Brooklyn Nets at once had two pillars infected with COVID-19

While DeAndre Jordan is a strong wall, Spencer Dinwiddie is having a booming season for the Brooklyn Nets. Now both have COVID-19 infection.

The term of the army was close to the NBA teams, but new COVID-19 infections were constantly appearing.

Not long after 16 positive cases were discovered a few days ago, Brooklyn Nets had two more cases of COVID-19. Unfortunately, these two shifts are attached to two important pillars of the team, Spencer Dinwiddie and DeAndre Jordan.

Announcing on his personal page, DeAndre Jordan announced he was infected with COVID-19 and will not join the Brooklyn Nets squad playing in Orlando at the end of July.

According to prestigious journalist Adrian Wojnarowski, Jordan was infected with COVID-19 while in Brooklyn for training. Now the Nets will be looking for a player to replace DeAndre Jordan’s position in the squad.

Losing DeAndre Jordan has opened a very difficult gap to fill in the center position. But sadly for Brooklyn, scoring star Spencer Dinwiddie was also infected with COVID-19.

According to journalist Shams Charania, Spencer Dinwiddie has been positive for SARS-CoV-2 and has many symptoms.

Answering The Athletic, superstar Brooklyn Nets said that he had tried to adhere to the rules of social isolation and had many negative tests.

However, after returning to New York to prepare for training with the team, Dinwiddie was determined to be infected with COVID-19.

Brooklyn Nets is currently ranked 7th in the Eastern Rankings with a record of 30-34, ranked in the 8th place is Orlando Magic in exactly 0.5 matches (30-35). The loss of two pillars at once will cause quite a lot of danger for this team, especially when entering the Playoffs round.

Even so, Brooklyn may have turned their sights on next season, where Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant are healthy again. So, what the Nets fans are most looking forward to at the moment is that Spencer Dinwiddie and DeAndre Jordan can fully recover after COVID-19.

With the number of COVID-19 infections increasing in the NBA community, the possibility of resuming the season in Orlando in late July is at stake.

According to a statement from Adam Silver, executive committee member of the tournament, the NBA will consider suspending the restart if there are too many cases.

Up to 2 cases of Brooklyn Nets, NBA had a total of 19 players with COVID-19 in this test.

How did Barca’s young talents fail at La Masia?

Barca’s La Masia youth academy has produced many talents for the world football village but there are many players who fail here.

Barca can be proud of the La Masia training furnace that has produced many of the best footballers in the world, such as Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Puyol, Guardiola. However, the famous academy Barca also has many cases of very unfortunate failures.

The most unfortunate case to mention is Mauro Icardi. The Argentinian striker was not given the opportunity to play in the first team, although no less talented than anyone. Icardi then moved to Sampdoria, before shining in Inter Milan and was only pushed to PSG because of a conflict with the coaching staff.

Các tài năng trẻ của Barca từng thất bại ở La Masia như thế nào?

While on loan at PSG, Icardi still showed the instinct of an assassin, scoring 20 goals in 28 appearances. Earlier, Icardi also contributed 124 goals in 219 matches with Inter Milan.

The case of Giovani dos Santos is different. The Mexican was named the new Ronaldinho and was given 37 chances to play for the first team Barca. However, Dos Santos’s career went downhill after leaving Barca. He made his trip to Tottenham at the age of 19, but was mostly on loan during nearly four seasons playing in England.

After that, Dos Santos wandered to Real Mallorca and Villarreal before moving to LA Galaxy when he was 26 years old. Last year, the 30-year-old returned to his homeland to wear Club America.

Oriol Romeu’s case is also very unfortunate. The tall Spanish midfielder who was highly regarded in La Masia never got first-team football because Barca already had Busquets. Later, Romeu trip to Chelsea and also failed, only stable when playing for the mid-range team Southampton.

Jeffren Suarez’s story is even more tragic. The Venezuelan winger once shone at the Super Classic match against Real Madrid, but an injury that caused his career to fade so quickly.

Jeffren was forced to leave Barca and wander through Sporting Lisbon, Real Valladolid, Eupen, Grasshoppers, AEK Larnaca and now Slaven Belupo. No matter which club he is, Jeffren still can’t recover his form to help him score against Real Madrid.

Isaac Cuenca is another case of losing his future in Barca due to injury. After suffering a serious knee injury at the age of 22, Cuenca had to move to Ajax on loan and gradually disappeared on the European football map.

Meanwhile, the story of Adama Traore is in conflict with the Barca coaching staff, although the winger’s talent is highly appreciated. At the age of 19, Traore decided to look for opportunities in England and the reward is excellent performance in the Wolves shirt.

Some other unfortunate cases of the La Masia kiln include Marc Muniesa, Jonathan Soriano, or Gai Assulin. They are all talented players and may have shone at another club, instead of competing for first place with Barca’s star-studded squad.

Is the remaining schedule of Barca or Real Madrid more difficult?

Barca has just been beaten to the top by La Real Madrid despite the points. So whose remaining schedule will be more difficult in the championship race?

Both Barca and Real Madrid have 4 games at home and 4 matches at other courts. On paper, the matches of Messi and his teammates at the Nou Camp are more difficult than those of formidable opponents.

Barca’s first match was with Athletic Bilbao, the team that won them both in La Liga and the King’s Cup this season. The second match against Atletico, the opponent they lost in the Spanish Super Cup in January. The third match was a derby against Espanyol which of course would not be easy to play. In the end, Osasuna stood in the middle of the table that seemed easiest for the Catalan team.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid will welcome Mallorca (18th) at Alfredo di Stefano followed by Alaves (13) probably not bringing much danger. On a more difficult level, both Getafe and Villarreal are competing for the European Cup.

As for the away schedule, Barca also appear to have more obstacles because they will meet a revived Celta Vigo with a 6-0 victory over Alaves. Villarreal is another challenge when ranked 7th. For Valladolid and Alaves, the difficulty level will depend on whether the teams have escaped or not.

For their part, the remaining 2/4 away matches of Real Madrid meet the relegation rivals: Espanyol and Leganes. The 9th and 10th places Bilbao and Granada may also pose less of a threat to them.

In short, Real Madrid can decide its own fate by more than Barca in terms of confrontation record. That means, if they win the remaining 8 matches, they will win the championship regardless of the other results.

How is the Chelsea squad organized with Timo Werner?

Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Timo Werner and coach Frank Lampard will have to adjust his squad to make room for the German striker.

Chelsea have reached a deal to buy Timo Werner for a fee of £ 53 million. The arrival of the German striker will force coach Frank Lampard to adjust the squad.

Timo Werner established himself as one of the Bundesliga’s top performers after spending four years with RB Leipzig before coming to Chelsea.

Timo Werner is going through his best season with 30 goals and 12 assists in 38 matches in all competitions, bringing RB Leipzig to 91 goals in 152 appearances. As for the German team, he boasts 11 goals in 29 matches.

Werner’s greatest strength is the ability to finish effectively. Since moving from Stuttgart to RB Leipzig at the beginning of the 2016/17 season, only Robert Lewandowski has scored more goals than him in the Bundesliga.

4-3-3

This season, Chelsea have had many successes with 4-3-3 tactics and this could be Lampard’s favorite squad in the near future when they buy both Ziyech and Werner.

At RB Leipzig, Werner repeatedly played wide as a left wing striker. He has good speed, technique and ability to finish and dribble into the middle to coordinate or direct the shot.

Coming to Chelsea, Werner can completely fill the position of Eden Hazard and coordinate well with Tammy Abraham.

4-2-3-1

In this scheme, Timo Werner will kick a little lower but still be an extended player on the left. He teamed up with Mason Mount and Hakim Ziyech to become a trio to support striker Tammy Abraham.

This formation gave Lampard coach more options in terms of personnel because Werner can also play well in the number 9 position. If Abraham cannot play, Werner can completely play as a striker to Christian Pulisic or Callum Hudson-Odoi on the left.

3-4-3

This scheme was not used by Lampard coach at Chelsea because the 3-man defense is often less reliable.

If that happens, Reece James and Cesar Azpilicueta will take on the role of winger, attacking on the defensive to help Werner and Ziyech can wholeheartedly focus on the offensive mission.

In addition, Lampard coach can also use the 3-5-2 or 4-4-2 scheme if combining Werner and Abraham to become Chelsea strikers.

MU’s unprecedented young squad with 4 new faces

MU can line up a talented young star squad with 4 new faces including those loaned or brought from the academy.

Since sitting in the hot seat of MU, coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has always been interested in building a young squad.

In addition to the young talents matured from MU training as Scott McTominay, Mason Greenwood or Brandon Williams, coach Solskjaer chose to buy other young talents like Aaron Wan-Bissaka or Bruno Fernandes.

Williams shone after being given the opportunity to show in the first team MU

With the current ability, Solskjaer can completely build a talented young squad for MU next season.

In the goalkeeper position, David de Gea has shown signs of decline and often make mistakes this season. Therefore, Dean Henderson (23 years old) will be a suitable replacement thanks to the very good performances during his loan time at Sheffield United.

Henderson performed well in the Premier League

In the defense, MU owns two of the best wingers in Europe: Aaron Wan-Bissaka (22 years old) and Brandon Williams (19 years old). Both are very young but soon confirmed their talents and fought in high pressure environments like the Premier League.

Meanwhile, the center-backs Harry Maguire (27) and Victor Lindelof (25) are entering the maturity of their career, so they can completely become a prop for young teammates. Besides, MU also has a strategic reserve card for the defense is Axel Tuanzebe.

Wan-Bissaka is one of Europe’s leading right-backs at the moment

MU midfield also promises to change drastically in the season after Matic is too old, and Pogba is not interested in sticking. Instead, the responsibility for the line between MU will be given to Scott McTominay (23 years old) and Bruno Fernandes (25 years old).

Another young talent that can be given the opportunity to debut the first team MU next season is Hannibal Mejbri, the 17-year-old impressed the player after joining the MU youth team last summer.

MU is pursuing Eduardo Camavinga

In addition, MU is competing with Real Madrid for Eduardo Camavinga, the 17-year-old midfielder shining in Ligue 1 in Rennes. Not to mention coach Solskjaer is still a Fred (27 years old) full of energy, determination and remarkable progress this season.

In the striker line, MU has Marcus Rashford (22) and Mason Greenwood (18). But coach Solskjaer still lacks a piece on the right wing and that is the position for Jadon Sancho, the number one goal of MU in the summer transfer window.

Expected to the main stone team of MU next season

The England midfielder is having a successful season with Dortmund, contributing 14 goals and 16 assists in just 26 games. But because Sancho is so excellent, the transfer fee of this player will be very expensive, expected to be about 100 million pounds.

The day Barca and Messi go down in history to score the most goals a season

May 21 marks the three-year anniversary of Barca ending the season with the most goals in their history in La Liga, despite not winning the championship.

Today marks 3 years since the 2016/17 La Liga season ends. The race ended with the championship for Real Madrid on the final day with 3 points more than Barca (93 versus 90).

However, the season has gone down in history because it is by far the campaign where Barcelona have scored the most goals in La Liga: 116.

The Catalan side met Eibar in Luis Enrique’s last match at the Nou Camp (the King’s Cup final took place in Calderon with Alaves) and he said goodbye to fans with a 4-2 victory.

However, this result is not enough for Barca to win the championship when Real Madrid beat Malaga 2-0. Coincidentally, it was also the final official match for the trident Leo Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar, as the Uruguayan striker missed the King’s Cup final due to a penalty and Brazilian striker to PSG in the summer.

In total, that season, Barca had up to 15 different goalscorers, except for two opposing players who scored an own goal.

Enrique teachers and students exceeded the record in the previous 4 seasons, 2012/13, in which, under the guidance of Tito Vilanova, they reached 115 goals. Oddly enough, the five seasons with the most La Liga goals in Barca’s history have occurred in the past decade and all have the same common denominator Messi – the number one scorer.

In total, in every arena, Barca scored 171 goals that season, the fourth highest scoring season in the club’s history.

In addition to 116 goals in La Liga, there are 26 in the Champions League, 24 in the Copa del Rey and 5 in the Spanish Super Cup. Messi is the top scorer with a total of 54 goals, including 37 in La Liga, giving him Pichichi and the Golden Boot.

NBA 2019-20 will be back at… Disney World?

A clear and highly feasible plan has been put in place to bring the NBA 2019-20 season back to COVID-19.

If the NBA decides to return for the 2019-20 season, one of the top options now is to organize all matches in a single location.

The idea is to have all 30 teams (or 16 teams in the Playoffs round) isolated in the same city to avoid the spread of COVID-19. Afterwards, matches will be held at a designated gym.

NBA 2019-20 sẽ trở lại ở... Disney World?

Over the past several weeks, locations that have been mentioned include Las Vegas, Los Angeles or even the Bahamas. But according to share from the prestigious journalist Shams Charania, the NBA is considering an extremely interesting position: Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

Disney World is a famous entertainment, entertainment and resort complex. As for the Orlando version, this area is described as a miniature city with tens of thousands of rooms, sports stadiums with many basketball courts and is quite close to the Orlando Magic Club training facility.

Disney World-related ideas were first shared by Yahoo Sports journalist Keith Smith. As a former employee here, Mr. Smith understands the operation of this entertainment and resort complex.

Talking more about the advantages, Keith Smith shared that Disney World is ready for quarantine because it is a separate entertainment area. The football fields are also “television friendly” and are available for large-scale sports leagues like the NBA.

However, the challenge is still there. What prevents NBA from re-appearing at Disney World are a number of health-related barriers.

Commissioner Adam Silver shared that the tournament needs the first two conditions to return, that is the ability to test on a large scale (over 10,000 people) and the availability of facilities and medical staff at the venue.

Not only focusing on disease control and public health related to COVID-19, the medical team is also extremely necessary in the process of handling injuries and helping the players achieve their best condition first when playing again.

However, the Disney World plan this time is one of the most feasible options ever that the NBA is seriously considering. Rarely can it hold the entire staff of the entire NBA and not only that, Disney World also has enough human resources to support logistics for the tournament.

Legend of Ivan Lendl: GOAT tennis identified by Grand Slam

The eight-time Grand Slam champion, Ivan Lendl, believes that the title of GOAT (the greatest tennis player in history) must belong to Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic.

Ivan Lendl – the Czech tennis legend who won the Grand Slam eight times – has just participated in the debate over who is GOAT (the greatest tennis player in history). According to him, in the Open Era, the GOAT of men’s tennis is a competition between Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. That title will belong to the final winner of the most Grand Slam men’s singles championships.

Huyền thoại Ivan Lendl: GOAT tennis xác định bằng Grand Slam

The trio have been taking turns dominating the world tennis village over the past decade and sharing all 13 of the latest Grand Slam champions. About 39 years old in August 2020, Federer leads the Grand Slam men’s singles championship list with 20 times. Nadal followed closely 19 times. Next is Djokovic holding the No. 1 in the world with 17 laurels. However, Djokovic is currently the youngest of the Big 3 at the age of 32, 1 year younger than Nadal.

For a long time, when talking about GOAT tennis, from the BLV to the fans were based on many parameters such as the number of weeks in the world tennis rankings, the total number of titles won, the total number of Grand Slams or opposing achievements. direct head.

It was not until they retired that the race was completed. Then we can judge. The race is far from over. We have to see Roger as GOAT now, but the journey is not yet closed. It was a terrible race (because Djokovic and Nadal were younger and could play longer – PV) . “

Over the past few months, Djokovic has frequently complained about his fans supporting Federer and Nadal more when playing. Lendl said that public sentiment does not determine who is GOAT: “The most famous person is one thing, and the best person is not judged by the public.”

How is Barca prepared to bring in a partner for Messi?

Barca are close to bringing in Messi’s partner Lautaro Martinez in the summer with a viable proposal to Inter Milan.

Lautaro Martinez is getting closer to becoming a Barca player. He was the number one goal for the attack and therefore the Catalan club put all its efforts into negotiations with Inter.

The negotiations progressed to the point where there was a principle agreement between the two clubs. Accordingly, Martinez will come to Barca in exchange for 60 million euros and Inter receives 2 more players from the Nou Camp.

Barca chuẩn bị đem về đối tác cho Messi với đề nghị như thế nào?

The 22-year-old Argentine striker wants to go to Barca and has informed Inter’s leadership that his priority is to go to Spain.

The 22-year-old’s contract with Inter has a special provision: During the first 15 days of July, he was allowed to move to another club for a fee of 111 million euros.

That amount is quite reasonable for a big man in Europe, consistent with the quality and age of the player, but the COVID-19 pandemic caused all teams to adjust their shopping plans.

Barca is not willing to pay such money in the current situation when revenues from ticket sales, marketing, advertising, sponsorship… are still in danger of being seriously affected.

In this new context, Barca and Inter have negotiated for Martinez for a lower fee of 60 million instead of the original 90 million euros.

Specifically, Barca will pay Inter 60 million euros in cash and the rest is paid by two players in the squad of coach Quique Setien.

Neither Barça nor Inter specify the names of the players, but there are names that are suitable for both sides. For example, Ivan Rakitic or Samuel Umtiti are examples of when they were both on the transfer market. The same thing happened to Arturo Vidal when Barca believed he was a good fit for Inter.

But in addition to these names there are some younger players like Carles Alena – currently on loan at Betis – or Semedo, who spent the third season at Barca.
