Borussia Dortmund has always been to the club to nurture young talents and make them big. They have a rich history of developing talents. Their scouts spot all the emerging talents at a very young age and then develop them into world-class players.
From Robert Lewandowski to Ousmane Dembele, many players have been made into stars by Dortmund. Most of them sign for top European clubs, unlike Marco Reus who stayed loyal to Dortmund.
The recent examples of Borussia Dortmund’s talent reserve are Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland. Jadon Sancho is wanted by a large number of top European clubs like Manchester United while Haaland has taken the world of football by storm. He has been their latest youth sensation.
Now Borussia Dortmund has signed another youngster from Real Madrid. They have signed Reinier Jesus on a two-season loan deal.
Dortmund shares a good relationship with the LaLiga giants. They had previously signed Achraf Hakimi on loan from Real Madrid and made him a world-class player.
Real Madrid released an official statement: “Real Madrid C. F. and Borussia Dortmund have reached an agreement over the loan of Reinier Jesus for the next two seasons in a deal that runs up until 30 June 2022.”
Real Madrid hopes that Dortmund turns their magic wand once again and develops Reinier Jesus into one of the best emerging talents. The Brazilian didn’t get any game time last season at Madrid so moving to Dortmund is the best option he could have chosen.
Manu Kumar Jain has tweeted saying that this year is the year of “9”, which means that Redmi India has launched all the Redmi series with the number “9” this year. In 2020 Redmi launched Redmi Note 9 series including Redmi Note 9, Note 9 Pro, and Note 9 Pro Max. Earlier this month Redmi has released the Redmi 9 Prime and now this time Mr. Jain is teasing that Redmi 9 is on the way with his creative tweet.
The teaser video and Manu’s tweet highlights on the Redmi 9 model that will come soon. We are expecting a series of Redmi 9 to come to India. The Redmi 9A and Redmi 9C have already been launched outside India, and this time the company might bring both the devices or any one of them for the Indian market.
A few days ago Redmi 9A was spotted in WiFi-Alliance certification and we anticipated the launch is nearing soon. This time the company might launch more than one Redmi 9 smartphones that are Redmi 9A and Redmi 9C. But the hint has been dropped just today so there is enough time before the launch for more details to surface about the Redmi 9 smartphone(s).
The Redmi 9A was launched with a 6.53” HD+ Dot Drop display. The display will have a resolution of 720×1600 px with a 20:9 aspect ratio. There will be no Gorilla glass protection. It will a budget-friendly device with a single rear camera of 13 MP and the front camera will be 5MP.
The phone will run on MediaTek Helio G25 chipset processor. This is a 12nm process technology, that is up to 2.0GHz. The phone will be available in 2GB LPDDR4X RAM along with 32GB storage. The phone will be powered by a 5000mAh battery which can be charged by a 10W charger provided in the box. It will have a triple-card slot for two sim-cards and one memory card.
Destructive Indian opener Rohit Sharma is now nominated for the country’s highest sporting honour, Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award. He is the 5th sportsperson to get nominated for this prestigious award. The other 4 names are wrestler Vinesh Phogat, women’s hockey captain Rani Rampal, table tennis star Manika Batra and Rio Paralympic gold-winning high jumper Mariyappan Thangavelu.
Rohit, who is a right-handed batsman started his career in year of 2007. He was a promising player but, unfortunately, missed the chance to be in the squad of 2007 T-20 World Cup. He did not get that much fame being a middle-order batsman and a part-time bowler at that time.
He fought and trained hard and made a massive comeback to the Indian cricket team as an opening batsman. In the test match against South Africa on 5th October 2019, Sharma became the first batsman to score two centuries in a match on his first appearance as an opening batsman. In the same series, he broke Shimron Hetmyer’s record for the highest number of sixes in a Test series.
The rest is history. Now he is one of the finest opening batsmen of all time. He holds the record of highest individual runs scored by a batsman in an ODI with a massive 264 runs scored against Sri Lanka. He was also the highest run-scorer in 2019 ICC World Cup which is 648. He is not only a destructive opener but also a promising captain. Being the captain of IPL side Mumbai Indians he has won the IPL title 4 freaking times (2013,2015,2017,2019).
Hitman will be the fourth cricketer to win this award. Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni and captain Virat Kohli have been already conferred with the Khel Ratna. (Tendulkar: 1998, Dhoni: 2007 and Kohli: 2018).
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, things will not be normal. The award ceremony will be conducted virtually. Otherwise, it is held at Rashtrapati Bhavan. The date of the ceremony is 29th August. That day is celebrated as the National Sports Day to mark the birth anniversary of Hockey legend Dhyan Chand.
Other than this, fierce Indian bowler, Ishant Sharma has found himself as one of the nominees for the Arjuna award. He has played 97 Tests and 80 ODIs for India and he is the owner of 400 international wickets.
The Apex Legends Season 6 gets released on August 18th for most regions. It provided us with several new updates, a new Battle Pass, and a new Apex Legends character, Rampart.
Besides it also comes with other additional features and tweaks, such as modifications in the map and a brand-new crafting system.
What Apex Legends Season 6 update contains?
The Apex Legends Season 6 update is named “Boosted”. The new update contains the following:-
Series 6 Ranked mode
In Series 6 of Rank mode some alterations have been made in the ranking Sysytem.
New Legend – Rampart
Her complete name is Gaea, Ramya Parekh, an “expert modder who made her name in underground gauntlet circuit”. She is a private business owner who merely needs a big gun and a backpack full of scrap metal to get by in the dangerous wild west world of the Outlands. Her business went down and she was left with an Apex Card. Her motto is “turn crap into gold”.
While running her own modding shop, Ramya Parekh (aka Rampart) built her rep in underground gauntlet circuits. But success has a way of making enemies.
Mark Yampolsky, the Systems Designer on Apex Legends stated that “In Apex Legends Season 6: Boosted, we’re adding a new way for players to build out the loot in their inventory – Crafting”.
The new crafting system allows you to collect materials to replicate or upgrades weapons and equipment from stations dotted throughout the map.
World's Edge has been revamped with new pathways, rocket launch sites, blast walls, and more!
Read on to learn more about the map updates and changes coming when Season 6 launches on August 17. 👇
Now the map includes a new Launch Site area within the World’s Edge, the replacement of the Drill Site with the Staging section in the middle of the map, the train stops, and the Countdown facility, .
SHOCKING NEW WEAPON: VOLT
A new SMG is added which packs a lot of punch
Season 6 Battle Pass
The battle pass will contain 100 levels of new unlocks, including Legendary skins, Apex Packs, Loading Screens, and Music Packs.
Sports are coming back in a big way. Across the globe, from UEFA Champions League competition to the Major League Baseball season, international cricket tests and National Hockey League and National Basketball Association playoffs, many have returned to their field or arena of play.
Golf recently held its first major, the PGA Championship. Formula One is in full gear. The rescheduled Indianapolis 500 and Kentucky Derby, two of the annual staples of the sporting landscape, will soon be contested. U.S. Open tennis is slated to get underway later this month.
Everywhere a sports fan looks, it appears to be business as usual in terms of the games that professionals play.
And yet, it is not. There are no spectators sitting in the seats at these matches. Play-by-play broadcasters are often calling the action off-site from television monitors. Zoom calls are the chosen method for post-game interviews with participants.
The fact of the matter is that the landscape of sports has changed and will continue to be required to adapt to survive and thrive, even in a post-COVID-19 pandemic world.
Evidence of this so-called new reality can be seen in preparation for the Kentucky Derby. The first leg of American thoroughbred racing’s Triple Crown, hosts Churchill Downs and the Kentucky state government worked together to come up with a proposal for fans to attend the event.
However, the total attendance will be limited to 23,000, a far cry from the race-record 170,513 who crammed into the track for the 2015 race. All in attendance will receive a courtesy “Healthy at the Track” bag, which will include a disposable mask, a pocket-sized hand sanitizer and a personal stylus for no-contact self-service wagering.
Although betting windows will be open, bettors will be strongly encouraged to place wagers online via their mobile devices.
Technology is playing a role in making attendance at the Derby a possibility, just as technology figures to play a leading role in the way sports will be presented going forward.
Live Streaming
Even when the pandemic fades, there figures to be a constituency of people reluctant to pile into a public venue and sit shoulder to shoulder next to strangers who may not in fact be perfect. It could be due to underlying conditions that make them more susceptible to serious health issues should they contract COVID-19. It might simply be a matter of personal choice.
Regardless, the leagues are discovering right now that there are still powerful ways to get their product in front of the eyes of people, and you don’t even need to be up and front and personal with them.
Live streaming isn’t something new but suddenly, the reality of how much a part it will be in broadcasting games to the masses in the future has ramped up in significance. People attending already spent much of their in-game experience staring at their smartphones.
Fans watching as teams compete all-day in NBA and NHL playoff action from the protected confines of their COVID-resistant bubbles have taken to social media platforms, willingly suggesting that they’d happily sacrifice the chance to attend a game to get to watch games one after the other without leaving their couch.
The quality of live streams on mobile devices has dramatically improved. With the rapid expansion of legalized online sports betting across the USA, it’s vitally important to the online sportsbooks. When bettors put money down on a match, they want to be able to watch it.
Can’t go to an event? Virtual reality can make a fan feel like they are actually there. And no one needs to leave their living room to experience the feelings.
Through its partnership with Xfinity, NASCAR has added a unique virtual reality element to race day for fans that are watching from the confines of their own home. Sit in the front row at the track. Watch pit stops unfold from a perch on the wall along pit road. Not close enough? No worries. They’ll even put you at the wheel of one of the cars in the race, where you’ll feel everything but the G-force trying to pull you out of the vehicle.
RB Leipzig was beaten by Paris Saint-Germain last night and was knocked out of the UEFA Champions League. Paris was surely the favourite to win the match and they had done it quite easily. They beat Leipzig 3-0 to go to their first-ever UCL final.
It was a dream run for RB Leipzig this season. The courage they showed, the football they played was excellent. But that was not enough to win the hearts of the neutrals, especially in Germany. But why?
There is a long history behind that. Football is always a game of love and passion. But in the recent past, a huge amount of money has come into the transfer scenario. Football fans never accepted this in a good way. The same goes for RB Leipzig.
Germany is the land of fan politics, ultras and fan ownership associated with every club. The ‘50+1 rule’ is followed to keep fans in control of the fates of their clubs. No single person or company can have more than half a club’s shares. But RB Leipzig didn’t follow this rule.
RB Leipzig was promoted to Bundesliga in 2016. Red Bull, a renowned energy drink company, had a clear ambition to buy and promote their band as soon as possible. So, they wanted the rapid success of the club.
But why football clubs want to win trophies? Why do they want to make more money? Because they want to re-invest that money to win more games and trophies. But for RB Leipzig that is not the only thing. Their ultimate aim is to get as many eyes as possible on the Red Bull brand.
For German fans, this is not acceptable at all. Spending more money, distorting the opposition team is not the game for them. For them, football is all about passion, beauty, loyalty many more. So RB Leipzig’s elimination means the win of football for them.
The US Government add more restrictions on Huawei this Monday. From now, the Chinese technology giant can’t even access any technology produced by US companies. Along with it, the US Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) enlisted 38 more Huawei affiliates to the Entity List, to restrict their businesses with US companies. The US Commerce Department stated, “These actions, effective immediately, prevent Huawei’s attempts to circumvent U.S. export controls to obtain electronic components developed or produced using U.S. technology”.
From now, instead of giving a temporary license, the department is giving limited authorization to Huawei so that it can maintain the US networks which are based on its requirements. Reports saying that any Huawei phones will not get Android updates any more reflecting its leave from the collaborations with US tech companies.
On the other hand, the US is also pressurizing other foreign companies, for example – Taiwan bases TSMC, to work with Huawei. This company can’t apply any US Technology to any foreign-made chips. The US State Department charged Huawei too, of “stealing U.S. technology, conspiracy, wire fraud, bank fraud, racketeering, and helping Iran to evade sanctions, amongst other charges”.
As a result of increasing the US-China tension, the Chinese firm Huawei recently announced to stop manufacturing their Kirin SoC, from next month, that generally powers its own smartphones and tablets. It’s “a huge loss for Huawei” no doubt – said the consumer business CEO Richard Yu.

The Blaugranas have officially announced the arrival of Ronald Koeman and we already knew he was being appointed and even Bartomeu even told yesterday about his arrival. Today, FC Barcelona has officially announced Ronald Koeman as its next head coach, who himself has a lot of things attached to this club as he was a legend at the club playing for about six seasons.
Koeman is the ideal man for Barca because he knows how the club works and has a lot of experience under his belt. He was himself coached by the legendary Johan Cruyff and obviously, still the club follows Cruyff’s principle of playing football, so having Ronald Koeman as the coach is a natural advantage for the club undoubtedly.
The 57 years old had a contract with the Dutch international team until 2022 and to sign him, Barça has had to pay compensation of about five million euros. The coach has also decided to sacrifice part of his salary to help Barça meet that payment and Koeman has signed for two seasons, until June 30, 2022.
The Dutchman also achieved his dream to coach the team in which he triumphed as a player under Johan Cruyff. When he came to Barça he became the second most expensive signing in the Club’s history behind Diego Maradona.
As a Barça player Koeman made 264 official appearances, scoring 88 goals, many of them from his trade mark free kicks on his way to becoming the highest scoring defender in the Club’s history. Koeman claimed 10 trophies in his time as a blaugrana: four La Liga titles, a European Cup, a Copa del Rey, a European Super Cup and three Spanish Super Cups.
The best moment for Koeman as a player of Barcelona would obviously be the Wembley final in 1992, scoring the only goal of the game, that too in extra time winner giving the Blaugranes a 1-0 victory over Sampdoria, this gave their first ever victory in the European Cup and secured his place in FC Barcelona history.
Apart from coaching the Dutch team, Koeman has extensive experience as manager of Ajax, Benfica, PSV Eindhoven, Valencia, AZ Alkmaar, Feyenoord, Southampton, and Everton. He has now become the fifth Dutchman to coach FC Barcelona after Rinus Michels, Johan Cruyff, Louis Van Gaal and Frank Rijkaard.
😍 ¡Vuelve el héroe de Wembley’92! La historia de @RonaldKoeman, una leyenda azulgrana 💙❤
Koeman is straight and tough when it comes to demanding responsibilities and obligations, however, he is affable in dealing with the player if he is professional and fulfills his instructions. It will be a tough job to revive the current situation at the club and he has to deal with a lot of things in these extraordinary circumstances. Koeman will formally be presented by the club in the evening today.
