Pele files $30m lawsuit against Samsung for using his image illegaly
Target of several advertising campaigns around the world, Pele displeased that the last he heard, printed in the American newspaper New York Times. The King of Football has filed a lawsuit against the electronic materials company Samsung for using a look-alike in an advertisement.
The ad in question talks about a TV with picture in 4k (high resolution), in which as page background image is the face of a black, which according to arguments of the defense of former player, "is very similar to Pele." The claim for compensation is 30 million dollars (about R $ 108 mi).
Samsung is facing a lawsuit from Pelé seeking $30m in compensation, after the football legend claimed the electronics group used a lookalike to promote its televisions last year.

The 75-year-old, who is considered among the greatest to have played the game, relies on endorsements for much of his income. He has deals with companies including Volkswagen, Subway, Emirates and Procter & Gamble.

This is an argument used by the defense to argue that the use of a "double" in the ad harms the image of Pele in other businesses and also with respect to the company, as consumers They may find that the Brazilian has returned to join the brand.
“The goal is to obtain fair compensation for the authorised use of Pelé’s identity and to prevent future unauthorised uses,” attorney Frederick Sperling said on behalf of Pelé.
Mr Sperling represented basketball player Michael Jordan in a similar case in 2015. Last August he helped Mr Jordan win an $8.9m jury verdict against the former supermarket chain Dominick’s for unauthorised use of his identity in an advert in Sports Illustrated.

With two days, only CSKA Moscow is qualified for the quarter-finals; the Laboral Kutxa is one step and the next two places are five teams: Olympiakos, Khimki Moscow, FC Barcelona, Real Madrid and Brose Bamberg, tied all six victories.
Barcelona could qualify for quarters if tomorrow expires at Bamberg by 10 points or more, if Real Madrid loses in Vitoria and Khimki does in his track to Olympiakos. Barca would be out of the playoff quarterfinals (best of five games) if you lose by four or more points and win Real Madrid and Khimki.

Correa income for the injured Di Maria gave it another go and beat the attack, but also contributed to failure to close the plays. It could be the game Leo 500 with a stunning free kick that took Lampe angle, it could also be the goal of red with a high kick. It could and should be wider the difference, but finished the doubleheader with six of six points is essential and 10 in a superlative level again.

In addition, he referred to the gesture Monday with people at the door of the hotel and said it was not his idea but "was an initiative of all."

It is that in addition to finding a new strategy developed with Pekerman, where he used a lone striker in point, the team showed unity, camaraderie and above all hungry to return to the World Cup.
The participation of new players was vital in these two games. Cases like Sebastian Perez , Oscar Murillo, Farid Diaz and Marlos Moreno, together with Daniel Torres who just completed four games with the national team, shows that no union in the group. Because they fit perfectly in a group coming to play the World Cup and the Copa America, and suffered heavy casualties, historical players, but with intelligence, were known convene and attached to an idea.
Colombia today is more alive than ever on the way to Russia. Today Colombia again showed hunger for the goal and the claw that characterized it in the last round.

Messi: "Rijkaard was the most important coach in my career"
Leo Messi was only 17 when Frank Rijkaard decided it was time to make the leap to the First Division of Barcelona . La Pulga, who by then only painted for crack, and came crashing in Barca B and Dutch coach did not hesitate: on 16 October 2004 sent him to the court in the Catalan derby against Espanyol . From that day she never came out again.
In an interview with Egyptian television channel MBC, the Pulga said the Dutch coach over the rest of the coaches who went because it was the "trusted" him and made him "debut" in the top flight.
" All the coaches I had in Primera let me things, but I think the most important thing in my career was Rijkaard " he said. He explained: "If he had not decided to get in the first team to train and play perhaps it had never reached the first team I always said it was for me a very important person because he trusted me, I jumped at the right time." .
In Barcelona, Messi served under Rijkaard, Pep Guardiola , Tito Vilanova , Jordi Roura and Luis Enrique . In the Argentina team it was led by Jose Pekerman , Alfio Basile , Diego Maradona , Sergio Batista and Alejandro Sabella . In addition, it was directed at both teams for Gerardo Martino .
Atletico Madrid has no defense
Atletico Madrid reaches the most delicate moment of the season, in which his future playing in the Champions League and the few options remaining in the league, in an extreme situation . With the lack of goal still unresolved, the team had based its entire stake in a strong defensive unsurpassed throughout Europe. Holders in the rear have been consolidated among the best in the world and meet guarantees alternates every time he touches them.
However, Simeone will accumulate problems in central defense . Godin , the great reference, had to leave early on the back of the tie against PSV due to a thigh problem. His compatriot Gimenez suffered a similar injury in the last league match, defeat in Gijon. Savic , the usual replacement, it takes a month off from the first leg against the Dutch, also for muscle aches. The central room of the workforce, Lucas Hernández is the greatest concern, since he returned from his commitment to the France Under-21 with a fractured vertebra.
There is confidence that the Montenegrin and the oldest of Uruguayans recover in time, but the fact is that, today, there is one central healthy in the template . What's more, Saul Ñíguez , which has had to fill the post of necessity on occasion, is also touched, as he suffered a sprained ankle playing with the lower categories of Spain.
So, facing the four parties that have the Atleti from here to 13 April (two league against Betis and Spanish, and other international goals against Barca ), there are three options. The first, shorten recovery times forcing the maximum and risking severe relapses. The second, improvise adapting the position of any other member of the team (Gamez? Gabi?), At the risk of their performance is not ideal and that other areas of the country remain weak. And the last, of course, resorting to the quarry , that it is ... but perhaps the jump Third Division to compete against Messi , Neymar and Suarez is a bit abrupt.
Banished (please) the victimista topic of bad luck and "pupae", who would be accused of such a delicate situation? For once and without a precedent, it does not seem that the offices have direct responsibility , since the preparation of the template seems adequate and four plants should be sufficient, although a fifth element would have been no more .
Yes you can accuse them of certain indolence in defending the interests of the club on schedules , with accumulations of games in a short time which require extraordinary efforts. But that negotiated deals Mr. Thebes , who is public and notorious sympathy for the other team of the city and, if anything, on the other club in the league that supposedly gives television profitability. Likewise, it is not the responsibility of the Atleti the excess irrelevant team matches cluttering further schedule already collapsed.
So it is organized football in this country and on this continent, and while these structures do not change, there is no way, except for sporadic miracles, compete on truly equal terms . For now, one of the few, very few teams across Europe who had dared to stand up to Barcelona is seeing, by chance, your options are reduced at the most inopportune moment. Still, no one would ever dare to rule out in advance a team coached by Cholo.
However, Simeone will accumulate problems in central defense . Godin , the great reference, had to leave early on the back of the tie against PSV due to a thigh problem.

Yes you can accuse them of certain indolence in defending the interests of the club on schedules , with accumulations of games in a short time which require extraordinary efforts. But that negotiated deals Mr. Thebes , who is public and notorious sympathy for the other team of the city and, if anything, on the other club in the league that supposedly gives television profitability. Likewise, it is not the responsibility of the Atleti the excess irrelevant team matches cluttering further schedule already collapsed.
So it is organized football in this country and on this continent, and while these structures do not change, there is no way, except for sporadic miracles, compete on truly equal terms . For now, one of the few, very few teams across Europe who had dared to stand up to Barcelona is seeing, by chance, your options are reduced at the most inopportune moment. Still, no one would ever dare to rule out in advance a team coached by Cholo.

Declining of Laporte, the most difficult to fill for Valverde
The decline Aymeric Laporte, practically and safely until end of season, by the serious injury sustained on Thursday with the Under-21 national team, is the most difficult to fill for the coach Athletic Club, Ernesto Valverde, who has the French center as one of its basic parts.
The absence of Laporte Athletic gets caught in one of the positions where scarcer effective anda Atletico squad, otherwise virtually two players per position.
Although it is also true that, in addition to the specialists, Xabi Etxeita -the other owner and Carlos Gurpegi usual, Valverde can fall back on, and as it has done in the past, players like Mikel San José medium centers and Gorka Elustondo and even the side Eneko Vault.
But none of them is left-handed, like the French. And outputting the game from behind perhaps only to equiparársele San Jose. If anything well, although to be seen, Vault. Etxeita is irregular and Gurpegi, who has had good years after injury last season has not recovered from its previous performance.
The truth is that supply Laporte is more complicated, because it is a left-handed center that dominates almost every facet of the game in position. Its shortcomings, if any, have more to do with issues such as concentration or sufficiency strictly qualities of the game.
The Under-21 international footballer is high (1.89 cm.), Powerful, aggressive, fast motion, quick on the long runs, dominates the air balls in the two areas -this year and 5 goals- leads; and start the game with a lot of quality, either short, long or sometimes driving.
This makes him, according to various rumors and information, appealing piece for the most powerful clubs in the world economically. Thus, his name has been linked in various media entities dimension of FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester teams, United and City, or Bayern Munich.
And also desired by the Spanish player selection, as has publicly confessed Vicente del Bosque, in case you can not find a place in the French Didier Deschamps absolute and decide to take another international road.
Therefore, the termination clause of the contract is 50 million euros, the highest in the red and white template with the Inaki Williams, as he was born in 1994. Although the front is later appearance in the elite.
The San José option as a substitute for Laporte might seem the right one to address the lack of French at the output of ball. But seeing somewhat complicated because it is difficult to think of a return to a position of Navarre plant that seemed natural hers but which did not give the expected level is.
It has been the move to midfield which has made San Jose almost indisputable Beñat Etxebarria with eleven Bilbao holder, and the first relay Sergio Busquets of Barcelona in the selection.
In both fights he has leapfrogged Ander Iturraspe, once a key player for both Valverde as before to the Argentine Marcelo Bielsa, who delayed Javi Martinez central to accommodate the talented vizcaíno pivot.
Perhaps the possibility of juntarle with Iturraspe in the team may decide to delay Valverde to San Jose. Although it is something not usually do but duty during the game due to injury or expulsion of a colleague.
Even when it has given rest to Laporte, rarely, the Txingurri has chosen Gurpegi, Elustondo and even Vault, I barely knew the position.
Declining Laporte has also uncovered the lack of central Athletic on a short and medium term hypothetical future if the French surrender at the end of a manifestly more substantial deals in the economic and Gurpegi, which this summer 36, decides terminate his career.
There are plants in Athletic Bilbao with some projection, as Jonas Ramalho (22 years), Yeray Alvarez (21) and Oscar Gil (20), common in the eleven 'Cuco' Ziganda. But none has managed to make the own area "Comanche territory" for opponents.
