Malouda: "I hope Chelsea sign Mbappé"

Former Chelsea striker Florent Malouda says he would like to see Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappé move to London.

"I hope Chelsea sign Mbappé, and I think the club should choose the best player like him. Especially when I see how much money Chelsea has spent on others. It all depends on his desire to come to the club, but we must choose such a top player and build a team around him. My dream is to build a team with young players around Mbappé. He has won many trophies and is eager for more, so Chelsea should look for such players. Will Mbappé agree to move to Chelsea? Anything is possible! "It’s not just about preparing an offer with a lot of money," Goal quoted Malouda as saying.

Mbappé has been playing for Paris Saint-Germain since 2018. The 24-year-old Frenchman’s contract will last until the summer of 2025.

This season, Mbappé made 30 appearances in various competitions on behalf of the club, scored 7 goals and sent 31 assists.

Technical password of generated image AI

In the past few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has made great progress, and AI’s new products include AI image generator. This is a tool that can convert input statements into images. There are many AI tools for text-to-image conversion, but the most prominent ones are DALL-E 2, Stable Diffusion and Midjourney.

DALL-E 2 is developed by OpenAI and the project of chatgpt is complementary. It generates images through a paragraph of text description. Its GPT-3 converter model trained with more than 10 billion parameters can interpret natural language input and generate corresponding images.

DALL-E 2 mainly consists of two parts-converting user input into a representation of an image (called Prior), and then converting this representation into an actual photo (called Decoder).

The text and images used in it are embedded in another network called CLIP (Contrast Language-Image Pre-training), which is also developed by OpenAI. CLIP is a neural network that returns the best title for the input image. What it does is the opposite of what DALL-E 2 does-it converts images into text, while DALL-E 2 converts text into images. The purpose of introducing CLIP is to learn the connection between visual and text representation of objects.

DALL-E 2′ s job is to train two models. The first one is Prior, which accepts text labels and creates CLIP image embedding. The second is Decoder, which accepts CLIP image embedding and generates images. After the model training is completed, the reasoning process is as follows:

  • The input text is converted into CLIP text embedding using neural network.

  • Use Principal Component Analysis to reduce the dimension of text embedding.

  • Create an image embedding using text embedding.

  • After entering the Decoder step, the diffusion model is used to embed the image into an image.

  • The image is enlarged from 64×64 to 256×256, and finally enlarged to 1024×1024 by using convolutional neural network.

Stable Diffusion is a text-to-image model, which uses CLIP ViT-L/14 text encoder and can adjust the model through text prompts. It separates the imaging process into a "diffusion" process at runtime-starting from the noisy situation, gradually improving the image until there is no noise at all, and gradually approaching the provided text description.

Stable Diffusion is based on Latent Diffusion Model(LDM), which is a top-notch text-to-image synthesis technology. Before understanding the working principle of LDM, let’s look at what is diffusion model and why we need LDM.

Diffusion Models, DM) is a generation model based on Transformer, which samples a piece of data (such as an image) and gradually increases the noise over time until the data cannot be recognized. This model tries to return the image to its original form, and in the process, it learns how to generate pictures or other data.

The problem of DM is that powerful DM often consumes a lot of GPU resources, and the cost of reasoning is quite high due to Sequential Evaluations. In order to train DM on limited computing resources without affecting its quality and flexibility, Stable Diffusion applies DM to powerful Pre-trained Autoencoders.

On this premise, the diffusion model is trained, which makes it possible to achieve an optimal balance between reducing complexity and preserving data details, and significantly improves the visual reality. The cross attention layer is introduced into the model structure, which makes the diffusion model a powerful and flexible generator and realizes the high-resolution image generation based on convolution.

Midjourney is also a tool driven by artificial intelligence, which can generate images according to the user’s prompts. MidJourney is good at adapting to the actual artistic style and creating images with any combination of effects that users want. It is good at environmental effects, especially fantasy and science fiction scenes, which look like the artistic effects of games.

DALL-E 2 uses millions of image data for training, and its output results are more mature, which is very suitable for enterprises to use. When there are more than two characters, the image generated by DALL-E 2 is much better than that generated by Midjourney or Stable Diffusion.

Midjourney is a tool famous for its artistic style. Midjourney uses its Discord robot to send and receive requests for AI servers, and almost everything happens on Discord. The resulting image rarely looks like a photo, it seems to be more like a painting.

Stable Diffusion is an open source model that everyone can use. It has a good understanding of contemporary art images and can produce works of art full of details. However, it needs to explain the complex prompt. Stable Diffusion is more suitable for generating complex and creative illustrations. However, there are some shortcomings in creating general images.

There are big changes in the frontcourt this summer. Barcelona wants to clean two generals, and the No.10 in the team+the old Manchester City general.

This season, the team has successively introduced Levan and Rafinha, which has achieved good results. Barcelona hopes to continue to upgrade its frontcourt position this summer, while some players with poor performance will be purged. Fati and Phelan Torres are undoubtedly inferior to others in the frontcourt. In terms of reinforcement, Barcelona intends to introduce Rocco, while in terms of cleaning, Fati and Phelan Torres are the two frontcourt players who are most likely to leave the team. In order to have enough funds to continue the upgrade and reinforcement of the frontcourt, Barcelona may consider selling one of Fati and Phelan Torres.

Fati, the new Barcelona No.10 is obviously not as good as the previous No.10 players of the club, and it is difficult for people to see any signs of improvement. Fati’s future in Barcelona has become increasingly uncertain, and now the club is more inclined to sell it to recover funds, rather than give time to prove itself. Fati’s own performance is unstable, and it also affects other players on Barcelona’s offensive end from time to time. The most classic scene is that Fati grabbed Levan, who was in a better position, so that the latter failed to make a header attack. Fati failed to have a good chemical reaction with other teams in the frontcourt, but it had the opposite effect. The data of 6 goals and 3 assists in 36 games seems not bad, but Fati did more harm than good in the frontcourt.

Fortunately, Fati still has a market, and several top teams in the Premier League want to introduce this Barcelona frontcourt player. Therefore, as long as Barcelona is willing to push Fati into the transfer market, I believe it can be sold at a good price. As for Phelan Torres, he only came to Barcelona in January last year, and this season has actually begun the first full season of his career in Barcelona. However, the club is obviously not satisfied with Phelan Torres’ performance on the court. Poor ability to seize opportunities, whether it is personal scoring or organizing assists, has not played the role and effect expected by the coach. Phelan-Torres Espiba has a low presence on the offensive end, which has actually lasted for a long time.

People don’t see any signs of recovery in Phelan Torres. Phelan Torres is not as good as Dembele in breaking and killing on the flank. The latter can not only play a critical role, but also always send assists to his teammates. Barcelona hopes to sell Phelan Torres this summer. At the beginning, it cost 55 million euros to introduce him from Manchester City, and the capital cost is a little. Now it seems that this transaction is obviously disappointing and at a loss. Phelan Torres has played 32 games for Barcelona so far this season, of which only 13 started and scored 5 goals and 1 assist. It’s worse than Fati in data.

For Barcelona fans, compared with Fati, the club is actually more inclined to sell Phelan Torres. After all, the former comes from the team’s own youth training, and the fans still hope Fati can play and show his due role on the court. Phelan Torres is not from Barcelona, but from Valencia. Phelan Torres made a name for himself in Valencia and attracted the attention of Manchester City. During his time at Manchester City, Phelan Torres’ performance was remarkable. However, due to Barcelona’s invitation, fans have the idea of returning to La Liga. Manchester City chose to follow Phelan Torres’ wishes and the deal was successfully concluded. However, it is a pity that Phelan Torres, who returned to La Liga, played an outstanding performance in Valencia and even Manchester City, but now he is facing the fate of being purged.

Guangzhou team’s core players are concerned by European teams! U20 Asian Cup, single-handedly attacking the national football team.

Football News reported that Wei Shihao and Yan Dinghao, the two most popular international players of Guangzhou team, and Li Yang, the main central defender of last season, will join Wuhan Sanzhen, the new champion of Chinese Super League, for free. In addition, Tan Kaiyuan of Spanish Team B studying abroad, Wu Shaocong of barsac Saier in Istanbul studying abroad, and Yang Liyu who followed Beijing Guoan training. In the new season, Guangzhou team can only compete in League A with young players like Ling Jie and Ai Fielding from Evergrande Football School as the core. However, the well-known media person "Little Fox in leicester city" revealed:Eiffel may also start a trip abroad in the new season, targeting teams from five major European league countries.

Fans who are concerned about China football know that both the national U20 football team and the national U20 women’s football team are currently competing in the U20 Asian Cup-related competitions (the women’s football team is playing the first stage of the U20 Asian Cup qualifiers). Under the leadership of head coach Antonio, the U20 national football team, with Eiffel as the core of attack, unexpectedly broke out from the group of death (1-2 Japan, 2-0 Saudi Arabia, 1-1 Kyrgyzstan) and successfully advanced to the quarter-finals of the U20 Asian Cup. In these three games, Effectin started as the captain of the field. Moreover, the four goals of U20 national football team in three games are all related to it. It can be said that he is the present U20 pretended attack engine.

In the quarter-finals of the U20 Asian Cup, the U20 national football team will face the test of the old rival South Korea. In this game, Eiffel will continue to start as the captain if there is no accident. The fans are all looking forward to Effectin, and he can still create an opportunity for U20 national football team to break the South Korean team with his own personal ability in this game. Even won the Korean team to advance to the semi-finals. In that case, the U20 national football team will enter the World Youth Championship again after 18 years, so that fans can relive the glory of the 2005 World Youth Championship.

Just seven hours before the start of the game, the well-known sports media person "leicester city’s Little Fox" broke the news: "Eiffel has been in contact with foreign teams. Moreover, Guo Wei’s teams are now paying attention to his performance. It used to be a Nordic team, but now it is a team from five major league countries.

Although, it is not the team of the five major leagues, but the team of the five major league countries. However, for 19-year-old Effectin, it is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Therefore, the World War I with South Korea has also become an excellent opportunity for Effectin to show himself. As the future star of China football, fans also hope that he can become famous in this game, thus starting his journey abroad. For the rise of China football, we should seek for real professional football, instead of staying in the colorful vats of China A and China Super League.
