#JuveUCL #ForzaJuve

 🎙 @chiellini: "We are coming from a good period, Saturday's match doesn't hurt us. We are fighting for all of our goals and now another big goal begins. We're going into it with enthusiasm, albeit aware of the obstacles."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @chiellini: "@FCPorto defend very well, they are a physical team and we will have to be good at breaking them down and avoiding their counter-attacks that can be devastating."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @chiellini: "We are all four centre-backs of a high level. The choices come down to the coach and for our part we know that we must always be ready, accepting every choice. The team wins, we alternate, and there is a great feeling among us."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @chiellini: "The emotional aspect will also be important, but we experienced something similar in the #CoppaItalia. In the #UCL there are more pitfalls because the opponents are less known to us, we will have to be good at not making the mistakes of the last two seasons."
🎙 @chiellini: "Knowledge in training as well as in the match allows you to improve the awareness with all your teammates. @Cristiano is an added value and we are fortunate to have his experience daily."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @chiellini: "Since we drew @FCPorto I started studying their forwards. They are dangerous both in the spaces and on crosses, but they also have excellent players out wide. We will have to be ready and not allow spaces."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "They are a compact team, very good at defending and narrowing on two banks of four. It will take patience in not forcing the play and not allowing counters."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "The #UCL it is a particular competition, different from the league. There are so many teams fighting to win, everyone wants to do it, and it really depends on which moment you're in when you face the teams. It's important to be mentally ready."

#FCPJuve
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "We began the season to achieve all the objectives. We are at the halfway point and competing on all fronts, this is the most important thing. We had a good match on Saturday, only the result was missing so we are not worried."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "@FCPorto are different to us. In the league they are more offensive, whilst in Europe they are more cautious. We try to play in another way, but sometimes we also have to defend."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "@aaronramsey is available, @PauDybala_JR is not ready and @bonucci_leo19 is out. However, they will still travel with us because they all want to be close to the team."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "In the offensive phase we can do better by creating more to finish more chances. We've missed @PauDybala_JR's goals a bit and we haven't had him available often, we hope he can find continuity and will be like a new signing."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "@Cristiano is coming back to his country and will want to score as always, especially in this type of match."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "@AlvaroMorata has played a lot. He came back from a muscle problem, then he had the flu so in the last period he was never 100%. He's happy, he's fine, he just needs to score like all forwards. We believe in him."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: Both @AlvaroMorata and Kulusevski are fine. Tomorrow, after the finishing touches we will evaluate who to play from the beginning. Both have done well lately."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "I faced @CoachConceicao many times as a player. He had great technique and remained in the hearts of the Portuguese. He is also doing very well as a coach with @FCPorto."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "We will have to play a careful game and we will have to be calm by not allowing them to capitalise on our mistakes."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙🔚 That's all from @Pirlo_official's & @chiellini's #FCPJuve presser.

⭐️🔜 More #JuveUCL build-up to follow!

#lfc anticipate that the Anfield Road stadium development will take 22-23 months to complete and to open in time for the start of the football season. So with work expected to commence next summer/autumn - approval pending - it will be open for the start of the 2023-24 season.

Of the (up to) 7,000 additional seats, (up to) 1,800 will be premium.

The proposal would see #lfc's overall "official" capacity increase to 61,015, split by:

Main Stand - 20,676
Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand - 11,348
The Kop - 13,024
Anfield Road Stand - 15,967

The proposal includes a covered fan zone within the expanded stand itself. #lfc

Ahead of Boca-River tonight, a LONG READ thread on River Plate's 2010/11 season: How did a massive club and institution like Club Atlético River Plate get relegated from Argentina's top tier in June 2011?

🇦🇷 #longread (3,000 words)

This thread is based on the fantastic When We Were Kings podcast with the blessing of its creators @ErikNiva & @andreassonhakan. Because the podcast is in Swedish, I wanted to translate the story and share it in English.

Disclaimer: this is NOT a dig at River Plate. My book's title/front cover overwhelmingly suggest that it's exclusively about Boca Juniors - that's not the case. I'm 100% neutral when it comes to Argentinian fútbol. This thread is not written to antagonise River fans!

June 2008. River Plate win the Clausura 2007/08 title (a 19-game half season) with Diego Cholo Simeone as manager. It's their 35th league title! River's attacking players: Radamel Falcao, Alexis Sánchez, Ariel Ortega, Sebastián Abreu, Diego Buonanotte, amongst others.


10/08/2008: The story of River Plate’s relegation in June 2011 starts on 10th August 2008! River Plate draw 1-1 away to Colón de Santa Fe on the opening day of the Apertura 2008/09 - it would be a bad campaign:
P19: W2/D8/L9. Cholo Simeone resigns after 1 win in first 14 games

Analyzing Manchester United’s stalemate draw over Liverpool in the Premier League through data and tactical analysis: a thread.


MUFC’s plan was to bypass Liverpool’s high press through vertical *quick* passes and long balls to exploit their lack of senior CB’s but — execution was lacking.

An improvement in presence came came from progressing the ball wide but the final ball was still poor.


Taking a look at the flow of passes:

➾ Manchester United had a higher concentration of passes in their own half and posed little to no threat — but built out the back well under pressure.

➾ Improvement: they were able to exploit Liverpool wide through overlaps and cutbacks.


EXAMPLE: #MUFC build out the back in a series of quick forward passes.

This came from Martial dropping deep to carry — essential. Bruno’s trademark backwards flick that takes Fabinho out of the backline and Rashford’s blindside run here was excellent.

Poor final ball.


Let’s take a closer look at the lack of territorial dominance — issues:

(A) While #MUFC were able to improve their suppression — the right flank was very poor with Pogba tucking into the half-spaces.

(B) #MUFC had poor central penetration — more difficult to score.

A story of a brave woman who let her "breast" cut to protect the life of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose!

Neera Arya was born on March 5 1902 in Khekra Nagar, Uttar Pradesh in a distinguished & eminent businessman Seth Chhajumal's family. Since her childhood,

She was a true nationalist & always had a vision of becoming a part of the freedom fighter movement. She was also reportedly accused as an undercover by the British Govt.

That was the time when her father's business was flourishing in Calcutta, though his business was..

3/21
spread across the country but Calcutta was the center of his business and that was one of the reasons why her education was done in Calcutta. During that period of time, she had learned quite a few languages along with Bengali, Hindi, English.

4/21
Her father got her married to a CID Inspector "Shrikant Jairanjan Das" in British India but they were two different individuals, Neera Arya was a true nationalist but her husband was a true British servant. She was highly motivated & she had an urge of getting us freedom..

5/21
so she ended up joining the Jhansi Regiment in Azad Hind Fauz after the marriage. It was the regiment that the British always accused them of spying on British Govt.

It was the time when Neera's husband Jairanjan Das was given the responsibility to spy on Netaji Subhash..

Today I want to prove that Mr Pool smile faces mean XRP and price increase. In Ripple_Crippler, previous to Mr Pool existence, smile faces were frequent. They were very similar to the ones Mr Pool posts. The eyes also were usually a couple of "x", in fact, XRP logo. 3/*

Light travels at about 1 foot per nanosecond.

Hold your hand up 12 inches from your face: you’re seeing your hand as it was a nanosecond ago. Everything you look at is, to one degree or another, in the past. The farther away in space, the more ancient in time.

You can’t see the Sun as it is now, but you can see it as it was about 8 minutes ago. You can’t see Alpha Centauri now, but you can see it 4.4 years ago. You can see the Andromeda Galaxy as it was 2.5 million years in the past. And so on.

With powerful telescopes, we can see galaxies whose light has been traveling to us for more than 13 billion years. We see them shining in a universe that’s still young, where gravity has just begun to pull matter together into stars and galaxies.

We can see something even more distant, and more ancient, than the first galaxies. If we peer out far enough, in between the galaxies, we can see parts of the Universe that are so far away, it has taken the light from that distance almost the entire age of the cosmos to reach us.

👨‍💻 Last resume I sent to a startup one year ago, sharing with you to get ideas:

- Forget what you don't have, make your strength bold
- Pick one work experience and explain what you did in detail w/ bullet points
- Write it towards the role you apply
- Give social proof

/thread


"But I got no work experience..."

Make a open source lib, make a small side project for yourself, do freelance work, ask friends to work with them, no friends? Find friends on Github, and Twitter.

Bonus points:

- Show you care about the company: I used the company's brand font and gradient for in the resume for my name and "Thank You" note.
- Don't list 15 things and libraries you worked with, pick the most related ones to the role you're applying.
-🙅‍♂️"copy cover letter"

"I got no firends, no work"

One practical way is to reach out to conferences and offer to make their website for free. But make sure to do it good. You'll get:

- a project for portfolio
- new friends
- work experience
- learnt new stuff
- new thing for Twitter bio

If you don't even have the skills yet, why not try your chance for @LambdaSchool? No? @freeCodeCamp. Still not? Pick something from here and learn https://t.co/7NPS1zbLTi
You'll feel very overwhelmed, no escape, just acknowledge it and keep pushing.
