Cruz Azul lost its compass with the departure of Anselmi and added its third game without winning

It seems that at Blue Cross They took their joy away with the departure of Argentine coach Martín Anselmi, who left the cement producers right away to go and coach FC Porto in Portugal, because this Saturday on matchday 3 they tied 1-1 with the Puebla in their third game without knowing victory. A result that shows that blue turned into gray without the driver who in the last two tournaments led them to achieve glory in the MX League with a runner-up finish and a semifinal in the Clausura and Apertura 2024 tournaments, but without achieving the maximum achievement. Because it could be said that people leave and institutions staybut with what the light blue team showed today with the Uruguayan Vicente Sánchez on the bench replacing Anselmi, it opened a range of questions that make us fear the worst for Cruz Azul with a large roster of players, but that gives the impression that They ripped out the soul with the departure of their coach. This allowed Puebla without much brilliance to get a very productive draw by simply putting the dagger between their teeth to dispute each ball with the celestials as if it were the last thing they had left of breath, but in the end with the goal from Uruguayan Emiliano Gómez they got a point from a very complicated field. Breathless and eager Without exaggeration and keeping the proportions, the way Cruz Azul assumed the match against Puebla It gave the impression that they did not want to be on the field of the University Olympic stadium, which to make matters worse left in the air the idea that it is a stage that does not suit the celestials and that their fans feel uncomfortable in that setting. Thus, Cruz Azul, although it took the lead on the scoreboard one minute into the game with the goal of Argentine Lorenzo Faravelli, was never able to maintain a rhythm that could guarantee a favorable result, especially because After his annotation he allowed Puebla to take over the shares and even put them in Puebla. The problem did not lie in what Argentine Pablo Guede’s team did, but rather what Cruz Azul failed to do, which with Vicente Sánchez on the bench wanted to invent a line of four where the players never felt comfortable. and they were the worst 44 minutes since a year ago for the Celeste Machine in the first half. Because Rotondi was put in the midfield and not on the wing where he is very dangerous, while Jorge Sánchez, Gonzalo Piovi, Willer Ditta and Omar Campos never settled in at the back, while in midfield with Lorenzo Faravelli, Carlos Rodríguez, Ignacio Rivero and Carlos Rotondi, they did not fit in either. The lack of rhythm meant that Gabriel “Toro” Fernández and Ángel Sepúlveda were decoration pieces and never generated danger up front. facilitating the work of the people of Puebla who in the first half were masters and lords of the actions. It was not enough for the Machine In the second half, the new coach made moves with Luka Romero and Erik Lira in the attack by Ángel Sepúlveda and Omar Campos, returning to his line of three, where Rotondi returned to the left sector to combine with the debutant Luka Romero, causing the first 15 minutes of the complementary part to give the impression of being the old Cruz Azul. But then Puebla closed the roads and made the Machine seem inoperative to open a trail of doubts about the true capacity of Cruz Azul and if these 70 million that they have spent on reinforcements will be the key to fighting for the title. For now it seems that the hangover after the emotional blow of Anselmi’s abandonment is weighing more than necessary and facing the duel with Necaxa The worst is predicted on date 4 where they have to visit the house of the hydrocalides, Continue reading:– Cruz Azul announces the official signing of the Polish Mateusz Bogusz– Cruz Azul sues Martín Anselmi and could ruin his arrival at Porto– They assure that the Cruz Azul board investigates Iván Alonso for the departure of Anselmi

Someone has asked video game developers what they are being dedicated and the answer has been Unani: A PC

The PC is the most complete platform to play. While a console binds us to pre -installed hardware, a PC admits the constant update of the components, allows us to access more gross power, all kinds of settings in the games and well, it allows us to do many other things that are not playing. The PC, ultimately, is important and is increasinglysomething that is demonstrated in the State of the Industry Report 2025 That the game developers conference has just published. The data. According to the report, 80% of the more than 3,000 developers who have completed the survey sent by the GDC are developing PC games. The figure contrasts with the consoles. Only 38% of developers are working on games for PlayStation 5 And something less, 34%, work in games for Xbox Series x|S. GDC survey results | Image: GDC Brutal growth. The percentage of developers making games for PC has not stopped increasing. In 2020 it was 56%. In 2021 it went to 58%. In 2022 the figure grew to 22%. In 2023 it was 65% and last year, 66%. The jump has been huge for a year so far and is proof that PC gaming is more alive than ever. Only last year 19,000 games were published only in Steamwhich says a lot. Another thing is that all those games end, indeed, playing. Spoiler: No. 80% barely played. The reason? From the GDC they are not clear, but they believe that it could be related to “the growing popularity of the Steam Deck De Valve “. According to the report,” this year’s survey has not highlighted Steam (or Valve’s laptop) as its own platform, because it is a PC and Mac game center. But it seems that some developers do They consider it a unique platform. For example, when they were asked to name other platforms that interest them, almost half (44%) wrote Steam Deck. “ If something has taught us Nintendo with his Nintendo Switch is that the portable format works and likes. Valve has done it greatly with the Steam Deck and the alternatives are increasingly complete and powerful. It is normal for developers to look at this format with interest, to the point that Microsoft works on their own console. As a curious fact, only 20% of the devs work in games for Nintendo Switch and only 12% for Linux, which is the basis of We are. On the other hand, it is no secret that publishing games on PC is much simpler than publishing them on consoles, so it makes sense that the PC is the first great option. Image | Unspash The bias. The GDC survey is quite revealing, but it has a problem. 58% of respondents are from the United States and 16% are from the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. The rest of the world has a rather reduced presence and that means one thing: that the interest of one of the most important markets in the world is not reflected. We speak, of course, about China, a country in which mobile gaming is religion. Although the GDC survey shows that 28-29% of developers work in mobile games, the truth is that, if there is a greater presence of Chinese, Japanese and Korean respondents, the photo would be very different. The mobile would probably be one of the big platforms for two reasons: scope and income. The Middle Gaming PC. According to Steam datathe average PC player has a Windows 11, 16 GB of RAM, a processor between 2.3 and 2.69 GHz, a GeForce RTX 3060 NVIDIA, a FullHD monitor and a storage tea installed.

Heat suspends Butler again, this time 2 games for missing flight and ‘insubordination’

The Miami Heat suspended Jimmy Butler for the second time in three weeks, raising the possibility that he may have played his last game with the franchise. Butler received the latest suspension — a two-game suspension — for what the Heat considered a “continuing pattern of disregard for team rules, insubordination and behavior detrimental to the club.” Among the offenses mentioned by the club in the statement it issued Wednesday night was the fact that Butler missed his flight to Milwaukee earlier in the day. The Heat were scheduled to play the Bucks on Thursday and at Brooklyn on Saturday. The soonest Butler could play again for the Heat would be Monday, at home against Orlando. And that would depend on him still being on the roster, which doesn’t seem certain. Butler told the Heat in recent weeks that he wants a trade, a demand he has not made public because league rules do not allow players to do so. Any basketball player who makes such a demand public risks a fine of up to $150,000. But the Heat revealed that request by suspending him in early January for what they considered conduct detrimental to the team, and stressed at the time that they would work to satisfy his trade request. The NBA transfer deadline is February 6. Butler was suspended for seven games earlier this month, costing him about $2.4 million in salary. Butler returned last week and had played in each of Miami’s last three games, averaging 13 points in 29.3 minutes. The Heat left for Milwaukee around 2:15 pm on Wednesday (2015 GMT). That departure time is earlier than Miami usually leaves for most of its trips, and it’s unclear if that was a factor in Butler’s delay. The dates of the matches scheduled on this Heat trip coincide with a paddle tennis tournament in Miami, which mentions Butler as honorary president and co-captain. Butler’s coffee company, Big Face, is also involved with the event. But it was not known if Butler planned to be present at that contest in Miami and if that had anything to do with him missing the flight to Milwaukee. ___ This story was translated from English by an AP editor with the help of a generative artificial intelligence tool.
