David Silva has confirmed that the next season will be his final season after a hugely successful 10-year career at Manchester City.
David Silva joined Manchester City from Valencia in 2010 for £25million and went on to establish himself as one of the best midfielders of the game. The 33-year old is considered to be one of the greatest players in Manchester City’s history. He has helped them to win four Premier League titles as well as a brace of FA Cups and four EFL Cups.
Silva has confirmed that the 2019-20 season will be his last at Manchester City and he will not sign for another Premier League club once his City contract expires.
David Silva told reporters: “This is the last one. Ten years for me is enough. It’s the perfect time. Initially the club were talking about two years [contract] but I decided to sign another one so I finished at 10 years. It completes the cycle. It’s a nice round figure. I can never see myself playing against City for another team. So 10 years – that’s it!”
Manchester City completed a domestic clean sweep last season. They have successfully defended their Premier League title. But the Champions League title still eludes them. But Silva is not disappointed to have missed out on the Champions League. He said: “We haven’t been able to achieve that goal yet of winning the Champions League but if every year is like last season I would sign for it right now.”
Silva further added: “When I was a kid, I never thought I would achieve everything I have done, so I’m more than happy with what I have achieved in my 10 years at City. The respect people have shown me and the way people in Manchester have treated me has been unbelievable. That’s what I really like, the recognition they have given me. I’ve got a family now and it’s about priorities. I want to spend more time with the family. I’ve got another year at Manchester City so we will see what happens after that.”
David Silva has backed his teammate Phil Foden to replace him when he leaves Manchester City at the end of next season. He said about Foden: “He reminds me of myself when I was young.” Foden has made 38 appearances for City in the last two seasons and his performances have seen him earmarked as a star of the future.
Silva praised youngster Foden: “I’m sure he’s going to be a fantastic player. He’s a very nice man and he will be a good replacement for me. Apart from his natural skills, he’s a very competitive person. He always wants to win and that makes a very good footballer. When you’re young, you always ask people with experience. I’ve given him lots of advice, like how to move on the pitch. He’s taken the information in and he’s getting better day by day. He reminds me of myself when I was young — especially how he is as a person. He’s very quiet but always there, competing. He hates losing. The best advice I can give him is always stay calm. Whatever happens in football, the highs and lows, always keep calm.”
Silva also revealed his plan of ending his career at his hometown club Las Palmas but for that move to happen, they will have to seal promotion to LaLiga. He said: “I would love to finish my career in Las Palmas but football changes. Who knows? It depends on the team and the players. I cannot come here [to Las Palmas] to play in the second division with this team. But sometimes you need to give something, so I don’t know. I can never see myself playing against City for another team. Not China. I don’t know. My girlfriend decides for me!”

The game has been adapted from the 1988 tabletop game Cyberpunk 2020, it is set fifty-seven years later in dystopian Night City, California, an open world with six distinct regions.
Cyberpunk 2077 is a role-playing video game which is played in the first-person perspective as V, a mercenary whose sex, hairstyles, face, body type, body modifications, background (nomad, street kid, or corporate) are customisable.
V’s clothing alters how interactions fare with non-player characters (NPCs), with whom they have the potential to form romantic and sexual relationships.
Stat categories include – Strength, Constitution, Intelligence, Reflex, Tech, and Cool — are malleable to the character classes that players assume, which are NetRunner (hacking), Techie (machinery), and Solo (combat).
The inclusion of the character Johnny Silverhand played by the famous actor Keanu Reeves has added a new spark to the game. This game has a lot of customizations and features that require a single article which we will surely make for you.
Control
The makers of Max Payne series have come up with a unique game named Control. The game has been developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by 505 Games. Control is set to release on 27th August 2019 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
In the game, players fight against enemies using The Director’s Pistol, which is a firearm which can be transformed into different shapes. The pistol can also be upgraded to enhance its combat efficiency.
Control is the next game from Remedy, releasing August 27 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
In addition to that players will have access to various supernatural and telekinetic abilities. For instance, she can use debris to form a defensive shield and hurl objects towards enemies, using them as weapons.
Players can acquire Objects of Power by completing side quests or exploring the game’s world. They are items which can be used to unlock new skills, such as the ability for Jesse to levitate in the air.
Remedy added that the game is less linear than its previous games and that players would have plenty of opportunities to explore.
Watch Dogs: Legion
This is an upcoming Ubisoft title, a successor to the popular Watch Dog series. It is set to be released on March 6, 2020, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms.
Watch Dogs: Legion is an open world game and is playable from a third-person perspective. The game’s setting takes place within a London that has become a surveillance state and citizens are constantly monitored in their activities by Albion, a private security company that acts as the city’s law enforcement.
Watch the world premiere trailer of Watch Dogs: Legion. In the near future, London is facing its downfall: the people are being oppressed by an all-seeing surveillance state, private militaries control the streets, and a powerful crime syndicate is preying on the vulnerable.
Unlike the previous versions, Legion features the ability to control multiple characters within the game’s setting. Like GTA V you have to play various missions to recruit those characters.
Once a character is recruited into the player’s roster, they are assigned to one of three classes: combat, stealth or hacking.
Each of these class features its own set of tools and the ability to upgrade when a character levels up by completing missions and activities.
Players can even join a team of up to four players in cooperative gameplay, sharing progression between single-player and multiplayer modes. Interesting isn’t it?
Wolfenstein: Youngblood
A successor to the Wolfenstein game series – the Wolfenstein: Youngblood is all set to release on July 26, 2019. It will be made available to gamers for a wide range of platforms including Google Stadia, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
It is a first-person shooter game developed by MachineGames and Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks.
The next chapter in the Wolfenstein series will give you more nazi-killing goodness with a friend.
As the title suggests this game is to be played with 2 young ladies named Jess and Soph Blazkowicz, and you can play through any one of them.
An optional cooperative multiplayer mode has also been included in the game. The game is set in 1980, two decades after the events of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.
In this alternate history, Nazi Germany won World War 2, Jessica and Sophia Blazkowicz, the twin daughters of B.J. Blazkowicz. They travel to Paris to look for their missing father and help the French Resistance liberate the country from Nazi.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
Infinity Ward and Activision revealed a new reformed version Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the instalment of this popular gaming series is coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 25.
This is a reboot of 2007’s Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and it is likely to have 3 modes – the regular Campaign mode, new Multiplayer mode and a new co-op mode, which is bringing back Spec-ops.
Prepare to go dark, Modern Warfare® is back! The stakes have never been higher as players take on the role of lethal Tier One operators in a heart-racing saga that will affect the global balance of power.
The game will feature the return of Captain Price (portrayed by Barry Sloane rather than Billy Murray, who previously voiced him) from the previous Modern Warfare games; however, the character has been rebooted. One of the villains is a rogue Russian general inspired by Apocalypse Now‘s Colonel Kurtz.
The player controls Kyle Garrick, a former British Army officer, for the first half of the campaign and then shifts to Alex, a CIA agent, in the second half of the campaign.
The game has been polished and enhanced with Ray tracing and it looks stunning.
Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is an upcoming game developed by Hardsuit Labs and Studio Paradox Interactive. It is set to release in early 2020 for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is the first choice-driven RPG game in the series all about vampires and vampire politics. The game is set in Seattle: from the dark alleys and buildings to the bright lights of the Pioneer Square, conveying a World of Darkness.
We saw an early look of Bloodlines 2 and learned from the developers why they brought the series back.
The main character here will be unwillingly turned into a vampire, and then gets involved in a war between the vampire clans. The key concept here is the Masquerade, which is a set of rules that allow vampires to survive among humans.
The game will start with a mass embrace that has many vampires being created all at once. The protagonist here will take on the role of one of these vampires, and will be welcomed into the world of the Masquerade by a fellow vampire.
The depth of the characters is immense in the game and a wrong decision in the game can affect you long hours.
Sources: Wikipedia and official game sites.
All these games will be enhanced using Ray tracing and this will ensure gamers to go for an RTX GPU. Gamers can enjoy intense graphics on these games and high levels of details that Ray tracing will give you.

Bangladesh beat Afghanistan by 62 runs in Southampton on Monday to move into fifth place in the 10-team group stage.
They sit one point behind fourth-placed England, who face Australia today, in the race to seal a semi-final berth via a top-four finish.
Shakib’s 51 laid the foundations for Bangladesh to score 262-7.
Shakib’s 51 made him the leading scorer in this year’s World Cup on 476 runs.
Mushfiqur Rahum scored
The 32-year-old then ripped through the Afghan batting line-up with his career-best ODI figures of 5-29 from 10 overs — the best spell in this World Cup.
Shakib Al Hasan has set his sights on upsetting India.
Shakib Al Hasan knows India will be a tough side to beat but thinks his side has got the fire-power to do so.
“They (India) are the top side. They are someone who is looking at the title. So it’s not going to be easy, but having said that, we’ll give our best shot,” he told reporters.
“Experience will help, but experience is not the end of the world. We have to play our best cricket in order to be able to beat India.
Shakib is only the second player in World Cup history to take five wickets and hit a 50 in the same match after India’s Yuvraj Singh against Ireland in 2011.
It was another demonstration of the qualities that make him one of the world’s best all-rounders.
“Still two more important matches left, and hopefully more after that. First things first, we have a very important game coming up against India.”
Shakib benefited from coming into the World Cup fresh after his Indian Premier League side Sunrisers Hyderabad hardly used him in this year’s competition.
“I did prepare well, but I never felt that I had a point to prove,” Shakib said.“I did everything I could do before the World Cup started for my preparation, and luckily it’s been helping me a lot.”
Shakib is the fastest to player to reach 6,000 runs and 200 wickets in ODIs, but helping Bangladesh into the semi-finals against the odds would eclipse even those impressive landmarks.

New AMD EPYC CPUs to feature 8 cores to 64 cores, the best model to cost $8K, while 56 Core Intel Xeon costs $25K-50K
Finally after a year of wait, AMD EPYC CPUs are going to be launched in the next quarter and we have got potential leaks regarding the upcoming server and data-centric based CPUs.
AMD at the Computex 2019 mentioned their 64-core EPYC CPUs to the press and showed how these CPUs ripped off Intel at incredibly lower prices. But the Red team never stated their lower core – even the 8 core EPYC Rome CPU.
Yes, an 8 core EPYC 7nm CPU exists and you get a lot of choice regarding core count: 8 core, 12 core, 16 core, 24 core, 32 core, 48 core and obviously the monstrous 64 core version.
The pricing of all these CPUs have been surfaced online and it seems these modern CPUs will be a lot cheaper than Intel’s counterparts. Also, there’s are many single socket version of these new CPUs abbreviated with a ‘P’ in the model name.
The top of the line EPYC 7742 has a TDP of 225W (64 cores/128 threads with a max clock speed of 3.4GHz) is likely to cost slightly under $8K.
On the other hand, the 7702P and 7702 EPYC 64-core CPUs have a lower 200W TDP and has been priced just at $7,215 and $4,955 respectively.
Credits: AnandTech
The power draw decreases with the number of cores and the max clock speeds ranges from 3.2 to 3.4 GHz. Also, each of these new EPYC Zen 2 CPUs is accompanied by a huge amount of cache memory.
This is amazing, especially when you get 64 Zen 2 cores for just $5,000! The competitor Intel’s 28-core Xeon Platinum 8280 costs a whopping $18K even though being half as powerful.
Credits: AnandTech
The recently announced Intel’s Xeon 9200 lineup with up to 56 cores is expected to cost you around $25K to $50K. The highest variant of the lineup – 14nm based 56-core Xeon Platinum 9282 has a pretty impressive boost clock of 3.8GHz but at the cost of 400W TDP which is almost double to that of AMD’s 64-core monster.
Another advantage that AMD’s Zen 2 architecture enjoys is the PCIe Gen 4.0 support that means these CPUs an enjoy higher bandwidth and increased transfer speeds and faster memory support.
The Xeon 9200 family comes with L3 cache of just 70-80 MB while the EPYC CPUs comes paired with up to 256 MB of huge cache memory.
Even the 32-core and 48-core EPYC Zen 2 variants will cost just $2.5K to $5K while Intel’s nearest competitor Intel Xeon Platinum 9221 with higher TDP of 250W will cost around $20K. Though the Intel one might just be a faster one at almost four times or eight times the price of AMD.
The lower end variants of 8/16/24 core EPYC Zen 2 CPUs start with price tag of just $650 and the 24-core 7402P costs just $1400. The older Xeon Platinum 8200 series with lower clock speeds and cache memory on the other hand starts with a hefty price tag of $3K.
So, if everything goes accordingly then the upcoming EPYC Zen 2 CPUs will destroy the server-end CPU market with its disruptive pricing and with its latest power efficient micro-architecture.
Companies and OEMs like Amazon, Microsoft, Dell, Lenovo, ASUS, Cisco and others are tying their hands with AMD to reform their servers with modern EPYC CPUs.
This is will be a great opportunity for AMD to snatch the Intel-dominated data-centric market by a good percentage to soar its already increasing stock.
Spanish World Cup-winning striker Fernando Torres has announced his retirement from football after an illustrious 18-year career.
The 35-year-old is now playing in Japan’s J.League with Sagan Tosu but he will be mostly remembered for his spells with Atletico Madrid, Liverpool and Chelsea. And along with that it for a hugely successful international career with Spain.
Torres helped Spain clinch their first ever World Cup title in 2010 between back-to-back European Championship wins in a period of footballing dominance for the La Rojas. He scored the winner in Euro 2008 and was on target in their Euro 2012 final win. He played 110 games for Spain and is Spain’s third highest goalscorer with 38 goals. He played in six major tournaments for Spain.
Torres wrote on his official Twitter account on Friday: “I have something very important to announce. After 18 exciting years, the time has come to put an end to my football career. Next Sunday, June 23 at 10:00 AM, local time in Japan, I will have a press conference in Tokyo to explain all the details. See you there.”
Fernando Torres said at a media conference held in Tokyo on Sunday: “I always say that the best player I ever played with is Steven Gerrard. I found in him the player that completed my game. I think my level reached a different dimension when I was on the pitch with him. It was an amazing three and a half years playing alongside Steven, and I would love to go back to those days, even if it was for one minute.”
He has also named Chelsea legend John Terry and long-serving Barcelona skipper Carles Puyol as his toughest opponents he had faced. He said: “It’s difficult to only say one name. I have played against some of the best defenders in the world. I remember when I played against John Terry, who later was my team-mate, that was really difficult. Also against Puyol. I would say these two – playing against Terry and playing against Puyol was a real nightmare.”
Torres has recognised that his level has dropped and is now considering a career in coaching. Torres addressed the media today to explain his decision to retire. He added: “I have a high demand from myself. I’ve always wanted to be honest and to perform at the level I think I should. And I think the time I will not be able to perform at the level I ask for myself is not far away and I don’t want to arrive at the time that I am going on the pitch and I’m not enjoying it. So I want to put an end before that happens. Knowing my body and listening to my body, I think especially mentally that time is not far away and I want to finish my career in a good way before that happens. I’ve always been honest with myself and the club I’m playing for – I think that is the best way. I gave everything I had for my club and I will still give in the next two months.” To say goodbye to football next to two very good friends – we share too many memories together – will be something great. I tried to find an iconic moment to play my final game and I think that is the perfect timing. Ending my career, playing next to my dear friend Iniesta is something I could never imagine, and Japan is going to make it possible. Also, there will be my friend David Villa, with who I probably share the best moments in Spanish football history. I don’t know if it will be coaching or managing. I will study both things. I’m sure it will be something related to football because it’s been my life and it’s where I think I can offer more things.”
Torres will play his last game on 23rd August against Vissel Kobe, who Iniesta and Villa play for.
Fernando Torres came through the ranks at Atletico Madrid. He joined them as an 11-year-old in 1995 and at the age of 17, he made his debut for the first-team squad. In his first full campaign for Atletico, he scored six goals in 36 Segunda Division matches. Atletico earned promotion after that and Torres got his first taste of LaLiga football in 2002-03. In that season, he scored 13 goals in 29 games and went on to establish himself as one of the league’s most promising forwards.
He then made a £20m move to Liverpool in 2007. Torres made a huge impact with the Reds, scoring 24 goals as he took the Premier League by storm in his debut campaign. He scored 81 goals in 142 games for Liverpool.
In 2011, Torres was signed by Chelsea for a then British record transfer fee of £50m. Although he failed to replicate his goalscoring form at Stamford Bridge, he was part of the Blues’ Champions League-winning team in 2012. He also won the FA Cup and scored in their 2-1 win against Benfica in the Europa League final in 2013. He scored 45 goals in 172 games at Chelsea.
Torres had a brief four-month loan spell at AC Milan but then he returned to Atletico Madrid in late 2014. He finished on the losing side as Atletico lost the 2016 Champions League final to their city rivals Real Madrid. But he won his second Europa League in 2018 with Atletico Madrid, which was his final appearance for Atletico. He then moved to Japan and now have decided to end his illustrious 18-year long football career.
Atletico Madrid released an official statement: “During his career he became a legend by his own merits, and left an unforgettable mark both in the field and in the hearts of everyone he worked with.”

Atletico Madrid have signed Real Madrid midfielder Marcos Llorente for a reported transfer fee of €40m.
Atletico Madrid have finalised the signing of Marcos Llorente from their city rivals Real Madrid on a five-year deal over a transfer reported to be worth €40million, on Thursday after he passed the medical at the Clinica Universidad de Navarra.
Llorente is expected to replace Rodri at the Wanda Metropolitano amid strong rumours that his compatriot is on the brink of a big-money move to Manchester City.

Atletico Madrid issued a club statement: “We welcome a great footballer to whom we wish the best of luck in this beautiful new challenge.”
After joining Real Madrid’s youth set-up aged 14, Llorente progressed through the ranks, making his first-team debut in 2015 before being loaned out to Alaves the following season. The 24-year-old also had an impressive loan spell at Alaves in 2016/17 and won the U-21 European Championship that summer with Spain. His new team-mate Saul Niguez was also a part of that winning side. Llorente made 36 appearances in total and scored twice, during his time at Real Madrid. But he has made just seven LaLiga appearances last season and will hope for more opportunities with Atletico Madrid.
Llorente wrote on Twitter, with a picture of him holding the Club World Cup: “I was a child who, like so many others, dreamed of playing football. I grew up and started dreaming about playing at Real Madrid. I learned and put everything aside to do it and my dream was fulfilled. But you can never stop working, no matter how much you succeed, nor stop dreaming, no matter how much some dreams come true. Today I leave Real Madrid, which has been my home since I was 14 years old. I leave with no regrets.”
Llorente is following in the footsteps of his father, Paco, and his grandfather, Ramon Grosso, who also represented both of the Spanish capital’s biggest clubs. Thibaut Courtois, Theo Hernandez, Raul, Alvaro Morata, Santiago Solari and Bernd Schuster have also played for both the city rivals – Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.
