Wait o...still very worried & asking, if this 343 formation Chelsea is currently operating on is EVEN LEGAL?

The Blues wing-back is finally having his breakthrough at Stamford Bridge, but his talent was unearthed in the most remarkable
circumstances by a youth-team manager.

Victor Moses’s early years in England were not
easy, according to his first manager. At 13, he
was attacked on the field by a woman for
humiliating her son and accused of cheating
while playing for “the worst team in the
league”. Despite his struggles, though, Tony
Loizi was convinced he had found a special
player when he welcomed him to Cosmos 90.

Loizi met Moses when the youngster
approached the Tandridge Youth Football
League team looking for a game after he had
been resettled in England following the
religiously-motivated murder of his parents in
Nigeria.
The 25-year-old has enjoyed a fantastic rise to
become Antonio Conte’s first-choice right
wing-back at Chelsea. But it was Loizi who
introduced him to the English game after
getting the permission of his foster parents to
sign him up to play in the youth league just
outside of London. The manager was so
impressed by him that he still has the
documentation of his former player to prove
that he discovered the former Wigan winger.
"We were the worst team in the league and
he just walked up to us and asked to join the
team," Loizi told Goal. "We watched him play
and he was doing back flips and tricks. We all
just stood there with our mouths open. I
couldn’t believe it, he had a shot harder than
a rocket.

"I said, ‘what team do you play for?’ and he
said ‘I don’t play for a team', then I replied,
‘you have got to be in an academy?!’ and he
said ‘no'. I immediately went to his foster
parents' house to sign him up and they told
me his story.
"There is a one-in-a-million chance that sort of
player comes to an ordinary Sunday league
side, it is almost impossible. They are normally
snapped up so early, they are in academies
before you know it. He came up to us, we
didn’t find him, he found us!"
Moses arrived in England when he was 11-
years-old and attended a state school in South
Norwood before joining Cosmos 90 FC as a 13-
year-old for a seven-month period.

Cosmos 90 ultimately folded after Moses left
due to Loizi being unable to continue as the
club's manager but he remembers the
Nigerian's debut with huge clarity.
"His first game was against Chipstead FC and
they beat us 8-1 only a year earlier in the
cup," Loizi, who played in Arsenal's academy,
added. "My son was due to play in goal but
fractured his arm so I put his cousin in goal
who was only about two feet tall! I put Moses
at centre-half who went to my nephew 'don't
worry, I'll look after you'.
"We won 10-1 and Victor scored eight goals
from centre-half, Chipstead were one of the
best as well, as their first team was semi-
professional and all their parents and the
manager were calling us cheats.

"They said, 'he is not the right age' and I said,
'look we have the documentation, he is the
right age, so tough'. I knew he would
dominate as, when I first met him, we put
some balls on the halfway line and he was
scoring from there - and at only 13-years-old!
"Another moment that I remember was when
Victor goes up to the goalkeeper, puts the ball
through his legs, turns around chips it back
over his head and then beats him again. The
kid was in tears as he absolutely humiliated
him.
"Then the mother of the child comes on with
her handbag and starts hitting him over his
head with her handbag as he humiliated him.
I said to him after that, it doesn’t matter how
good you are, you have got to be humble.

"He was like Gareth Bale when he plays for
Wales. Without Bale, Wales are an ordinary or
average side and without Moses, Cosmos 90
FC were worse than ordinary!"
At that age, Moses named Zinedine Zidane
and Frank Lampard as his footballing idols.
The softly spoken and polite Nigerian became
flamboyant and confident as he stepped onto
a football pitch. He was a naturally gifted
athlete who had the ability to perform the
same leaping somersaults that he can do as a
25-year-old and it wasn't long before he drew
the attention of London's biggest clubs.

"We weren't the best team so we used to only
draw crowds of two men and their dog, but
once we got the word out about Victor, we
had one hundred people come along, then
close to two hundred, including many of my
friends," said Loizi.
"Before the game, I would get called up and
asked 'is Victor playing?' If I said no, they
wouldn’t come down! They only came to
watch him as he was so amazing. So many
clubs were after him and then Crystal Palace
came in. I said to him, ‘look Victor there’s no
way I would hold you back' and I asked him to
come to Crystal Palace with me.
"I said, 'if you sign for Palace you will get to
the first team quicker than at any other clubs'
and in the end he chose to stay with them. I
remember his first game, which was against
Millwall youth and he nearly scored from the
halfway line.
"He is a nice kid, we had a great time with
him and as soon as he left, we lost a lot of our
next few games. Although we eventually went
on to win the cup which was, in part, down to
Victor giving us confidence.

"They say that one player doesn’t make a
difference on his own, but when they are as
good as Victor, they do in youth football. He
was very helpful to his fellow players, he
would always back them up and things like
that."
After Moses signed his schoolboy contracts
with Palace, he was set up with a place in one
of Croydon's best private schools, Whitgift.
There, he continued his success at youth level
by winning the FA Youth Cup for Whitgift.
Messi has not snubbed Barca contract talks
Grimsby school were blown apart by Moses as
he scored all five goals in a 5-0 victory, who
were managed by ex-Chelsea star Colin Pates,
in the final back in 2005.
Moses went onto sign for Chelsea for £9
million from Wigan Athletic in 2012, but has
only now broken into the first team on a
regular basis after Conte switched to a 3-4-3
formation.
Conte's use of Moses as a wing-back has led to
a five-game winning streak in the league with
Chelsea yet to concede in their new formation.

Loizi, who now works as a courier across
London, is a Chelsea fan and is delighted with
the impact of Moses after breaking through
into the Blues's starting XI under Conte.
"I think talent-wise and skill-wise he is up
there with Eden Hazard, perhaps he needs
further refining. Now, under Conte, he has a
role and he carries that out. He has become
more disciplined since the early days and
Conte's tough approach will be good for him.
"That skill he has, you don’t teach people
that, he was doing things that not even an
adult was doing. Someone either taught him
in Nigeria or he was a complete natural. A lot
of the stuff he does now for Chelsea wasn’t
much different to when he was with us.
"I am delighted with how he has come on and
you can see some of the tactical things he has
been taught to do, because when he was a
kid he wanted to take the whole team on
which I am sure he will still do for Chelsea,
from time to time."

CHELSEA want John Obi Mikel to sign a new
contract and Antonio Conte is reportedly willing to play him further up the field to convince him to extend his Stamford Bridge stay.
The 29-year-old linked up with the Blues 10 years ago having emerged with Norwegian outfit Lyn.
And they beat off competition from Premier
League rivals Manchester United to secure his
services.
Rather than develop into the box-to-box
mid fielder, he was expected to though, Mikel has largely been deployed in a deeper role.
In contrast, he operates as a play maker for the Nigerian national team.

But Conte is apparently offering to utilise him in that position in order to entice him into agreeing a new deal in west London.
John Obi Mikel has played more than
350 games since joining Chelsea in 2006.

That’s according to OwnGoalNigeria, who were
told by a source close to the player: "Mikel and
Conte had a chat about his role in the team,
although he has been assured he will be played in the role that suits him the more by the manager. "He is also ready to fill in anywhere he is needed for the team."
Mikel has just a year left to run on his current
contract, hence Chelsea’s move to tie him down.
He is yet to feature under Conte this season due to his participation in last month’s Rio 2016 football tournament.
The Blues sit second in the table heading into
this Sunday’s visit to Swansea, after winning all three of their opening league games.

This oyinbo people, no be today dia sense start. They just took all their hobbies and arranged them as Olympic sport. As in, what am I seeing? Water polo, Dancing horses, Fencing etc. Then they invite us knowing our sense never pass football and 100m. So we are just there to watch them carry 30, 60 gold medals while we are battling for 2.
We should organise a protest o. We must boycott this Olympic 419 games until they add more afrocentric sports like...

- eba swallowing competition
- ludo
- fashion and make up
- ten-ten
- molue-jumping
- fence-flying
- okada race
- spending money
- gele-tying
- beating traffic
- draft playing
- baba ijebu e.t.c

Former France and Liverpool manager Gerard
Houllier has warned that Paul Pogba will find it
hard to live up to his price tag and told L'Equipe that Manchester United has become "a factory" rather than a club.
Pogba, 23, finally completed an £89.3 million
(€105m) move from Juventus back to Manchester United in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Houllier, though, feels that there is no guarantee that the France international will be an instant hit at the club he walked out on in 2012 and that Jose Mourinho needs to offer him good support.
"The sum involved in the transfer has an
inhibiting side," Houllier said. "It could become a problem depending on the personality of the
player, who shouldn't put himself under pressure in terms of that. That's why the manager's discourse is very important."
Houllier also believes that a player in Pogba's
position could feel he longer has the right to
make mistakes in the eyes of his teammates.
"But he's not going to have €100m games every week... therefore you have to know his
character," Houllier said. "Then it depends on the club and the environment. The English want a star. "Manchester United generate impressive income. €120m over five years? That's an instalment of€25m per season -- it's reasonable when you have a budget of over €500m. Because Man U carry out purchases or sales every transfer window of around €50m.
"It's no longer a club. It's a factory."
Former France midfielder Olivier Dacourt thinks Pogba has the right temperament to deal withthe expectation.
During his own playing career Dacourt, 41,
became both Lens and Leeds' most expensive
ever signing.
"The difficulty is daily because you're reminded every day in the media that you're the biggest transfer, with your salary, especially if the team's results don't follow," Dacourt told L'Equipe.
"It becomes heavy going if you're not strong
enough to overcome that... he's young. But it
seems to me that he's able to rise to the stakes.
"Paul left Manchester because [Paul] Scholes wasstarting and he felt he should have been doing somore often.
"He imposed himself at Juve. He's coming back through the front door. When you say that you want to be the Ballon d'Or, it's because you believe in your potential."

CLAUDIO RANIERI is the first to admit that
Leicester are going to miss N’Golo Kante big time.
STAR MAN Kante had a remarkable season last campaign. The midfield battler they sold to Chelsea for £32m last month was arguably THE most influential player in last season’s title triumph.
That’s why the Italian is now asking all the
players Kante left behind to each do the work of two men to fill the big gap he left behind –
starting against Manchester United today.
England’s unlikely champions have had two rude pre-season awakenings against Paris St-Germain and Barcelona so far with hefty 4-0 and 4-2 defeats in the International Champions Cup tournament.
And Ranieri is now calling on his troops to play
the Kante way to make sure they do not suffer a similar fate in today’s Community Shield curtain- raiser.
Or in any of the rest of this season’s Premier
League and Champions League campaigns as
well for that matter.
Ranieri said: “If Chelsea bought Kante, it’s because he played as two players last season.
“The referee counted 11 [on our team] but
we were 12. Now everybody must understand that there is no Kante so we have to be more close. They must do something extra.”
The same will apply when Leicester’s first
Champions League campaign kicks off.
Ranieri said: “When you play for the first time in the Champions League you lose a lot of mental energy. The big teams are used to playing in the Champions League but for us it is new.
Everything is step by step. It is not possible to
build everything in one year.”

To me, money / wealth are materials,which should be the least and most unimportant to us as Christians whose all priority should be based on seeking first the kingdom of God via striving in obeying God's Ten commandments and not how much materials one can offer / gather to God through churches. What one gives should be as a result of one's understanding of why its good / important to give and not Indoctrinate one to give. I so feel it is most important to learn and understand what God actually demands of us. Just what i feel though...

Stage set...

Torres winner, bound to happen...

God is Awesome always. I so tap from this by God's grace.

Chelsea and clean sheet don't mix
