La ?Pulga has time against him, because he must find a team, one year before the World Cup and with almost all the payrolls of the international football moguls closed
Lionel messi talked with Sergio the ‘Kun’ Agüero to agree that this week they would meet at the Ciudad Deportiva del Barcelona. Everything changed in an instant, what seemed like a dream summer for the Albiceleste captain after winning the America Cup, ends in a shipwreck when not reaching a renewal agreement with the Catalan team.
Messi won the Copa América and broke the curse he had with the Albiceleste, finally added a championship with the representative of his country and the presence of Joan Laporta at Barcelona He predicted that the ?Flea? would shine once more with the Catalan team. He went on vacation and 81 days after his last game with Barca, they told him no longer.
Joan Laporta and Lionel Messi?s father, George, they presumed that they had an agreement since July 2021. ANDhe dream of winning the Copa América was the only thing that prolonged the contract renewal and, once it was fulfilled, the meeting in Barcelona was expected.
Messi and ?Kun? spoke a day before the announcement of Barcelona. They would be seen in the sports facilities of the Barcelona and they would start a new stage together, seeking to regain the league title and fight for the leading role in the Champions League. The problem is that the financial control of the Spanish League caused a change of plans.
The salary of Messi, regardless of whether the Argentine had accepted a discount, makes it impossible for the Barcelona to hire the current champion of the America Cup.Joan Laporta He knocked on all possible doors, but the lawyers for the Catalan team showed him that it was impossible.
In a summer Lionel messi fulfilled the dream of winning the America Cup with Argentina and lost the one he has declared as the love of his life, Barcelona. He has time against him, because he must find a team, one year before the World Cup and with almost all the payrolls of the international football magnates closed, a blow for everyone, for Barca, for the ?Flea?, for football.

The Olympic winner Krpálek talked about a problem with his ears at a football show
O2 TV Sport
Many may not even know what a two-time Olympic gold medalist has to deal with. Fans will remember Luká? Krpálek as a shapely guy who has a stubborn expression during the match, but a smile shines on his face after the winning duel. But when you look at the ears of a successful representative, you can see that judo probably hurts a lot.
“You get a little punch in that ear and it starts to curl. Since I’ve been back from the Olympics, I’ve been pulled out twice, it’s poured with blood,” Krpálek said in a bit of a horror trouble. “When I have it poured in, I hear it so badly. So if by chance, repeat it,” the judoka smiled at moderator Petr Sv?cený.

But in his troubles he does not look for an exaggerated sensation. “Of course it hurts,” he admitted bluntly. But he had struggled with a similar problem in the past when he was in Japan for the first time. when I restored the right ear and now I suffer a bit again, “said Krpálek and the camera occupied his right ear, which was visibly far from ideal.

In combat sports, however, it is said that this sometimes happens. “In our country, in MMA, in rugby, if we go into it a little bit, it will happen,” Krpálek shrugged and told the fans how he was doing with football. “Sometimes I play it. “football a little different. We play it in the gym, so we bump into each other and the guardrails. Sometimes we even throw in there, we have our rules. However, the second-league Jihlava, where he was born, enjoys a special favor with him.

According to “L’Equipe”, the six-time world footballer will have to do a medical check on Tuesday evening and then sign a two-year contract with the option of another season at PSG. A press conference in Paris is planned for Wednesday. A fixed salary of 35 million euros was recently rumored to be the annual salary. There is also a bonus for the signature. In front of Messi’s house and the airport in Barcelona, ??media representatives and fans waited to catch a glimpse of the Argentine.
After the French fans waited in vain for Messi in front of Le Bourget Airport in Paris on Sunday and Monday, the relieving news came on Tuesday. ?The longest hours,? wrote ?L’Equipe? on Tuesday morning. There was of course no schedule until then, for which also: Messi is on a free transfer and he will need a few days anyway after a long vacation to get into the rhythm.
For days, fans have been romping in front of the Prinzenpark Stadium in anticipation of the next superstar
Farewell to the heart club
Messi had to leave FC Barcelona after just 21 years and 35 titles because the rules of financial fair play in Spain had made it impossible for the now 34-year-old Argentine to sign a new contract with the highly indebted club. PSG is a possibility, Messi had confirmed at a press conference on the farewell to his club on Sunday.
In the end, however, ?Waiting for Messi? did not become the absurd theater of the world-famous ?Waiting for Godot?. Spain’s ?Marca? wanted to know beforehand which number Messi was being offered by PSG after he himself reportedly turned down the number 10 – his number in the Argentine national team and at FC Barcelona – from Neymar.
According to the Sportblatt, it should now be 30. She still has – at least that’s what the PSG website says – Alexandre Letellier, one of the substitute keepers behind the newcomer and European champion Gianluigi Donnarumma, who got the number 50.
Significantly less income
Messi, it was also reported, did not want to arrive until everything was settled. His salary is said to be well below that at FC Barcelona, ??which supposedly does not mean that he should not become the top earner at PSG. Even a waiver of half the salary at Barcelona could not prevent the end.
PSG, despite its multitude of superstars from Donnarumma to Sergio Ramos, Marco Verratti to Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, will once again move up to a different league with Messi in terms of perception. According to a report by “L’Equipe”, PSG has seen an enormous increase in followers on social networks in the past few days alone since the end of the Messi era was announced in Barcelona. The newspaper “Le Monde” quoted an expert: “Lionel Messi is a global brand par excellence.”

The Ferrari team principal makes an initial assessment of the season and is unbalanced on future objectives: “We will fight for the title in 2022”. Promoted the Leclerc-Sainz duo, “the best in Formula 1”. Hamilton or Verstappen? “I’d bet on Lewis, but I’m rooting for Max”
Between past mistakes and future goals, the Ferrari team principal, Mattia Binotto, takes stock of this championship in view of the second part of the season, ensuring that the Red will be ready to fight for the title in the next. He does so in an interview with the ?Gazzetta dello Sport?, giving the votes and also making some parallels with the companies we witnessed at the Olympics.

We did a good job, collecting more than double the points after 11 races ?.
The duo of drivers, Leclerc and Sainz, which he considers “the best in F1”, have been promoted with flying colors. “They are talented, fast and young, a guarantee for the future. We know Charles, he grew up in our nursery, we have no doubts about his abilities. He is growing in the vision of racing and in tire management. Carlos did not surprise me.

I’ve been lucky enough to work with great leaders like Todt and Brawn. Compared to the first year as team principal, I have delegated a lot from a technical point of view and I have more time for drivers, politics and relations with Fia and F1.

The encore at the Red Bull Ring must push MotoGP to question two burning issues. And in the meantime the pilots begin to expose themselves …
The late Fausto Gresini knew very well who Jorge Martin was, in Styria from pole to glory, winner of the Red Bull Ring on Ducati. Thus, after the terrible crash of last April 17 in Portimao practice that kept him out of the GPs of Portugal, Spain, France and Italy, Martin stands out as the predestined of MotoGP.
The Motogp between retirements and troubles
?
The Styrian GP goes down in history with the announcement of the farewell to racing at the end of the season given in a press conference by Valentino Rossi on Thursday but, on the technical and competitive level, it reopens two hot, indeed hot, themes: that of tires and that of safety. The tires undoubtedly once again conditioned the race which, in turn, with the Pedrosa-Savadori accident on the second lap, put the Austrian Spielberg track on the dock, iceberg of the never-resolved knot of the dangerousness of the circuits even after the many steps forward made in recent years. The rubber issue remains the MotoGP ?puzzle?: tires that are as performing as they are unpredictable, capable of transforming an announced victory into a debacle, moreover without knowing why. These tires make MotoGP fly but can also upset it, due to the alternation of performance that often changes no one knows how and no one knows why. Yes, why does this happen, sending riders and teams into a tailspin and leaving many people with the doubt that in the end this does not happen “by chance”? It is difficult to deny the evidence and continue to say that the problem does not exist, worse still to say that the riders, complaining about the rubber, are only looking for excuses. Is it just a technical question or is there a precise strategic design that entrusts the rubber with the task of making the race ?unpredictable?, therefore more appealing to the media, with the alternation of the basic show-business winners? Is the question the rubber or the “single tire”?
Decisive tires

Here a question arises that lies at the basis of this Dorna-branded MotoGP, a knot that, given this reality and this general approach to the world championship, cannot be resolved. This is what Dorna wants and this is the MotoGP, for better or for worse. On Sunday in Styria the double start, caused – in fact – by the red flag after the dramatic accident on the second lap, changed the balance of power on the field because at the second start some riders (including Quartararo himself who however “resisted” great and also Marquez, Bagnaia, Oliveira, Marini and others) found themselves without any grip at the rear and therefore forced to increase their lap times, abandoning all ambitions. At the end of the race, with the exception of Martin (who had had the same rear tire grip problem in Race 1!), There was no rider who, with different nuances, did not swear “with his mouth closed” against the “rubber” that in the arc in a few minutes, from the first to the second start, in the same atmospheric and asphalt temperature conditions, he had upset the handling of the bike, changing its performance negatively. That is, what has already happened so many times is repeated: there is no constant tire performance also because a tire apparently equal to another (and defined as “equal” also technically) gives a very different performance on the track, sending in the desperation pilot and team.
motogp riders vs tires
?
It turns out the hot water is saying that there are no loud “no-rubber” stances and in no press conference, especially by the pilots “forced” to swallow the toad for obvious reasons, not least to fear to then suffer the consequences. Also because the driver who hooks himself to the tire to cover a poor performance is seen as badly, as much as he is not laughed at, accused of looking for the usual excuse. Someone, however, begins to say something more decisively and clearly: Says a disconsolate Bagnaia: ?I have lost a great opportunity. In the first three laps of race 1 I was lapping strong with the perfect bike. Then, after the restart, the rear tire of the same type (soft and new) did not work as in practice and in the first race. Everything was the same but the result was very different, in the negative. And I don’t know why ?. Bagnaia also has the support of Marquez who followed him: ?I was behind Bagnaia and I saw that he had no grip at all. He was only able to keep a certain pace thanks to the great Ducati engine ?. Marc himself was held back and ?screwed? by the same problem: ?In the first race, everything went perfectly, then, in the same conditions, goodbye grip. I was half a second slower than in practice and, compared to the first two laps of race one, I felt like I was riding in the wet ?. Luca Marini insists: ?In the first start everything was fine. Then, from the next reconnaissance lap, unusual problems of adhesion to the rear tire immediately emerged, which we had decided to replace during the prolonged stop. Fortunately I was not the only one to have these problems ?.
Strict security
?
And we come to safety. The Red Bull Ring is certainly not the Salzburgring, neither for technical-competitive quality, nor – fortunately – for danger. Yet the violent impact of Lorenzo Savadori with Dani Pedrosa’s Ktm, stopped on the way after the crash of the Spaniard, has re-posed the safety issue of this circuit but also of other MotoGP tracks. Needless to repeat the risk of racing, impossible to eliminate 100%. It is a fact that the technical-technological evolution of MotoGP (bike with power and speed never seen before) requires a continuous review and modification of the circuits because a track considered safe a decade earlier is no longer so today. Then? A balance point must always be sought between the technical-competitive quality of the circuit and safety and it must be said that, fortunately, the last accident (Salvadori with Pedrosa’s bike) was resolved with great fear even if the Italian rider did not he came out unscathed. In particular, at the Red Bull Ring under accusation there is the curve 3, dangerous also because it is narrow and where those who end up on the ground risk remaining on the track with their bike in trajectory and the probability of being hit by those who follow. If you can’t do better, you need a chicane, at least to slow down the corner entry speed. This could be the occasion – not to mention the latest fatal accidents in the Moto3 world championship at Mugello and in the Spanish Cev – to put a hand (again!) On this Austrian track but, above all, for a general check on the state of safety in all racetracks of the world championship. Better to be safe than to do the usual crocodile cry.

The encore at the Red Bull Ring must push MotoGP to question two burning issues. And in the meantime the pilots begin to expose themselves …
The late Fausto Gresini knew very well who Jorge Martin was, in Styria from pole to glory, winner of the Red Bull Ring on Ducati. Thus, after the terrible crash of last April 17 in Portimao practice that kept him out of the GPs of Portugal, Spain, France and Italy, Martin stands out as the predestined of MotoGP.
The Motogp between retirements and troubles
?
The Styrian GP goes down in history with the announcement of the farewell to racing at the end of the season given in a press conference by Valentino Rossi on Thursday but, on the technical and competitive level, it reopens two hot, indeed hot, themes: that of tires and that of safety. The tires undoubtedly once again conditioned the race which, in turn, with the Pedrosa-Savadori accident on the second lap, put the Austrian Spielberg track on the dock, iceberg of the never-resolved knot of the dangerousness of the circuits even after the many steps forward made in recent years. The rubber issue remains the MotoGP ?puzzle?: tires that are as performing as they are unpredictable, capable of transforming an announced victory into a debacle, moreover without knowing why. These tires make MotoGP fly but can also upset it, due to the alternation of performance that often changes no one knows how and no one knows why. Yes, why does this happen, sending riders and teams into a tailspin and leaving many people with the doubt that in the end this does not happen “by chance”? It is difficult to deny the evidence and continue to say that the problem does not exist, worse still to say that the riders, complaining about the rubber, are only looking for excuses. Is it just a technical question or is there a precise strategic design that entrusts the rubber with the task of making the race ?unpredictable?, therefore more appealing to the media, with the alternation of the basic show-business winners? Is the question the rubber or the “single tire”?

Andrew Tursky
When TaylorMade?s first-generation P790 irons hit retail in 2017, they helped introduce an entirely new category of ?Player?s Distance? irons to the market. The P790s were unique because although they looked like simple blade-style irons with clean back cavities, they were packed with hidden technologies that provided distance and forgiveness.
The 2017 P790 irons had thin faces, hollow-body constructions, and an innovative SpeedFoam material that sat between the face and body to help boost ball speed and feel. In 2019, TaylorMade updated the P790 designs to have even thinner faces, 20 percent larger sweet spots, and they used Progressive Inverted Cone Technology (PICT) to improve accuracy. To date, the P790 irons are one of the best-selling iron franchises in the company?s history, according to TaylorMade.
Now on its third-generation of P790 irons, which are set to hit retail on September 3, TaylorMade has made significant changes to one of the core technologies in the franchise.
Rather than using the original SpeedFoam material between the face and body of the irons, TaylorMade has developed a new ?SpeedFoam Air? urethane material that?s 69 percent less dense. The lighter weight design equates to an average of 3.5 grams saved in each iron head, according to the company.
Thanks to the weight savings from SpeedFoam Air, TaylorMade was able to lower CG (center of gravity) to improve launch, and the company is reporting that the new 2021 P790 iron heads have the thinnest faces in the franchise?s history.
Andrew Tursky and TaylorMade
The multi-material heads have 8620 carbon steel bodies and forged 4140 steel faces that measure 1.5mm in thickness. Also, the face structure itself was redesigned for this year after TaylorMade?s team charted the most common impact points from ?thousands and thousands? of golfers. According to the company, the sweet spot now better aligns with the center of the face and improves shots hit on the high-toe and low-heel.
While not the most compact heads in TaylorMade?s iron lineup, the P790 profiles are made to appeal to the eye of better players while still providing distance and forgiveness for a wide-range of players.
Andrew Tursky
?SpeedFoam Air is the heartbeat of the new P790 irons,? said Matt Bovee, head of product creation for irons at TaylorMade. ?The development of this lightweight urethane material allowed us to strategically reconstruct the iron head to promote optimal launch conditions and a sweet spot that covers the most common strike points on the face.?
The 2021 P790 irons, as with the previous generations, also use heavy Tungsten weighting (up to 31 grams per head) for greater forgiveness, and a Thru-Slot Speed Pocket in the lower portion of the heads to boost ball speeds and face flexion at impact.
As part of the new P790 iron release, TaylorMade has also developed new P790 UDI irons.
Like the standard iron set, the P790 UDI iron heads have 8620 carbon steel bodies, forged 4140 steel faces, hollow-body constructions that are filled with the new SpeedFoam Air material, Thru-Slot Speed Pockets for increased forgiveness, and they use the same adjusted sweet spot concept.
Overall, TaylorMade says the P790 UDI heads are designed to promote low spin and a penetrating trajectory.
The 2021 P790 irons (3-PW, AW) will sell for $185.71 per head with True Temper Dynamic Gold steel shafts ($1,299.99 for a 7-club set), or $214.28 with Mitsubishi MMT graphite shafts ($1,499.99 for a 7-club set), each equipped with Golf Pride Z-Grips. The P790 UDI, which is available in 17-degree heads for both righties and lefties, comes stock with a Project X HZRDUS Black Smoke shaft and will sell for $249.99.

Lionel messi said goodbye to Barcelona in an emotional press conference, which included tears. Then a video was released in which it was seen a cold greeting with the president of the club, Joan Laporta. The negotiation to join Paris Saint Germain continues to develop and there was even a player, Gianluigi Donnarumma, who spoke of his joy at the incorporation of the Flea. And there is already an agreement with the French club.
However, there was a surprising version at night. The site La Portería, of Beteve, announced a ?last proposal to Messi?. He made sure that there was a negotiation at dawn and that Ferran Reverter, CEO of the club, is the interlocutor. And in the early morning, Olé confirmed that move by the blame club, incredible, although it was informal and unofficial. And he does not run because there is no decision, beyond the desire to live in Barcelona, ??to back down after all the move and to have the 10 out.
Look also
Stage
Laporta, in his explanation to the media, had argued the salary limit imposed by LaLiga as a determinant of the Argentine?s departure. Even one of his data was that without Leo the club will continue to exceed the demands. So there is no way to sustain this possibility.
In fact, Laporta knew of the financial inconvenience to generate the renewal since he took office in March of this year. And it is hardly credible that after the Argentine?s departure he could find a solution that he did not notice in all this time, in which he had expressed his confidence in achieving the renewal of the link.
Therefore, this drowning slap, although it could be verified as real, had no possibility of working. And everything is on the way to PSG.
Look also
A fan with a Leo tattoo on the doorstep of the Argentine?s house in Barcelona.
It is understandable that with all Messi?s legacy, with 35 titles, there is resistance from fans to accept the exit even if it is already resolved.
Journalists and PSG fans wait for Messi at the Paris airport.

The oldest U.S. Golf Association championship is the U.S. Amateur.
The 121st edition is underway at two courses: Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, and Longue Vue Club in nearby Verona.
Oakmont Country Club was designed by Henry Fownes and first opened in 1903. It was the nation?s first golf course to be recognized as a National Historic Landmark. Longue Vue Club was designed by Scottish architect Robert White, who was the first president of the PGA of America. He also installed the putting green on the White House Lawn. Longue Vue opened for play in 1922. In 1935, A.W. Tillinghast oversaw renovations.
Check out some photos from the event.

Very moved, Lionel Messi said his farewell to Barça during a press conference on Sunday August 8. PAU BARRENA / AFP
After his farewell to FC Barcelona, ??Sunday August 8, the point of fall of Lionel Messi is now confirmed: it will be Paris-Saint-Germain, who succeeds a sensational blow. According to a source close to the case at World, the Argentine star and PSG have reached a definitive agreement. The player is expected Tuesday in the capital to undergo a medical examination and proceed with the official signing of his contract. A press conference is also due to be held on Wednesday at the Parc des Princes.
The supporters of the Parisian club were so far as feverish as their Barcelona counterparts were shot: Sunday evening, there were several dozen at Le Bourget airport to welcome the star, after unfounded rumors had reported his imminent arrival. Since the brutal announcement of the Argentine’s departure from his long-standing club on Thursday, the 34-year-old’s slightest movement was scrutinized.

PSG were in pole position to welcome him, the player himself had acknowledged on Sunday, in a press conference in Barcelona, ??that it was” a possibility “. But, before formalizing the signing of his contract in Paris, the player first had to undergo a medical examination.
Sunday, in the bowels of Camp Nou, where he wrote his legend, Messi, in tears, proclaimed his love for the club where he arrived at the age of 13. “I never imagined my farewells, because the truth is that I did not think of it”he said, revealing that he had offered to cut his salary in half so that he could stay. But Barça has given up on extending his contract, which expired last June, which posed too high a risk on his bloodless finances.

The opportunity was too good for PSG, whose wealthy Qatari owner (QSI) is in perpetual quest for superstars to develop his brand. The day after the announcement of Messi’s departure, Paris took up the language with the Argentinian clan. As confirmed at World a source familiar with the matter, a new meeting took place on Sunday between the leaders of PSG and the player’s entourage, in particular his father and agent, Jorge Messi.
According to The team, a three-year contract (one of which is optional) with a net salary of around 40 million euros per year has been offered to the Messi clan. The financial strength of QSI and the relaxation of UEFA’s financial fair play rules made possible an operation that no one imagined at the start of the summer.
Paris-Saint-Germain, who won in Troyes on Saturday in Ligue 1 (2-1), paved the way for this “big bang” capable of taking him to another dimension, both sporting and economic . With the six-time winner of the Golden Ball, alongside Neymar and Kylian Mbappé, he becomes the big favorite of the Champions League, the ultimate dream of QSI, who failed in the final in 2020, then in the semi-finals in last May.

The players in the French championship, interviewed during the weekend, were all delighted with the arrival of the superstar, good news in a situation weighed down by the pandemic and the crisis in TV rights. “It would be great for Ligue 1, he’s the best player in the world”, was enthusiastic Sunday the Argentine coach of OM, Jorge Sampaoli, who was the coach of Messi during the failed Argentina World Cup in 2018. ?French football has won a lot, grown a lot in recent seasons. It will be an additional motivation for us to play against him ?, he added.
A rare discordant note came from a group of Barcelona socios represented by Parisian lawyer Juan Branco. The latter announced on Monday their intention to lodge a complaint with the European Commission in connection with the rules of financial fair play that FC Barcelona and PSG must follow. The lawyer also intends to ask the French justice for the suspension of a possible transfer.
