Willy Sagnol didn’t speak with Zidane for two years after his headbutt in the World Cup final loss

Zidane is remembered as a cool-headed guy with the brain in his feet and astonishing ball control. But one incident will remain forever in the mind of his fans. The infamous headbutt in the 2006 World Cup final.

France took on Italy in the World Cup final. Everyone was expecting Zizou to guide France to another World Cup glory. But Italy defender Marco Materazzi told him something and Zidane headbutted him and moments later he was laying in the ground. The referee gave Zidane a straight red card and France lost the World Cup on penalties.

Zidane’s France teammate Willy Sagnol was so angry with him that he refused to talk to him after the match in the dressing room and hold the grudge till 2008.

Sagnol told Radio Montecarlo: “After the game, in the dressing room, Zidane apologised. But I didn’t accept his apology, I didn’t want to talk to him, it wasn’t the time, there was too much disappointment. I went to the bathroom and smoked 250 cigarettes in 10 minutes. We didn’t talk for two years after that.”

“In 2008, however, I got married and my wife told me to invite him. I called him and we had a little snack together in the morning: we had a good conversation.”

That infamous headbutt would always haunt Zidane as he could have easily won his second World Cup trophy for France.

AMD Ryzen 7 4800U & Ryzen 5 4600U APUs flourish on Lenovo laptops

We know that AMD Ryzen 4000 mobile APUs are great for laptops and with increasing laptops featuring these APUs we are getting a look of the power of these processors. The next OEM will be Lenovo, who is bragging about the capabilities of its Ryzen 4000U-series processors.

The company did already announce the fact that they will be upgrading a lot of ThinkPad laptops with the new Ryzen 4000 series APUs. Now the company has offered an insight into how the Ryzen 7 4800U and Ryzen 5 4600U APUs perform on their system.

Lenovo has claimed that the Ryzen 5 4600U can average around 1,300 points in Cinebench R15 Multi which is pretty good for a 6 core and 12 threaded APU on a laptop, powerful than any other mid-range Intel CPU.

  • AMD Ryzen 7 4800U & Ryzen 5 4600U APUs flourish on Lenovo laptops

On the other hand, Lenovo has claimed that the 8 core Ryzen 7 4800U can score over 1,550 points in the same benchmark which directly competes against the Intel Core i9-9980H. The company also plans to use the Ryzen 4000H gaming APUs on their upcoming Legion gaming laptops as well.

Lenovo stresses the fact that these scores are for reference only, not only these scores were achieved on engineering samples, but possibly also on performance modes. Even though we can assume to be getting a 20% performance decrease in general conditions, still, these 6- and 8-core Ryzen 4000-U series APUs perform great in the new laptops.

The laptop manufacturer seems has made an interesting marketing poster, depicting a dragon representing an eight threaded processor submitting to a sixteen threaded one.

Lenovo has achieved these scores on a Xiaoxin Pro 13, a laptop series that the company does not sell in most of the markets. However, the scores on the Pro 13 looks impressive and can be equivalent to the ThinkBook and IdeaPad series. So, we can expect to see the Ryzen 4000-U series processors on other Lenovo laptops anytime soon.

Kylian Mbappe joining Real Madrid is ‘just a question of time’

Kylian Mbappe joining Real Madrid is ‘just a question of time’

Real Madrid has been interested in Kylian Mbappe for a long time now. They haven’t hid their admiration for the World Cup winner. Club president Florentino Perez has been wanting to sign him since he was a teenager playing for Monaco.

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is a World Cup winner for France himself. Zidane and Mbappe hail from the same country so Perez is hoping that Zidane can influence Mbappe’s move to the Bernabeu.

PSG value their forward very highly and are unwilling to part their ways with the Frenchman. Although Mbappe hasn’t renewed his contract with PSG which ends in 2022 and he has given a few hints about joining Real Madrid someday.

Former PSG midfielder Jerome Rothen said Mbappe had almost signed for Real Madrid before the Coronavirus pandemic halted the 2019-20 season.

Rothen told Radio Montecarlo: “I know from club sources that a deal to take Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid was almost done. But with what has been happening, I’m sure that Mbappe’s arrival at Real Madrid will be postponed.”

“There is no way that Mbappe will extend his contract with PSG. They will have an agreement between them in place because PSG agreed to let him go this summer. In my opinion, it’s just a question of time.”

It seems that Perez’s wish is finally going to come true. He has started building another team of Galacticos at Real Madrid. Hazard joining Madrid this season was the beginning of that phase. If Mbappe follows him to the Bernabeu next season it would be a huge boost for the 13 times Champions League winner.

UEFA Champions League to be decided by single matches behind closed doors in neutral venues

Every football fan might be worrying about the Champions League to resume sometime soon when this pandemic situation lightens.

But recently the reports say that the UEFA Champions League knockout stages will be decided by a single match, under closed doors in neutral places. That goes the same with the UEFA Europa League as well.

Even though the league games are on halt until further notice, it seems UEFA wants to finish their league so that domestic leagues can start up as soon as possible. This will help to reduce the economic crisis that the football clubs are facing currently.

UEFA Champions League & Europa League matches postponed due to Coronavirus

There are rumors that the Bundesliga could resume as soon as May, while the other leagues will follow in June or July to restart. The Continental trophies would then be decided in August.

There still remains four ties in the Champions League remain unresolved from their first leg results: Real Madrid-Manchester City, Chelsea-Bayern Munich, Lyon-Juventus, and Napoli-Barcelona. Those teams have to find time to finish out the matches remaining.

After that we might see one match at a time being held in some neutral places, without any audience so that both the Champions League and Europa League can find an ending this season. While the next season is scheduled to start in September.

De Ligt felt like ‘a child in a candy shop’ after joining Juventus

The Ajax team was the standout team in the whole of Europe last season. They won the Eredivisie and made a dream run to the Champions League semi-final. De Ligt led the young Ajax team to the famous Champions League victories against Real Madrid and Juventus.

All the top European clubs of Europe had their eyes on the young talents. Barcelona signed Frenkie De Jong while Matthijs De Ligt joined Juventus. Chelsea has recently signed Hakim Ziyech and Real Madrid are still interested in Donny Van de Beek.

de ligt de jong

De Ligt joined Juventus for a reported €75million at the beginning of this season. When he first met his teammates at Juventus, he was starstruck by seeing Buffon and Ronaldo and felt like ‘a child in a candy shop’.

De Ligt told Foot Truck in an interview: “Juventus told me also like, ‘All right, you’re young, but also the reason we want to buy you is because you are already really mature, you know how to handle pressure’ and stuff like that. They also said to me it’s difficult for a 19-year-old to go to another country and of course it’s going to be difficult for you but we have confidence in you that you will find your place soon.”

“Obviously when I came into the dressing room the first time I was a little bit like a child in a candy shop, like, ‘There’s Buffon, there’s Ronaldo’. In the beginning, you’re just a little bit looking like who’s that, who’s that and stuff like how is he? After really two months I felt really like I could be more myself.”

He further added: “In the beginning, there was already a lot of eyes on me in the games. In the second game I played I made an own goal and then you know there’s even more pressure.”

“I knew in the training I was training good, I felt good, but in the games, it was still a little bit of adaptation to a new style of play. In the beginning, it was difficult but I think step by step I improved in that case.”

De Ligt initially struggled in Turin but has now almost settled in the Juventus team. He had made 27 appearances in all competitions before the 2019-20 season was suspended due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai donates ₹5 Crore to Give India

The world is facing the worst economic crisis in years due to the Coronavirus pandemic. India is also facing an economic crisis and has opened a lot of donation campaigns to help the poor in this lockdown period.

Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai has donated Rs 5 crore to non-profit organization Give India, thus he has matched Googles earlier donation of Rs 5 crore to the online donation platform.

This non-profit organization has raised over Rs 12 crore to support vulnerable families across the country.

This is an increase from our initial $25 million announced last month. In addition, we’re providing $20 million in ad grants to community financial institutions and NGOs specifically to run public service announcements on relief funds and other resources for SMBs

Sundar pichai

Pichai has announced last month that Google will provide over $800 million to support small and medium businesses (SMBs), health organisations, governments and health workers who are working on the frontline of global COVID-19 pandemic.

This includes $250 million in ad grants to help the World Health Organisation (WHO) also, funding more than 100 government agencies globally to provide critical information on how to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other critical measures.

Motorola Edge+ with Waterfall Display will be unveiled on April 22, Officially reported

Motorola is holding an “E-vent” on April 22, which is an online event, where it is going to launch the flagship series – Motorola Edge series. The series is said to have two smartphones – Motorola Edge and Edge+. The Edge+ will come with an eye-soothing Waterfall Display, flagship chipset of Qualcomm Snapdragon, an extraordinary camera, etc.

The official tweet shared by Motorola doesn’t indicate much about the device except the waterfall display.

The Moto Edge+ will come with a 6.67′ FHD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate. the processor chipset will be Snapdragon 865. There will be a 108MP primary sensor among triple(108MP +16MP +8MP)-rear camera sensors. The 8MP sensor can be a telephoto camera module. Most interestingly the smartphone doesn’t come with a quad-camera setup and we are not sure about the megapixel of the front camera and the battery capacity. The smartphone will support 5G. This will be the first smartphone from Motorola with both 90Hz display and 5G connectivity unless we count in the 5G MotoMod of the Moto Z3.

The vanilla Moto Edge may also launch in the same event and will come with a smaller display. It is still not clear if the smartphone will feature a waterfall display. This version will come with a 64MP primary sensor unlike the 108MP sensor in the Edge+, other sensors will be the same as the later. The Moto Edge will come with Snapdragon 756G which will also support 5G.
