@DefenseNigeria Why should be go where we were not invited? The Junta made it clear they were not fucking with us. Who knows if we were part of the setup that wanted to outs them.
Looking back at FC Barcelona's transfer policy towards Arsenal's talents in the 2010s, it is obvious they were just out to disrupt us rather than strengthen themselves. How many of our players were actually utilised by them? Hleb, Song, Fabregas, or even Thomas Vermalin
Who plays like this today? Genuine question, might be some but I find the โwingfielderโ type to be quite rare or at least those who do exist donโt play like this
@Ucheagalii@Tobielobba Very thoughtful. Those asking for him to bring his wife first. Wasn't he married in the first place when he had to take his fathers lifetime shavings. Talking about paying back. Is it same amount to travel then and now. He will be an ingrate if he does anything differently.
These clowns spent 22 years doing โtrust the processโ documentaries instead of lifting the Premier League trophy ๐
Then we handed them our best players Kai Havertz & Noni Madueke out of pure generosity to help them win trophies, suddenly they won the league title.
And what do we get in return? A basket full of insults. No thank you, no appreciation, nothing.
If we are being honest, Kai & Noni are the key players that help Arsenal secure their first league title after 22 years. Without them Arsenal will still be celebrating 2nd position as usual this season.
@TSAdedara My brother, I have been following your updates since you came to Akure, unfortunately we could not meet. God is your touch. Your light will not fade. I wish you absolute best, and I wish I receive favours too. My regards to your wife.
Someone managed a team for 27 odd years, yet he could not get a mentee to continue the good work. He might be a man manager, he was never a mentor of managers. END.
I wish I had seen this earlier but it's never late.....
When some football handles create some things and tweet, I laugh. You have easily fallen for the dummy these handles created.
I will not dive into Sir Alex Ferguson vs Pep Guardiola. It's never an argument because Sir Alex Ferguson is not anybody's mate. He is easily the Greatest Manager of all time
Let me correct some wrong assertions.
Enzo Maresca is Pep's protege? FALSE
Let me do a breakdown of Enzo Maresca's coaching career
Enzo Maresca after retiring in 2017, quickly moved into coaching.
He was assistant manager at Serie B side, Ascoli in 2017 under Fulvio Fiorin.
He moved to become assistant Manager at Sevilla in 2017/2018 season under Vincenzo Montella
In the 2018/2019 season, Manuel Pellegrini personally requested Enzo Maresca to be his assistant coach at West Ham United in the 2018/2019
In case you don't know, the biggest impact on Maresca's career is Manuel Pellegrini. I will still get there, let me complete Maresca's coaching career cycle
After Pellegrini was sacked in 2019, Maresca left despite being offered West Ham's job. He declined their offer because of a particular reason.
In 2020, Manchester City hired him as the manager of the Elite Development Squad. After a season, he left and moved to Parma
In 2022, he returned as Pep's assistant coach. In 2023, he was appointed by Leicester City and the rest is history....
Do you think Maresca was playing with his life when he moved into coaching immediately in 2017 after retirement?
Let's get back to Pellegrini's influence on Maresca
Enzo Maresca and Manuel Pellegrini share a deeply close mentor-protรฉgรฉ relationship, often described by Maresca as a "footballing father" bond.
Their connection spans back to 2011 when Pellegrini signed Maresca as a player at Mรกlaga and later hired him as his assistant coach at West Ham.
Pellegrini was the first person who convinced Maresca to pursue a career in coaching.
When Pellegrini was sacked in 2019 by West Ham United, Maresca had to leave despite West Ham offering him the job
He turned it down because, he can't take his mentor's job after he was sacked
Vincent Kompany
Kompany is Pep protege because he played under him? NO
Kompany played under Pep only for three years. Do you know how many managers Kompany played under before Pep - 14 managers.
Another name that sound familiar was part of this journey - Manuel Pellegrini
So, Kompany is not Pellegrini's protege but he is Pep's protege?
That is how they said Xabi Alonso is Pep's Protege because he played under him for two years
Every player that played under Pep suddenly becomes Pep's protege
You want to make Pep the alpha and omega of football.
And you mentioned Marcelo Bielsa having more influence on football than Sir Alex Ferguson
That statement is the biggest disrespect on Sir Alex
Who is Bielsa and what is his CV. He influenced some coaches you would say!
You will mention 20 great managers, Bielsa's name will not be among.
Sir Alex Ferguson is beyond influence.
Do you know what he turned Manchester United into?
