To Pastor who learnt economics and world politics from middle eastern book written 2000 years ago everything is bad and dooms day

*He forgot that shortages in power supply means heavy demand for power supply especially in industrialised China, where energy means goods production...

*More Energy demand, more goods production, congestion in seaport, increase in crude prices, shortage in drivers to move goods all points to the fact that global economy is now operating in full capacity and it's time to make money

*Put able bodied jobless men accross Coal pits in Nigeria and smuggle it to China using black market... We would make billions

*Sign a deal to sell off gas flared to China at cheap price and we would make billions

*Minister of Transport should meet UK ambassador drafting a Trailer driver 1 year exchange programme with 6 month renewable visa... Nigeria makes 30% on each Drivers wages while Driver makes 70% every month we supply 1000 graduate trailer drivers

Man Utd's Ronaldo equals record for 90th-minute Champions League winners with strike vs Villarreal

The Manchester United star moved level with Sergio Aguero with yet another late goal

Cristiano Ronaldo has levelled Sergio Aguero for most Champions League winners after the 90th minute as the Portuguese star saved Manchester United in a win over Villarreal.

Ronaldo provided the match-winning moment in second-half stoppage time, as he pounced in the box to combine with Jesse Lingard to seal a 2-1 Man Utd win.

It came after Man Utd fell behind in the second half only for Alex Telles to equalise later on, and it was Ronaldo that, once again, provided the game-changing moment when his side needed it most.

Another day, another record
On a day where Ronaldo set the record for Champions League appearances, he also moved level with Aguero when it comes to late winners.

With the goal, Ronaldo now has three game-winning goals in the Champions League after the 90th minute, putting him level with the former Manchester City and current Barcelona star.

'There's always a chance with Ronaldo'
After the match, Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was full of praise for Ronaldo, saying that he always knows his team has a chance with Ronaldo on the field.

“That’s what happens here at Old Trafford,” Solskjaer told BT Sport. "We threw caution to the wind and we got lucky.

“They’re a hard team to play against. When you have Cristiano on the pitch there’s always a chance. Cristiano is so good in front of goal."

Man Utd celebrate victory over Villarreal, Champions League 2021-22
Ronaldo's goal came at the tail-end of a relatively quiet game for the Portuguese star, and Man Utd in general.

But, with Man Utd pushing for a late winner, Ronaldo popped up, winning a header and running onto Lingard's pass to seal the three points.

"He's done that so many times," Solskjaer said, "and when you saw him [for Portugal] against Ireland a month ago, he missed a penalty early, didn't touch the ball more or less, and scored two great headers in the last minutes.


"That's what he's done throughout his career. He stays in the game. I've seen him all day, the way he's built up for this game and when he gets that one chance it's a goal. He had a couple of half-chances, but a true mark of a great finisher is that he keeps calm when the [big] chance arrives."

What did Ronaldo say?
"It's my job," Ronaldo told BT Sport. "It's a very difficult game. Villarreal plays so good. They had many chances. We struggled a little and we knew it before the game that we must win the game. It was tough.

"The team was a little nervous in the first half and second half to be honest. We were a little bit lucky as well, which we didnt have last game but we had today.

"Great attitude from our players and the fans pushed us a lot. This is what we need when the team is not playing well. An important win."

Man Utd's Champions League run so far
Manchester United entered Wednesday's game in need of a win, having lost their opener to Young Boys.

Next up, they'll take on Atalanta as they host the Serie A side on October 20.

The Portugal star has scored his 111th goal in international colours, surpassing every other player to have played the game, with more still to come
Back in 2005, there were not many people who would have predicted that 16 years later Cristiano Ronaldo would be the greatest goalscorer in men's international football history.

One who did, though, was Ronaldo himself.

The then-20-year-old had been at Manchester United for two seasons by that stage, during his first, trophy-laden spell at the club, and was spending the summer in the United States as he recovered from an ankle injury.

While he was there, he met up with former Liverpool and Everton right-back Abel Xavier, and outlined his desires to his former Portugal international team-mate.

“I had gone to a hotel and spoke with him and he looked at me and said: ‘Abel I’m going to be the best player in the world'. That was in 2005!” Xavier tells Goal.

"The way he expressed that. The way he said it, especially when he was injured, showed his mentality even then. Some players can be maybe a little bit down when they're injured but he expressed he was determined he was going to be the best.”

Ronaldo was not wrong.

That desire to be the best ever was born long before 2005, but the injury setback just further enforced his desire to reach those goals.

Rewind to when he was at Sporting CP as a teenager, he was given the nickname 'Noodle' by his team-mates due to his slight physique. Unhappy with the tag, he set about conducting his own weight sessions to build muscle, and he had a similar idea in mind when he signed for Manchester United for the first time in 2003.

Working closely with Mick Clegg, former strength and conditioning coach at United, he asked for help to become the best.

The Portugal international would train with ankle weights in order to improve his game and would practice alone on a pitch behind a hill in order to perfect his tricks without the pressure of being judged if they went wrong.

That is something that has never left him.

“One day, I was in Madrid watching a Champions League game. I think it was Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. They were taking shots at the goalkeepers and, in 20 shots, he missed [only] one,” former Portugal international Costinha tells Goal of a warm-up he witnessed during the five-time Champions League winner's time in the Spanish capital.

“Most other players missed six or 10. When he missed, everyone started joking with him and he became very upset. I was like: 'He only missed one of 20'.

“He then picked up a bag of balls and he went shooting alone on goal. For him, he had to shoot all 20 well. How many players can do that? He was not happy because he missed one. It showed his character and he doesn’t allow himself to miss one chance. This is very important.

"Some people see him upset on the pitch because his pass isn’t good or he does a bad shot and they misunderstand him. His character is just like this. I even asked [Jose] Mourinho after training: 'What happened with Cristiano?' He said: 'Leave him, he will be ready'.”

That fire inside Ronaldo to keep on improving is something he's always had and extends way beyond just football. When compatriot Nani joined Manchester United in 2007 he and Anderson moved in with Ronaldo.

The Orlando City winger recalled the fun and games the three had in Ronaldo's Cheshire home as they settled in to life in England.

"It was great for us, three young players who like to compete every single day and we had everything there to enjoy," Nani tells Goal. "We had a tennis court, ping pong, a swimming pool, we had everything. So we were competing with everything even at home and that was making us better every single day. It was perfect.

"We would even compete as to who was right in situations. Someone would say something and we would argue what was true and who was right."

It is clear whenever you speak to anyone who has worked with the 36-year-old that it is his mentality that has got him to where he is.

“His mental strength and his professionalism is what sets him apart from everyone else,” former Portugal team-mate Nuno Gomes explains to Goal.

“When you go back through his past, you are talking about a strong, mentally focused player and it’s difficult to shift that,” Xavier adds.

“He’s been helped by being able to play for dominant teams and dominant clubs with good coaches, good surroundings but, for me, the most important thing is the mental approach.

"I think your own history adds something more than your characteristics or talent or ability and I think that’s a big part of the big make-up of Ronaldo.”

The extra sessions, drive, dedication to his craft, diet, training techniques and, more than anything else, determination turned him into the beast that has dominated at the top of world football for a decade and a half.

And that desire to win and be better than everyone else was instilled at him at a young age. Nani recalled being at the same youth training camp as Ronaldo and the latter was crying at the side of the pitch because he hadn't been awarded a free-kick after a foul.

"One of the things I will never forget is that we were playing a tournament and there was a play and he won a foul and the coach didn’t call a foul and the other team went and scored a goal. He went to the bench and he was crying," Nani says.

"The coach went to him and said: ‘Come on, you can’t do that you need to keep pushing sometimes things will happen'. Then he came back on the pitch and he was so furious and someone crossed the ball and he had two touches and a back heel and scored a goal.

"Only he could do that in that time, everyone was like: ‘Woah’ and I was so surprised in the way he was behaving that day.

"Seeing Cristiano and how he behaved made me realise that’s why he’s so good. That’s why everyone says he’ll be the best so I started to look at him and thought I needed to improve myself. At that age I was good but I was not at his level."

That mentality served Ronaldo well and even when he was just starting to push into the first team, he caused a scene. Gomes recalls the then-18-year-old joining up with the Portugal squad for the first time back in 2003.

“He was different to any other young player we had seen coming up to the national team before,” he said. “He always impressed us with his skills, his desire to be better every day, the desire to improve and learn.

“He has always been a player looking to learn more. When he first joined the group, he always liked to talk and listen to the older ones. We often stayed after training, practicing our shooting together.”

And so he set off on his quest to become the best ever with his first international goal coming against Greece in the 2004 European Championship - a 93rd-minute header assisted by Luis Figo that was the start of the quest to ultimately overhaul Iran's Ali Daei at the top of the men's international goalscoring charts.

That tournament ended in heartbreak for a teenage Ronaldo, as Portugal lost on home soil to Greece in the final. He finished with two goals, adding to his group-stage header with another in the semi-final against the Netherlands. By then, his team-mates were starting to really take note that he was something special.

“Maybe during Euro 2004 we realised that he would become one of the best in the world,” Gomes says. “He was and still is an ambitious player. His way of working, and of playing, it was clear that he would be a top player. I could tell that someone special was there and that he was going to make history.”

The further along he got in his career, the more titles he inspired and the more individual records he broke, and it started to become clear that it would be a case of when, not if he would write himself into the history books.

There have been the Champions League titles with United and with Madrid. There have been league titles in England, Spain and in Italy with Juventus.

There have been all manner of international goals, including an earth-shattering hat-trick in the play-offs ahead of the 2014 World Cup against Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Sweden which helped earn Ronaldo one of his five Ballons d'Or.

And on top of all that, he has led Portugal to senior silverware for the only time in their history. He was integral to their era-defining Euro 2016 win, scoring three times en route to the final, and another three in the 2019 UEFA Nations League finals in Porto.

He is the top scorer in Champions League history with 134 and in European Championship finals with 14.

And yet when all the personal accolades within his grasp at this summer's tournament were put to him before Portugal’s opener in Group F against Hungary, he replied: “I’m not overwhelmed, it's a good record but more important than this will be to win back-to-back Euros.”

Back-to-back Euros were not meant to be, but he matched Daei’s world record. The question now, after his historic goals against Ireland on Wednesday which lifted him to 111 in a Portugal shirt, is by how many will he surpass it?

“When you look at his physicality it doesn’t match with his age,” Xavier says. “When you see his performance, he is still fresh and young and for that reason maybe he will continue to play for a long time.”

Hmm... Government ASUU

JovialJune:
Very incoherent from a proud arrogant entitled human that keeps opening more threads about not receiving help from anyone, and comments on it like a bitter person, if not that you're pained, why did you have to come to Op's thread to whine, condemn, and discourage Op because you were not given?

People have been helped several times here, but because yours was different means you have to keep crying about it? I saw your other thread before it was deleted, how you were arrogant, badmouthing your former church/Pastor, castigating others that said pure truths to you, in one comment, you even had the guts to tell a moniker "if only you know who I am" lol, that was when I knew you weren't a serious person at all, I know you are "chariseleos", you had to deactivate that moniker so people wouldn't know or figure out your comment pattern, but you can't deceive everyone my dear,

If you were a serious person, you would have used your old moniker and own up to the fact that at one point in time in everyone's life, things will not be rosy, but no, you prefer to gloat, complain, and whine as if your nasty attitude and nasty reply to comments will make people pity you, it doesnt work that way, humble yourself dear, it will not bite you if you do, but then, to late, as you've shown everyone how nasty you are, if you like, keep commenting on threads created by those who truly seek genuine help to discourage them, that's your business, assistance would be given to those who truly deserves it.

Boss let be at peace
Boss please surely we all deserves a little mercy. And I know you mean well
