The moment you think 2020 has shown you enough to not be surprised by anything anymore, it one-ups itself. The latest in the list of shockers that 2020 has produced has to do with the club that has not left the spotlight for a minute in a very long time.
Chelsea FC have included technical director Petr Cech as a fourth goalkeeper alongside Kepa Arrizabalaga, Edouard Mendy and Willy Caballero in their 25-man squad for the 20/21 Premier League season.
This sees one of the Blues’ best-ever goalkeepers make a comeback from retirement to help out his club. Petr Cech retired from professional football after the end of the 2018-19 season which saw Chelsea win the Europa League against Cech’s Arsenal. The keeper then moved back to Stamford Bridge and has taken up his role as a technical director at the club.
As of recently, the 38-year-old has been working with the keepers at the club, as shown in Chelsea’s training videos. The fact that he has been included in the squad itself now suggests an unbelievable foreshadowing of the Blues’ decision.
While it is unlikely that Cech will play a minute of Premier League football this season, his inclusion was explained by manager Frank Lampard as follows;
“Pete has been training with the goalkeepers for a few weeks now, he is passing on quality.
“We had a space in the squad and with this year and Covid it is nice to know that he is there if we need him.
“He is fit. He is still relatively young when he took on his role. Whether we see him much I don’t know, we will see about isolation and Covid.
“It’s not done for the romance of what he has done before. It’s not something I would expect to happen, but if we are in crisis then there are few people better to have around than Cech.”
While it is hard to argue with the logic that the coronavirus pandemic could impact the squad in any way, the inclusion of the Champions League winning keeper is sure to turn some heads for fans of the Blues.
Despite being fierce rivals on the football pitch, Liverpool and Manchester United are constructively working together behind the scenes. They are the frontrunners in the proposal for a European Premier League which will feature the best teams from the top 5 leagues in the continent.
The latest developments suggest that the tournament has been backed by FIFA. In addition, JP Morgan is willing to assemble a $6 billion package to fund the super-league.
The Big Six of the Premier League, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are involved in talks regarding the construction of the tournament.
There have been reports that the tournament could become a reality as soon as 2022.
Consequences of the European Premier League
The first question that most fans would have is what happens to the Champions League. To put it simply, the Champions League would be replaced by the league-cum-knockout competition.
European competitions would be held in mid-week while domestic matches could take place over the weekend. While UEFA are strongly opposed to the introduction of a tournament of such fashion, their stance makes sense when you consider the following things.
1. The Top Four Would Be Irrelevant
While winning the domestic league is a priority for a lot of clubs, finishing in the top four is the next best thing. The reason being guaranteed Champions League football in the following season.
A league type tournament biased towards the founding members could strip away the importance of finishing in the top four in the domestic leagues.
2. The Landscape of Football Would Completely Change
Right now, despite the coronavirus pandemic impacting schedules, the fixtures are being managed pretty well. However, if you include a European Premier League without scrapping the Champions League, a club with both commitments would have a tough time keeping up.
On the other hand, the proposed system of relegation and promotion could make things very unstable for a lot of clubs that could join later.
3. The Financial Aspect
With rumors that hundreds of millions will be earned by the participating clubs in matchday revenue, the gap between the European Premier League teams and the less powerful teams would increase.

This could lead to a destruction of the spirit of the beautiful game, as money governs a lot of aspects of the modern game.
All in all, though the idea sounds great on paper, it would be a massacre in practice. With the complex machinery of modern football already set in stone for close to three decades, a change of such magnitude could destroy the very foundations that make football the most beloved game on the planet.
Although nothing truly compares to watching class acts like Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar on the pitch, anticipating the potential of exciting young players is probably the next best thing.
Now that the Champions League season is officially underway, we look at 5 of the most talented youngsters that have enough to make a name for themselves in Europe.
5. Giovanni Reyna
The American midfielder has been one of the latest to add himself to the long list of Dortmund starlets. Although he was a part of the squad last season, the start of the 20/21 season has seen the 17-year-old put on some great performances in his 4 appearances for Dortmund.
With a goal and four assists to his name, Giovanni Reyna is one to watch this season in the Champions League, and he isn’t the only one from Signal Iduna Park.
4. Jude Bellingham
Bellingham is the highest ever sale of Birmingham City, and the young English wonderkid has chosen to follow in the footsteps of fellow countryman and starlet Jadon Sancho.
Despite making the transition from Championship football to the Champions League, the teenager looks comfortable operating in the heart of the park.
3. Mason Greenwood
The 18-year-old enjoyed his breakout season with the Red Devils in the back-half of 19/20. Having an unbelievable amount of talent at his disposal, the youngster is one of Manchester United’s brightest prospects ever and could definitely leave a long-lasting mark in European competition this season.
2. Eduardo Camavinga
With reports that Real Madrid are prioritising the signing of the French wonderkid, his days at Rennes are looking numbered. However, the 17-year-old has a lot to prove to the rest of the teams in the continent. And what better way to go about it than perform well in the Champions League?
Although Rennes aren’t the most exciting team in the competition, their first time in the top tier of European football is sure to give the youngster a wealth of valuable experience.
1. Ansu Fati
Fati has been heavily praised by the Barcelona faithful, as well as the Spanish media. So much so that he is now being heralded as the heir apparent to Leo Messi. However, at only 17, the Spaniard still has a long way to go to truly reach that level. But the signs are all there for the teenager to shake things up in Europe when he’s not shining in Spain.
Manchester United stunned Paris Saint-Germain in their own ground again. After the historic comeback in UEFA Champions League, two years ago, Manchester United made a new history in Parc Des France again.
Manchester United has won 10 consecutive away games across all competition for the first time in their history. They beat Paris Saint Germain by 2-1.
Manchester United came to Paris without their captain and main defender Harry Maguire. Eric Baily, Edinson Cavani, Mason Greenwood were also out of this fixture yesterday.
Bruno Fernandes led the team in the absence of Maguire. He scored from the spot to give the lead to the Red Devils in the first half. PSG came back in the game in the second half after an own goal of Anthony Martial from a corner. But again, the late winner from Rashford sealed the victory for the English side.
Depending on the recent form it was quite obvious that Paris Saint Germain were the favourites to win the tie. United lost a game against Tottenham by 6-1 recently and the absence of Maguire made everyone that it will be a comfortable win for PSG with Neymar, Mbappe, and Di Maria.
But the excellent performance of Manchester United’s young squad with Axel Tuanzebe, Aaron Wan Bissaka, Scott Mctominay stop the front trio to PSG to score against them. United goalkeeper David De Gea made some excellent saves to seal the victory. He also became the Man of the Match as well.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was so happy with his team’s performance. He was delighted to see the commitments from his players. United players have given their everything on the pitch yesterday. Scott McTominay even played with just ‘one eye’ in the first half. He said, “McTominay played the first-half with ‘one eye’ as he lost one of his contact lenses.”
United will play against Chelsea in Premier League on the weekend before their Champions League clash against RB Leipzig. United will surely try to continue their form.
Chinese mobile and electronics maker Vivo has signed off on a 4-year deal to sponsor the UEFA European Championship, according to latest media reports. This news comes to us months after BCCI and Vivo decided to suspend the IPL sponsorship for this season of the mega T20 cricketing league.
Although the financial component of the brokered deal remains unknown for the moment, VIVO will now be officially associated with another grand spectacle with UEFA Euro which is now going to be held in 2021, because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The marketing director of UEFA Guy-Laurent Epstein is quoted as saying, “Vivo is a recent and modern smartphone brand and we sincerely value their commitment to excellence and dedication to giving their customers the best possible experience. With Vivo’s help, we are looking forward to connecting football fans globally over the next four years and beyond.”
From VIVO’s perspective, it looks like they want to further establish their brand presence through key areas in Europe. And what better to market and promote their products and services than through the medium of international football?
VIVO has been an active brand entity as far as sports are concerned, and have been deeply engrossed in marketing plans to make their presence felt. It is possibly why they do hold a decent amount of market share in the Asian smartphones market.
Their campaign planning has successfully worked with cricket and IPL in the past, and so have decided to delve into other sports and get a similar return on investment. They had earlier inked a deal with the BCCI for IPL main sponsorship rights which was worth Rs 2200 crores over a period of 5 years, between 2018-2022.
However now, one closed door opens another elsewhere. And that is exactly with the case with VIVO and UEFA Euro tournament, which could be a beneficial deal for both parties.
Around a week ago, Delhi Capitals’ Shikhar Dhawan had a record with which he wouldn’t have liked to be associated with. He was the player which the highest number of matches without (167) scoring an IPL century.
However, in just a week, not only did he ended this stint, he landed on the opposite spectrum as he became the first batsman to score consecutive centuries in the history of the IPL.
Dhawan scored a match-winning knock off 101 not out in just 58 balls against the mighty CSK bowling attack to take his through. He then scored a phenomenal 106 not out in just 61 balls against the Kings XI Punjab. He has scored 50+ runs in his last 4 innings.
Dhawan’s form would be a sigh of relief for the Delhi Capitals’ fans as opener Prithvi Shaw and skipper Shreyas Iyer are suffering from some poor form after starting the tournament strongly.
Those two tons skyrocketed Dhawan at the second place in the list of highest run-scorers of the season. He has scored 465 runs in 10 matches at an average of 66.42 with a phenomenal strike rate of 149. He carried the Capitals’ batting inning till the end along with the and stayed not out, which makes it even more impressive.
Top 5 run-scorers of IPL 2020
KL Rahul – 540 runs
Shikhar Dhawan – 465 runs
Mayank Agarwal – 398 runs
Faf Du Plessis – 375 runs
Virat Kohli – 347 runs
Dhawan did not have the reputation as that of a T20 batsman which had him getting dropped from the Indian T20 side. However, this proves that he’s a serious contender for the opening slot along with KL Rahul.
The interesting observation is that all batsmen play traditional cricketing shots and their extensions. This season, therefore, proves that you don’t necessarily have to be a slogger. You can manipulate the field, rotate the strike, target specific bowlers, play according to the pitch and situation, and still score runs at a healthy strike rate.
