Africa is blessed with so much yet she benefits very little from her vast resources. And the reason why our people are impoverished is due to one word: GREED. “A greedy and grasping person destroys the community…” —Proverbs 15:27

Mourinho: Joao Felix can’t escape the responsibility of his transfer fee
Jose Mourinho believes that Joao Felix is under pressure to deliver Joao and can’t escape the responsibility of his transfer fee
“He has a challenge due to the extent of his talent and because of the investment the club have made on him”, Mourinho told the Portuguese Football Association’s television channel.
“I believe that he can’t escape this responsibility. It doesn’t matter if he’s 18, 20 or 25.
“What matters is his talent and the responsibility he has.”
Felix shone for Diego Simeone’s new-look side in pre-season, with Atleti having made a number of additions after losing the likes of Diego Godin, Antoine Griezmann and Rodri this summer.
Atleti finished second in LaLiga Santander last season, 11 points behind Barcelona, and they are looking to close the gap this time around.
“Atletico Madrid’s level of investment leaves them with responsibility to fight for the Champions League and LaLiga,” Mourinho said.
“It’s clear that Barcelona and Real Madrid have to be there because of their power, financial capability, culture and quality.
“Atletico in recent years have been without this responsibility, but the level of investment they’ve made is incredible.
“It’s time to say, ‘We’re here, we’re big, we want to be big and we are here to win,'” he concluded.
Zidane used to say to me: Cristiano, relax, you will make the difference
Ronaldo discussed his relationship with Zinedine Zidane, his old head coach, and was full of praise for the Frenchman.
“The confidence that a player needs doesn’t only come from himself but also from the players around him and the coach,” Ronaldo stated.
“You need to feel like you are an important part of the group and Zidane made me feel special.
“He helped me a lot. I already had a lot of respect for him but working with him made me admire him more.
“That’s because of what he’s like as a person, how he talks, how he led the team and how he treated me.
“He’d tell me, ‘Cris, relax and just play your game – you are the one who is going to make the difference.’
“He was always honest with me and that’s why I’ll always have a real affection for him.”
Man Utd’s Wan-Bissaka told he is “best right-back in the league” as Alexander-Arnold “can’t defend” like him.
Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker hailed Aaron Wan-Bissaka as the best right-back in the Premier League, believing his all-round game is better than that of Liverpool rival Trent Alexander-Arnold.
People talk about the lad at Liverpool [Alexander-Arnold] but he can’t defend like Wan-Bissaka, whose defending and positioning is very good. He wants to defend, he loves it.
And every time he won a tackle [against Chelsea] there was no doubt he won it cleanly. You would think he had been there years.
“I’m judging him as a defender. He is the best right back in the Premier League.”
Wan-Bissaka was perhaps unable to display his attacking prowess for Crystal Palace last season, given Roy Hodgson opts for a more-organised defensive philosphy.
Gary Neville explains the seven qualities Harry Maguire showed on Man Utd debut
“I loved Maguire yesterday,” Neville t
weeted on Monday morning. “Top centre backs don’t sweat, look calm, don’t spend time on their backsides, win headers, are composed on the ball, cover others and lead by example.
“It’s only early but he demonstrated all those qualities. No sign of the price tag or Old Trafford phasing him either!”
And Marcus Rashford had bagged a double, with Anthony Martial and Daniel James also getting on the score sheet.
Maguire explained after the game what he told his fellow defenders in the finale of the victory at Old Trafford.
“I was reiterating on the pitch that ‘we need to concentrate now’, even after three and four (goals),” Maguire told Sky Sports.
“We wanted a clean sheet. We knew coming into the season that there was only two clean sheets here last year.
“We’ve really got to make this a fortress and make this our place to come and score.
“It’s a good start. We’re not getting carried away but we’ll keep working and keep improving.”
Lampard hits back at Mourinho criticism following Man Utd defeat.
Mourinho, speaking on Sky Sports, said “If Kante can play 30-35 minutes, he can start the game. If he lasts only one hour, then he lasts one hour.
“My feeling is that today they had a possibility to play with more know-how.
“Marcos Alonso was on the bench, Kante was on the bench, Giroud was on the bench.
“You look to the performance of Mason Mount, the performance of Tammy Abraham, you look to the performance even of Andreas Christensen and for matches of this dimension you need a little bit more.
But Lampard, who was unable to sign players this summer because of a transfer embargo, refused to make excuses for the heavy defeat.
“In terms of the squad, we knew we couldn’t bring players in the summer,” said Lampard. “But I know and I believe we’ve got really talented young players.
“So let’s be clear – with the injuries we’ve got at the minute, and the fact we couldn’t bring in players, this is going to be a work in progress to a degree.”
Barcelona accelerate talks for Neymar, PSG will now accept Coutinho in exchange.
RMC Sport claim that Barcelona have accelerated talks to sign Neymar, with PSGready to accept a player in exchange. Linked to this, PSG are reportedly in talks with Philippe Coutinho.
The French media outlet report that there was a meeting a few days ago between directors from both sides which resulted in significant progress towards a deal being made. PSG still want a large sum of money, but they are now ready to bring Coutinho to the club in exchange.
PSG are still in the market for a goalkeeper and a full-back, while they are also considering a move for Juventus forward Paulo Dybala, RMC report. As such, they want the money from the Neymar deal to fund these transfers.
Real Madrid remain in the fight for Neymar, but they are far from being as close as Barcelona and PSG are to reaching an agreement.
