  • Barcelona Signs Dutch Midfielder Frenkie De Jong from Ajax

    Barcelona Signs Dutch Midfielder Frenkie De Jong from Ajax

    Frenkie de Jong is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ajax.

    Barcelona signed 21-year-old Dutch midfielder from Ajax for 75 million Euros, plus a further 11 million in variables on Wednesday, although he won’t start playing until next season.

    Accord to FC Barcelona news, “FC Barcelona and Ajax have reached an agreement for the transfer of midfielder Frenkie de Jong, who will be joining the Catalan club from 1 July 2019. The player will be signing a contract for the next five seasons, through to 2023/24”.

    De Jong has been compared to Barça legend Johan Cruyff, a comparison he vehemently rejects, “I feel honoured,” De Jong says. “But I don’t think you can compare the two of us. He is so much better than me. He had so much quality. I will never reach that level. I don’t want to compare myself to Cruyff. And I think people who do that don’t want me to compare to Cruyff, they just see similarities in us. But not the same qualities. I watch his videos and he was amazing; the way he moved with the ball, the way he saw the game.”

    Watching him move around the pitch, orchestrating play, breaking opposition lines with his dribbles and using smart passes to manoeuvre colleagues like chess pieces, De Jong’s acumen for identifying and utilising space is striking. Like Cruyff before him, he plays football intelligently and intuitively, something he discussed in a recent interview with the guardian.

    “When I am on the pitch I play on intuition but I think a lot about the game as well,” De Jong said. “With my intuition, it is not just that I receive the ball and always think ‘I’m going to do this’ straight away, even though it just happens that way sometimes.

    “Most good players play on intuition. Everyone has a little but I don’t know if you can learn it. Sometimes I’m planning. I’m always searching for the pass. I’m always looking to see my teammate. ‘Is he free?’ Then you already know what to do. But sometimes the situation can change. Then you have to react and use your intuition. I try to have a picture when I receive the ball and know where everyone is. That’s one of the most important things for a midfielder.”

  • Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) Revealed the ending of ‘Game of Thrones’ Season 8

    Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) Revealed the ending of ‘Game of Thrones’ Season 8

    The clock is ticking, every seconds seems like an hour as we impatiently wait for the beginning-of-the-end of our favorite–at least most of us–TV show Game of Thrones, to return to our TV screens. April 2019 sure feels like a decade from now.

    However, while we wait, GoT actress, Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) has spilled the beans about the ending of HBO’s  Game of Thrones to a few close friends but only because they asked for it.

    Sophie revealed in an interview with W Magazine that she couldn’t resist dropping a few discreet bombshells when quizzed by her loved ones.

    Fully admitting that she is entirely useless at keeping secret, “I’m so bad at keeping secrets,” Sophie admitted. “I don’t think people tell me things anymore because they know that I can’t keep them. I’ve already told the ending of Game of Thrones to a few people.”

    She clarified that she was actually sober when she shared the conclusion with her friends, Turner said: “I was like, ‘hey, if you want to know, I’ll tell you.’ But it’s people that I know not random people. It’s people that I know will keep the secret.”

    Could this be the revelation of Sansa and Arya’s deaths in Game of Thrones Season 8?

    Maybe, if we ask nicely we can get on the good side of Sophie and have her tell us the ‘secret’, in the meantime, here is a trailer to reflect on.

    In the short clip above, Jon Snow (played by Kit Harington) reflects on his true heritage.

    The hero of The North will soon discover his real parents after believing he was a bastard all of his life.

    Jon takes a trip through the Winterfell crypts while voices from season one echo through.

    He remembers Ned Stark’s (Sean Bean) words about how he is a Stark through blood, and wonders what that means.

    It seems he’s coming close to an answer when the footage flips to Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) and Arya Stark (Maisie Williams).

    However, it seems there’s a big clue as to the end of Game of Thrones.

    The trio stand in front of some statues of themselves and the camera lingers on them.

    It quickly transpires they are representative of each characters.

    Arya and Sansa’s statues are their likeness today but it is the contrast with Jon’s that seems to shed light on what’s coming.

    His is decidedly older and is sporting a big beard.

    Does this flip to the future suggest there’s going to be one survivor in the Stark clan?

    Furthermore, there’s no sign of Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) in the teasing clip.

    Game of Thrones season 8 will return to HBO and Sky Atlantic on April 14. Seasons 1-7 are currently streaming on NOW TV.

    Cardiff City FC Player Emiliano Sala on missing Plane

    Argentine professional soccer player Emiliano Sala, who just signed with Cardiff City from Nantes last week for a club-record fee, has gone missing after the plane he was on disappeared over the English Channel on Monday night.

    According to the BBC, Guernsey Police said there was “no trace” of the Cardiff-bound flight. 

    Sala’s father, Horacio, told Argentine TV channel C5N, he heard the news from a friend.

    “I didn’t know anything. I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “I’m desperate. I hope everything goes well.”

    As BBC reports, the plane left Nantes France at 7:15 p.m. local time and was flying at 5,000 feet when it contracted air traffic control requesting descent. The plane then lost contact while at 2,300 feet and disappeared off the radar.

    Police said on Tuesday more than 1,150sq miles had been searched by five aircraft and two lifeboats. The search had resumed after being called off overnight “due to strengthening winds, worsening sea conditions and reducing visibility”.

    Ken Choo, chief executive of the Bluebirds, said: “We were very shocked upon hearing the news that the plane had gone missing. “We expected Emiliano to arrive last night into Cardiff and today was due to be his first day with the team. Our owner, Tan Sri Vincent Tan, and chairman, Mehmet Dalman, are all very distressed about the situation.”

    FC Nantes supporters gather in Nantes after it was announced that Emiliano Sala was missing. They are praying and hoping that Sala be found.

    Flowers and candles have been placed in Nantes’ main square as search for Emiliano Sala continues.

  • Chinese Schools introduce Smart Uniforms with GPS Chips to track Students during School Hours

    Chinese Schools introduce Smart Uniforms with GPS Chips to track Students during School Hours

    China has introduced a new technology that will track students location using their school uniform. The new tech dubbed smart uniforms will be to tell the exact location of your ward.

    Eleven schools in the South-West province of Guizhou have introduced the uniforms, which were developed by local tech firm Guizhou Guanyu Technology.

    These smart uniforms record the time and date a student enters the school and a short video parents can see through a mobile app. This is to help encourage good attendance rates.

    It triggers an alarm to notify both teachers and parents of the student’s absence and an automatic voice alarm is activated if a student leaves school without permission.

    The chips can detect when a student has fallen asleep in class, and can also allow students to make payments using biometrics attributes to confirm the purchase.

    The company’s project manager, said that the school would only use the tracking beyond school hours if a pupil were to go missing

    smart uniforms

    He said the two chips, which are installed in each uniform’s shoulders, are able to withstand up to 500 washes and 150C. So that means students can wash, and rewash their uniforms without any problem.

  • Police Issue Warrant for Soccer Superstar Ronaldo’s DNA in Rape Case

    Police Issue Warrant for Soccer Superstar Ronaldo’s DNA in Rape Case

    Authorities in Las Vegas have issued a warrant to obtain the DNA of soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo to see if it matches that found on a dress of a woman who has accused him of rape, according to a law-enforcement official with knowledge of the case.

    The authorities sent the warrant recently to the court system in Italy, where Mr. Ronaldo plays soccer, the official said.

    Las Vegas police reopened the case in the fall after the woman, Kathryn Mayorga, filed a lawsuit alleging that Mr. Ronaldo raped her in 2009 in Las Vegas and then paid her $375,000 to keep it secret.

    Mr. Ronaldo and his attorneys have repeatedly denied the rape allegations.

    “Mr. Ronaldo has always maintained, as he does today, that what occurred in 2009 in Las Vegas was consensual in nature,” Peter S. Christiansen, an attorney for Mr. Ronaldo, said in October. Mr. Chistiansen declined to comment on Wednesday on the new developments in the probe.

    An attorney for Ms. Mayorga and a Las Vegas police spokeswoman didn’t respond to requests for comment.

    A key piece of evidence in the investigation is a dress from the night in question nine years ago. Las Vegas police found DNA other than Ms. Mayorga’s on the dress, the law-enforcement official said. When the warrant is served in Italy, authorities would be expected to collect a sample of Mr. Ronaldo’s DNA and send it to Las Vegas police, who would assess whether it matches that found on the dress, the official said.

    Mr. Ronaldo plays for the Turin, Italy-based club Juventus, which signed him in a $92 million transfer last summer.

    The alleged rape occurred in June 2009. Mr. Ronaldo, then 24, was on vacation in Las Vegas and met Ms. Mayorga in the Rain nightclub at the Palms Casino Resort before inviting her to a party in his suite, according to her civil complaint.

    It was there that Mr. Ronaldo forced himself on Ms. Mayorga while she begged him to stop, the filing alleges. The complaint adds that “when Cristiano Ronaldo completed the sexual assault of the plaintiff, he allowed her to leave the bedroom stating he was sorry, he was usually a gentleman.”

    Ms. Mayorga reported the alleged sexual assault to police on the day it occurred. Under Nevada law, there is no statute of limitations on investigations or potential charges stemming from such reports.

    Di Marzio Sky Sport journalist insist that the striker’s future lies with the Italian club

    “Moreover, Milan has no intention of letting the player go because it would be difficult to replace him. Milan would not make money from the sale of Higuain.
