  • Usai Ditinggal Messi, Barca Daftarkan Pemain Barunya Di Laliga
    Usai Ditinggal Messi, Barca Daftarkan Pemain barunya di Laliga Realitarakyat.com – Usai ditinggal Lionel Messi, kini Barcelona resmi dan telah mengkonfirmasi pendaftaran Memphis Depay, Eric Garcia dan Rey Manaj untuk musim baru, setelah bek veteran Gerard Pique menyetujui mengurangi gajinya agar klub Katalunya mendaftarkan pemain-pemain baru. Blaugrana sedang berusaha untuk menyeimbangkan neraca keuangan mereka agar bisa menyesuaikan dengan aturan finansial liga Spanyol musim panas ini. Aturan tersebut juga menjadi penyebab utama Barcelona gagal mempertahankan Lionel Messi karena pengeluaran gaji klub Katalunya tersebut melewati batas yang ditetapkan oleh liga Spanyol. Keterbatasan itu juga membuat mereka tidak dapat mendaftarkan beberapa rekrutan baru mereka menjelang musim 2021-22, tetapi mereka akhirnya bisa mengonfirmasi setidaknya tiga dari pemain baru sekarang sudah terdaftar untuk bermain. “Barcelona dapat mendaftarkan Memphis, Eric Garcia dan Rey Manaj untuk bermain di Liga Spanyol,” klub Katalunya tersebut dalam sebuah pernyataan di situs resmi mereka yang dikutip Reuters pada Sabtu. “Ini bisa dilakukan karena pengurangan gaji secara substansial dari kapten kedua, Gerard Pique.” “Ini berarti bahwa semua pemain tim utama akan tersedia untuk dimainkan oleh (pelatih) Ronald Koeman untuk pertandingan pembukaan liga pada Minggu melawan Real Sociedad.” Selain Messi, Blaugrana telah melepas Jean-Clair Todibo, Junior Firpo dan Trincao di bursa transfer musim panas ini. Namun, Barcelona harus melakukan pemotongan gaji lebih lanjut untuk mendaftarkan Sergio Aguero. Pihak klub saat ini sedang berbicara dengan pemain senior lainnya seperti Sergio Busquets dan Jordi Alba untuk memangkas gaji mereka. “Klub juga terus bekerja dengan dua kapten lainnya, Sergio Busquets dan Jordi Alba, untuk menyesuaikan gaji mereka dengan situasi klub saat ini,” tambah mereka.

The stars of the future will be on show at the four world- class venues in Changzhou, Jiangyin, Changshu and Kunshan as the AFC delivers on its promise to provide outstanding competitions for the talent of Asia. The AFC is most grateful to the Chinese Football Association, the four host cities and the Local Organising Committees for their hard work in ensuring that this event is a worthy successor to the tournament held two years ago in Qatar.

Congratulations to all Member Associations who have teams here at the AFC U23 Championship and also to those who staged the qualifying tournaments. Your commitment to the AFC competitions is much appreciated. Also, a word of thanks to our match officials. Asia has some of the best refereeing teams in the world and just like the players you will see some of the best young referees from across the Continent in this event. We wish everyone the best of luck and hope that the spectators, both in the stadium and watching on television or engaging through social media, enjoy a glimpse of the future talent of Asia.

Now FIFA, in its infinite wisdom, has ordained that video assistant referee technology (VAR) will be used at this summer’s World Cup finals in Russia, further stultifying a game that’s desperately in need of more pace. FIFA president Gianni Infantino sugar­coated last week’s announce­ ment in Zurich, saying all the right things about building “a more transparent and fairer sport” and giving the living, breathing game officials “much­ needed help” — but it was a hollow endorsement. The landmark decision to use VAR Murray at the World Cup Greig came two weeks aft­ er FIFA’s rules panel voted to write video technology into the laws of soccer, and Infanti­ no has pledged improved commu­ nication with officials and fans to make the system work.

    226 SUMMARY OF ACTIVITY 2019/20 AND OBJECTIVES 2020/21 227 SUMMARY OF ACTIVITY SUMMARY OF ACTIVITY 2019/20 Outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic • The 2019/20 season will be marked by the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has unfortunately affected and continues to affect millions of people around the world. As for the impact on our club, the pandemic led to the implementation of the state of alarm on 14 March 2020, which consequently led to the stoppage of all professional sports competitions, as well as the total closure of the Club's facilities. During the month of June 2020, the Club was able to partially reopen its facilities, complying with all the established protection and hygiene measures; and on 11 June 2020, the La Liga competition recommenced. • However, the Club has suffered financially from the consequences of these measures, as the matches being resumed had to be played behind closed doors, while the influx of visitors to the facilities, as well as the sale of Club products, have also been affected by the reduc- tion and limitations on international tourism. Additionally, the Euroleague Basketball competition has been cancelled, and this has also generated an associated loss of revenue for this reason. • It is with this in mind that we include below in the Club’s management report an estimate of the main financial impacts that the global 228 Covid-19 pandemic has had on the Club (in thousands of euros) and which has been sent to the Spanish National Sports Council (Consejo Superior de Deportes, CSD): Figures as at Estimated

    © ProFootballD. Este informe, del 18 de septiembre, se actualizó el 22 de septiembre de 2020 Es modesto. Es fútbol de barro. El más auténtico. El que no vive en el circo mediático y que suele tener más foco cuando se producen episodios deleznables. Sin sueldos millonarios, con 'currantes' seudoanónimos y pluriempleados. Y está a punto de vivir una súbita transformación. El coronavirus asestó una puñalada a unos clubes de frágil economía y leves apoyos que originó la paralización de descensos. La consecuencia es que en la temporada 21-22 habrá una nueva categoría y otras se verán remozadas. Así que la que arranca el 18 de octubre será una campaña bisagra, con difícil encaje y complejo formato que tratamos de desgranar en este informe. 499 equipos afrontarán un año crucial, el que dirá adiós a Segunda B y Tercera División y modelará la transición hacia la nueva división, la en un principio bautizada como Segunda B Pro y ahora renombrada a Primera División RFEF. Primera División (Liga Santander), Segunda División (Liga SmartBank), Primera RFEF, Segunda RFEF y Tercera RFEF, así quedará la jerarquía con las nuevas nomenclaturas. Será la historia quien vaya diciendo si el cambio será para mejor y nos irá dejando nuevas claves. A bote pronto, la nueva Primera RFEF se antoja como un desahogo ante tanto excedente de históricos en la categoría de plata, también como un punto de inflexión de ambición y economía para los clubes, pues de ahí para abajo quedará más acusado el contraste con las categorías inferiores. © ProFootballD. Este informe, del 18 de septiembre, se actualizó el 22 de septiembre de 2020 La campaña 20-21, por tanto, hará de 'pole position' para el nuevo mapa futbolístico no profesional.
