Misery continues for Anderson
Felipe Anderson’s misery continues after he was left out of FC Porto’s matchday squad tonight.
He has only played 52 minutes of football in the five matches at which he has been on loan at Porto.
He came on a 59th minutes substitute with former Hammer Toni Martinez against Sports Lisbon on 17th October in a 2-2 draw for his 31-minute debut.
He also came on as a 72nd-minute substitute against Pacos Ferreira in a 3-2 loss on 30th October playing a further 18 minutes for Porto.
However, there was no room for Anderson in Porto’s 23 man match squad in the Champions League against Marseille tonight.
Porto manager Sergio Conceicao has suggested that Felipe Anderson must work harder, when speaking to DESPORTO AO MINUTO, as the West Ham loanee continues to struggle in Portugal
The head coach told reporters “Felipe knows that in order to return to having brilliant moments as he had [so far in his career], it is necessary to work hard. Anything he does now [at Porto] can have great positive results in the future. And everything that has already happened [in his career] no longer matters, it stays in the bank. The important thing is what he will do at FC Porto.”
Anderson agreed a season loan with Porto with the Portuguese side paying his £100,00o plus per week wages and a significant loan fee.
Mobile network operator EE has equipped the London Stadium with high-density 5G coverage despite no supporters being present.
The news was confirmed by Stadium owners in the Cheif Executives to the LLDC report in October.
5G is around 10 times faster than 4G. It’s designed to work at average speeds of 150-200Mbps, and peak speeds can reach above 1Gbps.
Last year the London Stadium delivered the fastest free stadium Wi-Fi in the UK following a tie-up with O2 Business and Cisco.
The London Stadium Wi-Fi network delivers high-speed internet to every seat allowing users on any network to remain connected throughout every match day.
As part of a major improvement project, London Stadium’s original fibre backbone infrastructure from London 2012 was enhanced with new high-speed data cabling. Designed, installed and tested by O2 Business, the new Wi-Fi access points use similar technology to that in use at The O2 Arena, Twickenham Stadium and the Coca-Cola London Eye.
