeed call for desperate measures.

However, the good part is that the organisers have been able to put up a tournament for tennis fans around the world to enjoy the action. From a financial perspective, the positive is that broadcasting revenues will not take that big a hit and will reinforce the French Open’s coffers.

It has now been confirmed that tennis fans in India can watch the French Open on Star Sports 2 and Star Sports Select 2. Aside from television, one can also live stream the games on the Disney+ Hotstar application. In conclusion, it proves to be an interesting tournament amidst difficult times, but the big challenge is – can anyone stop Rafael Nadal from winning yet again?

The surprising numbers behind free games’ in-app purchases

The second quarter of 2020 became the largest yet for mobile app downloads, usage and consumer spending in apps.

With this in mind, the personal finance experts at money.co.uk have analysed data from Google’s Play Store to find out how much free apps could be costing Brits with their in-app purchases.

How many free games have in-app purchases?

They looked at the Top Free Games section of the Google Play store, which contains the 50 most popular free apps organised by download, and then analysed the number of in-app purchases listed on each app’s information page. This analysis reveals:

  • Almost two-thirds (58%) of the games analysed had in-app as part of the gaming experience
  • Despite being ‘free apps’, the average in-app purchase costs £15.51 per item
  • If just 5% of users* who install apps make in-app purchases, the estimated revenue from free apps is an eye-watering £630,655,450.

How many free children’s apps have in-app purchases?

Alongside mobile gaming apps aimed at adults, the personal finance experts analysed the app categories specifically marketed towards children. We look at the categories ‘Ages up to 5’, ‘Ages 6-8’ and ‘Ages 9-12’ and then analysed the number of in-app purchases listed on each app’s information page. This analysis reveals:

  • 82% of children’s apps offer in-app purchases as part of the gaming experience
  • Despite being ‘free children’s apps’, the average in-app purchase costs £10.08 per item
  • If just 5% of users* who install apps make in-app purchases, the estimated revenue from children’s apps is an eye-watering £457,711,200.

How many users make in-app purchases?

In addition to research into Google’s Play Store, the experts surveyed over 2000 British parents** for their opinions on the app market in order to understand how this might have on younger app users. 

The research revealed:

  • 83% said that they have let their child use apps unattended, with 30% of that group letting that occur often, and 11% letting it happen always
  • Almost half of Brits (45%) have made an in-app purchase by accident, highlighting how easy it can be for anyone using an app to accidentally purchase an item
  • 4 in 5 (80%) British adults have made in-app purchases, with almost the same proportion (79%) admitting they had been put off from making a purchase because of the price. 

* This number is based upon the 2016 study on Global In-App Purchasing Trends, which stated that just 5% of users who install apps make in-app purchases,

West Ham United and Aston Villa keen on Chelsea striker Abraham

West Ham United and Aston Villa keen on Chelsea striker Abraham

Since the signing of Timo Werner, Tammy Abraham has faced some stiff competition in the starting XI. Olivier Giroud has also shown some good form since play resumed post-lockdown. 

With three very talented strikers at his disposal, Frank Lampard has some serious selection problems. And it is safe to say that at least one of the three strikers will be starved for minutes in this campaign. 

Keeping that in mind, fellow London based rivals West Ham United and Abraham’s former club Aston Villa are reportedly willing to lure the forward away from Stamford Bridge with the promise of guaranteed minutes for the young England international. 

The 22-year-old only had 11 minutes of Premier League action in the two matchdays of the 20/21 campaign. While he racked up two assists and a goal in his performance against Barnsley in the Carabao Cup, it is clear that the gaffer rates him below Werner at the very least.

While Aston Villa could be Abraham’s preferred destination it looks like Chelsea would prefer to negotiate a deal with West Ham United.

The reason being the Blues’ pursuit for their former player and now West Ham midfielder Declan Rice. Chelsea have been linked with the England international throughout the summer and even well before it. Should Chelsea negotiate a deal with the Hammers, they would look to try and prize Rice away from the London stadium.

On the other hand, Aston Villa are a team which could use some serious quality upfront to supplement the goal contributions of star midfielder Jack Grealish. Villa manager Sean Dyche rates Tammy Abraham very highly. Abraham enjoyed a very fruitful spell with Villa, spending the 18/19 season on loan from Chelsea guiding the former European champions to the Premier League once again 

The academy graduate Abraham is Chelsea through and through. But there is a chance he could move away from Stamford Bridge given the promise of minutes on the pitch.

3 Mobile Tech trends driving India’s Digital Revolution

The last two decades have witnessed revolutionary developments across all industries powered by digital technology. The advent of internet technology fueled a wave of innovations across the world. In India, new digital technologies have contributed to the rapid transformation in society. The country has now emerged as one of the leaders in digital technology.

Of all the digital innovations in the country, mobile technology has emerged as the most influential. A mobile phone is no longer an option in Indian society but a necessity. It has supplanted all other communication technologies in less than 20 years.

Mobile phones are integral in virtually every aspect of modern life. From communication, business transactions, banking, education to social engagements, these devices are now essential. As the demand for mobile services continues, new tech trends continue emerging.

This post looks at some of the mobile tech trends driving the digital revolution in the country.

Mobile Casinos

For casino lovers in the country, these are interesting times as some of the biggest gambling operators continue targeting the market. Local players can now enjoy a wide range of games at sites such as Genesiscasino in India, ranging from slots, table games, live casino games, specialty games, and more. By offering enticing bonuses, using local currency, and a wide range of payment options, mobile casino operators spur the growth of the online casino industry in the country. Equally, mobile casinos take advantage of most of the technical capacities of your phone, making use of live-streaming and visual slots, as well as other features. For most mobile enthusiasts, online casinos are worth checking out.

Mobile Gaming

The Indian gaming industry is among the most robust in the world. This is mainly due to an active community of app developers. With more people now going online through their smartphones, mobile gaming has evolved into a top trend.

Gaming innovations such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) continue to shape the industry. Players can now access the latest games on mobile through websites or gaming apps. It is one of the key drivers of the fast-growing local gaming market.

By 2022, the country is expected to have 820 million smartphone users and this will drive mobile gaming even further. Today, Indian players can enjoy popular games from 8 Ball Pool, Clash Royale, Candy Crush Soda Saga, Ludo King, Clash of Clans, Teen Patti, Indian Rummy, and Carrom King to mention a few.

Mobile Artificial Intelligence

Two decades ago, artificial intelligence (AI) sounded like a futuristic idea. It was popular in sci-fi literature and no one thought it would be one of the biggest trends in technology. Today, artificial intelligence is part of modern life. A 2018 AI report said India was third in terms of Artificial Intelligence implementation.

AI mobile software includes Siri, Cortana, Alexa, and Google Assistant. Voice recognition is another aspect of AI that’s common in mobile apps. AI technology helps deliver a better user experience on mobile.

Final Thoughts

Mobile technology offers immense opportunities for businesses across all industries in India. As more people switch to mobile, phone manufacturers and software developers will continue developing new ways of utilizing this technology. These innovations will impact the digital landscape in the country for years to come.

Gran Turismo 7 confirmed for PS5 and what we know so far

Sony has officially confirmed Gran Turismo 7 for its upcoming next-gen PS5 console, but it didn’t inform about the release date of the game and whether that the game will be among the PS5 launch games or not.

The game was announced on June 11, 2020, at the PlayStation 5 reveal event and during the event, Sony announced release windows as far away as 2022. Here is what we know about the game –

About Gran Turismo: 7 and its Gameplay

Developed by Polyphony Digital and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, Gran Turismo: 7 is an upcoming PS5 exclusive racing video game. It will be the eighth main installment in the Gran Turismo series. Check out the gameplay trailer of the game down below.

The main menu revealed in the gameplay trailer looks to be similar to that of the menu style of Gran Turismo 4. The trailer showcased many classic features such as the return of traditional racing tracks and vehicles, Tuning Parts Shop, Championships, Special Events, Used Cars dealership, Driving School, Driving School, GT Auto while still retaining the new GT Sport Mode, Brand Central, and Discover that was introduced in Gran Turismo Sport.

Right now full 8K support in Gran Turismo 7 still appears doubtful, and the support of PSVR is still a question to be cleared. The game will take advantage of the PlayStation 5’s Dualsense controller to provide haptic feedback. The dedicated ray-tracing hardware and Tempest Engine will deliver a 3D spatial audio and real-time ray tracing effects, to the game and thus enhancing the player immersion experience.
