 Bugs Paris Saint-Germain in UEFA Champions League football. Good re-dance? Good relief? I mean, from a purest perspective, it would be sad for me to be happy that another player is injured in such a big game, PSG versus Manchester United. That being said, it will give us more opportunities in how we arrange the team defensively again. If you have Mbappe, you have Kavani, you have Neymar, that's a very attacking team right there. So, whoever they'll substitute Neymar with is again something tactical that social needs to come back and realize that we need to tackle this new system. They can decide to go for 4-4-2 whereby Mbappe and Kavani start up from together. They can decide Kavani to be by himself, Mbappe to be the second striker. It really depends on how they'll set up the game. For Neymar, unfortunately, if PSG don't go through, it will be a setback to him. And again, when the transfer window opens up again in July, it will be again a point whereby he needs to think really hard. Is it all about right now the money? Or is it me getting back to my champion's league days? Neymar, since he joined Paris and Jermaine from Barcelona, he's here to settle. Of course, he wanted an influential position, regular playing time at the camp, maybe sort of surpass what Lionel Messi has done, but the efforts didn't materialize, they hit a snag joining French league one. What has been his impact in French league? Do you think he's done the best to his potential? Neymar is a good reflection of the modern-day Brazilian footballer. It's like a generational curse. Brazil produced a generation that took Brazilian talent for granted. It started with Kaka and Robinu. And then now we can see Neymar perfecting it. I went to watch them at the Emirates Stadium in March 2010, Brazil v. the Republic of Ireland. And it was nil nil at halftime. Why? Not because Ireland was good, because Brazil was indisciplined. Kaka spent a huge chunk of the first half just throwing his arms in the air at the referee. Every single turn, Kaka, a very skilled player, very, very talented. Robinu pretty much the same. But when they came back in the second half, I think they had a serious pep talk at halftime, and they were told off. It was pure heaven. Everyone's jaw just dropped. Those guys came into the Irish box, and it's like they assassinated all those defenders, plashe given the goalkeeper. All of them were down. Brazil were doing magic. But then after that game, they went back to the Brazilian cast. Pele has spoken about this in no uncertain terms. There's a generation of Brazilians that's very talented, but they've taken that talent for granted. They come from a rich history of the most successful footballing nation on earth, ever. But they've taken that for granted. When you're very, very good, at times you take it for granted. That's why sometimes you find the guy who used to be number one in class and then somewhere along the way he just took his brilliance for granted. And you say, man, that guy was so bright. What happened? That's what's happened with Neymar. He hasn't achieved his full potential in French football because of that Brazilian cast that's come with this young generation of footballers who've got their eyes off the ball. They've got their eyes off the prize. They've taken it for granted. Actually, if I go deeper, even this thing did not begin with kaka. I beg your pardon. This thing began with Ronaldo the Brazilian and Ronaldinho. Remember, they grew fat. They put on so much weight after winning the World Cup and then winning, I think the Champions League, they took it for granted. Ronaldinho won the Champions League. Ronaldo never won the Champions League, but still they took their talent for granted. And they put on weight and they just got completely out of it. Out of shape, out of style, out of it. And then these young guys came and saw, oh, these are our role models. Look how they are behaving. Even us guys, we can behave like them and still win. Abduzo, in the FIFA World Cup that was staged in Russia and won by Le Bleu of France, Neymar Junior was accused of rolling activities such as diving. In his absence, now that is on the sideline for the upcoming 10 weeks and with the Champions League football, what do you think will replace him properly against Man United when the teams lock horns against each other I think in our weeks time. In his absence, probably, do you think it's such a huge blow to PSG? Yeah, it is. Of course, he's the best player in PSG. But now, you know, PSG is a big club. So, they are not short of replacements. Mbappe is there, he can actually utilize his full potential. You know, actually it's an advantage for PSG that neighbor is not there. Because that time other players will up their game. Somebody like Mbappe Kavani will start to shine. So I don't think it's going to be easy on Man United. There has been a problem at Paris Saint-Germain. I remember when it was later in Ibrahimovitch inside Edison Kavani media reported that they were not passing ball to each other. And even the same thing is being reported that Mbappe and Neymar are sort of isolating Edison Kavani and they are only targeting because it's about two of them. Now that Neymar Junior is out of action, do you think the partnership between Kavani and Workout? Ya, I think so. Because when you have a good player in your team let's say somebody like now today if you sign Messi everybody in your team will want to pass the ball to Messi. So that's what you expect. I don't blame Mbappe. He's trying to have a connection with Neymar but I'm not even saying... Is it because of the age? Not just the age, I think they like chuboting. And Kavani is an old school striker. He just wants to put every ball in the net. He doesn't have a lot of skills. He doesn't want to do things as compared to Mbappe and Neymar. That's Rujo? Ya, it is because if you think about it if you look at the all the strikers that we know right now and we can just say them on the top of our tongues Lewandowski Rui Suarez Runi before he became an attacking midfielder Drogba in his head Right now we are talking about Harry Kane There is natural center forwards No time to show boot You understand? Yes. Pass me the ball and let me put it inside the net The problem comes while creating the chances. As a striker you can't create all your chances by yourself. You can't goal and assist yourself. You need an assist. So these players who come in who we revel about Hazard, Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe, Neymar The modern day footballer has become a show boot You understand? They need to go back to the basics and I'm happy that some teams are actually teaching them that we have the basics like what Newcastle did the other day to Manchester City No more showboating anymore It's pure football and that's why these big teams 2 to 3 seasons these big teams will have a problem Not only in the transfer market even in their gameplay Mark my word Of course tomorrow is a Super Sunday man united against Leicester then cut and raising big game Of course pulsating clash Arsenal against Manchester City Someone was telling me that now that city was surprised by Newcastle getting beaten 2-1 I think Arsenal gonna have a long long evening tomorrow I was looking forward to probably leapfrog Liverpool as the league leaders Man united against Leicester Leicester, Arimagwea just equalized against Liverpool in midweek clash and do you think they will also sort of be obstinate to united now that you've denied earlier that there's nothing like reality check Well I think all said and done the game of the weekend is Gormaya Zamalek and we wish them well Gormaya that is Let me be very specific We wish Gormaya well Back to matters at hand Leicester is one team that has refused to die They do especially well against these big teams and they are daring and raring to go It's sad that they are not consistent because they would be much better placed right now than they actually are in terms of table standings but having said that they are going to put up a fight against Manchester United I have no doubt about that and I hope I say this impartially I hope they can be the first team to beat Manchester United This season under the new regime of Ole Gunasolshaia Why I'm saying so is because if there's a team that desaps to do that it's Leicester they lost the man who won them the Premier League they lost a colleague because he died with one of the members of staff from Leicester or his own personal members of staff and the pilot who was known to them and they lost these people in a very tragic manner So you kind of feel for them as a human being and you want them to have at least something to smile about to be the first guys who draw first blood on Ole Gunasolshaia so far but then again Manchester United have the best counter attack in the Premier League so far under Solshia they could hit you in the turn of 30 seconds boom boom boom there's something to look forward to but I hope Leicester win and then there's Arsenal who are playing Liverpool sorry they're playing Manchester City beg your pardon and there are I would seriously think Manchester City have an upper hand but they've been quite fragged coming from December the problem started in December with fatigue they have recovered point wise but game wise no they didn't recover they were still ragged and I think this week that's just been showed it they lost they've been winning by floking because they've been meeting opponents then they lost this time around now they're going to meet Arsenal Arsenal are unpredictable but I think Manchester City have an upper hand that's what I think let's talk about man united against Leicester we saw the squad that almost got complacent during midweek against Burnley Oleguna Solshia trying to use makeshift sort of line up of course in the mid playing Nemanja Matich, Paul Pogba alongside the new kid on the block Andres Pereira who made some sort of a blanda that cost them and even the goal was scored but upfront the partnership of Marcus Rashford the English international and Juan Romelu Lukaku is not working do you think this rotational sort of feeling line ups is going to cost the team and he has to stick to that upfront of Antoine Marcial Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard then if that is the case does Alexis Sanchez have the future at Old Trafford well I'm not sure about Alexis future but what I can say squad rotational is very important you know if you see if you look at successful managers like Pep Guardiola when he goes to any club the first thing he normally does is he tries to actually make all the players on an equal platform he doesn't want to see this is messy this is Aguero no what he wants to do is every player should be equal to the other if he misses Aguero Gabriel Jesus will just fit in but actually what the other clubs are normally doing they rely on one player for a long time then it comes when you really need him he cannot offer the services because he is injured now you bring somebody like Fernando you've seen what he has done he can have like 10 chances and score only one so that's the problem so I'm actually supporting Oleguna on the same issue because actually if you see the main problems with the managers including Mourinho he tries to play somebody for a long time and he doesn't want to consider the other people outside see somebody like Mata is a good game changer so there are games that you normally need him but Mourinho wasn't actually utilizing him Joe well for me first of all to the Arsenal fans I think we have a problem I sit here an impartial football pandit but last year Arsenal were ranked 6th richest club in the world this year they were ranked 9th and what you can tell me right now is that the only thing you can do is sign a player on loan your defense is a problem to win this premier league ball moves Klopp went out and spent 60 to 70 million quid on a defender you need to make these moves we're the best defender right now in the world arguably you need to make these signings Arsenal has the money you can't say you're still paying for the Emirates anymore you can't do that deadline day you're signing someone on loan and then tomorrow when Man City run riot on you you know we didn't do this whoever is dealing the director of football in Arsenal football club needs a rain check they need a defender not even to win the premier league let's even talk about the champions league now they are top 4 correct it's a matter of 2-3 points look at the big games coming up for Arsenal starting tomorrow not only am I angry that these guys are pulling down one of the most successful clubs in England is that they are doing it they want to live on Swiss it comes back down to what we're discussing just now the ownership of the club they take full responsibility for this because they keep the wallet you see it's not Unai Unai would want to sign me on but he doesn't have the wallet so he can only stress about it and his black hair, tan gray it wouldn't change a thing it comes down to the ownership of the club he's brought out a fantastic point Arsenal one of the biggest clubs in the world I think they have the biggest following here in Africa the best they can do surely is to get a player on loan on the last day of the open window that speaks volumes about the situation at Arsenal worldwide and of course as we speak about this particular several fixtures are lined up spas in a few minutes from now at 330 Brighton looking homes against Wadford Burnley would be looking forward to maintain what they did in midweek when they host Southampton Chelsea against Haddersfield probably after that four-nil demolition they would be seeking to bounce back and pick three maximum points Crystal Palace against Fulham which is not doing either well despite having made several acquisitions during the transfer including the guy you said is old that's a very good game I was going to be a good game good game that fix up between Crystal Palace and Fulham ever to play host to Wulverham to Nwanda against Bournemouth and speaking about Cardiff I mean Emiliano Sala was a very good striker at FC Nets it speaks volumes to when two clubs can come together and football can be brought together to such have a bad situation however at the same time we need to learn from these two tragedies one at least and now at Cardiff it shows that football is compassionate we all humans at the end of the day we wish the Cardiff faithful all the best going forward FC Nets also and all we can do is hope that wherever he is he's watching the game he's playing where he is with the angels and he's scoring the goals from fellow footballers Lionel Messi the fellow agent in trying to say that a lot has to be done to look for him and the search has to continue but Ronaldo I don't know whether you saw the tweet Gary Lineca getting mad at Ronaldo on that picture Ronaldo besides being our best player on the pitch he's a court case Kwanzaa do you think he's off the pitch is he best he has his own setbacks but what he did the selfie he took wasn't encouraging it wasn't encouraging especially during this time of trials I mean you want to build character look at a team like Leicester City they recalled one of their strikers on loan to offer to Cardiff that speaks character and volume as a football club, as a football community not taking selfies with a plane come on now you're supposed to be a role model CR7 as you speak right now very on our good friend the departed hero Dukobra is getting buried this particular weekend we continue sending our condolences a man who loved football, a man who loved life and he loved people he was a man of the people several message of condolences coming from all over part of the world to after his departure during that tragic attack that happened at Dusit and he's getting buried this particular weekend we continue wishing strength and fortitude to the family to those close relatives so that they can stand the big loss and the footballing nation of course we've lost a big big man who's probably void won't be filled anytime soon and it's high time now we wrap up man yeah you called Babel an old man when we discussed it Ryan Babel and now Fulham have signed him on he's about 32 33 let's see what the old man has in store for us he still plays for Netherlands at his age yes yes yes and he still dies at his age he's another fashionista you remember his days with Pinant Jamain Pinant all the flanks like 8 odd years ago 8 9 odd years ago alright man we have to wrap it up this has been the touchline on Y25 happening every Saturday 1 2 3 my name is Max Olwasik of course we do it alongside Robert Osoro thanks gentlemen for coming to Josaina Man United support and nowadays he's a happy man getting proud of Man United watching their teams oftenly and like during Jose Mourinho era Tyra Zwayaki is also an admirer he's here to declare the team his support but from how he does his panditry think he supports United right I don't know I have a fantastic idea let's do a Mexican wave starting with you go on come on don't be rigid like sorry don't be rigid like sorry ok you start it of course we like the touchline it's been a pleasure having you on board we do it next time
