Real Madrid has made 6 transfers so far this summer. Photo: Getty Images Hazard or Jovic stars, overshadowed by the cheapest transfer from Real Madrid. He is 18 years old and cost two million euros Eden Hazard is the hottest summer transfer from Real Madrid and maybe from Europe, but he has not impressed with anything so far in friendly matches. Neither Luka Jovic nor the other Madrid stars have "broken the mouth of the fair", but what really stood out is precisely Takefusa Kubo . The little Japanese 18-year - old was introduced in 4 of the 5 games and gathered just over 100 minutes. However, the midfielder impressed everyone with speed, technique and very good passes. Kubo debuted at Real in the 46th minute of the first friendly, with Bayern (1-3), then entered the 62nd minute of the game with Atletico Madrid (3-7), in the 80th minute of the match with Tottenham (0-1) and in the 73rd minute of the last friendly, the one with Fenerbahce (5-3), where he impressed the most. Who is Takefusa Kubo, the new transfer from Real Madrid The little Japanese also went to the great rival, Barcelona , where he arrived at the La Masia academy at the age of 9 and was immediately nicknamed "Japanese Messi" . After 3 seasons at Barca, he returned to Japan, as a result of the sanction received by Catalans to transfer more juniors. Barcelona wanted him back after turning 18, a few days ago, on June 4, but Kubo refused and chose Real, who offered him a 5-year contract. He had already agreed to go to Santiago Bernabeu before Barca contacted him again. The talented midfielder is a very fast and technical player and usually plays as a playmaker, but he can also evolve in the right lane and already has a selection at the first Japanese representative. Real Madrid transfers this summer: Takefusa Kubo (18 years old, midfielder) - from FC Tokyo to Real Madrid for 2 million euros. He signed for 6 years. Ferland Mendy (24 years, left defender) - from Lyon to Real Madrid for 50 million euros. He signed for 6 years. Eden Hazard (28 years old, offensive midfielder) - from Chelse and Real Madrid, for 100 million euros. He signed for 5 seasons. Luka Jovic (21 years old, striker) - from Eintracht Frankfurt to Real Madrid, for 60 million euros + variable Eder Militao (21 years old, central defender) - from Porto to Real Madrid, for 50 million euros Rodrygo (18 years, far left) - from Santos to Real Madrid, for 45 million euros Continue on https://m.digisport.ro/fotbal/la-liga/starurile-hazard-sau-jovic-eclipsate-de-cel-mai-ieftin-transfer-de-la-real-madrid-are-18-ani-si-a-costat-doua-milioane-de-euro-699913

CAROLINA CELEBRATES MOM’S BIRTHDAY WITH TWO WINS AT VIENNA MAJOR PHOTO Carolina Salgado (right) gets a hug from Brazilian partner Maria Antonelli as the pair advanced to the A1 Major Vienna semifinals with two wins Friday. Vienna, Austria, August 2, 2019 - It’s easy to see the importance of reaching the semifinals of the A1 Major Vienna presented by Swatch means to the competitors. Carolina Salgado woke up here Friday morning and promptly told teammate Maria Elisa Antonelli: “Remember, I have to keep strong for my mother’s birthday.” Two victories later, Carolina and Maria were celebrating their run to the semifinals, where they will join two other Brazilian teams plus Canada. After they defeated Kelley Larsen and Emily Stockman of the United States to reach the final four, Carolina had to be nudged into remembering something else about the day. “Yes, it’s my mom’s birthday! Thank you, God, for reminding me,” an exuberant Carolina said. “After the first game I was so happy I sent ‘Mom, we won!’ And just now I remembered. I was so focused on the tournament and it means so much to me.” Isabel Salgado and Carolina are the only mother-daughter tandem to win gold medals on the FIVB World Tour, so perhaps mom will have some understanding. For the 47th time in 413 FIVB women’s events, three Brazilian teams are in the semifinals of a World Tour tournament. Carolina and Maria Antonelli will face new mom Talita Antunes and Taiana Lima, while Agatha Bednarczuk and Eduarda “Duda” Lisboa will take on reigning world champions Sarah Pavan and Melissa Humana-Paredes of Canada. PHOTO Eduarda "Duda" Lisboa (left) and Agatha Bednarczuk of Brazil In another milestone, the victory pushed Antonelli’s career earnings over the $1 million mark, though that was another fact she may not have been aware of. “I’m very happy, I love to play here,” Antonelli said. “It is a good atmosphere; we are playing very well this tournament and for sure it will be a very good game. I’d like to study them again, I played with Talita, I played against her a lot of times and Taiana too. It’s always difficult because we know a lot about each other. Let’s rest and think about tomorrow.” All four teams had to win twice on Friday. Three are undefeated in Vienna and two of them had to win twice in qualifying just to reach the main draw. Talita, who is travelling with 1-year-old son Renatinho, has a made a remarkable to return to form with Taiana. A qualifier along with Carol and Maria Antonelli, they have won six consecutive matches and dropped only two sets along the way. “Returning wasn’t easy and I knew it would be this way,” Talita said. “Everything seems very different to me now, but we were very patient with the process. We felt we were getting better at each tournament and that in the last ones we lost to some great teams due to very little details. I think that now we turned that corner and really figured out how to handle these key moments.” It will be the sixth time the teams have met since Talita returned and Talita and Taiana have won four of the meetings, including twice each on the World Tour and the Brazilian national tour. In a matchup of world champions - Agatha won in 2015 with Barbara Seixas - it will be the eighth time the Brazilians have matched up with the Canadians. Agatha and Duda have won five of the meetings, including the Warsaw Open event in June. Both Agatha and Duda and Pavan and Humana-Parades are seeking their third gold medal of the year. While three Brazilian teams in the final four is not uncommon, there may be a different reason this year rather than mere talent. As teams try to scoop up points in the qualification process for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, the Brazil federation has chosen to select its two allotted teams (provided they qualify) in February. The rest of the world has until June. “Crazy, no?” Agatha said. “We have good teams from Brazil so it’s not that difficult to happen, but we have our own ranking and our Olympic ranking will finish in February, so the teams need to have good results because we are finishing.

Titans Linebacker Derrick Morgan Retires From NFL And Launches $200 Million Opportunity Zone Fund Kurt BadenhausenForbes Staff SportsMoney I cover sports business with rare dips into b-schools, local economies Indianapolis Colts v Tennessee Titans Derrick Morgan is ready for his next act.FREDERICK BREEDON/GETTY IMAGES Tennessee Titans linebacker Derrick Morgan is announcing his retirement today after a nine-year NFL career. Morgan, the 2009 ACC defensive player of the year while at Georgia Tech before entering the 2010 NFL Draft and being selected 16th overall by the Titans, racked up 44.5 sacks during his pro career and was a free agent this spring after completing a four-year, $27 million contract. “I’m at a time where, physically and mentally, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to continue,” Morgan told Forbes last week. “I feel at peace with the decision. I feel free in a sense to be able to wake up and put my mind and my energy towards things that are more purposeful to me at this time in my life.” Morgan, who turned 30 in January, is already putting his mind and energy toward his next act as a real estate investor. He recently set up an Opportunity Zone fund to invest in marginalized communities. Opportunity Zone funds are sweeping the country, with celebrities like NBA forward Luol Deng and recently killed rapper Nipsey Hussle early investors.

Sancho shines in a double role: BVB wins Supercup Borussia Dortmund won the Supercup, the first title of the 2019/20 season. The BVB defeated in front of its own backdrop and in front of over 80,000 spectators in sold-out Signal Iduna Park Bayern 2: 0. Despite numerous top chances in the first round fell the Dortmund hits only after the break. Youngster Sancho first shone as a preparer, later as an executor. And even with an ugly action in the final quarter hour, the Englishman was in the center. PHOTO Great pleasure: Captain Marco Reus holds the Supercup in the air. Imago Images Two weeks before the start of the Bundesliga, BVB coach Lucien Favre had to do without goalkeeper Bürki (tear in the tibia) and the newcomers Hummels (muscular problems), Brandt (adductors) and Hazard (ankle bruise). This stood for veteran Piszczek (since 2010 at BVB), access Schulz, storm tank Alcacer and footballer of the year Reus from the outset in the field. The deficit list of FC Bayern was also occupied prominently: national player Gnabry (muscular problems), Javi Martinez (knee problems) and newcomer Lucas Hernandez (build-up training to internal band surgery) had all not started the trip to Dortmund. But Niko Kovac was the well-known corset from New, Sule, Kimmich, Thiago, Müller, Lewandowski and Co. available. Continue on https://www.kicker.de/4574262/spielbericht
