Why Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo believes he is the Greatest Of All Time

Image
Everyday you flip through the sports papers or watch the pundits speak about Manchester United all you hear is wish thinking and clueless-ness emanating from those guys. 

 Everybody think is all about signing this and that player before United get back to their rhythm and success.. Nobody wants to accept the fact that United just like Liverpool of the 80's have hit rock bottom and will serious readjustment to get them back to winning ways. 

 Manchester United have fallen from grace to grass since Sir Alex Ferguson decided back in 2012 it was time he ended his 32-year sting at United. What Fergie did in 32-years with Manchester United can never be replicated .

 He made United what it is today, a global brand loved across the world and still respected by many. The Transition was always going to be difficult, any manager coming in will certainly need time to develop his own identity and winning formula. Expecting him to replicate Fergie's achievement is just crazy.

 Ole Gunnar Solskjear is a good manager, maybe not the 'Jurgen Klopp or Pep Guardiola' United fans and ex-players would've wanted but he understands the club much better than those two having played under Ferguson and won United their first ever Champions League trophy with a dying minute goal against Bayern Munich back in 1999. 

 What the pundits, ex-players or fans must understand is that almost all managers struggle in their first season. Premier League's top 2 Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola did struggle with Liverpool and Manchester City respectively. Klopp took Liverpool to the final of Europa League and Carling Cup and lost both trophies, devastating.. 

 Pep Guardiola meanwhile finished torphy-less in his first season and and earned the name Fraudiola. 

 Solskjaer's first full season will always be tough, he will need time and believe to work and not the constant bashing from pundits and ex-players who nothing about management.

Paris Saint-Germain Sporting director Leonardo has slammed Zinedine Zidane assertion that Kylian Mbappe has always wanted to move to Real Madrid.  Zidane revealed during a press conference that he spoke with Mbappe and the french man dreams of playing at the prestigious Estadio Santiago Bernebeu.  But such statement has angered PSG chiefs especially Leornado who feels Zidane has really gone off track with such statement. "Honestly, it's a bit irritating, it's annoying, it's not the first time this has happened", Leonardo angrily told reporters.  "I think that now is not the time to talk about this. He is a player who has two-and-a-half years left on his contract with us, so to talk about what he wants, his 'dream', every time..

Why Harry Kane must consider joining Manchester City as Sergio Aguero's replacement

Harry Kane has reached the stage of his career when he has to think deeply about his future and ask himself if sticking with Tottenham Hotspur beyond this season will be good for his career or not.  The England international captain have spent 10 years at Spurs and only once have he come close to winning a meaningful trophy {2019 Champions League}. But in those years, Kane has developed into one of Europe's  top striker.  With Spurs he has scored 171 goals in 263 appearances and won the golden boot in 2 of the last 3 seasons.  Kane is top class striker but he knows he has to win trophies to become one of the best player in the world.

Why Barcelona decision to ditch Philippe Coutinho for Antoine Griezmann have failed to work

Barcelona's decision to trigger Antoine Griezmann's € 120m release clause despite having Philippe Coutinho is beginning to look silly. The Brazilian  was fantastic to watch in his first season at Camp Nou as he helped Barca win the La Liga and Copa Del Rey title.  But, his second season wasn't as promising as the first as Barcelona managed to win just the La Liga title.  The Bluagrana giants were beaten badly by Sevilla in the Copa Del Rey final and Liverpool in the Semi final of the Champions League at Anfield.  A change needed to be made and Coutinho had to be sold to pave way for a World Cup winner in Antoine Griezmann.  Glorified, respected and proven, Griezmann was everything Barcelona thought they needed to arrest the club's decline and over dependence on Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.  Unfortunately, the quick fix has failed to work as Griezmann has shown he lacks the flair, attacking prowess and mentality to drive Barcelona forward....

Kevin de Bruyne has lauded praises on Fernandinho who he says is the club's most underrated player.  Fernandinho impact at City have been huge, he is arguably the club's best defensive midfielder and the one of the top 3 defensive midfielders in world football.  But as he ages, Pep Guardiola decided it was time he switched from a more defensive role into a full blow centre-back which has impressed De Bruyne.  Asked about his vice-captain, De Bruyne said: "Dinho can play everywhere. Since i came here he's been really under-rated", he told Sky Sports.  "For me he was one of the best defensive midfielders in the world, and now he just comes in as central defender and does what he does.  "Props to him, because obviously he is 35 and it's not easy to play a new position, especially when you've never done it in the 14 years before that".  Fernandinho is on course to sign a one year contract with Manchester City.

CAF Awards: Is Sadio Mane really better than Man City star Riyad Mahrez

Its difficult to understand why Sadio Mane is the 2019 Africa Footballer of the Year whereas Riyad Mahrez lifted more trophies than him in Europe {4 to 1} and edge past in the final of the Africa Cup of Nation.  Mahrez helped Algeria win the Africa Cup for the Nation for the first time in 25-years which frankly should be enough to make him Africa's best player. He was simply unstoppable in Egypt and his three goals and 4 assists ensured Algeria where champions not Senegal or host nation Egypt.  CAF's decision to pick Sadio Mane ahead of Riyad Mahrez is simply because of Liverpool's winning streak and his immerse contribution to their course and nothing else. The organizing body failed to see the impact of Mahrez during league and cup matches with Manchester City as well as his world class impact during the just concluded Africa Cup of Nation.  With Algeria, he was simply unstoppable, he created more chances than Mane and Salah combined and scored the needed goals...

Murphy: Sadio Mane will be fired up to play Manchester City and Guardiola

Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy feels Pep Guardiola has made a big mistake by insinuating Sadio Mane is a 'diver'. Mane is the Premier League's most improved player and he is the reason Liverpool are six points clear of the chasing pack. Winding him up right before Manchester City go to Anfield where they've failed to win in over 16 years don't make sense. Murphy thinks Guardiola never planned to reveal what he thinks about the Senegalese and now forced to regret that statement. "I don't think Pep went to { the press conference} with that in his head, i think he was just triggered by a question about the result at Villa Park and it's just come out", Murphy told talkSPORT. "In hindsight he might look back on that and think, 'i wish i hadn't said that'. If i was him, the last thing i'd want to do is wind up the best player in the Premier League at the moment and before you play him next week". Sadio Mane...
