Credit:gettyimages Real Madrid’s head coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed deep concern following the team’s second straight defeat at the Bernabeu. After a 4-0 loss to Barcelona in La Liga, Madrid suffered a 3-1 Champions League defeat to AC Milan, leaving the title-holders in a troubling 17th place out of 36 teams. Adding to the tension, Fede Valverde's partner criticized Ancelotti and the team’s forwards on social media during the match, signaling growing unrest. Speaking to Movistar post-match, Ancelotti admitted, “We have to be worried.” He noted, “In the last few games, the team hasn’t been in good shape. We lack solidity. It’s time to work.” Addressing the nine goals conceded in the past three games, Ancelotti attributed the defensive issues to a lack of cohesion. "The team is not compact. We have to be more compact, more orderly. Yes, we’re conceding a lot," he said. On Valverde, Ancelotti explained that the midfielder was dealing with back pain. Though Valverde trained well the day before, he felt discomfort in the first half, leading to his substitution. Ancelotti also commented on the crowd’s whistles when Aurelien Tchouameni was replaced at halftime, dismissing any concerns about the player’s morale. "This is not an individual issue; it’s a collective one. Now it’s time to get up, fight, and prepare for the next match." Real Madrid faces tough competition in the coming weeks, including Premier League leaders Liverpool and Europa League champions Atalanta. Ancelotti emphasized the need to focus on current issues: “We are a team that is not showing its best version, and we need to find it to compete in all competitions.” On Saturday, Madrid hosts Osasuna , currently in fifth place and the only team to defeat Barcelona in La Liga this season. With a postponed match against Valencia due to regional flooding, Real Madrid trails Barcelona by nine points at the top of the table.

Tanzania Highlights Economic Gains from $10 Billion Investment in Standard Gauge Railway Alison Marsh Nov 2, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Tanzania outlines economic benefits after investing $10 billion in SGR Tanzania has highlighted the economic advantages it has achieved from its $10 billion investment in the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), which started operations in June. Built by the Tanzania Railways Corporation (TRC), this 2,561-kilometer modern rail network links Dar es Salaam to Mwanza, Kigoma, Katavi, and neighboring countries including Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, and the DRC. Since June, the segment between Dar es Salaam and Dodoma has transported 645,421 passengers and generated Sh15.695 billion in revenue, according to Prof Kitila Mkumbo, Minister of State in the President’s Office for Planning and Investment . Prof Mkumbo presented the proposed Development Plan for 2025/26, emphasizing that the SGR is reducing transport costs and times, attracting investment, and enhancing domestic and international trade. Tanzania aims to become a key logistics and transportation hub in East and Southern Africa. The project has created over 30,000 direct jobs and more than 150,000 indirect jobs since construction began in 2017. Travel time between Dar es Salaam and Dodoma has been reduced from around ten hours by bus to three and a half hours by train, a shift Mkumbo described as a significant boost for both personal and commercial transport. Powered by electricity, the SGR contributes to road safety and environmental sustainability. Additionally, it has driven demand for local materials like cement and steel, bolstering the manufacturing sector. Currently, 2,460 companies are contracted on the project, representing contracts worth Sh3.69 trillion. The SGR also facilitates efficient cross-border cargo movement, supporting international trade. Since 2023, 519 investment projects have been established along the SGR route, attracting $4.59 billion in capital and creating over 115,000 jobs. Prof Mkumbo noted that the railway is not just a mode of transport but a gateway to stronger economic growth and Tanzania’s vision of becoming a regional logistics powerhouse.
