Great money loss

Up to 30 June the financial net loss for this year at Juventus was 209.9 million euros. Because the 2020-21 season was played completely on empty stadia (not having an income flow from selling tickets, television broadcasts, transfers...), this sharp decline has reached a record high at the club. With this black scenario, six days ago the Italian team has also announced a "significant loss" is expected for the current season (2021-22), but some economic hope of improvement may come in 2022-23 (next football year). From 414.1 the operating costs went up to 449.3 million euros, while the debt has also increased (compared to last year): out of 385.2 million now is 389.2 million euros. Overall revenue has fall down to 19 percent up until the mentioned date from the beginning of the text.

The reason is more than obvious of why this happened. But blaming it mostly on the epidemic issue, the club also wanted to earn / boost its financial status on the abandoned, closed and stubborn idea whose everyone was against it saying that "it is not certain to predict with certainty the outcome and future development of the Super league project, of the legitimacy of which Juventus remains confident".

We know that in June two rounds were cancelled from the South American qualifying matches of the World Cup.

Losing a main sponsor

According to Spanish media, one of the biggest online retailing company will not resume its contract with Barcelona. The deal with Rakuten was first signed in October 2016 (for four seasons) to successfully promote on their shirts where in return the club was paid 55 million euros each year (beginning from 2017-18). Because the agreement contained a clause of extension to one more year, at October 2020 this sum was cut by 25 million with the explanation reason out of the appearance of the epidemic, thus the team received 30 million euros (starting of 2021 season).

Need to pay hefty damage

Once again it is proved that mistreating women is a crime that does not pay and can go to prison.

Couple of stories from a finished elimination event

From last week on five confederations were played plenty of qualifying games for the World Cup tournament next year, and within those dates happened two news: one good, while the other was bad.

Beginning with the historic achievement of Lionel Messi who helped Argentina to record three new points against Bolivia yesterday night. Giving three targets in this game, the 34-year-old magician became the best goal scorer on the South American continent with 79, surpassing the even greatest Edson Arantes do Nascimento (better known as Pele) from Brazil who in his time 77 times rolled the ball behind goalkeepers. However, the world record holds Cristiano Ronaldo from Portugal which gave 111 goals. As the upper numbers are presented at total in international plays, with 26 targets the Argentinian striker is also the leader for the elimination matches from World Cups. In second place is the Uruguayan Luis Suarez who achieved 25 times to get the ball behind the goal-line.

Literally at the start of these qualifiers Ruslan Valiullin saved his team from loosing against Ukraine at stoppage time. The story behind here is that the Kazakhstan midfielder was played positive on forbidden drugs. Controversial duel was at the Conference league between Zilina and Tobol played on 12 August, where the visiting midfielder had a positive sample. At the association these results came on 02 September or just 24 hours after the World Cup elimination game. Under the rules of the European football association, one case is not enough for Kazakhstan to forfeit the match with 0:3.

Problems with last tournament of 2021

At the end of each year we know that the winners of the six confederations (from the Champions league) are sending their clubs (to warmer parts of the globe) only for spectators to find out on which continent is playing the best football. Because of the ongoing epidemic situation the Club World Cup from 2020 was moved to 2021, thus there is a chance that the competition will be held onto December (like it used to be), or even again be shifted at 2022 (which is unfavorable time to play due to other events staging from this sport).

However, which country is going to host the final club tournament is difficult to say because Japan officially (according to local media at 08 September) has withdraw to welcome the sextet on its soil, so the world football organization has only confirmed this news yesterday. For this year the country has hoped to organize the event who is also having one special meaning: Japanese football association is celebrates 100 years of its existence. They were born (formed) in 1921, and one centennial (well 98 years to be exact) later one disease came which (still) causes an absolute mess in the world.

Commencing of the last competition of 2021 has formally three months left to start so by now is known that the clubs will travel to a new and unknown destination.
