▼ + stars: | 2022-11-07 | by ( Josh Ye | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

HONG KONG, Nov 7 (Reuters) - The chief executive of China's Bilibili Inc (9626.HK) has taken over direct supervision of the company's gaming department, according to an internal email seen by Reuters, as the Alibaba-backed company looks to boost revenue growth. When Bilibili went public on the Nasdaq in 2018, gaming accounted for about 80% of its total revenue. But Bilibili has been struggling to find new hits over the years while other Chinese companies including NetEase and miHoYo continue to gain ground. Bilibili's gaming revenue declined 15% in the quarter ended June this year, accounting for about 21% of its total revenue. The company has long struggled to turn a profit despite having more than 300 million monthly users on its video platform.

☆ Antoine Griezmann scores ‘Olimpico’ goal as Atlético Madrid beats Real Betis 2-1
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-24 | by ( George Ramsay | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

CNN —Antoine Griezmann scored twice, including directly from a corner, as Atlético Madrid defeated Real Betis 2-1 on Sunday to move up to third in Spain’s La Liga. The French international scored his second through the legs of Silva after neat interplay with Ángel Correa and substitute Matheus Cunha. It was a frustrating end to the game for the home side, which is now fifth in La Liga – three points behind Atlético and 11 behind leader Real Madrid. Lewandowski’s first-half effort, which came after a brilliant run from Dembélé, took the Polish striker to 12 goals in La Liga this season – five more than any other player. Barça is now three points behind Real Madrid, its only defeat in the league coming in El Clásico earlier this month.

HONG KONG — Xi Jinping secured a historic third term as leader of China on Sunday, cementing his status as the country’s most powerful figure in decades and extending his authoritarian rule over the world’s second-largest economy. The Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping introduced the limit in 1982 to prevent a return to a Mao-style cult of personality. The Chinese leader reiterated the goal of peaceful “reunification,” without renouncing the possible use of force. “Xi still promises no specific timeline on unification.”But the Chinese leader did put greater emphasis on warning “external forces” to stay out of the Taiwan issue. A telecast of Chinese President Xi Jinping plays on a screen in Hong Kong on Monday.

Oct 23 (Reuters) - Two second-half goals from Antoine Griezmann, one scored directly from a corner kick, gave Atletico Madrid a 2-1 win at Real Betis on Sunday, extending their unbeaten run in LaLiga to five games. Substitute Victor Luiz saved Betis from conceding six minutes later, throwing himself in front of an Angel Correa bullet strike that cannoned off him for a corner. That was when Griezmann opened the scoring in the 54th minute, scoring directly from a perfectly placed corner kick past Rui Silva. Fifteen minutes later, substitute Matheus Cunha passed to Griezmann whose right-footed shot on goal went through Silva's legs and into the bottom right corner. Betis rallied to score with a Nabil Fekir free kick from the edge of the box into Jan Oblak's top left corner in the 84th minute.

A fost al 107-lea său gol la naţională, al 12-lea la EURO şi al treilea la EURO 2020.

Cristiano Ronaldo a şutat violent din lovitură liberă (54), de la 25 de metri, dar mingea a trecut peste poartă.
