SPORTS WITH THE ADMIN
THE
REAL TITLE CONTENDERS IN THE EPL
The red devils, Man United, have started the season on
a high; winning all three opening matches without conceding a single goal and
banging in ten (10). This is the kind of position, the coach, Jose Mourinho,
wants any team he handles to be; at the top of their game. The two new
signings, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic (i still ponder why Chelsea should
let him go) have live up to expectation; so far. Though, Lukaku, is not my ideal
“A” class striker. An “A” class striker, shows up also on the big stage. I am
of the opinion that, probably Mourinho, signing of Lukaku, wants to concentrate
more on the EPL titles, this season. This accounts for the signing of Lukaku
and for Ambramohvic (the abrakatabra), his one year extension is to access what
he can do during Champions league.
The citizens, Man City, have so many “citizens” to
the extent the coach (Pep Guardiola) is finding it difficult to identify the “real
citizens”. This accounts for his erratic changes of his starting line ups. It
was so confusing that they almost lost their match against Everton at the
Etihad. If not for Raheem Sterling that was introduced at the dying minutes;
that saved the day. I think, Pep, had realized that the EPL is not the same as
La Liga or the Bundesliga; where he won laurels with so much ease. The laurels
from La Liga and Bundesliga increased his ratings and placed so much value on
him. In other to maintain the status quo, after a season at the EPL without a
single title, he went into “panic buying” of players. The “panic buying” of
players had made him so confused to the extent he does not know which player to
field or which formation to use. The earlier he gets it right the better or it
will be another dry season for the citizens at the Etihad.
Is London bridge falling
down? . . . . . eeh no! It is my strong opinion that the London bridge is not
falling down, for now. The blues, Chelsea
FC, have clearly shown resolute in defending the title they won last season.
After a shaky start against Burnley, losing at Stamford Bridge. A highly
controversial match. The last two matches has shown their determination to save
the bridge and is a strong indication of the coach ( Antonio Conte) tactical
ability to utilise what he has to grind out
victories. The current predicament of out of favour player, Diego Costa,
is an example of what happens to a player when they fail to acknowledge the
authority and place of the team Manager. A complete player should not only be
talented but also must be discipline. The new arrival, Alvaro Morata, have
shown he is up to the task.
Tottenham
Hotspur FC, the toffees, should step up their game and show the
real class of title contenders. They not being able to hold their own outside
the EPL is worrisome. The coach, Mauricio Pochettino, should do more in terms of tactical play.
Arsenal
FC,
the gunners, still taste like the old
wine; nothing new. The humiliation they
received from Liverpool FC is a clear indication that when are willing to leave
they should be allowed to go. If they are not allowed to go, their low
commitment will definitely effect others. The coach, Asene Wenger, has lost
touch with modern football. I think it is time for Asene Wenger to go; an
injection of fresh technical input is needed.
Liverpool
FC,
never walk alone, is a team that has so much potential but yet under achievers.
This season will not be anything different. Jurgen Klopp, the Reds coach, needs
to sign two grade A players to put up real competition within and outside the English
premiership.
THE
SUPER EAGLES OF NIGERIA
The African qualifying
series for the Fifa World Cup in Russia, 2018 resumes this weekend with the
Super Eagles of Nigeria taking on the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon today
(01-09-2017) with the return leg on Monday (04-09-2017). The Super Eagles of
Nigeria is toping the group with six (6) points while the Indomitable Lions of
Cameroon have two (2) points. The rivary between Nigeria and Cameroon dates
back
“yes! The Cameroonians’
have all the bragging right because they
are the African champions”
“yes! During the era of
Roger Miller and Samuel Eto; Cameroon had an edge over Nigerian in terms of
tactical discipline”
“yes! Cameroon stopped the
Nigeria from qualifying for the World Cup in Italy. 1990”
“yes! Out of five (5)
African cup of Nations titles the Cameroonians have won; three (3)won by defeating
Nigerians at the final”
If you ask me, despite
what is stated above the Nigerian team can do better. How many of us remember
that the last time Nigeria played Cameroon was in a friendly match, which
Nigeria won by three (3) goals to nothing. I know, your argument is that it was
a mere friendly match. But do you also know that, the team Nigeria defeated
form the nucleus of the current Cameroon team. I would say this categorically,
if the Cameroonians are that good why are they currently rated fifth (5th)
in African football ranking? Closely followed by Nigeria in sixth (6th)
position. The only department where the Cameroonians currently have an edge is
in the area of goal keeping.
We will defeat Cameroon
today regardless of who stands in between the post; if
(a)
Leon Balogun and Truce Ekong are both fit
to play the central defence role together.
(b) Avoid
the mentality of “na me score am” ;
self centered game.
(c)
They take advantage of their team mate in a
better position to score.
(d)
In addition to whatever tactical approach
the coach has adopted, they should REMAIN
FOCUSED THROUGH OUT THE ENTIRE DURATION OF THE MATCH.
In today’s match and in
the return leg on Monday, victory is guaranteed if they adhere to what is
advised above.
THE
D’TIGRESS OF NIGERIA
Our shout out goes to the
D’Tigress of Nigeria for winning the Female Afro Basketball completion. This
they did in grand style by defeating their arch rival and the defending
champions, Senegal, twice! In the group stage and in the final. We single “
stand up for the champions” and twenty-one (21) gun salute to the champions.

She stood over the bridge and as every car passed by, she counted every second. More determined than ever, she wanted to end it all, if she could only jump down fast from the bridge before anyone else could see her. One more time, she looked around, slowly she moved towards the edge of bridge and placed her right leg forward. As soon as she was about to jump, She noticed a beggar just behind the bridge who was staring at her.
"What are you looking at!?" She yelled. The beggar smiled and said: "I saw you and immediately recognized you so I came to thank you for yesterday, your coin saved my life!" The beggar exclaimed. Then she realized it was the same Beggar whom she had thrown her last coin to, as she walked pass the bridge the previous Day.
"You saved my life!"The beggar exclaimed.
Many years later, She is involved in charity works and putting smiles on peoples faces.
