 But as for Lingard, Bruno Fernandez in a recent interview said in the past 10 games he's been the best player in the Premier League. He said so? Yeah, Bruno said so. He's been having returns in all the games. He's been scoring goals and he's a key player for Western. How do you need to know that you are the best? You need to hear from people saying about yourself. No, Bruno said Lingard is the best. Oh, Lingard is the best. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because he had been watching him. He said in the past 10 games he had been the best because as we've all seen, in all the past games since he went to Western, he's been scoring goals, he's been creating, he's been the most influential player and he's been getting 90 minutes, something which he could have gotten at United because the competition at United at the moment is so, so wide because we are seeing quality players still on the bench at United. This move for Lingard was the best thing for him because he showed he's still a class player and it's also helped him go back to the England setup. I think we will see him in the Euros. It's a move that has really benefited both parties and United can get some money off him if he really wants to leave and if only doesn't want him. They can get 30-40 million off him. Just like how we've enquired local players, besides playing on the pitch, they should also invent something else on the side to do so that in the event football goes haywire, they have an alternative. You see yes Lingard now good in the kitchen showcasing his exploits and I know it's good for the growth of any career personality because we've seen how the likes of Rio Ferdinand, Paul Scholes, Michael Owen, Alan Shearer are you know he and Wright, when they quit football they are doing Pantite on TV and it's getting along very well for them. Actually what Lingard is really sharp, he's really really sharp and he's made me look at him from a very different perspective right now. Given his celebrity status I mean you're not the only celebrity that perhaps surpasses us footballer in the UK is Rockstar. Lingard is now, he can use, build on that status of his celebrity status to go on and start a cookery show and there's cookery magazines that sell like Hotcake in the UK. He can also have a column there or something in future retirement time and because this is not something that would affect him, his contract he cannot get injured while cooking or writing an article about cooking. He can even start it now and build on that and make lots and lots of money out of it. So yes you're right to mention the business angle of it. It's a very serious perspective and it's become so big on TV. There's a Kenyan rugby player or is he a former rugby player? Dennis Ombachi. He's been doing it on Twitter and now he's doing it on television on one of the TV stations. I think alongside Colin Sinjera. You say he's a carpenter and what not. He's a carpenter, he makes, I thought that was a sego. No it's Dennis Ombachi, former player for the National Sevens team. From old wooden materials and creating a very fantastic product from the same table, nice chair and he's also good at cooking. And you see those are things that attract a very important segment of the business sphere, women. Women invest heavily in such things, outdoor furniture, interior furniture, cooking. And they are a very vital important segment. They've got the money, they've got the numbers, they are opinionated and their opinions are strongly count for a lot. So once you venture into that area, especially using your celebrity status, my friend, you're talking serious money here. It's quite booming. Now let's get into the business of matters international football and in terms of headline. UEFA Champions League football pitting old English Premier League sites Manchester City and Chelsea and old English final affair that was supposed to happen in Istanbul. Now getting moved to Portugal. How is that panning along for these two teams because you know, Turkey and going by the surge in numbers of COVID it's one of the red zones for England. There are for fans can travel there to watch their respective teams lock horns against each other. Can it in any way determine the outcome of the game getting moved from Turkey to Portugal? I don't think so because both teams will still be at a neutral venue. The fans will still have to travel but for COVID safety it was very crucial for that, for the players and the fans and the journalists to be in a place where they won't be really exposed to COVID. But it's a huge loss for Turkey. For now the second time they've lost the Champions League final again. In terms of revenue collection. It's like Kenya losing the WLC in me. It will hurt the country so bad. We can't be certain it will be pushed to them again next year because we are not sure how the situation will go. Lockdowns are getting called and everything. It is sad for Turkey but I'll still expect a quality final in Portugal. We saw last season also in Portugal the final eight teams and we saw a lot of quality buy and PSG and that's what we'll get. Manchester City vs. Chelsea will never be a dull affair. We saw in their recent game it was explosive. We did with that game though. It was explosive with var, madness and goalkeepers and everything. It was just a great game and I think we'll still get a quality game regardless of the venue. That game of course he was talking about played last weekend on Saturday evening ending 2-1. 2-1 times. In terms of Chelsea contrary to expectation does it in any way set the bar in terms of what we expect to win the Champions League. And remember just before that they had met in the FA Cup semi-final and that was about two or three weeks before last Saturday's game and obviously Chelsea won 1-0. Still that slim goal of... So Chelsea has dominated against that goal difference. Yes, it's very difficult to beat a team twice in quick succession and then now here they are clashing in the UFA Champions League final. Another massive encounter. A battle of managers. Guardiola saying from last Saturday's beating that he has now worked out the formula to beat Chelsea. Chelsea on the other hand are looking very, very serious. Very, very serious. I mean you write off Chelsea at your own peril. I got a text message from my brother last Saturday. He said, what do you think of today's game, Manchester City, Chelsea? I told him, I think it will be a draw. I don't see City losing and I don't see any way. And then I ask him, what's your take? And he goes like Chelsea. And I'm the punit of the family. So I sit down and then in the very last minute boom Chelsea win and my prediction is I mean I lose. So I mean I'm not joking to Kel. I'm not joking with Chelsea anymore. These guys mean the business. Mount Water and Clash expected to happen in Portugal. Of course in the UFA Champions League, football, Chelsea up against Manchester City. Just counting down a few weeks from now as we speak, right? One and a half weeks on the 29th of May. It's going to be a great affair. That game should have been played in England. This gentleman is right. But the game should have been played in England. No, no, no. I think... Is that not what you said? No, no, no. I think regardless of the... In England it will water down the quality of the game because it's sort of, you know... We already saw it at Wembley three weeks ago. Because the issue of funds, remember, 10,000 funds had been allocated tickets, is it? 5,000 for each team. Now the logistics of them travelling to Portugal, is it Portugal that has now been given the rights to host the final? The train... Sorry, train. The air tickets to Portugal have been hiked. They've been hiked. Now, I mean, football, you're trying to make football more accessible as it is respective for how few the fund base might be. But even in this new normal times that we're living in, you need to have funds and it would have been cheaper for them to go to Wembley and watch the game from there. You have to factor that in. And then now, even if the tickets had not been hiked, there is the issue of them travelling there and you're trying to avoid air travel in these times of COVID. What they bring back home, you just never know, we in such unpredictable times really in the interests of football. Personal views, but they are respected. May be whatever you, but your sleep football did is in the best interest of overall football. Anyway, away from matters that, because if we start discussing about the technical aspect of the game, Tairas may take one hour just giving and sharing his insights on the same. Let's talk about Edinson Kavani and how heroic he has been for man United scoring and banging in goals day in day out and that has earned him contract extension at Old Trafford until 2020. 2022 with an option to extend to 23. With an option to extend. How is that going along for Uruguayan international? I think most of the United fund base love Edinson Kavani because he's a hard worker aside from being a golf scorer. We see him chasing back and also the type of goals he scored are United have lacked a striker with that kind of movement and that kind of ability in the box for a very long time. I know Anthony Masial is there, but he blows hot and cold. Not consistent. They are not consistent and like if you want a top striker, you look at Llandosa, Guero, those guys on form the game after game and having Kavani there now with Greenwood still being mentored by him it is great for man United and that will help them next season if they really want to charge for the title. Definitely. Your thoughts on Kavani extension at United and considering how United has been having problems at getting number 7 and now he looks like he's settling in very well. First and foremost let me wish good luck to the lady teams meeting tomorrow in the UFA Champions League women's version that's FC Barcelona and Chelsea FC. Chelsea are the first side in Europe to have both men and women teams in the finals of the UFA Champions League so that's kudos to them and Mr Tukel is doing a good job as the overall manager of the club. Kavani brilliant idea to have him on board because he's the perfect tonic for Manchester United he has gelled into the team pretty much like Fernandez did very quickly and that's what Manchester United needed urgently he is scoring goals he's attacking consistently he's creating chances and he's a perfect role model for the young crop of players who are coming through I wasn't surprised when that contract was extended it was the right thing to do the fans were pushing for it they've got it it's a brilliant thing and I think next season will be a wonderful season to look forward to although I think Chelsea might win it next season or am I jumping the gun? still talking about international football headlines Antonio Valencia he played very well during his heydays at United as a right back and at some point now being placed on the flank front at number 7 and now he announced retirement from football officially and what do you remember about the Ecuadorian? I just remember him being captain in the last season because I feel as a right back his most profitable stint at Manchester United when he came he had the 7 jazzy he sort of fell in that 7 class that jazzy has been it was hard for him to perform but he switched the jazzy even when he was playing as a winger you can remember him just hitting the ball chasing it he was more of a damachraori type but with less muscle he hits the ball he had been a great servant for Manchester United those players that Saalex kind of bought at almost the end of his tenure guys like Dehaia, Young, Valencia they served the club really well at Man United Valencia went back home to Ecuador and still had an okay career he's now retired after a great season you retire after playing for Manchester United you'll always be considered a legend and quite unfortunate that he didn't win any silverware with his national team equed as far as international elite football competition prizes are concerned because just like this player who plays for Bayern Munich and he comes from this small and non-country Robert Lewandowski is just a good example he plays for Poland as his national team but it's very hard to win our cup this national team titles euros with a team like Poland because maybe you are this turned out player alone coming from that team and I think that was it can be said of Valencia with Ecuador definitely you can see him on your screens they are giving you a thumbs up he's given his best to Sokka he's been a wonderful servant he's done well at United when he was there you remember I told you one the guys I used to watch Sokka Manchester United fan by the way used to refer to him as Piki Piki because he was like a moped on that pitch kicking the ball as Ken has just said and then chasing hard after it he was brilliant not the most brilliant in terms of skill but brilliant in terms of determination that commitment he was one guy you could depend on and you want players that you can depend on as for his country being able to win any silverware that is expected yes we have seen on the odd occasion underdogs like Greece win the Euro Cup which they did in 2004 but that's a once in a lifetime thing it's not something that happens every other time so you couldn't have expected the guy to do so well with his country even Lewandowski you don't expect him to win the euros with Poland in fact for them qualifying for the euros just essentially that's an added incentive even for the World Cup that's an even bigger incentive and if they go beyond the group stages then they become one of the teams that will be remembered in that tournament not for winning but for going beyond that group stage against the bookmakers predictions so there won't be anything hard on him for that but for him playing for his country that's a good thing it brought Ecuador on the map there's people who've never heard of Ecuador but because of him they were able to hear of Ecuador and know that Ecuador plays football so that's a wonderful thing I wouldn't hold anything against him for that there've been bigger names who've played for bigger national teams but they didn't win any silverware to talk of so really let's remember him more for his service to Manchester United just a few minutes remaining before we wind up the show before we do big game coming up this particular evening FF final pulsating class Chelsea up against Leicester of course four years reasons I'm rooting behind Leicester because if even Chelsea wins this it will give them much needed motivation and morale even to lift the Champions League title and you know Chelsea winning a double this season man it's ridiculous especially for someone like myself who got some soft spot for United though obviously my team is nothing I'm a forest figure in the championship so Ken where you placing your bet Chelsea because I feel like they've really improved defensively and also these two they play each other two times in a matter of five days and both of them are really crucial one is a final and one is whoever loses Liverpool can overtake them to get into the top four Liverpool or West Ham so these are two tough games for both teams and no one is going to go easy on each other there are two finals for two teams and Chelsea are they have the most entertaining end to the season in the Premier League because they have the Champions League final they still have a battle for the top four and now they have an FA Cup final but I just see Chelsea taking home the trophy do you think there is a likelihood that Thomas Tuchel might feel a fringe squad against Leicester in order to keep most of his influential players strong and fit ahead of the Champions League final or he doesn't want to take a risk no chance how often do you well they got to the FA Cup final last season but how often do you get a second chance in life they lost the last FA Cup final now they've got a second chance to streamline things though a bit inexperienced last time now they are a bit more experienced I think Tuchel won't leave anything to chance they are going out full throttle for it and I actually fancy their chances of winning it just like Ken here the reason why I do so is because Chelsea at the moment are playing the game of their life they are really really really playing they are playing like you cannot believe technically they are so strong they are the best team in England technically right now and one of the best in Europe that's why they are in the final of the UFA Champions League and that's why they are perhaps even favourites to win the UFA Champions League and obviously apart from technically upfront they don't have an obvious natural number nine like they did but men they are scoring in those goals so for me right now it's got to be Chelsea one thing less to have failed to do consistently this is on is work on their weakness of coming in strong like Manchester United in the second half as opposed to playing the full 90 minutes and trying to win a game in the first half Chelsea will capitalise on that make no mistake about it Chelsea played 90 minutes they will play the first half they will play the second half like they didn't even play in the first half I think Chelsea have a much higher chance of winning this one but if Leicester polish up and play in the first half like they can and remember they've got a fantastic striker right now in Kalechi Ihenacho and Jamie Vardy is consistent through the years then they can put on a show but I had one of the funds on the streets on my way here saying it will go all the way to penalties I'm not sure about that but I think Chelsea will win the final whistle is blown Chelsea up against Leicester happening this particular evening at 7.30 APM East African Time Live and Exclusive on our mother's station KBC Channel 1 hashtag FFINOLIKOKBC keep tweeting and keep sending in your predictions but also remember about our question when we started the program who are the current holders of English Premier League of course the response is obvious Liverpool are the current champions of English Premier League because Manchester City as we speak right now yes they have been formally you know not necessarily title getting handed to them but they have been declared the champions after you know that laws of united against Leicester but the title has not been handed to them officially and the league is not yet formally concluded so the current league holders are Liverpool I'm going by the responses on my timeline of course plenty of responses coming in through this man called Joseph Fatikimayo Kogo Liverpool are the current champions of EPL 19th stroke 20 they won the season by having 99 points they are yet to hand over to the winners of 2020-2021 champions watching live from Kitale he even gave his phone number ending with 217 think that is our winner quite a conclusive response Ken City don't have the trophy yet but I think for a united fund that's not a question why not to answer whoever just answered because united Liverpool rivalry that's why you guys played a weak side against Leicester so that you can deliberately lose in order to quash Liverpool chances of finishing in top photo qualify for champions league football next season I think if that was what only did I think that's that was in order they don't really have anything to play for but Liverpool responded in style beating united 4-2 in a game that united looked so clumsy that was a bit of a shock because Liverpool are not at their strength full strength they are at their weakest really and they have done quite well they are still contesting for a top 4 finish but they are not the Liverpool last year bit of a shocker but united fans are saying now they value Maguire because they can feel his absence when he was on they didn't quite value him I don't know we have a united fan here he can tell us are you a united fan I don't think it's just about they were just sloping that game so it's not Maguire it's not attributed to absence of any player united it was not their day against Liverpool that day of course that comes to the end of the program of saturday today being when today is 15th and of course we are next saturday same time same place keeping it touchline and of course keeping it sporty talking matters headlines
