Michael Carrick joins The Bloodline

🚨Aston Villa Head Coach Unai Emery on the six minutes of added time against Manchester United:

🗣️Unai Emery: “Of course I saw the six minutes. I looked at the assistant referee and asked, ‘Why six?’

He had no explanation for me.

I went back to my technical area and I was furious.

Then Manchester United get the corner in the sixth minute.

I see Lammens coming forward and immediately I am watching Suzuki.

I know what can happen when the goalkeeper comes into that situation.

But then I see Lammens standing directly in front of Suzuki.

He is not looking at the ball.

He is looking at our goalkeeper and he is blocking his movement.

Suzuki wants to move, but where can he go?

Lammens is on him and he has no proper space to react.

Then Dorgu attacks the ball and heads it into our goal.

I look across and I see Carrick celebrating.

Of course he celebrates. It is Manchester United and it is Old Trafford.

But I am looking at the referee because I cannot understand the decision.

I run towards the assistant referee and ask, ‘What about the goalkeeper?’

He tells me the goal stands.

I am thinking, ‘Okay, but what exactly did you see?’

Because we have VAR.

We have cameras, replays and different angles to look at these situations.

So I ask myself, how can VAR watch that and see nothing?

For me, Lammens clearly affects Suzuki.

He is not simply standing near him.

He is making contact and preventing our goalkeeper from moving normally.

Then Dorgu heads the ball and United get the equaliser.

I have to applaud the VAR room for such an incredible decision.

Maybe they have found a new interpretation of goalkeeper interference that I do not know.

Because if that is not interference, I would like someone to explain to me what is.

I am not angry because Manchester United scored.

If they score a clean goal, I congratulate them.

If Dorgu scores without interference, I accept it.

But when you have VAR, you expect the important decisions to be correct.

And this was the most important decision of the match.

We scored four goals at Old Trafford.

We were seconds away from taking three points from Manchester United.

Then, in the final seconds, this decision gives them a fourth goal.

Of course Manchester United fought until the end.

I respect that.

They brought energy, they brought belief and they refused to accept defeat.

But fighting until the final whistle does not change the rules.

If there is interference with the goalkeeper, it must be checked properly.

I would say exactly the same if Aston Villa scored that goal.

That is why I am so frustrated.

The six minutes were already a big question for me.

Then inside those six minutes, we concede from a corner where our goalkeeper is blocked.

You can imagine my feelings.

I looked at Carrick celebrating and I understand why he was celebrating.

He is doing his job.

Dorgu is doing his job.

But the officials have another job.

Their job is to make the correct decision.

And tonight, I do not think they did.

We came to Old Trafford knowing it would be difficult.

We scored four goals and showed enough quality to win the match.

Manchester United came back, and I give them credit for that.

But we should not lose control of the result because of a decision like this.

For me, the most incredible thing is that VAR had the opportunity to correct it.

They had the replay.

They had the angles.

They had the time.

And still, they said the goal should stand.

So yes, I am angry.

I am disappointed because four goals away from home should mean something.

But I am especially frustrated because the final moment was not about football.

It was about a decision.

Tonight we leave Old Trafford with one point.

Manchester United will celebrate because they fought until the end.

I respect that completely.

But if you ask me whether I believe that equaliser should have stood?

No.

Absolutely not.

And I think everyone who watches that replay carefully will understand why.”

You were a disaster for Sports in Anambra State as Governor. All of a sudden you are the greatest lover of sports.

No infrastructural development. Athletes were denied their allowances. They had to beg to survive. The state performed poorly at the National Sports Festival.

Now the President should wait his turn while you pose with the World Cup? Lol. Because you are the World Champion for Victim Politics.

Of the 12 States President Tinubu said he would visit, Akwa Ibom and Jigawa weren't there. But the President had visited Akwa Ibom and he has just arrived Jigawa State now. He dribbles the opposition like Messi and shoots his kicks like Ronaldo!

This is not the best time to be an opposition in Nigeria!

This woman who sells food beside our office bought a Toyota Corolla worth ₦9 million last week.

As usual, she packed food and sent it across to our office. Out of the 23 packs she brought yesterday, only five of us bought.

Some of the other staff, mostly senior colleagues, were wondering how an ordinary food seller could afford a ₦9 million car within just two years of starting her business.

Her food goes for ₦4,000 per pack.

In our office alone, she sells an average of 25 packs daily. That’s ₦100,000 in daily sales from just one office.

Our Dean’s monthly salary is not even up to ₦500,000.

This food seller makes close to ₦3 million in monthly sales.

The president and first lady will not play to the gallery. Going to the airport to want to see the girls (Flamingos) is playing to the gallery. The build-up to winning this game is what is critical... The president made personal calls before, during, and after. Those calls are more important than after the victory...

“The plane landed at 5:30 a.m. It was still very dark. No local flight was checking in at that time. Even if they were checking in, there was no way Obi would have seen those children from where he was at the local airport,”
