OFFICIAL: Bayern Munich complete signing of Dayot Upamecano from RB Leipzig

0

The race is over. 

Bayern Munich have reached total agreement with Dayot Upamecano regarding a transfer to Bavaria once the season ends, and the youngster will put pen to paper in the summer, as revealed by multiple sources. 

RB Leipzig had a release clause worth €42.5 million in the Frenchman’s contract, which will be matched by Bayern and the transfer will go through once the money arrives. 

Sporting Director, Hasan Salihamidžić also confirmed the news in quotes given to German news outlet Bild on Friday night.

“I can confirm that and we’re very happy about it at Bayern,” he said regarding a move for the Frenchman.

“We had very good, intense and professional discussions with the player and his agent Volker Struth for several months.

“We know we have a very tough competition. Upamecano is a young player, 22, whose qualities are already exceptionally developed.

“I was always convinced that we had with a good concept. We presented him with our vision of his career at Bayern.”

The 22-year-old is expected to stay with Bayern Munich till 2026, and RB Leipzig have found a replacement for the outgoing centre-back in the form of Mohamed Simakan, who joins the Red Bull Arena from Ligue 1 club Strasbourg. 

Clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool and Real Madrid were heavily linked with the centre-back’s services, but the recent sextuple winners were always leading the race for the defender’s signature, and now the deal has officially been announced after almost a year of speculation regarding Upamecano’s future. 

Is this the end of the journey for SC East Bengal in this season’s ISL?

SC East Bengal’s ISL journey of this season almost ends after today’s draw against Hyderabad FC. The defensive flaws of SC East Bengal at the death has haunted them again.

Hyderabad FC made two changes in this game. Liston Colaco and Joel Chianese came in the team for Mohammed Yasir and Fran Sandaza. SC East Bengal came up with the same team that beat Jamshedpur FC a few days back.

Both teams were not in their best from the best. Both have created enough chances but failed to break the deadlock. SC East Bengal goalkeeper Subrata Paul was excellent today. SC East Bengal took the lead after a blistering counter-attack by Bright Enobakhare. But SC east Bengal defence switched off again at the last moment as Hyderabad FC scored the equalizer to took a point from this game.

After the match, SC East Bengal coach Tony Grant said, “Two points taken away from us tonight. It is going to be tough to make it to the playoffs. We set the team up at the exact same formation as the game as JFC, it was the first time we had the opportunity to do that.”

Hyderabad FC manager Manuel Marquez said, “I am happy. I try to be objective. In first half we had more chances. In second half they scored. Great goal from Bright. After that it is a clear penalty in my watch. I think most of the draws, we had to have the game finished, like the game against Odisha. A lot of draws we had the control, but I am very happy because it not easy. Three games to play and we are in the fight for the top four. We are satisfied and proud of the players.”

Hyderabad FC is in the 3rd position with 24 points from first 17 matches while SC East Bengal is at 9th with 17 points playing the same number of matches. It is quite impossible for SC East Bengal to qualify for the play-offs. The Red and Golds want to end the season on a good note winning the last three games of the season.

NTSB call ‘pilot disorientation’ as the cause of Kobe Bryant’s helicopter crash

0

On Tuesday, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determined the probable cause of the tragic helicopter crash that took the lives of basketball legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna Bryant and seven others was because of the pilot violating federal flight standards.

Pilot Ara Zobayan flew through thick fog and probably became disoriented which led to the fatal accident, Robert Sumwalt, the chairman of the NTSB, said during a hearing to determine the cause of the accident. He said the pilot was “flying under visual flight orders or VFR which legally prohibited him from penetrating the clouds” but he still flew through the clouds.

Investigators said that once Zobayan lost sight of the ground, he probably thought he was climbing when, in fact, the helicopter was plunging toward a hillside. They also concluded that Zobayan probably put pressure on himself to complete the flight because of Bryant’s celebrity and a friendship they had developed.

The Associated Press reported that the NTSB said there was no sign of mechanical failure and the crash appeared to be an accident.

Per the preliminary report by the safety board, Seconds before he crashed, Mr. Zobayan told a flight controller he was trying to climb to 4,000 feet in an attempt to get above the clouds, but the helicopter was actually falling. The helicopter crashed at 9:45 a.m., about 39 minutes after it had taken off from John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana.

Bryant regularly traveled by helicopter to avoid the city’s notorious traffic, and on the morning of January 26, 2020, he was taking his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, and her friends and their family members from Orange County to Ventura County for a youth basketball tournament at the Mamba Sports Academy.

Durant’s 4,234,433 votes lead all Eastern Conference players. Stephen Curry and Bradley Beal are the top vote-getters among guards in each conference. 

Durant, James and Curry were the only stars who had received at least two million votes in the first round of voting. They had leads of at least 550,000 votes at their respective positions. This time around, they are the only players with over four million votes. Curry has the largest lead of any player with 1,548,498 more votes than Luka Doncic, the No. 2 guards in the Western Conference.

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal has strengthened his hold as the top guard in the Eastern Conference, leapfrogging past LA Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard and Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic to go from ninth to seventh in overall votes.

Among the Western Conference guards, Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell jumped Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant while Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso has entered the top 10, replacing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Real Madrid could be in a big mess at the end of the season

0

Manchester United are rumoured to be in the race for Real Madrid skipper Sergio Ramos. Ramos’ agent is reportedly flying to Manchester to prepare an agreement, but there is nothing yet. 

Speaking on the transfer rumour on the Here We Go podcast, Fabrizio Romano mentioned that such big player free agent deals are always open races with big clubs involved. PSG are the only club that have actually shown interest. 

Credits: Real Madrid twitter

They are not going to buy the player and are only interested in signing Ramos as a free agent. Nothing concrete has been achieved with United. However, PSG are willing to match his demands of having a two-year contract and his salary too. 

Other players can leave Madrid, and the club have been linked with a change in manager too. Loanees Martin Odegaard or Ceballos could leave too. The Isco situation is complicated and is stuck. He is pushing to leave Madrid, but there are no permanent bids for the player. 

loan offers were deemed unacceptable by Madrid for the Spaniard. With the situation developing, the summer situation will be interesting. He wants to leave due to a severe lack of minutes on the pitch. Lucas Vasquez also has no agreement with the club regarding a new contract. 

Big changes could be in place at Real Madrid Next summer, with Los Blancos being heavily linked with a big-money bid for Kylian Mbappe. 

However, one of the greatest challenges in making those changes lies in the situation surrounding Gareth Bale and Tottenham.

If he continues like the way he is, he has no chances of staying. People around the club are expecting something to change within the Welshman. They want him to change his attitude, more specifically, along with manager Jose Mourinho. 

Real Madrid will have to deal with the situations surrounding Ramos, Vasquez, Isco, Marcelo and the potentially returning wages of Gareth Bale, which is a recipe for a big mess in the works.

Daniel Levy and co., however, hope that he can change things around or the player will be back at the Spanish capital. Right now, the performances from him are not at the level that they want and the second half of the season will tell whether Bale ends up staying in London or returning to Madrid again.

Pernille Harder proving her worth at Chelsea

0

Its been only six months that she moved from the Frauen Bundesliga to the FA Women’s Super League, where she was signed by Chelsea, but it did not take Pernille Harder long to steal the show in England.

The Danish international has signed a three-year deal and has proved her worth of that world record fee after having a quick impact for manager Emma Hayes’s side.

The talented Danish forward has shown that she can handle the pressure effortlessly without any signs of slowing down. In this season, She has 10 goals to her name for Chelsea in all competitions, which also includes a hat-trick in the Conti Cup semi-final against West Ham and scored twice against Arsenal on 10 February. Her skills are reflected in her game, her playing style, including her goal tally, and play an important role in Chelsea’s chance creation.

Pernille Harder’s pass rate in the penalty area and her progressive passes are in the 93rd percentile, which is according to her WSL statistics on FBref. Even her total shots, excluding penalties, is in the 99th percentile and her direct goal creating actions is in the 98th percentile, which is more impressive and extraordinary.

Her exceptional skills and qualities convinced Hayes to sign Harder for a world record of €300k back in the fall.

“One of her biggest attributes is her movement,” Hayes stated on Chelsea’s official website in September 2020.

“She knows when to create space for others. Her decision-making in the final third and the timing of her run into the box is exceptional,” She further added.

“Her finishing and nose for goal is proven on the world stage for a number of years,” She finally concluded.

Apart from Harder’s excellent technical ability, Hayes outlined her work ethic within the team, which is also an important skill for the Blues.

When Harder signed for the Blues, she expressed her excitement to share the field with Fran Kirby. And now, they have been a dynamic duo on the pitch for Chelsea, with Kirby providing assist twice to Harder in the match against Arsenal before scoring one of her own.

Harder has the Guardian’s best female footballer on the planet and the 2019/20 UEFA Women’s Player of the Year to her name and exceptional qualities, and no doubt she has a brighter future ahead.
