Jota looking to cement place in Liverpool strike force

AFP

Diogo Jota said Monday he was looking to cement a place in Liverpool’s strike force for the new season following the departures of Sadio Mane, Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino.

The 25-year-old Portuguese forward, speaking from Thailand ahead of the clash in capital Bangkok against Manchester United on Tuesday night, was sometimes eclipsed by the star-power of centre Mane last season.

But with the Senegal player’s departure for Bayern Munich for a three-year deal, speculation has grown about how manager Jurgen Klopp will redistribute his centre players.

“Obviously those (three) departed and only one arrived — well, Fabio (Carvalho) as well but I’m not sure where he is going to play yet. Of course, with the years you add extra responsibility,” Jota told LiverpoolFC.com.

“Of course that allows me to be one of the senior players, with that comes extra responsibility as well but I think that I am ready for that.”

Speaking about the upcoming season, Jota said “hopefully I can be on the scoresheet often and that’s what I want: to help the team and score goals so we can win football matches”.

The player picked up an “unlucky” hamstring injury while on international duty over the summer, but was optimistic about his form.

“I just had the summer to recover well and start the pre-season at 100 per cent,” he said.

Super Bowl shatters viewership records with 123.4 million tuning in for Chiefs’ victory

The Super Bowl last Sunday, where the Kansas City Chiefs emerged victorious with a 25-22 win over the San Francisco 49ers and featured Taylor Swift as a star spectator, achieved a record-breaking audience of 123.4 million viewers, setting a new benchmark for television broadcasts in U.S. history.

This spectacle surpassed the previous record held by last year’s Super Bowl, in which the Chiefs also clinched the title, this time against the Philadelphia Eagles, gathering 115.1 million viewers.

The 2024 Super Bowl ranks just behind the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969, which had an estimated viewership of between 125 and 150 million people in the U.S. However, the comparison is somewhat imprecise since the moon landing was broadcast across various networks, whereas the 2024 Super Bowl was exclusively aired on CBS and its affiliated channels and platforms.

Data from Nielsen Fast National and Adobe Analytics, released by the NFL in a statement on Monday, showed that 120 million people watched the game on CBS.

The remaining viewers tuned in through Paramount+, Nickelodeon, Univision, CBS Sports, and NFL+. Notably, the 2.2 million viewers on Univision set a new record for a Super Bowl broadcast on a Spanish-speaking network.
