Arsenal sign former Chelsea winger Willian on a free transfer

Willian had already officially announced that he will be leaving Chelsea this summer after he decided not to extend his contract with Chelsea.

The 32-year-old joined Chelsea from Anzhi Makhachkala for £30m in 2013. In these seven seasons at Chelsea, he has been a very important player. He has helped the club to win 2 Premier League titles and 1 Europa League trophy.

Willian has now joined Arsenal on a free transfer for three years. The Brazilian will now wear the No 12 shirt at the Emirates.

Willian scored nine goals and provided seven assists for his teammates during his 36 appearances in the Premier League this season.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said: “It is the character that I want. The kind of player that when things get difficult in the game that wants to take responsibility, wants the ball and wants to win the game for the team.”

“I believe he’s a player that can really make a difference for us. We have been monitoring him for the past few months, we had a clear intention to strengthen in the attacking midfielder and the winger positions [and] he is a player that gives us a lot of versatility, he can play in three or four different positions.”

Trent Alexander-Arnold wins the Premier League Young Player of the 2019-20 Season

0

Premier League had already announced the nominees for the Tag Heuer Young Player of the 2019-20 Season.

Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold had a great season, but Manchester United’s trio of Greenwood, Martial and Rashford and Chelsea duo Mount and Pulisic were also in the race. The outsiders who could probably cause an upset to the big names were Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish and United’s on-loan goalkeeper at Sheffield United, Dean Henderson.

Premier League has now officially announced the winner of the Young Player of the Season award and it is none other than Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Alexander-Arnold played a massive role as Liverpool lifted the Premier League trophy for the first time in 30 years. He played in all of the 38 Premier League matches. He provided a record 13 assists and in the process broke his own record for assists by a defender in a single Premier League season. He also scored four goals and showed that he is one of the best emerging talents in world football right now.

The 21-year old is proud for receiving the award. He wants to play his whole career in Liverpool.

Alexander-Arnold said: “[Playing abroad] is not something I’ve ever really thought about. I’ve always loved Liverpool. I’ve always supported them. I’ve always played for them.”

“So, I’ve never had that reason to think about it. Yeah, still now, I wouldn’t sit there in my room and daydream about playing somewhere else. Right now, I’m a Liverpool player. I love the club more than anything. I love everything about it. I love the fans, the people. I love the city. So, no, why would I think about that?”

Trent Alexander-Arnold is a Liverpool youth academy product. They have probably got one of the best players in the years to come.

Xavi wants Puyol and Jordi Cruyff as his coaching assistants at Barcelona

0

Former Barcelona legend and current coach of Al Sadd, Xavi Hernandez is seen as the rightful heir to the Camp Nou throne for managing the first-team. Although Quique Setien is currently at the helm, Xavi is considered the man to replace him in the near future.

Before appointing Setien, Barcelona contacted with Xavi but he felt it was too soon to come to the Camp Nou and ruin the moment. Xavi’s commitment to Barcelona is so great that he was not willing to come in to cover patches. His goal was to arrive at the club when it has a consolidated and solid project across all levels, from the academy to the first team.

So he decided to continue coaching at Al Sadd but he too knows that he will finally come back to Barcelona. But when he comes back he wants a ‘dream team’ of coaching assistants including the likes of Carles Puyol and Jordi Cruyff beside him.

Xavi said in an interview: “I am delighted to continue gaining coaching experience and challenging myself, but of course it would be a privilege for me to train Barca one day. I’d want a dream team, with Jordi Cruyff, Carles Puyol and some current players.”

“I would like to make a team with important people who know the club, people who I trust and will be loyal to me.”

“We are talking about Carles Puyol, who was captain of Barca, and Jordi Cruyff, a very good businessman and with a lot of experience in the technical secretary. I am a team person; I don’t want to decide alone. Obviously I would like to be very in tune with everyone.”

“In the locker room, there can be no negativity, nothing toxic. I would like to enter with people from my environment to form a good team.”

Xavi also commented on Messi: “Messi needs Barca and Barca needs Messi. They have to make him happy because with him they will win more titles. I maintain a great friendship with him, I respect him a lot.”

“He’s a competitive animal, he always wants to win and for ten years he has been the best footballer in the world. Hopefully, we can meet again on a professional level. Having the best player in history on your team means you always have an ace to win.”

Xavi and Puyol played together in Barcelona for 15 years. Together they won six LaLiga titles, two Copa del Rey titles, three Champions Leagues, the UEFA Super Cup and two FIFA World Cup Cups.

The Camp Nou is probably going to witness the iconic duo in the dugout once again very soon.

Nélson Semedo feels always special returning to Lisbon

0

Barcelona’s Portuguese right-back has arrived at Lisbon to play against Bayern Munich for the Champions League and it’s his home country and also for the fact that he was born in Lisbon only. He used to play for the local giants Benfica before joining Barça.

Semedo did express his views over the crucial match against the Bundesliga champions today and undoubtedly, he will be a key man to defend against the German team’s fearsome attack:

About the match

“We know how they set up and how they play from the back, we will be attentive.” 

“More than anything we will focus on ourselves and putting in the best performance possible and scoring. If we play well we will have a chance to reach the semi finals.” 

Nélson Semedo feels always special to return to Lisbon

“One of the keys will be at the back and not giving them chances.” 

“We will not be able to have the ball all the time as they won’t want to defend all the time. We have to have the ball as much as possible because that is the best way to defend. We will play our match with our style.” 

Personal feelings

“We have positive pressure to win everything. This season we were not able to win the league but we have the chance to win the Champions League and it’s a great motivation.” 

“I would be very happy to win the trophy in the Estadio do Sport, that would be the cherry on the cake.” 

Leo Messi

“When he gets the ball and I behind him, I know he is capable of the impossible, as he did against Napoli at Camp Nou.” 

“Normally I play behind him and it’s amazing to see what he does. When he takes free kicks and I am behind him with a perfect view. He’s an incredible player.” 

Barcelona wants to swap Nelson Semedo for Man City's Joao Cancelo

Lisbon

“Lisbon is a great place in many ways: the people, the colours, the language, the architecture. It’s one of the nicest places in the world, not just in Europe. The climate is great as well. It’s a spectacular city.” 

“I started to play football on the streets of Lisbon with my neighbours and people older than me. Little by little I got better and better and I grew which helped. It will be a special match as Lisbon is where everything started and the doors opened for me in footballing terms.” 

“The Estádio do Sport is really nice and has room for 65,000 fans. There is the red of Benfica and the famous eagle that lives at the stadium. The ground has its own energy and history and it’s a great place to play football.” 

This will be a quarter-final game to remember and its the first time when Barcelona will be the “underdogs” facing the Bundesliga champions, who have never won to a Spanish club for the last 5 encounters. Will the game be taken away by Lewandowski? or will Messi lead his team to the semi-final again? Do leave your predictions in the comments down below…😉

Realme C12 and Realme C15 will have 6.5-inch Mini-drop Fullscreen display

0

Realme C12 and Realme C15 will launch in India on 18th August under the Rs.10,000 price segment. The company is teasing the launch of both the smartphones both in the official twitter account as well as in Flipkart. This phone will be a Flipkart Unique device.

Previously we have seen Realme C12 will have a huge 6,000mAh battery, 13MP AI triple rear cameras and now the company has revealed that it will come with a Mega 16.5cm (6.5”) Mini-drop Fullscreen display and these are same with the Realme C15 up to now expect the C15 will come with the quad rear camera setup.

Realme C15 has launched a week ago in Indonesia that features a 6.5-inches HD+ LCD with Corning Gorilla Glass protection. It has a Geometric Gradient design at the back and the rear camera setup comprises a 13MP primary shooter, 8MP ultrawide lens, and two 2MP modules – one for depth sensing and another for monochrome shots. The front camera is of 8MP housed in the mini-drop notch.

Realme C15 comes with a MediaTek Helio G35 chipset along with 3GB and 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The phone runs on the latest Realme UI based on Android 10. The phone is powered by a 6,000mAh battery that supports an 18W fast charging.

Realme C12 and C15 launching in India under Rs.10,000 price range

Realme C15 is launched in Indonesia at IDR 1,999,000 ($137) for the 3GB + 64GB variant and with discount the price cuts down to IDR 1,899,000 ($130), while the 4GB + 64GB variant is priced at IDR 2,199,000 ($150).

This pricing is in Indonesia but will have different pricing for India, as Madhav has promised to launch both the smartphones under Rs.10,000 price range in India.

iQOO teasing launch a new device in India

0

iQOO is teasing the launch of a new device from yesterday, and today they made it more clear with their recent tweet today. The company had launched the IQOO 3 last year with some of the industry-leading techs of that time and was very aggressively priced, for a tough competition in the Indian market.

In the meanwhile the company was launching a bunch of smartphones in China but none of them made it through the borders. After a long time the twitter account of iQOO India responded revealing with the launch of a new smartphone and the tagline used in the tweet is #DrivePerformance which clearly indicates iQOO 5 is making its way to India.

The tagline and the image refer to something related to the car and its performance, and if you look closely in the tweet it seems like a BMW car. This makes it more clear that the iQOO 5 which will be official on 17th August in China will also be launched in India soon. The launch date of this device has not been revealed in India.

iQOO 5 is a top of the line smartphone that packs in a 120Hz AMOLED display and is HDR10+ certified. The phone will come with Snapdragon 865 SoC paired with 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 ROM.and will support VC cooling, an ultra game mode, and 4D haptics in the high-performance portion specially designed for high-end performance delivering experience and is even suitable for gaming.

The phone will also have 120db Hi-Fidelity and Hi-Res Audio for a whole new audio experience. The brand also showcased its 120W fast charging tech that seems to be faster than the Oppo 125W fast charging on pen and paper. The 125W fast charger of Oppo takes almost 20 minutes to fully charge a 4,000mAh battery but this one completes in only 15 minutes.

This phone will also have a BMW Edition that will launch alongside on August 17. We are not sure if that version will launch in India or not.
