Areola knows that it will be a tough task to oust the Belgian as the number one at the Bernabeu. But he revealed that the chance to join Madrid was too good to turn down. He cited Los Blancos’ iconic former goalkeeper Casillas as an influence on his decision.
Alphonse Areola told a news conference about following in Casillas’ footsteps: “I have spoken to my friends and family about what it means to be number one in this side. Casillas was one of my idols when I was young in France, he made me want to play in goal. In fact, I’ve got a shirt of his from when I was young.”
“I think it’s good to try and take on this responsibility to be number one and try and prove I can be number one. It’s true, I only have one year on loan here, but I’ve seen the stadium, the history here and I’m going to do as much as I possibly can. Of course, there’s a hierarchy already but as soon as I get the chance I’m going to try and show the level I’ve got. It was a good opportunity to come to the biggest club in the world and take advantage of that, to improve as a player and discover a new opportunity. It’s a great opportunity for me.”
Areola is also excited to play under French legend Zidane. He said: “It is true I am coming to a club that is coached by a legend. It is an honour for me to be here with Zidane, to play under him, and I am going to do the best I can for him. He’s given me a great welcome. My objective is to give everything I can every day in training, be ready for every game. When I have a chance to show my level, show how good I can be, I have to be strong and show what I am worth.”

Microsoft is currently working on its Surface series laptops and on its last year’s introduced Microsoft Go. This tiny computing device is lot more handy & portable, mostly like a tablet with Windows carrying an Intel chip for productive purpose.
The silicon giant’s annual event is just a month away and we are seeing leaked benchmarks of its laptops. The new Benchmark listing that we see here might be Microsoft’s upcoming model of Surface Go that features 8th Gen Intel Core m3 fanless CPU and 8GB of RAM.
The name of the benchmarked model is ‘OEMTX OEMTX Product Name EV1’ which is quite similar to the codename of previous generation of Surface Go.
The entry level laptop is benchmarked with Intel Core m3-8100Y and 8GB of RAM. The CPU is a 2 core, 4 thread one with a base clock speed of 1.60GHz and has L3 cache of 4MB.
Here it shows that m3-8100Y is clocked at a max speed of 3.39GHz, obtaining a single-core score of 3,113 and a multi-core score of 5,621. The last year’s Surface Go with Intel Pentium 4415Y, has obtained a 1,895 single-core score and a 3,874 multi-core score.
The newer Surface go will be much stronger and improved when compared with the last gen model. The original Surface Go with Intel Pentium used to run max at 1.6GHz and did lack the Turbo Boost feature. On the other hand, the Surface Go with Intel Core m3 will apparently support this feature.
It is worth noting that the model here runs on Windows 10 Pro. When we compare the new model with previous year model with the new one, we see the the new Surface Go is lot more powerful about 65% more powerful on single core and 45% more on multi core.
These benchmarks have raised a new speculation of that Microsoft might be updating its Surface products at its annual event. Also, Microsoft did confirm to be hosting its event on 2nd of October but for now the new Microsoft Go is only a speculation.
The draw with Qatar felt like a massive win for Igor Stimac’s side. Let’s take a look at how India are poised now for a World Cup 2022 berth!
The Indian football team held the Asian Champions Qatar for a goalless draw in the World Cup 2022 qualifier at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium in Doha on Tuesday.
India were without their talismanic captain Sunil Chhetri against Qatar. Gurpreet Singh Sandhu took the captaincy role in the absence of Chhetri and played it to perfection. He was almost unbeatable under the Indian bars. He made a total of 11 saves throughout the match and gave his side a hard-earned 1 point.
Dear India, THAT is my team and THOSE are my boys! Cannot describe how proud I am at this moment. Not a big result for the table, but in terms of a fight, as big as it can get. Huge credit to the coaching staff and the dressing room. #QATIND
Sunil Chhetri tweeted after the match: “Dear India, that is my team and those are my boys! Cannot describe how proud I am at this moment. Not a big result for the table, but in terms of a fight, as big as it can get. Huge credit to the coaching staff and the dressing room”.
India’s hero of that famous draw, goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu told the AIFF: “I feel extremely proud of the team for our performance against Qatar. The team-effort helped us achieve the result. It will help us immensely in the qualifiers.”
Qatar are ranked at 62 in the world while India currently sit in the 103rd spot in the list. India were coming into the match after a last-minute loss of 1-2 in the hands of Oman in the 1st match of the FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifiers. Probably that’s why the draw felt like a huge win for the in-transition Igor Stimac’s side. Qatar had more than two dozen shots on the Indian goal out of which at least a dozen were on target. But the Indian goal was guarded by the safe hands and feet of Gurpreet who made many valiant saves. On the other hand, India had just two shots on the opposition goal in the entire match.
Head coach Igor Stimac put in place a holding plan that centered on India playing a tight positional game and cut off spaces for the Qataris to operate in. To the credit of the Indians, they defended brilliantly, maintained their shape throughout and did not give any space to the speedy Qatari attackers. The plan almost worked to perfection. Sahal Abdul Samad was brilliant in the midfield as he, on a few occasions, got the better of his opponents and sent fine passes to the likes of Udanta Singh who threatened with his pace through the right flank in the latter half of the match.
Igor Stimac’s side are now on 1 point after 2 matches. While Qatar have already qualified as the host nation, they currently sit atop the table with 4 points from 2 matches. India will host Bangladesh in Kolkata for their next match of the World Cup 2022 qualifiers on 15th October.
What are India’s chances of qualifying for the World Cup 2022?
After the 1-2 loss against Oman, India’s chances of qualifying looked almost over. But the famous draw against Qatar have opened up new hopes for the new-look Indian side.
Four nations qualify directly from the Asian continent for the World Cup while the fifth team goes to a playoff with a nation from another continent. 46 nations compete for these four and a half spots from Asia.
India will have to win or finish second in the current qualifying group that also includes Qatar (who are already through as hosts), Oman, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Last time, India finished last in their group, managing only a 1-0 home win over Guam.
If India manage to qualify through the group stage then they will enter the next round of qualification which will involve the top 12 teams from Asia. These 12 teams will be divided into two groups of six each. If India want to make it to the World Cup 2022 they will, once again, have to finish in the top two to qualify. If they finish third they will have to play a playoff match. But sadly, India have never reached this stage before.
The hopes are very high from this new-looked and improved Indian side. Though the chances of playing in the Qatar World Cup 2022 looks very bleak but still billions of Indians are keeping their fingers crossed after seeing such an impressive performance from the Indian team against a Qatar side who have scored against every Asian opponent they faced this campaign.

Mircosoft’s Surface laptops are some premium-end laptops launched every year by the company in October. So its natural that the electronic giant will launch their Surface laptops with the latest 10th Gen Intel Ice Lake CPUs.
For the last couple of weeks we have seen several companies stacking up their old laptops with the newer 10th Gen Intel CPUs.
Not to forget, these 10nm Ice Lake CPUs have much better performance with impressive IPC boost along with better efficiency. Though these CPUs are limited to 4 cores but the extra features like LPDDR4X support make they future ready.
In the upcoming month, Microsoft is all set to announce its newer Surface laptops running on the 10nm CPUs. This ultimately helps these laptops to gain around 18% (IPC) of the performance from the previous generation.
According to the leaked benchmark the product stated here is named ‘OEMJL OEMJL Product Name EV1.5A’ which is similar to the Microsoft Go model which appeared in the benchmarks recently. This Microsoft Surface model packs in a Intel Core i5-1035G1 processor that comes with 4 cores, 8 threads clocked at 1.19GHz base frequency,
The Geekbench scores here are: single-core score of 4349 while the multi-core score is 13401. Now if this is the true Surface Laptop 3 then it has greater scores than last year’s generation that managed to score 3817 (single-core) and 11983 (multi-core).
Well other details are not yet known but we can expect the same portability, slim profile laptop as the previous gen. Also the stunning display along with soft and tactile keyboard is expected from Microsoft.
It would be great if Microsoft include Wi-Fi 6, LPDDR4X, more USB C ports and other essential features that 10th Gen CPUs will help them achieve. Microsoft is planning to launch the new Surface devices on 2nd of October at Microsoft’s event in New York.
Lionel Messi has finally commented on the speculated return of his former Barcelona teammate.
Neymar has struggled to get the PSG fans behind him since his record-breaking €222million move in 2017. He wanted a return to his former club Barcelona. The Barcelona players, including Messi and Suarez who formed the famous MSN attacking trio along with Neymar, wanted the Brazilian back at Camp Nou. The transfer saga stretched till the transfer deadline day but the dramatic return of Neymar to Camp Nou did not happen.
Messi told to Sport about the transfer of Neymar: “I don’t know if Barca did everything possible for his return. But it is true that negotiating with PSG is not easy. I would have loved for Neymar to return. He is one of the best players in the world and at the image level and sponsors we would have taken a leap that would have given us stability. In the locker room, we never asked for Ney’s signing. We gave our opinion, but it has become clear that despite what they say, I do not command.”
Messi further added: “I understand those people who are against his return and it’s understandable for what happened with ‘Ney’ and the way that he left. But thinking about it on a sporting level, I personally think Neymar is one of the best players in the world and having him in our squad would increase our chances of achieving our objectives. But, in the end, it didn’t happen and we have to only think about the squad we have and focus on our goals. To be honest, I don’t know. I didn’t have much information about how the negotiations were going to say whether or not Barcelona did everything possible. I don’t know what happened with the board. I know that I spoke with Ney and he told me how things were going. He was desperate to come back. I don’t know if the club really tried or not.”
“What I do know, Neymar was hoping it would happen. I also understand it’s very difficult to negotiate with PSG after all their previous back and forth issues with Barcelona. And it’s difficult because Neymar is one of the best around. Negotiations are never easy. I can’t offer an opinion because I don’t know everything. I know what was published and what they said.”
Neymar still has three years remaining on his current PSG contract. But he is yet to feature for Thomas Tuchel’s side this season. The 27-year-old made his first appearance of this campaign for Brazil during the international break.
Messi has also missed all of Barcelona’s games this season with a calf injury. And adding more sorrow to his fans, he has confirmed that he will not be available for the match against Valencia this weekend.
