Robert Lewandowski is one of the best strikers in the world right now. He has won seven Bundesliga titles with Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. With over 200 goals during his time in Bundesliga, he is always a threat in the opponent’s penalty box. He is a perfect No. 9.
Lewandowski has revealed that he came close to signing for Manchester United back in 2012. Imagine if he would have played under Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United! With the form, he is in still now, Lewandowski would have certainly bolstered this current United attack.
The 31-year-old has admitted that it was in 2012 when he came closest to moving to England, with a phone call from Sir Alex Ferguson almost sending him to Old Trafford.
The Poland international told The Guardian: “I was speaking with him after two years at Dortmund and at that time I was really thinking about a move to Manchester United. Because of Ferguson and because of Manchester United.
“Borussia Dortmund said: ‘No, that’s that.’”
“That was the first time I was thinking about the move because if you get a phone call from Sir Alex Ferguson, for a young player it was something amazing. That was a special day for me.”
Manchester United instead signed Robin Van Persie from Arsenal in 2012. He proved valuable to United but Lewandowski would have offered much more. He is still going on with the Bundesliga champions with no signs of stopping. The current United squad would have benefitted hugely if they had a No. 9 with Lewandowski’s caliber.

Manchester City have risen to great heights under Pep Guardiola. They won the Premier League trophy for two successive seasons. The Premier League champions have also won the EFL Cup and Community Shield twice, as well as the FA Cup. They are one of the most successful teams in England in recent years.
But this season Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have outdone Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. It’s just a matter of few matches when City will have to handover the Premier League trophy to Liverpool.
City won their maiden Premier League trophy in dramatic fashion on the final day of 2011-12. After two seasons, Manuel Pellegrini also won the Premier League with City in 2013-14.
Manchester City have 4 Premier League trophies in the last decade but it’s strange that no player from Manchester City has won the PFA Player of the year award.
Only Sterling and Leroy Sane have won the Young Player of the Year prize but that’s not enough for a team that has dominated English football in recent years.
Sterling told AS: “Especially in the last year where we have won the domestic quadruple including the league, to not have a player winning PFA Player of the Year kind of speaks for itself really.”
“The award was given to a Liverpool player [Virgil van Dijk] who had a fantastic season but I look at previous seasons as well when Yaya Toure scored 20 goals from midfield and he didn’t win Player of the Year. Also, Sergio Aguero has been at the club for more than seven years and has scored unbelievable goals during this time, yet none of City’s players have won it.
“It is impossible to win the league four times and none of the players were Player of the Year. So, this year Liverpool win the league and a Liverpool player will win the Player of the Year for sure. We won the league four times and we were not treated with the same respect.
“The first year we won the league [under Guardiola], Kevin De Bruyne was unbelievable and they gave it to another player [N’Golo Kante]. Every year we win a major trophy and it’s given to an opposition player. It’s that sort of thing that doesn’t depend on us, but we keep going.”
Manchester City have also faced a massive blow. They have been banned for two seasons from European competitions. Speaking on the issue, Sterling said: “It’s something we don’t know much about yet because it’s something that has not been confirmed. The club has a long way to go and we just have to wait and see what happens, but I have full confidence in the club.”
Sterling is relishing the challenge of facing the 14-time champions of Europe in the round of 16 of Champions League this season. He does not think there is anything lucky about Zidane having led Real Madrid to three consecutive Champions League triumphs from 2016 to 2018.
The City winger said: “We had a good reaction when we knew that they will be our rival. If you want to do well I think the best thing you have to do is to play against the best teams straight away and there is no better challenge than Real Madrid.”
“It is always going to be a difficult game whether they are in a good or a bad moment, just because of the atmosphere, the historical stadium that we are going to. It’s going to be a difficult game, especially now that they are doing really well, but at the same time I’ve got full confidence in our team and if we get it right on the day, I believe we can win.”
“I think to win the Champions League so many times, especially in a row as well, is very difficult. I don’t think that’s luck; it’s definitely a formula. Some people have that winning mentality and he wins by any means. So I wouldn’t say that it’s luck, I’d say it’s something he has probably developed over his great career as a player and he’s developing his career as a manager, so it continues this winning touch.”

The transfer speculation about Raheem Sterling is going on for the last few seasons now. According to various reports, LaLiga giants Real Madrid are interested in Manchester City winger.
The 25-year-old’s future has been in doubt again as Manchester City face a two-season ban from European competitions. But Sterling insisted that he is happy at City. He has won two Premier League titles, two EFL Cups and the FA Cup since joining from Liverpool in 2015.
The England international told AS: “Right now, I’m at City and I’m really happy. But I say Real Madrid are a fantastic club. When you see the white shirt, you know exactly what the club stands for. It’s massive. But at the same time, I have a contract with City now and I have to respect this. But it’s a fantastic club.”
“No one knows what the future will hold. I am a player and I am always open to challenges but right now my challenge is at Manchester City. In the future, hopefully, who knows…”
City manager Pep Guardiola has also addressed this transfer speculation. He told reporters: “All the clubs have to know that when Real Madrid or Barcelona knock on the door, the other clubs must tremble, they will be a little bit in trouble. Barcelona and Madrid are maybe the strongest and most powerful teams in terms of history and how good they are. That is normal and I understand completely.”
“But on the same point, you just see the commitment from Raheem, every single day when he arrives. He’s never injured. His commitment in every game, offensively and defensively, so he’s one of the best players in the world and it’s normal that big clubs see his desire for the team.”
“I don’t know if Madrid or Barcelona called his agent, [but] I don’t have any doubts about the commitment Raheem and the other ones have had from the first day to the last day.”
If Real Madrid can sign Sterling in the summer window, it will further bolster their attack which already includes the likes of Hazard, Benzema and Bale. Madrid have a great pool of young attacking talents as well – Asensio, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Jovic, Reinier and Brahim.

Your understanding of the exam topics is very critical to your success in Microsoft MS-900. The truth is that there is no way you can choose the right materials if you don’t know what to study. The Microsoft Learning platform has a detailed highlight of the objectives and subtopics that the candidates need to study while preparing for this certification test. Go through the details to understand each of them.
2. Take a Training Course
There is a high chance that you are not familiar with some of the exam topic areas. The best way to get fully immersed in them is to take an official training course. You can take the instructor-led training offered through the Microsoft platform. There are also online courses that you can sign up for. Apart from the official website, there are other sites that offer training courses and other tools to help the students pass their tests. One of the top recommended platforms is Exam-Labs.

In today’s world, hundreds of millions are spent in the transfer market. The weekly wages of the players have gone up significantly. The managers aren’t far behind too.
The managers of the top European clubs earn a handsome amount of money. So much depends on the manager, from tactics to team selection everything. They rightly deserve their paycheques.
So let’s see who are the top 5 highest paid football managers right now:
5. Zinedine Zidane – Real Madrid (€16.8m)
The man who revolutionised Real Madrid in the last five years is bound to be on this list. Zidane has won 3 successive Champions League which is the joint-highest any manager has won in his managerial career. He has also guided Real Madrid to the summit of LaLiga.
Zidane left Real Madrid in May 2018 and has again returned in 2019 to steady the Romaldo less Real Madrid side. He has again done a wonderful job this season. Real Madrid are on course to win both the LaLiga and the Champions League.
Maybe, Zizou deserves to be at the top of this list, considering the fantastic job he has done and is still doing at Real Madrid.
4. Jose Mourinho – Tottenham Hotspur ( €17.52m )
Considering recent form, how is Mourinho receiving a greater paycheque than Zidane is still a mystery. The ‘Special One’ has failed to deliver in his previous managerial stint at Manchester United.
Tottenham board has still found Mourinho worthy of leading the last season’s Champions League finalist. They have won 8 out of 14 league matches under Mourinho. A trophy at the end of the season will only justify his huge salary.
3. Jurgen Klopp – Liverpool (€17.52m)
The manager who has successfully transformed his side into one of Europe’s best. Klopp had done a terrific job with Borussia Dortmund and has again repeated the same feat with Liverpool.
He won Liverpool’s 6th Champions League trophy last season. His side also has a 25 points lead in the Premier League this season. The Premier League trophy is finally coming to Anfield after 30 years.
2. Pep Guardiola – Manchester City (€23.28m)
Pep is one of the most successful managers of this era who has won almost everything in Spain, Germany and now in England. His team plays one of the most exciting footballs in Europe.
Guardiola has won consecutive Premier League titles with Manchester City, a feat unachieved in England for a decade. He has won five major trophies over four seasons in England.
1. Diego Simeone – Atletico Madrid (€43.6m)
It is a bit of a surprise to find that Simeone is at the top of this list. The manager who has not won the Champions League or hasn’t made any significant LaLiga records earns almost double the salary of the one who has created various Premier League records with Manchester City.
The gap between the second and the first is quite a bit. He has done an exceptional job at Atletico Madrid but whether he deserves this large sum of money is still a doubt.
Simeone has won the La Liga, Copa del Rey and two Europa League trophies during his stint. He has also been a two-time Champion League finalist, both times losing to their local rivals Real Madrid.

Lionel Messi has been talking about Neymar and Lautaro Martinez off late to make it pretty clear he would be happy to see both of the forwards playing for Barcelona at the Camp Nou.
Messi has been clinging on Neymar since he left Barca after that record deal and after a desperate attempt to bring the Brazilian back to Camp Nou last summer, and affording the deal is very hard for Barcelona after the record signings of Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele.
Messi still looks forward on playing with him once again and give him the responsibility of the Barcelona attack in the near future.
I say it many times, at the sports level Ney is one of the best in the world and I would love him to return. He is really looking forward to coming back, he always seemed sorry. He did a lot to return and that would be the first step to try to come back.
Another huge prospect for Barcelona is the 22-year-old Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez who Messi loves playing within the Argentina National team.
He is spectacular, he has impressive qualities, he’s showing that he’s a great player. He is very strong, he can score a lot of goals, he endures, he turns. He’s very complete. Lautaro and Suárez share the same qualities. I wish he could come, like Neymar, to fight for all the trophies.
Lionel Messi
Both Messi and the Barcelona board are keen on signing both the players but might end up affording one of them in the summer transfer. If they somehow manage to get rid of Philippe Coutinho and some other players they somehow might make “the dream” come true but a question remains – Does Barcelona need so many forward signings?
Barcelona did face a hard time in defence and keep clean sheets throughout the competition with the ageing Pique and Busquets in the defensive duties. It will interesting to see how Barcelona board acts to fulfil its skipper’s dreams in the coming season.

After getting the green signal from the Spanish federation to sign an emergency signing to bolster their attack, the Blaugranas have not wasted any time by signing the Danish international Martin Braithwaite from Leganes.
The severe injuries of Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele have forced Barcelona to make the emergency signing. Without any negotiation, Barca has paid Braithwaite’s €18 million release clause to bring him as soon as possible.
The club has confirmed that he will be signing a contract with the club that runs until the summer of2024 and will be having an unrealistic buyout clause of €300m.
FC Barcelona have paid the buy out clause of the player Martin Braithwaite and therefore he is no longer contractually tied to Club Deportivo Leganés. The cost of the clause is 18 million euros.
The player will sign a contract with the Club for the rest of the season and four more until 30 June 2024 with the buy out clause set at 300 million euros.
Martin Braithwaite will only be available to play in LaLiga games and this will help the other forwards including Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann and Ansu Fati.
Although he cannot take part in the UEFA Champions League but the inclusion of versatile attacking player can help them to win the league title and give the other strikers some rest for the Champions League knockouts.
Braithwaite has a total of six goals and two assists in LaLiga this season and apart from having pace and strength, the attacker is a good dribbler as well but will be interesting to see how he adapts to Barcelona’s style of play and player under the tactics of Quique Setien.

The 10th Gen Intel Core processors will soon make its way to desktops in the coming weeks or months and we are getting more and more leaks regarding these CPUs. Being scheduled to launch next month, these CPUs are also the refreshed 14nm chips by Intel with some minor tweaks over last gen.
After facing a hard time against its sole competitor AMD, the blue team is also beefing up its core and thread count to compete with AMD. Already we know that Ryzen CPUs are eating away Intel’s CPU market and in this situation, Intel has no other option but to reduce the prices to offer even better performance out of its age-old architecture.
Now we got some benchmarks of this upcoming Core i7-10700F CPU which seems to be an 8-core, 16-thread one with a 2.9 GHz base clock and is on par with leaked specs for the Core i7-10700. The iGPU-less Core i7-10700F scores 4781 on the multi-core test and 492 on the single-core test.
If compared with the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, the new Intel counter-part scores approximately 2 percent higher in the single-threaded score and the multi-threaded score is near very near to each other and is well within the margin of error.
It seems that both the Core i7-10700 and Core i7-10700F CPUs perform almost alike only difference being the iGPU and the i7-10700F might be a cheaper option for people. As this is a Core i7 variant, Intel is cutting down costs and is about to deliver almost i9-9900 performance even though coming at an i7-9700 price.
Now the Core i9-10900 CPU comes with 10 core options and soon in the coming months we expect Intel to launch the 10th Gen Intel Comet Lake processors for desktops.
We’ve been waiting for this for a long time since the actual launch of the Surface Pro 7 back in October, and now it’s finally here in India. Powered by the latest 10th gen Intel Ice Lake CPUs, the new Surface Pro series are both productive and powerful.
Even though priced at $749 which coverts around Rs. 53,600 but actually after taxes and all it will start in India at a hefty price of Rs. 70,990 with two colour options – Platinum and Matte Black.
Specifications and Features:
12.3-inch PixelSense Touch Display (2736 x 1824 pixels)
Up to Quad-core 10th Gen Intel Core i7-1065G7 Processor
Intel UHD Graphics on the Core i3 model / Intel Iris Plus Graphics on Core i5 and Core i7 models
Up to 16GB LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB SSD
8MP rear camera with support for 1080p FULL HD video recording
5MP front camera with support for 1080p FULL HD video recording
1.6W stereo speakers with Dolby Audio Premium; Dual far-field Studio Mics
Connectivity: Wi-Fi 6 a/b/g/n/ac/ax, Bluetooth 5.0 LE

The Microsoft Surface Pro 7 is the latest in its flagship line of laptop/tablet hybrids, also this time it brings the most-asked feature – the USB Type-C port. It packs a stunning 12.3-inch PixelSense display with 2,736 x 1,824 resolution. The screen has 267PPI along with a 3:2 ratio, much like its predecessor Surface Pro 6.
This 2-in-1 laptop/ tablet hybrid is much more powerful than ever featuring Intel’s latest 10nm 10th Gen Core i3, i5 and i7 chips. These latest Intel offerings are both efficient and powerful on CPU horsepower as well as GPU performance with its integrated gen 11 Intel Iris Plus graphics.
This is the only Microsoft product to have what can be called a full-sized Surface Pen. Not only is it capable of in-line editing in Word, like striking through a line in a document to make it disappear, but also features Ink Editing in MS Excel. This is a new feature helps to fill cells with handwriting, which can then be converted to text.
The OS has been optimized this time especially for this hybrid product by Microsoft. It is capable of pulling various pieces of information on a subject “together” in a concise, cohesive yet straightforward manner.
The Surface Pro 7 is compatible with its corresponding Surface Type Keyboard accessory and this attachment has key travel of 1.3 mm this time. This 2-in-1 or hybrid tablet has studio-grade mics for clear crisp audio and to enhance the application of earphones.
Out of all the variants, buying the Core i5 + 128GB makes sense for most of the users and those who need a powerful one can go for the i7 variant as well. Also, there are many Microsoft Surface accessories including the Surface Pen, Keyboard, Mouse and others that are available and you can find from the Surface Pro 7 product page itself.
The severe outbreak of coronavirus has totally changed the scenario of 2020 and as one of the world’s largest economy has fallen down, the total world is facing economic tensions. The tech industry has been well affected because China is the heart of all kinds of tech manufacturing and supply as well.
Thousands are infected and thousands have died as well, and in such situation, China is completely shut down and no work is being held currently to fight against this deadly outbreak. It is said that with time, the infection rate is decreasing but the death rate is increasing daily.
In such a bitter situation, the MWC 2020 has already been called off as the top brands have already stood for the people rather than being keen on selling their products. Chinese smartphone giants like Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo, Vivo and Realme all have been affected and the Cupertino giant has been affected as well.
Apple not only has one of the biggest iPhone markets in China but also makes their iPhone in the country as well. So the supply chain restrictions and falling demand in China have led Apple to drop revenue estimates in Q1 2020.
In a post on its newsroom website, Apple has stated that “Apple will not be able to meet the revenue guidance [it] provided for the March quarter due to two main factors.” :
The first reason is that the iPhone’s supply chain has been temporarily constrained due to the closure of factories and production facilities in China.
As fewer iPhones are being produced and supplied, prices have gone high as well, decreasing the sales ultimately.
The coronavirus outbreak is not the sole reason for this decline in revenue in the country, the US-China trade war and the tensions speculated to Huawei and other Chinese smartphone brands in the country have also resulted in the decline in iPhone sales in China.
China is facing one of its worst epidemic outbreaks ever and it is natural for Apple to see a huge loss in the coming months, and not expect to meet its revenue predictions, Apple’s stock (AAPL) fell roughly by 3% when trading opened on Tuesday morning.
The increasing cause of the virus has halted the global economy not only for Apple but for every tech giant out there. No interaction or business is conducted by any country to China which is affecting every industry, but we hope soon China recovers through these hard situations in the coming months.
