This is the same guy who apparently has attitude issues and destroys dressing rooms. See how his Barca teammates speak about him. Same at Aston Villa, England and United. God knows where the "bad energy" lie came from but you people who parrot it are so useless.
I feel sad when we African football journalists are bribed with small favours like trips and small gigs to defend FIFA and help spread propaganda nonsense that Infantino plans to sell World Cup stake is a good move.
FIFA officials are sending African journalists crafted messages to try and water down the the impact of the World cup issue with shallow explanations.
You can see the same messages being amplified on social media.
They know how cheap we are once we are promised trips and small favours.
Can they send the same to European journalists?
Indeed hunger is a crime nowander they dont respect us.

EXCLUSIVE: Spoke to four senior CAF figures who explain Africa's current position on Infantino WC idea:
✅️ CAF were not aware of Infantino's idea until it hit the media
✅️ Initially, members wanted $20m deal. Then things changed.
✅️ CAF not interested in choosing sides.
✅️ CAF leaning toward non-alignment: will NOT boycott Fifa competitions, neither will they follow Gianni. For now.
✅️ Uefa and Fifa are fighting over $$ and control. Any decision taken must position Africa to get more of both.
Chelsea have been fined by the FA and received a suspended transfer ban after the current ownership self-reported breaches of transfer rules between 2009 and 2022 🚨
How can anybody make art for people that are so self-absorbed and problematic? 😂😂😂😂😂 Just faux social concern and discusstibation disguised as intellectual discourse. 😂😂😂
There's no way Gbajue PeakMilk wasn't rolling in his bed last night, cussing out UEFA & CONCACAF.
E go don dey one side dey calculate how e go dagger that 40M USD.
The allocation of banana island apartments for like 6 baddies, have definitely been impacted.
The funniest part is that Lacroix and Calafiori arrived in the Premier League in the same year.
One joined Palace.
One joined Arsenal.
Yet somehow the Palace player ended up winning 3 trophies, while the one who joined Arsenal has just 1 to his name.
So if anyone has earned the right to talk about winning, it's probably him.
Because if Lacroix doesn't know a thing or two about winning, he'd be wearing an Arsenal shirt instead.
To whom it may concern:
Tyla has finally removed the Dec 22 Lagos date from her official A*POP World Tour schedule. So the highly talked-about concert in Lagos has been cancelled.
The compromised bastards in Nigeria who are eager to watch her can go to Cape Town and see her.
If xenophobic animals from your country are murdering Nigerians and you say nothing about it, Nigerians also have a right to boycott your show. If others cannot come to your own country to work and make money, you should also not go to other people’s country to make money. It is that simple.
Burna was issued a warning; threatened to be killed years ago if he ever stepped foot in SA over his stance against AKA’s xenophobic stance. what did you all do about it? Instead you crucified your own. We did absolutely nothing.. They didn’t care. He took it like a gee; moved on and still became a global star. You all forgot ?
But my Nigerians will rather blame people that suddenly take a stance on an artiste that come from a country that constantly desecrate on your national identity and treat Africans in the most inhumane way. Nigeria is the republic of docile and complacent people. We only know how to blow grammar
Amaju Pinnick will see $40m on the table and he will not take it?
Even you will laugh at the thought of him rejecting it 😂😂😂
Dude will jump at the cash even before they ask him to sign the dotted lines.
Now imagine how many Amaju's are running FA's in Africa.
First of all, JESUS!
Secondly, how do you look at this comp and say Mourinho ruined him?
This is literally a regista with so much flair, flamboyance and dribbling that allowed him get into 10 zones.
Mikel was neither a heavy carrier nor a volume shooter. Mikel played in a midfield that had workhorses like Essien, Lampard and Ballack, and if he wanted to roam forward he had enough legs to cover for him, but he didn't have a nose for goal. He didn't score a lot and so couldn't play close to the striker (1 goal in this tourney against Switzerland was a PK). Neither did he have the relentless engine to be a box to box.
He was a metronome. And from this comp you can see his game was built around control, ball retention, evading opposition press, opening up passing lanes and dictating tempo. Which was why Mourinho usually threw him into matches when it became end to end and he wanted to regain control.
You can claim Mourinho ruined him, but I'd rather Mourinho was a visionary who saw where football was headed and profiled him correctly because this is literally a Rodri, Busi, Jorginho with more flair. Or a Paul Pogba with less carrying and shooting but with better ball security.
In a tournament that had Keisuke Honda, Quincy Owusu, Ibrahim Afellay, Ryan Babel, Burak Yilmaz, Nabil El-Zhar, Albiol, Juanfran, Llorente, David Silva, Fabregas, Zabaleta, Garay, Gago, Messi, Aguero, Freddy Adu, Rodallega, Falcao, Guarin, Ospina, Graziano Pelle, Rafinha, Filipe Luis, etc, as some of the players who eventually went on to have big careers, you can't count more than 10 of them that had a better career than Mikel.
In fact, only Messi, Aguero, Falcao, David Silva and Fabregas rank higher.
PS: Romeo Lavia, my God will not forgive you for selling me dreams and disappearing 😭
This is how you know Lewis Hamilton is doing well in F1, they’ve gone back to comparing him to other drivers over nonsense like this.
There’s an F1 photographer who has complained that Lewis deliberately avoids being seen in the paddock, making it harder to get photos of him.
For somebody who is standing to be London's next Mayor, you would surely know the Port of London Authority, Canal & River Trust and Thames Water are in control of London's waterways, not Sadiq Khan.
Not that terribly long ago Martyn Ziegler broke the story about the European Super League too.
Kids get giddy about the likes of Ornstein and Romano but that is tabloid nonsense compared to real journalism.
Ziegler is THE most important sports journalist in the world.
