Christian Eriksen wants to leave Inter Milan in January

0

Christian Eriksen has asked to leave Inter Milan after just 10 months of joining the Serie-A side. Inter Milan’s sporting director Giuseppe Marotta has confirmed the potential transfer.

The Danish midfielder left Tottenham Hotspurs after 7 years and joined Inter Milan last January. The 28-year-old midfielder has played 305 games for the London side and scored 69 goals.

He has faced a tough time in Italy. In his first 33 games for the Italian side, he has scored only 4. He is yet to score this season for Inter.

Inter Milan CEO, Beppe Marotta said, “Eriksen? If some player wants to leave the club, we don’t keep him. Christian is acting like a professional but in January we’ll decide about his future. There are no advanced talks with any club at the moment, we’ll see next weeks.”

“Conte responded in an expansive fashion. We can’t keep a player who at the moment is asking to be sold.”

“We will make the right evaluations. At the moment he’s available and Conte is using him in a way that is respectful of the club.”

“Offers? At the moment they have yet to arrive. Should that change we will try to find the right combination.”

Christian Eriksen was linked with Manchester United in January before he decided to join Inter Milan. If he finally leaves the club in January Manchester United may go for him as well. Some report suggests Manchester United and Inter Milan are willing to swap Eriksen with Fred.

India, November 2020: This November, 9stacks, a leading pioneer of online poker, is all set to host the highly anticipated ‘Heads Up – Poker Championship’. Heads Up play is considered one of the most strategic forms of play in poker because the game is against the player and not just the cards. In such Heads Up matches, aggression becomes one of the most important factors because players are posting blinds every single hand and waiting for great cards is just not an option anymore.

Beginning from 24 November 2020, the Heads Up Championship is designed in the No-Limit Hold’em format. Starting with a buy-in of INR 5500 and no second chances, players are expected to knock out their opponent in every level and keep climbing the ladder to victory. Beginning with 64 players, the game advances by reducing the number of players by half. In the end, the last two players have to compete against each other for the final Trophy, cash prize and the title. The top four players get rewarded.

With two weeks of thrilling action, the winner bags the title of Heads Up – Poker Championship of India, takes home 200K prize money along with the winner’s trophy!

For the first time, we’ve been able to conceptualize a tournament in this format which will identify ONE winner out of a select field of 64 players – someone truly deserving to be called a CHAMPION. Looking forward to some intense matches!”

Haaland and Favre all praises for young Youssoufa Moukoko

0

The talks were there from the very beginning of the season, and Youssoufa Moukoko did indeed manage to become the youngest Bundesliga player ever, aged 16 years and 1 day as he came on for Erling Haaland in Dortmund’s 5-2 victory over Hertha Berlin. 

Despite only seeing about 8 minutes of game time, Moukoko made his debut from the bench. The German wonderkid has been labelled as the next big thing in world football and has been hyped for greatness by Haaland as well. 

“I think he’s the biggest talent in the world right now. 16 years and one day, that’s quite amazing. He has a big career ahead of him,” Haaland told ESPN. 

When asked about his own talent in comparison, he added: “I’m over 20 years, so I’m getting old now, so that’s how it is.”

Haaland had just scored four goals to pull Dortmund back from 1-0 down in the first half, and the words from the Golden Boy could soon be those on everyone’s lips. 

Moukoko joined Dortmund from St Pauli’s youth academy and has since gone on to score an unbelievable 141 goals from only 89 games across all competitions. He has also managed to provide 27 assists during that time. 

“The first time I arrived I made a video because I’ll never experience another day like that,” Moukoko told Borussia Dortmund TV. “I could say: ‘Now I’m with the first team’ and it was a whole new feeling.”

“It was amazing. I went home and I still couldn’t get my head around it. I was so happy in training, but afterwards I understood that it was what I’d worked for. I’m here now and I need to do my best.”

Moukoko, standing at 1.79 metres tall, primarily operates as a centre forward just like Erling Haaland. He has been capped twice for Germany’s Under 20 team but is yet to score for them. 

Dortmund manager Lucien Favre had this to say after the German wonderkid made his debut in the Bundesliga:

“The debut is good for him, good for the team. He is still young and we have many options in attack. We will see. But through his efforts and commitment, he should again get a chance in the first team.”

IPL 2021: New rules may be introduced in IPL from next season

Indian Premier League 2020 ended just a few days ago and Mumbai Indians became the champion for the record 5th times this year. But BCCI and IP Governing Council have already started to plan about the next year’s IPL.

They are considering adding two more teams in IPL to make this a 10 team league for some extra excitement. There are some more rules that may be added next year.

A BCCI official told, “If the league is expanded, few tweaks in the rules and format will surely take place but it is too early to discuss at this stage.”

DMIPL11809 IPL 2021: New rules may be introduced in IPL from next season

4 big rules that can change in IPL:

  • Playing Format:

The playing format may be changed if the number of teams is increased. There will be two different groups. All the teams of the same group will play each other.

  • Increasing of Foreign Players:

The number of foreign players may be increased from 4 to 5. It will make the league more competitive with a perfect mixture of foreigners and Indian players.

  • Power Surge:

The rule is going to be introduced first in the Australian Big Bash League. IPL wants to introduce the rule in IPL as well. Power Surge is just splitting the power play. After the implementation of this rule, the mandatory power play will be reduced to the first 4 overs rather than the first 6. The batting team can use the ‘Power Surge’ of 2 overs from any time after the 10th over.

  • X-Factor Player:

Another rule that is going to be used in BBL this year, may also end up being implemented in IPL. The teams will have the ability to change strategy at the 10 over mark of the first innings and an X-Factor player can be substituted in place of another player.

These new rule changes may increase the excitement of IPL much more next year.

The list of Golden Boot winners in Indian Super League history so far

Although the Indian Super League has been in existence for just six seasons now, there have been many talented Indian and foreigners who have featured in the competition. However, some have been amazing and a cut above the rest who have bamboozled fans with their trickery, skills and of course, goals.

Here we take a look at the list of Golden Boot winners in ISL history –

Elano Blumer – 8 Goals – 2014/15

ISL 2017: Iain Hume to Elano; Here are the top scorers of Indian Super  League, see pics - The Financial Express

One of the marquee signings for the ISL in the initial years, Brazilian attacking midfielder Elano was sensational for Chennaiyin FC and single-handedly delivered some wins for the club. He won the award in the inaugural season and rightly so, with a few stunning free kicks and short-range goals to get the most amount of strikes.

Stiven Mendoza – 13 Goals – 2015/16

The dynamic Colombian centre-forward was instrumental in Chennaiyin’s success that year to land them the ISL title, with a brace in the final as well. His pressing intensity and eye for goal meant that he was always a threat to opposition defences.

Marcelinho – 10 Goals – 2016/17

FC Pune City snaps ISL golden boot winner Marcelinho - Sportstar

Although Delhi Dynamos did not really put in a great effort to reach the finals or even qualify for the playoffs, their sole shining light came in the form of Marcelo Pereira aka Marcelinho. His 10 goals were a symbol of some excellent football played by the Brazilian attacking midfielder and that included a few scorchers as well.

Ferran Corominas – 18 Goals – 2017/18

ISL 2018-19: Is Ferran Corominas a big-match flop for FC Goa? | Goal.com

What a signing was Corominas or ‘Coro’, as he was lovingly called by Goa fans. The striker brought athleticism, energy and most importantly, a clinical threat every time he took a shot at goal. He scored 18 goals in 16 games and was largely effective for the team, who reached the Playoffs stage that year.

The only player to win the Golden Boot twice in history, Coro’s goals in the league stage went a long way in helping Goa reach the final for a second time. But the sheer consistency from him eased a lot of pressure on the team’s attacking burden and rightly so.

Nerijus Valskis – 15 Goals – 2019/20

ISL Awards: Nerijus Valskis, Hugo Boumous win big

Emerging only last season for Chennaiyin FC, the Lithuanian was absolutely ballistic in the matches he played. Scoring 15 goals in 18 games, he led the team to the Playoffs last season and was a big influence in the final third of the pitch.

How to enable WhatsApp Disappearing Messages feature in India?

The world’s most popular free messaging platform, WhatsApp, started rolling out the disappearing message feature from the first week of this month. Now, it is already distributed across almost all the states of India.

The new Disappearing Feature allows users to set a timer for messages that will automatically disappear after 7 days without leaving any tress. If any of the sender or receiver takes a backup or screenshot or forward that without enabling the feature again. In case you still don’t know how to use the new feature, here are the steps –

Personal Chats…

  1. Open the WhatsApp chat
  2. Click on the person name or number
  3. Scroll down a bit
  4. Click on ‘Disappearing messages’
  5. Hit on ‘On’/’Off’
  • WhatsApp Disappearing Message Step 1_TechnoSports.co.in
  • WhatsApp Disappearing Message Step 2_TechnoSports.co.in

There you go to avail the feature.

For Groups, the process is the same. The only difference is, only admins can change the settings.

After enabling or disabling the ‘Disappearing Feature’, a writing message will appear in the chat to confirm the process.

Disappearing Message is not the only addition. WhatsApp recently added some more interesting features, mainly in the Indian version. The WhatsApp Pay feature is the main, though it still needs time to reach every Indian. Some other features are media management and the Always Mute option.

There is a lot to come yet, as WhatsApp is continuously working to a better user experience more.

FA’s stance on restrictions for heading balls can prevent dementia for players in the future

0

With the evolution of the beautiful game over the years, priority is being given to the safety of the players. One of the best examples of that is the immediate stoppage directed by the referee when there is a head injury involved. 

Manchester United legend Nobby Stiles recently passed away after a month-long battle with dementia. His contemporaries and England teammates Jack Charlton, Martin Peters and Ray Wilson also had the disease before their deaths. 

In 2019, the PFA Charity-funded study, FIELD, found that footballers had 3.5 times the death rate from neurodegenerative conditions than the general population.

cahill head injury FA's stance on restrictions for heading balls can prevent dementia for players in the future

The FA has plans to invest in research that helps determine whether heading the ball makes players prone to brain diseases. However, right now, children under 12 years old are advised to not be heading the ball. 

PFA chairman Ben Purkiss said: “Science has been developing quickly in this area, and we need to make an urgent intervention based on the evidence that is available now.

“A reduction of heading in training is a practical and straightforward step. We will be engaging with members, former members and their families to work on this area within the scope of the PFA’s new advisory group, where decisions will be made on the basis of expert advice.”

Frank Lampard agreed with the idea of not having the younger children engage in heading the ball, saying:

“The rules need to be stronger to make sure we’re not making younger children head it if they don’t need to. In the development game, that’s more than possible.

“We have to start with youth football. When children are developing, we can control the levels of training. Anything we can do to make things safer, we should.

“I think we can work up the pyramid. Already, I’m certainly considering it in terms of how we train here because of the seriousness of the issue.

“At the professional level, the small gains are huge and we need to make sure we’re working under the same guidelines and trust each other that we are.

“At the moment, there are no guidelines. It has to be something that goes across the board.”
