"Strip away the set pieces and penalties, then let’s talk about their actual open-play production."

When I see statement like this, it makes me think we have lost something about the beauty of football.

Do we even appreciate the different arts that exist within the game anymore?

Have you heard of "Bend It Like Beckham?"

David Beckham was arguably one of the greatest crossers and free-kick takers of his generation.

He earned that moniker 'Bend it like Beckham' because of that

Then there was:

Dennis Bergkamp’s first touch

Zinedine Zidane’s roulette

Ronaldo Nazário’s stepovers

Ronaldinho’s elastico

Juninho’s knuckleball

Rory Delap’s long throw

These are arts, they were weapons.

Players mastered specific techniques and used them to create advantages, carve open defences, create chances and score goals.

That is what makes football beautiful.

The game is dynamic. There are different ways to hurt an opponent.

You don't have to be elite at everything.

Sometimes, mastering one specific aspect of the game can make you special.

Claude Makalele was so good that the DM position was named after him - The Makalele's Role

The fact that Declan Rice and Bruno Fernandes have mastered the art of delivering set pieces does not make them limited footballers.

And when you talk about "open-play production", do you think these players don't participate in the team's football?

Do you think they simply stand beside the corner flag for 90 minutes waiting for a free kick or corner?

They contribute to build-up, progression, chance creation, pressing and attacking play.

The problem is that we have started boxing football into one particular definition of what a "good player" should look like.

If you don't play a certain style, you are not good.

If you don't add certain numbers, you are limited.

If one aspect of your game is your greatest weapon, people use it against you.

We have even reached the point where people talk down goals because of how they were scored.

A goal is a goal.

A beautifully worked team move is beautiful.

A 30-yard free kick is beautiful.

A perfectly delivered corner is beautiful.

A header from a set piece is beautiful.

A goalkeeper launching an attack with a long distribution is beautiful.

Football is not supposed to be one-dimensional.

Bruno Fernandes
Declan Rice
David Raya

Ayone who wins the PFA award is deserving

Set pieces are not a shortcut

They are arts

"THE HISTORIC HAJJ TRIP OF ALHASSAN DANTATA

The first prominent Nigerian to perform the Hajj by sea was The Emir of Katsina Muhammadu Dikko in 1921.

The second was Alhaji Alhassan Dantata, reputed to be the wealthiest man then in the West African sub-region. The richest Black man in the world today, Aliko Dangote is his great-grandson.

On 1/4/1927, Alhassan Dantata left Kano with the following entourage:

1. Abdullahi, his eldest son
2. Yusuf, his younger brother
3. Adamu Bagwanje, his in-law
4. Bashari, his in-law
5. Abubakar, his in-law
6. Barau, his in-law
7. Abdulmumin, his in-law
8. Malam Madu, his close friend
9. Malam Adhama, his close friend
10. Abubakar, his servant
11. Balarabe, his servant
12. Malam Abubakar, his teacher
13. Malam Umaru, Babban Malami na Madabo, his teacher
14. Abdullahi, representative of Emir of Kano Abdullahi Bayero
15. Malam Usman Kambari, his uncle and teacher.

The entourage left Kano by rail to Lagos, then drove to Tema, Gold Coast (Ghana).

On 7/4/1927, they left Tema and arrived Liverpool port, United Kingdom on 21/4/1927 after 14 days at sea. They were received on arrival by officials of the Department of Colonial Affairs as well as Alhaji Alhassan's business partners (London and Kano Commercial Company). They rested at a comfortable lodge at Liverpool for one day.

The team left Liverpool and arrived London on 22/4/1927. King George V, father of Queen Elizabeth the Second (the princess was only one year old then) granted them a royal reception and accommodated them at the Buckingham Palace for two days.

They left London on 24/4/1927 for Marseille, France. They rested there for several days.

They left France by sea and arrived Cairo, Egypt on 7/5/1927. The following day, they left Cairo for Port Tawfeeq, Egypt, boarded a ferry and arrived Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where they rested for two days.

On 16/5/1927, they put on their white shroud (ihram), left Jeddah for Makkah riding camels. On arrival, they performed Umrah even before lodging. An account says on sighting the Holy Ka'ba for the first time, Alhaji Alhassan broke into tears of joy, having fulfilled his life's ambition.

He donated a substantial amount of money to the Saudi authorities to assist in maintaining the Holy Mosque. He also made a grant to AIN ZUBAIDA, a charitable organization responsible for supplying drinking water to pilgrims and helping the needy.

After completing their Umrah and resting for 15 days at Makkah, they left for Madinah, a journey that took them two days. They visited the Holy Prophet's Mosque for one week, then returned to Makkah to await the time for the Hajj proper.

After completing the Hajj, Alhaji Alhassan asked for a list of all Nigerian pilgrims who had no means of returning home. 430 stranded pilgrims were identified and he paid for the passage of all of them.

The entourage returned to Madinah where Alhaji Alhassan assembled teachers and scholars at the Holy Prophet's Mosque for fervent prayers and Quranic recitation, after which he distributed charity to the needy. They left Madinah for Jeddah.

On 25/6/1927, they bade farewell to Saudi Arabia, left Jeddah by ferry to Port Tawfeeq, Egypt then drove to Alexandria in North Egypt. Then they left by sea to Marseille, France and proceeded to Liverpool, UK where they stayed for nine days conducting business transactions.

On 20/7/1927, the pilgrims left Liverpool and arrived Lagos, Nigeria on 5/8/1927, after 16 days at sea. They rested a few days there.

The entourage arrived Kano by train safely on 11/8/1927, concluding a journey of faith they started from 1/4/1927 to 11/8/1927 (131 days). In today's parlance, one would say they traversed Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Ghana, Atlantic Ocean, Canary Islands (Spain), Madeira (Portugal), UK, English Channel, France, Egypt, Red Sea, Saudi Arabia (a minimum of 10 countries & 3 seas).

May Allah have accepted their gigantic sacrifice by rewarding them with al-Firdaus, along with us too, amin."

ISLAMIC WAYS TO GET RICH

1. Istighfar → The Magnet for Provision
Nuh (as) told his people: Seek forgiveness and Allah will send you rain, wealth, and children.
Spiritual blockage = Financial blockage.
Istighfar clears the "pipes" so blessings can flow again.

Today, three honors have gathered together at once:

• The best days of this dunya → Dhul Hijjah
• The best day of the week → Friday
• And within it, the blessed hour in which du’as are accepted.

Ask Allah for impossible things. This is not an ordinary Friday.

If you are having a very difficult time overcoming sins (whatever it maybe), no matter how matter how many times you’ve tried to refrain but failed…

Here are TW0 advice that will change everything

[H’s mom @aiishadahir]

Reciting Surah Mulk before going to sleep will save you from the punishment of grave. Imagine a surah spreading its wings like a flock of birds to save you. Now imagine you share it & one person acted upon this, What on earth could be more preserving than this? سبحان الله

[H’s mom @aiishadahir]

I used to think Fajr alone would fix my finances. I prayed. I made duʿā. I stayed consistent. And yet… rizq still felt tight.

Until I learned what the Prophet ﷺ actually did after Fajr.

[H’s mom @aiishadahir]

You pray five times a day?
But do you know there’s a moment inside the prayer where your duʿa is never rejected?

And it’s not in sujood. This Ramadan, don’t waste that moment.

[H’s mom @aiishadahir]

SubhanAllah… today I read something that will change how you experience Ramadan forever.

Imagine a deed so sacred, so intimate that Allah hides its reward even from the recording Angels.
