 Good afternoon and welcome back to the touch line. Lily Kwaku is an excited woman in the studio because she supports United and looking forward to their victory against Tottenham later on. It is a wait and see situation considering what United have been doing in terms of their performance, especially on Sunday against their rivals Manchester City. It was horrible show, but right now we get straight into discussion of what is Yamak to happen going forward. Jimmy Wajaki is joining us. Jimmy, good to see you man. How are you doing? I am doing very well. You alright? I am alright. After last week's win everything is good. City are winning it? We already have it. It's ours. Why? You guys seem to have been assimilated by United fans in terms of being extremely optimistic. Why are you sounding so ambitious? We are used to it. The pressure is what makes the league interesting. Now that you have one hand on it, the pressure for your team to keep winning. That's what makes it interesting now for City fans because everyone is looking forward to that next win. Coincidentally I am interviewing two City fans because Salim is also a City fan and looking forward to their defence of English Premier League title. Are you guys bugging it? We have already bugged it. We are just waiting for time to elapse. But then again as we were talking of we were saying most people are waiting for City to slip up. It's impossible for the reason that this will be the fourth title in the last five seasons. That's how good they have been so they know the pressure that comes with it. They are not going to lose it at this point in time. It's like the shark as they say has melted the blood. And Pep is so good and very cautious to an accident that you will not slip up during the remaining games because in case he does Liverpool are on the run. And that we cannot let that happen. I mean remember a few years ago when in December Liverpool are ahead of us by nine and then after beating them in our game we went on to beat them to the title by one point and Pep will not let that happen to him. The karma will not be good. Absolutely. And now that we are six points clear and I think Liverpool are playing Brighton today and Brighton are also not a pushover side. They are very good footballing side. So me and Jimmy are here but our fingers are closed. They get a draw there and then on Monday City win against Pallets. I think it will be eight points clear and now it will be Selavi to the title officially. Champions League football as it happened in midweek. I don't know whether it's an upset Paris and Germany 20 mani bags getting eliminated and now Messi and Arsenal both of them would be watching United from the comfort of their seat on TV. Alono Jimmy did you see it happening because Mardid came from behind because they were one gold down. Well I think that's that's what the the class comes in in the team and Real Madrid are used to it. Real Madrid have faced the pressure. They've won it I mean three times in a row which is a record. So they knew what they were coming in for then it wasn't going to be an easy game and they knew or rather even coming into the game the PSG fans and the PSG team were so confident that they already had this they they are mainly looking to just draw the game out but Real Madrid took it to them took it to them and very deservedly got it. Yeah absolutely. Karim Benzma, one of the underrated players scoring a hard trick that they to ensure that Karla Angelotti moves to the next stage in semifinal. I think he's one of the most underrated strikers in world football at the moment because and as Jimmy is saying three times in a row 13 times champions that's they are seasoned winners they are serial winners of the champions league they know they know when to up the ante and when to turn on the afterburners because against PSG PSG were the better side almost for for most parts of that game but when you when you have when you have Real Madrid you have players in there that look at Mardid and then he came to the party that very night these players have been there they know how to go about it it for them they they believe when you come to the knockout part of of champions league it's not a sprint it is a marathon because at some point they know they will get you with the quality in their side and that's just what happened and the sad part about the main undoing of PSG you talk about Mbappe, Neyma and Messi attacking wise they are three of the best trio in world football but when you're defending they're useless because they will never track back and there's now that overload because they cannot track back they are full backs who was Nuno Mendes and I think was playing in full back they are full back too they were overloaded entirely so it is a problem because when you going forward they are very perfect when they are defending they are completely out of the game so I think that was a main undoing and when you have Karim Benzema there it was only in our mat of time and you know what's the facts of Moriso Pochettino he's been in charge of PSG Jimmy and Kilian Mbaka has been blowing out and called in terms of staying or leaving Paris and Jamain now that they have been eliminated again like it was done last season you think they do or leave Pochettino from Mbappe to Madrid yes I think they'll both go however Pochettino to Manchester United I'm not really sure I don't okay for me I don't like him I think they should get 10 hog which will be a better signing and they should give the man time absolutely because Manchester United they'll give somebody a job after one year overnight success hashtag out out out you know but they shouldn't look for that give the man five years if anything is nothing yes just wait sit down to establish a project yes let him build his team slowly and he can get in Manchester United to the level of Manchester United should be absolutely you agree yeah and and also give him the opportunity and the freedom to sign the players he feels will fit his system because 10 hag you look at what the Dushan Tadich are doing in the in the area DVZ in Netherlands right now top top team and the way they are playing their football because he has he has hand picked those players because he knows they fit in his plan so I think that's as Jimmy is saying give the man time but man United they want this overnight success he doesn't you sign him today he doesn't win a trophy the same same season that is next to impossible because with a league that has teams as good as city and Liverpool yeah you cannot expect overnight success you've got to give this coach time and that's what is not happening at man United so I think for me when you're talking about Mbappe leaving there are rumors that he's going to be given a new contract at PSG you're going to be the highest highest highest earning play in world football for the last one point for the next even two years I see Mbappe looking for a financial muscles or he wants glory you see at some point even players leave clubs they are earning after the well to join where they can at least play football have some legacy and win something like champion's league what does Mbappe wants he has come to a point in his life in his career right now that he feels he's good enough to go toe to toe with some of the best teams in european football and when you're talking about real madrid it was the galacticos of european football they signed almost everyone we remember the Zidane the figures the becams at one point that's that's how galacticos how much are galacticos they were so I think he wants to put himself in that category because for team that has won it three in a row and 13 times there's no better team for you to go and test yourself against the best because as we have said they know how to win the champions league and Mbappe feels like he's good enough to win one so I think that's where his heart is at the moment and winning with the two clubs is different yeah winning it with PSG and real madrid the feeling is different the feeling is very real madrid you're part of the legacy you're part of the history now yeah and Mbappe wants that more than ever I think he he wants to never be forgotten as a footballer and if they've told him they can build the team around him at real madrid yeah that will even be a good choice and considering you know the air of christianon adnan linelmes is fading away and Mbappe was the next one alongside Neymar who is also going to come he's been inconsistent do you think now joining madrid will enable him to accomplish the mission yes I think madrid is the last step in his book and he's still young I think they can give him about five years and then with the rumors as they are in in Europe right now in the next two seasons real madrid will get the best free transfers any club has ever got since the beginning of time absolutely because they will have they will be getting champions league winners world cup winners all for free yes yeah and if even rumors have it even writer guys like mania are planning to go there and they already have one salary offer salah will go there probably and then with the likes of pobba going there to and then you still have venezia's junior and kamu vinga who are doing great things there the real madrid to come will probably be better than one of your previous ones yes yes it's like building a new benchmark when you've reached the benchmark you never think a team can get better and then real madrid shows you how it's done yeah and you can as a player as a player you can when you put yourself in bapi's bapi's head you're sitting in your mansion in in pari and you can imagine a real madrid of next season with let's say kasamiro and kama vinga then pocba has a 10 and then you have money you have harland probably if he goes there and then you have the venezia's junior you and then the bapi himself in that mix you've got to tell yourself i'll never get a better chance than this and it drives you to going there because that team in itself you don't have to do much you just have to turn on you after banners and score goals because it's a perfectly made up team so if rumors as jimia say again i'll write i think there is nothing that will stop bapi from going to to real madrid and talking about real madrid mo salla has rejected latest offer from liverpool though he has you know reiterated his commitment that you know staying at anfield despite the new offer getting turned down by the egyptian what does that mean going forward should we start you know imagining seeing a mo salla in a a different jersey except the red one i think he just wants you to concentrate on him now this mo salla is performing right now i think he wants people to be just concerned about that and besides if you are saying a new contract now if he was if he is to resign with liverpool he can get a better deal next year yeah absolutely because if he still continues performing his stock will go up they'll offer him a lot more wages they'll offer him better terms and they'll probably even give him the handband so being the captain for the team yeah so i think it's better for him to wait his time out because it seems that waiting is what waiting brings you once he's he's contacted with liverpool to elapsed yeah and it's almost coming down a lot better terms but when you look at mo salla as far as his career is concerned when he was a chelsea he never made it with morino even into the first team never came to the party as much as he believed in his ability never got enough chances so he went to roma where he made a mark and by him coming to england he has he has made a point already he has said i never used to play for chelsea doesn't that doesn't mean i was not good enough but he has he is one of the highest african gold scorers he has surpassed pokba as far as gold scoring is concerned so he has made his mark he has he's one of the highest scorers in the in a liverpool shirt so he has really really made a point that it's just as good as anyone so probably i'm i'm thinking from my side he might just want to move on to to a different kind of setup so that you know you can only know how good you are because i say ronaldo has done it in different leagues so you can say he's one of the gods of the game so you have to test yourself in different cultures of football just to know that how good am i so he might just again he's not sure but he might just move on to test himself and talking about ronaldo rafranik the categorical coach for united has said that you know he's likely to start tonight again a stoten arm and like what happened during months sardabi was not in action but ronaldo the current united is he ronaldo he watched jimmy is laughing but he's still good enough i believe that ronaldo is actually if not the best player in manu at the moment but then the problem with manu is everybody wants their own way everybody has been given that pedestal where they think they are the best everybody expects to be the best but they are still just not working out very inconnective as a team yes you have as they have been calling them individual clicks in the game and this is the first time i'm hearing about this in football i mean when do you hear that they are clicks in in a team that do not understand each other do not get along that shouldn't be and that's why manu is not going to win because they need everybody to work as one as one as a unit absolutely so you're writing them off ahead of the clash i yeah the game was over within 25 minutes so that's that's how good sometimes past can be so they nearly left to come to ever get whooped but okay we are talking about and people are taking this meme stufa people are saying they signed they wanted ronaldo but then they signed a ronaldo without an l now is a ronaldo from kino people are people are taking these jokes too far for a person that has made his mark in european football as one of the gods of the game you've got to have some respect for him and when you see sometimes when manu is waiting it will take time to get someone who will accomplish what ronaldo has done i think it will take ages right yeah and when we have to when you look at him he's still a human specimen the guy doesn't look like he's even aged that day that's he's seven that yes that's how well he has taken care of himself and when you look at united even when things are not going for them you can you tell yourself when ronaldo gets one chance he'll put it in the back of the net that's how good the lad still is so i think against antonio counti we know spas we know what he did to city he did to us they're the masters of sitting back and now because they have delia they have son and they have hariken they know the baguines of this world they know when they catch you on that counter they'll rip your part and we know manu you never know which side will turn up they might turn up and play well but then again they go ahead in the game and the game ends in adru and then you ask yourself what really happened so and against spas when you give with the quality they have in their side you give them that chance to go ahead they'll rip your part and i fear for united because if raf again doesn't get the team right out there it will still end in the same way it has been ending the kapas couple of weeks are we seeing a rejuvenated hariken upfront because lately it's been impressive and like how the season began when there was transfer fiasco surrounding east departure from totenham and it was being linked to several teams including march on the city and pep said that you know four times they tried signing him but it's there for still sale through are we are we seeing a rejuvenated hariken lately i think it's it's in general rejuvenated totenham because i mean yeah they are wounded animal now and playing in the european conference they wish they got knocked out i believe yeah so that is for them that is not where they should be considering doing the final of the champions league a few years ago and count is a serial winner so he's going to every game we need to win next year we're not winning this league however we have to play in the champions league and champions league spots are still open very open anyone can qualify for european elite club football yes i think he had the right conversation with hariken told him this is how it's going to be if you're a part of this club it does not matter where you are next season but in the duration of this season you need to prove that you are that guy top strike that is needed wherever you you're supposed to be and hariken has turned up and again is proving why he's one of the best strikers in the premier league yeah actually not in the premier league in the world in the world Antonio Conte can each change the fortunes are totenham yeah and and and i i think that's why we are talking about when you give this top tier top tier coach is a job in in any club you've got to give them the power to bring in the player they want you see now he has brought benta kaa and kulusheski yes these are players that he feels fit right into his system and they and you know Antonio Conte is he plays mafia kind of football you don't track back you don't defend even if you're a number nine and you see now what hariken hariken is defending from the front and that's that's what Antonio Conte wants you give your very best you'll always been starting 11 so i think he's a right man for the job and we just we hope that daniel levy the director at spas will give him the opportunity to bring in players he wants and just fuse his his way of play into into the spas team because we have seen him do it we've seen him do it at inter we've seen him do at juventus as jim is saying he's a serial winner so you give him the right tools for the trade and trust him is only a matter of time now that they start winning at least if not the the premier league they'll at least get the karabao cup so champions league return leg next week pitting at lethico and did against united you know linel mesi has already did goodbye to the competition can run out also for the suit i mean yes it was a one one during the first leg and no wiggles now the no wiggles now and united are playing at home yes so i mean can they build on the same probably if at lethico turn up yeah united are done but then like like selim was saying manu you never know who's turning up you never know what's going to happen it's even the biggest drama i remember can come and score a goal there win the match for them yeah and then just keep that clean sheet keep that defense locked down but then some days you you just don't know yeah and i'm worried i've i've been much more impressed with united when they're playing away from home than when they're playing at home i i don't know how that works you've seen jimmy time and time again when they are playing away from home they are much more comfortable side and this has not been said about united for the longest time but when they come it's just they become navi the defending is all over the place magua looks like the liability has he has been ever since he was signed so i think when at lethico with the likes of joao felix say karaskos of this world the koreas and one kondobi i think he was even rested yesterday so that he can be comfortable enough or fit enough yes in the likes of koke so if we we know at lethico they will defend better very well but they will get you and they want to get you so with a united that is blowing hot and cold men the two two of the great greatest players of the game are going to say goodbye to the champions so they are talking department orders revolts around joao felix not louis waris is aging and it is not getting ready for playing yeah and i think yesterday he also rested for for that very much he was injured he has just come back now so i think you can imagine a frontline of joao felix louis waris and uh and let's say anton grisman man united have have got to have had have their work count out here because again these are three players you know you go to sleep they'll pick you off max and this coming in the wake of you know transfer revelations surrounding some of united players makas rashford has already been told by rafranik that he can wait until the summer for him to leave the club if he is interested doing so arimaguaya has also been consistent with overwhelming pressure getting piled on the new category coach to drop him regardless of amband leadership how will this turn out i mean okay i think manu should now be at a point where next season at least half that team needs to live okay need to come building a build a new project but then even on the other side there's all the saying that for atletico that arsenal might be going in for joao felix so what will that do to his mentality he's coming into england to play in manchester so he'll probably want to prove a point to absolutely arsenal that he can perform in england so making him even more deadly for this game wow gentleman it's in a very insightful conversation on this particular platform talking about international football especially fixtures coming up and the headlines you know regarding what is expected to happen champions league football who is lifting it why keeping the favorite to lift it
