 Good afternoon and welcome back to the touch line and why to perform Max Horazika is my name this week Sergio Ramos announced his football retirement with Spain, remember he's been an integral figure of the Spanish national team Tiras, how do you make up such an announcement, big blow or the upcoming talents to fill his void? Maybe big blow for Spain but for me my respect for Sergio Ramos died on the night when he intentionally fouled Mo Salah In the 2018 UFO Champions League final and he almost made Mo Salah miss out on the World Cup I lost respect for him but good luck to him, he's been a very committed player to have for Spain All the best to him, that's all I can say Soro yourself, what do you remember Sergio Ramos for the remarkable thing he's ever done? I think one career he has had as a defender, I think it's title will be a real bucket I think 2002 joined Madrid early 2002, all the time he has played for Madrid until left for PSG The accolades that he has won as a defender, I think five Champions League titles, the World Cup, the European Everything as a player he has got it, the thing is that he was not happy with the retirement I think the new coach had to send him a mail and called him and told him that he is noting his plans for the future for Spain So it was not his time, according to Sergio Ramos it was not his time for him to retire It was just because now the Spanish team does not need him At the end of the day he has had a very good career as a player He has won everything, he is there to be won in football, nothing else for him to win So as he rides on to the sunset we will miss Sergio Ramos Sergio Ramos is one of the remarkable defenders who have ever graced football Announcing football in Spain because he still features for East Club Paris and Jami We will keep watching him for the club but not for the national team Away from that Man United resurgence and Eric Tain Haag We have seen them beat Barcelona That was some high profile performance during return leg They came from a goal down to beat the opponents and cement Their qualification to the next stage where they were paired against Villa Rial Real Betis, another Spanish opponent What do you make of Man United under Eric Tain Haag? Was Christiano another the problem or something? No, as expected they are doing very well I remember last season Osoro when it was confirmed that Tain Haag would be moving to Manchester United We were on this show with you and Eric Aganya and you asked us what we think Tain Haag will bring to the table We said yes he is going to turn things around at Manchester United Both of us were very optimistic about it But I am rather shocked All of a sudden they are title contenders for the English Premier League as well I didn't see that coming to be honest There is about 13 or 14 matches to go You really have to now factor the mean in the larger equation of the English Premier League title No pressure for them to win because they were not expected to They are a team that is in transition But they have done remarkably well to be considered as one of the hot three favourites I think the coach himself said that enough of the compliments People are complimenting him too much For him the target was getting the top four Getting into the champion's leg position At the moment he is actually cementing that You look at in your castle, they are way behind where they are in the log To catch up with Manchester United At the moment they are cementing that The big thing is also how he has managed to Grant results out of the big six And also looking at defeating Barcelona on Thursday Was I think a big champion's leg night could have been for Manchester United Even if it was in the Europa League beating Barcelona One key game for them That game against Liverpool The win against Liverpool early in the season I think changed the momentum for Manchester United And then the win against City as you know Has changed Manchester United And now they have got that belief that they can do actually something So come Sunday They can get their first trophy under 10 ha And then now the trophies will measure the success But the road to success I think Manchester United fans are enjoying it at the moment They have got a good set of players that they have bought Manchester United was known under Sir Alex Fagason To buy some of the best talent on the football market Be it established or talent that is establishing itself And they have gone back to that sort of thinking That school of thought under 10 ha Very commendable They look like the Manchester United of Yo But expectations I think will just go game per game Remember the fact that there were two up against Barcelona Away at the new camp which is no main fit And then they gave away that two nil lead Settle for a two hole score And also against Barcelona in the return leg Alia midweek this week They didn't have to give away that penalty Bruno Fernandez if only he can focus on his football Very fine and refined player But sometimes he thrives in him Side shows and a lot of winging unnecessarily He's got to grow up and just focus on his game That guy can go places and help Manchester United Go places as well I think he's got to be lucky to have a player who can Tolerate the shenanigans I don't think it's even a tolerate Players who can bail you out When you make such kind of mistake I think you saw it with the Real Madrid and Liverpool When Kotua made that mistake And Liverpool went two nil up Everybody thought that game is done and dusted But you could see players like Luca Modric, Karim Benzema Just telling the other players to calm down Now let's play the game Madrid came back, they bailed Kotua out of that Manchester United It is not the first time they are going a gold down Actually many games they have come from behind Now you have made the mistake It has happened, you have got to move on You need those players who can rise up to the occasion And you saw like Ravel Verane Martinez, Luxio, all of them are really performing very well But I think you have also got to give it to the substitutes Look at Ghanacho, Anthony They just come in to the game I think 65-70 minutes of the game And then they change the game completely You could have thought that these are just bench players But when they come in They play as if they are not bench players Actually they play as if they are fast players looking for the win But really tomorrow's game is a final You should avoid those mistakes A final is serious Let's talk what he said to happen tomorrow Kalimination of Karabauk The final taking place tomorrow evening at 7pm Mr. Afrikantai Piting Manchester United against Newcastle Let's have a hug up against AD How Newcastle has also been on resurgence mode They have been performing very well Since that ownership takeover You remember how it was done to be The next Manchester City of Paris In their mind We look forward to seeing How high profile players will continue Getting robbed into the team So tomorrow the two teams are clashing And United has not won a silver In the last 5 years I think the last time they Grabga title was in 2017 And was there Mourinho Tomorrow Will it be a perfect start to Their career laden They would have been Slim Or slight favourites But remember they had a game midweek Newcastle have had more time to rest So that could Sort of work against them But In terms of form Are a bit better than Newcastle United Because even You watch the English Premier League table They've swapped places United have gone up and taken the position Number 3 that was previously held by Newcastle United And Newcastle have gone down To fourth place So in terms of form We'll say yes, Manchester United But A final is a final And we saw that In the World Cup final Argentina thought they had it home and dry And then to nil up That's quite an impressive squand Out of nowhere France tied it to two all Stretched a game to extra time And had Kolomuani scored that last second kick Would be talking of Bapen Bapen Bapen So Newcastle do have a fighting chance And they are stronger Physically You look at them And you've got to say wow This is a very strong side Physically And English football revolves around A lot of the physical element Of football And it's rather interesting Kiran Trippia for Newcastle United Since the World Cup Break came to an end And we've come into this sort of second half of the season Has created the most chances in the English Premier League Followed shortly By Bruno Fernandez Was also, he's created the second most chances In the English Premier League So they are balanced in terms of chances And finals are about chances I've just spoken about Kolomuani Failing to finish off a chance That would have changed the course of football in history So tomorrow's game is fairly balanced United would have had a slima edge Over Newcastle Had they not played midweek With the final You know anything can happen No one is favourite So between United and Newcastle United has been revolving around Bruno Fernandez Who is the face of Newcastle United I totally disagree With Taira So I think you look at Newcastle You look at players like long staff Coming in Long staff is a key player To watch for Newcastle Trippia Is a key player I think Traure Not Amanda Traure is a very key player for them And they can actually trouble Manchester United But For Manchester United at the moment They have got key momentum on their side Playing 3-4 days after games Players fighting for chances To get on to the side To play for Manchester United And After win against Barcelona There is that fear factor I don't think Eddie Howe is going to Come to that march telling Newcastle players Go out and Go head on One on one with Manchester United It's not going to happen I think it's going to be a keep march for Newcastle And I have a big feeling Newcastle will be laid back In this game Manchester United is going to go all out For this game For Manchester United I think key players to watch The lineup that played Barcelona Might be replicated for Newcastle But I think Now one besaka can be given a rest For Diago da Lod to come in and start the march You look at the likes of Garnacho Being given a chance to start again Sancho But It's a final But my bet is with Manchester United Personally my Sunday is sorted Because Super Sunday It is as far as tomorrow is concerned So myself and Ravel Morrison Will be chilling somewhere To enjoy the proceedings because that game I think would be preceded by another Titanic clash beating Arsenal And Tottenham what's up Tottenham is playing Chelsea Tottenham up against Chelsea In all looks like another interesting Fixer for Premier League The title race And we've seen how Manchester City Are trying to cement their chances To defend the title they back last season And they are still on top of the table They are second place Arsenal is still on top of the table But What's the over view And permutations regarding that tie Chelsea up against Tottenham we've seen Graham Porter The tactician for the Blues Saying that since his arrival at Stamford bridge We're giving death threats Because of a string of poor performances Regardless of how much they have Managed to spend on the transfer When they are acquiring new players And bolstering their school Well death threats That's unfortunate because I mean football at the end of the day Is just a game and we shouldn't get To the extent of death threats But unfortunately it's happened before And those death threats Are quite a common thing I hope they are not actuated And we don't have to lose any life Because of football However having said so I think now if we go into the football Tottenham hotspa Have a perfect chance to beat Chelsea Right now Any team will come and beat Chelsea Yes This is Tottenham's chance To beat Chelsea They Go did not do well Last week they did well This week I don't know That's Tottenham for you Their graph at the moment reads like this So that's where Chelsea get a lifeline Against Tottenham They may be low but they are playing Against the Tottenham side that's not consistent So This is a good time to rejuvenate Themselves, Chelsea and sort of Come back to winning ways But it's a dubby It's a land and dubby And it's the team that pops up On the day that is bound to carry the day Otherwise it ends in a draw Or you lose big time And this is Tottenham's greatest chance I think Ari Ken can continue with this heroic exploits After breaking That goal scoring record that Tottenham hotspa People saying Pandit saying that Ari Ken has done everything at Spass And it's high time now he looks for a challenge So he can bag titles I think it's because everybody is looking For goals he has scored for Tottenham And those goals speak of titles But for Ari Ken There is no title That is the major part You score double digit goals every season 22, 23 you are a golden boot winner But at the end of the day You don't have the Premier League You don't have the FA Cup You don't have the Champions League The best they did was a semifinal With Pochettino in the Champions League And a final So at the AGE At the moment Those goals should equate to a trophy And it does not have them And I think it will go down as one of the Best strikers in the game With a multitude of goals But with no accolade To go home with I understand where this man is coming from Because as a man united supporter They have been luring and chasing after The signature of Ari Ken And probably they want him Robin Van Passy Remember when Alex Ferguson acquired him Several goals for the club Was a top scorer for the season And helped them win An English Premier League title And he trained with Manchester United At the moment Pictures surfacing And wherever I roll on Twitter Over Robin Van Passy training the night That can be happening But I think for Ari Ken At the moment You look at Chelsea You can buy players With large sums of money They end up not performing And you can buy players With no money at all They came onto the team with no money at all And they end up performing Look at the likes of Saka Look at the likes of Nketya These are players who have come Into the team And they are really performing But they were bought with zero money And he scores goals And he is still In the money bracket for Tottenham If Tottenham want to cash in for Ari Ken It will be now It will be now So let's talk about one player Who has been making headlines globally By scoring several goals He features for Napoli and is a Nigerian His name is Victor Semen Every club wants to acquire that player Who is Victor Semen? Victor Semen is Nigerian international Born in 1998 December Of that year So that makes him just Over 24 years of age But when you look at his CV I must say it's quite admirable In 2015 he won the FIFA Youth World Cup under 17 Tournament Played at the Africa Cup of Nations in 2019 Did very well in that tournament And They were amongst the last four teams Nigeria And now of course He's played in Germany for Volkswagen And now he's playing with Napoli And he's looking forward to winning the Italian Syria Napoli have not won the Italian Syria Since the golden era of Diego Armando Maradona So that's over 30 years ago And we might as well say It's in the bag but it's always not over until the fat lady sings Victor Semen has played a sterling role In their pursuit of That silverware You saw him the other night For Napoli in Europe He scored a goal If he stays focused and honest I think he's a player to look out for Currently enjoying a colorful Reputation and he's been Phenomenal figure in world football Club football Do you see him getting acquired By another club problem next season? Very much I think if you go with a good money to Napoli I don't think they can say no to that I think 120 You can still go for any other club But at the moment I believe Let him play the best you can for Napoli And we see Napoli lifting that league Gentlemen of course it's been a pleasure doing this Every Saturday 1, 2, 3 touchline Is the show on why to perform My name is Robert I'm a co-host and you know I'm a guest co-host This particular afternoon also joining us to share His insights regarding what's happening In the world of sports Of course as we speak Los Angeles Galaxy Kenya We'll be taking part in the league Hoping to defy all odds and qualify to the main Cup quarters of course in a tough group Consisting of Fiji, Australia Alongside Japan Back home also Kenya Premier League is underway Gormaya up against Kenya Police At 3pm at Kasarani Stadium We're gonna see how that game ends But also at Nyaya National Stadium It's the track and field meeting Of doing best the African fastest man And Commonwealth 100 meters champion Running at 9.86 And probably in 2024 Pariyo Olympics We're gonna see him bugging That goal but before we wind up My producer bitri saying We're not doing our favor Christian Atu A man who perished accidentally through Turkish earthquake of course he has played Great football for Chelsea, for Newcastle We lost him It was a bad incident right? The wonders of the world It usually comes in but for Christian Atu One player from Africa gave his Sorry for that Actually given that I'm sorry for that I was saying Christian Atu One of the best players to come out of Africa For Ghana turned out for Ghana In a World Cup matches That generation of the likes of Andrea Yu they have been playing Very well and they turned out for Newcastle A very good career that he had And all day that he went to Besiktas for a player that we have lost For a player Two weeks ago we were here We spoke about him There was slim hope that he may be found alive Because there are still people being found alive Unfortunately after that We got the sad news What we had hoped against That Christian Atu had been found But he had not been found alive He was dead amongst Thousands and thousands of people who have perished So again condolences to All those who have been Believed may those that Departed rest in eternal peace And May everyone recover from that Trauma and Best wishes to all those affected Best wishes indeed Atantilising play in a Christian Who played for Chelsea Alongside Newcastle United Perishing through that Turkish earthquake Unfortunate but of course From KBC Sports we send our condolences To those who affected may other families Get enough fortitude and strength to stand With the big loss Of course the conversation continues even as the show comes to an end Touchline Y25 is the hashtag at Tosike Maxwell At Tosoro but this man is not on Twitter At Titu Ayaki At Titu Ayaki Let's keep talking and let's keep enjoying the conversation And sharing what's happening We are smart as sports Both local and beyond is concerned We are not segregating, not sport swimming Basketball, everything Tell us what is happening in a neighbourhood too And we shall be keeping the word No That you are also passionate about sports It's been a pleasure doing this to our camera crew The two gentlemen, the three gentlemen The four gentlemen actually Salut and God bless
