Remarkable’ Leicester can reach Champions League ― Rodgers Read more at: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/07/remarkable-leicester-can-reach-champions-league-%e2%80%95-rodgers/



Brendan Rodgers has backed Leicester to qualify for the Champions League despite a late-season wobble in the Premier League. The Foxes travel to Arsenal on Tuesday as they battle to return to Europe’s elite club competition for the first time since 2016/17. ADVERTISING ADVERTISING Rodger’s Leicester are third in the Premier League table after Saturday’s 3-0 win over Crystal Palace ended their four-match winless streak in all competitions since the coronavirus hiatus. Rodgers believes his team can finish in the top four again despite a tight race, with fifth-placed Manchester United just three points behind them. “There’s no doubt, we have shown over 33 games our talent. OK, we’re maybe missing some players but as a squad we’re very focused on achieving it and we’ll fight to the final whistle,” Rodgers said. “What the players have done has been remarkable. I’m pretty clear on that and getting the perspective of it all. “If you think of the two teams in front of us (Liverpool and Manchester City), two of the greatest teams the Premier League has produced, for us to be second in the league from a defensive perspective and third-highest goalscorers means the players have been brilliant.

The Gunners have won their past three league games without conceding to sit seventh, nine points behind the Foxes. Rodgers has been impressed by Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta since he replaced the sacked Unai Emery in December. “Mikel has done very well, he has gone into a club with huge expectation which he knows. He has gone in on his first job and how he has dealt with it has been outstanding,” Rodgers said. “You can see the style and it’s not an easy style to implement, especially at a club wanting to challenge straight away.” [AFP] Vanguard News Nigeria.

BTC outperforms precious metals in H1 2020

BTC has shown why it remains the favourite among global investors as data from Messari, a crypto analytic firm, revealed that in the first half of 2020 BTC gained more than 27% performing better than precious metals that include platinum gold and silver. The yellow precious metal underperformed BTC by nearly 11% points, despite surging to about 16% at the first half of 2020 and touching eight-year highs last month. Platinum and silver both ended the first half of 2020 with negative gains. Bitcoin’s strong performance is no shock to some analysts, especially in context of the benchmark cryptocurrency’s showing high correlation with global equity markets. “Given that equities are now near, or in some cases above, their highs reached in February, it’s not surprising to see BTC do the same,”  said Ryan Watkins, BTC analyst at Messari. Why compare returns from BTCs to gold or other precious metals?  “Gold is bitcoin’s most aspirational asset,”  explained Watkins . “Like BTC, g...
