DrayZee:I agree his goals were vital but what I'm saying is that even without him being in the team they would have still performed. See, before he started banging in the goals this season, Juve were still on top ....plus most of the goals he scored weren't that spectacular (goals that only him would have scored). Most of his goals, like 70% were penalties and tap ins (no disrespect there)....anybody could have been there to score pks and tap ins. And you said dybala had to step up??.....Paulo has been that team's best player for years, that he had a bad season last season doesn't remove that. Higuain had 8 league goals as you said, let's say he scored the 12 pks Ronnie scored then that'd be 20 goals, he'd have scored more than Ronaldo then, 31-12=19. |
Khriztarl:lol. thanks alot |
Khriztarl:With a smiley face would be more appropriate....you'd look much better than with a furrowed brows or frowned face |
Khriztarl:I think I'd like a hug better than a smile |
Beverlyjean:Really??....his 31 goals won the league??....same league juve has been winning sevens years consecutively prior to Ronnie's arrival? |
Beverlyjean:Thank God you said "what he won"....he won the serie a golden boot and European golden boot too. |
Khriztarl:next would be longer.. thanks |
Dibz's POV I half opened my eyes a few seconds after I'd punched in the passcode. Nothing had changed, the red light from the keypad l indicated that it was still locked and no gas had come out from nowhere or...or maybe I'm dead already. I heaved a sigh of relief when I searched the room for my dead body and didn't see anything which meant my spirit was still in my body (nollywood don mess me up sha). Suddenly the box made a click sound and the light changed to green and the box unlocked immediately, opening halfway. My legs gave way and I fell on my knees closing my eyes while giving thanks to God. I really thought was going to die today. I instantly remembered I was not alone here and whipped my head towards the direction of the MD as he slowly removed the oxygen mask like thing he wore on his face. He was smiling. Why was he smiling? He's supposed to be afraid or even angry, why the smile. "Why are you smiling?", I asked backing away from him as he took a step towards me. "Congratulations, Mr Manuel", he said as he stopped. "You passed the test, you are the true heir". 'Now I'm confused, what test?', I thought. "What are you talking about?", I asked. "What test?". He smiled again before he spoke. "You see, there wasn't any passcode or there is actually but it's not a word or numbers or anything like that. Your grandfather was a very smart man and done all these in anticipation of any impostors, even your dad didn't know the actual passcode. The man didn't trust anybody, well except me. He saved me as a kid and I since swore my allegiance to the man, I would never betray him and he knew it that's why he let me in on the secret and ensured that I made sure the inheritance got to you one way or the other, even if your dad refused or even you refused. He loved you so much , right from the moment you were born, said you were the carbon copy of his late wife, your dad's mom, the only person who could tame him." I felt cold all over as he listened to him. He means to tell me that he let me go through all that just for fun, to test me? "Why did you let me go through all that then?", I asked softly. "I'm sorry about that, I had to be sure you were really the one. As I said earlier, impostors have been here before claiming to be you, one even looked exactly like you, wonder how they got to know about the inheritance but they all failed the test and were eliminated immediately", he said. "What f***king test is this? Tell me!!!", I yelled angrily. "Woah easy Sir, I'm sorry. The..the....it's your fingerprint. All the keypad needed was your fingerprint, anything you'd have pressed would have unlocked the box it just needed your fingerprint", he said as he took a step backwards. I was dumbfounded. "So you mean even if I pressed 1 , the box would've unlocked?", I asked astonished as I stared wide eyed at the box to which he nodded. "The keys just served as a decoy", he explained. I proceeded to open the box fully and I got out some papers and files but there wasn't any key whatsoever. I was alarmed now. "There's... there's no key", I said panicked. "Oh...you don't need a key. You've got a special vault where your inheritance is in cash worth almost $2bn and then the bank is yours too, %100 ownership", he said as he opened the compartment where he got the mask thingy from and presssed a key which caused the doors to open and just immediately, about ten guard like guys rushed in pointing their weapons at me. "Sshhh....stand down guys. Drop your weapons at once!", Mr Arinze ordered. " He's the new boss, the boss's very own grandson". Almost immediately, the lowered their weapons and bowed their heads slightly in a show of respect. I was awed I won't lie. Maybe being the new mafia boss wasn't such a bad thing afterall (lol just kidding). I prolly wasn't going to use this money after I regained our company, it was illegal drug money afterall ( lol kidding again, I'm so keeping the money). I stood up and dismissed the guards while I went through the files and documents with joy in my heart. With this money we didn't even need the company that much, we could easily start another one from scratch with at least two more branches at once but no, that company is the sweat and blood of my dad and there's no way I was going to let it slip out just like that under my watch. Dropping the paperwork, I turned to Mr Arinze. "Mr Arinze", I began. "I need you to buy some shares for me right away", I said smiling.....TBC So sorry for not updating earlier, had a very busy day. Glad to be done with these whole corporate ish...I've missed Fola and Josh and T too. New update later tomorrow or Thursday at most. Good night |
Morning guys..new episode today |
DesChyko:Sorry I forgot...Suarez's first season as a barca player, he wasn't in the top five, he was actually in eight position with sixteen goals. It was in the following season he scored 40 to win the pichichi, now make no mistake I'm a barca fan and I love Suarez and he's a very fantastic player but he hit that high because he was helped alot. Messi and Neymar esp helped him alot to achieve that...for example in the last three games, he hit 9 goals in 3 games. Messi let off 3 penalties to him in those 9 goals plus when they were in 1 on 1 situations but they'd pass so he'd tap in. This is my own opinion tho and you don't have to accept it, I think they did that so he'd have a shot at the pichichi rather than Ronaldo who finished second with 35 goals |
obonujoker:I know I said in my comment "someone that developed as a player in the EPL", Suarez and Van were already established strikers in the eredivise with Ajax and PSV. They both won the golden boot there as well and even did same in the EPL too. Bale??....Cmon..did you watch Bale at spurs? He was the best player in the EPL when he left but has he been able to replicate such form in the supposed easier laliga??.... I'll leave you to answer that. The only near valid point is the fact you mentioned Beckham. |
DesChyko:Nice stats....I really like the way the argument is so educative and non-insulting at all. Now let's talk about the main issue which is players the came to the EPL and performed really well individually. Santi suffered injuries ,yes including one that kept him out for almost two years and there was even the rumor that his leg might be amputated but before that, in his first season in Arsenal, he scored 12 goals and recorded 14 assists in that PL season and he went produce that nice performance in the next two seasons before the injuries began. Ask any arsenal fan the importance of Santi, he was even dubbed "The Magician" there at the Emirates. You also mentioned RVP's injuries that began at the latter years of his career in the EPL...let's remember that before then dude had already gotten himself two golden boots there and had done pretty well for him, it's only fair that the law of diminishing marginal returns caught up with him. He produced a stellar performance individually before the injuries began, let's be honest Bale hasn't done that yet even after 7 seasons. Ozil is an on and off player, he was better at Madrid I won't lie but he was pretty important to Arsenal and his all time highest came at the EPL when he recorded 19 assists and also arsenal hadn't won any trophy for nine years prior to his arrival. Now Alexis, your stats about him was wrong sha. He goal contributions to barca in laliga was a total is 73 in 141 matches which is 0.59 while at Arsenal in the EPL, he had gcr of 0.7 . He immediately became a figurehead at Arsenal at the time of his arrival. You won't lie, he was one of the best EPL players during his time at Arsenal. |
DesChyko:Lol...maybe we should ask sincere arsenal fans how good Ozil was when they brought him in and ask them of Carzola's importance in that same arsenal team and you're telling me Torres developed in EPL?...really?? jokes. Suarez came to Liverpool and became their best player same way Ronaldo did at Madrid. You talk about Sanchez's form at Udinese, was that same form replicated at Barca? but what happened when he landed at Arsenal, dude excelled effortlessly individually. Injury prone Bale lol, so EPL is tougher and laliga is easier but he wasn't injury prone at the supposed tougher league but came to the easier one and all of a sudden he's injury prone, wow. Now please be honest with your self, you have a chance to pick Tottenham's Bale and Madrid's bale, which would you pick?.....De gea developed at manU, a whole Atletico Madrid's no1 developed at manU. Fergie brought a mere developer to replace a whole Van de sar then what was Ben Foster doing? |
OfficialJayy:Did you call Bale??..really? and Suarez was an already established player before Liverpool signed him, a whole captain of Ajax then. Bale was the best player in EPL before he joined Laliga and guess what?.... Dude hasn't merely shown flashes of the form in Madrid ever since, just like Dembele. Now lemme call mine that left laliga to conquer EPL: dea Gea, fabregas, Courtois, Sanchez, Ozil, David Silva, Torres, Aguero, Yaya toure, Carzola, laporte, |
eni4real:Preach man......pls school them on the truth. |
OfficialJayy:lol...laliga is way too easy? Joke. Pls bro mention 5 players that have come from EPL to laliga and have dominated it exceptionally as an individual. I mean someone who developed as a player in the EPL like Ronaldo, give me four more |
obembet:Lol...... without the hopeless team he wouldn't have scored up to thirty in the first place. Then you also have to check his goal contributions ( assists and chances created) to the team too |
obonujoker:of course not.....same way Messi's PK miss against Chile in the 2016 final wasn't the reason Arg lost the finals else CR7 PK miss against Barca in the semis of the 2008 UCL or his PK miss in the finals too should have cost ManU the CL trophy |
I'm a Messi fan and I'll be honest.... Ronaldo is a very outstanding player and he deserves whatever accolades he's getting now. Messi too is a great player, scoring 25 goals and getting 21 assists, with the highest number of chances created is no small feat at all. Having a whole team being over dependent on you too is not easy at all. A scenario where you're arguably single handedly, the scorer, creator, playmaker, dribbler is not fun at all. Sometimes we forget trophies are achieved by teams and not by single individuals, else Ronaldo's PK miss against Barca in 2008 UCL semis would have prevented manU from reaching the finals and his PK miss in the finals shootout too would have prevented manU from winning the UCL. |
Khriztarl:Thanks alot, I really appreciate. I didn't give much description to the characters because i felt it'd be best if the readers developed their own description of them cause it'd be easier to relate with them. About Liv and Debbie, Liv travelled abroad to get away from all the drama, some sort of emotional rehab I guess and Debbie, Debbie's still mad at Dibz and has distanced herself for now, she definitely come back tho, her role is not yet done same with Liv. Liv would be back but the thing is what would she come back as, would accept things as they are or would she fight it .... |
Contd It didn't take up to two minutes before a bulky dude in a two piece suit , bald head and with glasses too walked up to with a smile. I almost mistook him for a guard because of his size but when he walked to me with an apologetic smile on his face I had rethink. "Hello, you must be Mr. Manuel. I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting this long, please don't be offended", He said with a Nigerian accent, did mention he was black too, definitely Nigerian and maybe Igbo judging from his smooth accent (lol I'm not being tribalist). The anger I felt before had reduced significantly and right now what I just needed was to discuss how I was going to get the necessary funds I needed from inheritance so I just nodded to his apology. "I'm sorry, my name is Nas Arinze, I'm the MD of the bank. Of you'll just follow, Wed head to the vault where the safety deposit boxes containing your key to your part of the vault is", He said as he motioned with his hand the direction we were to be headed. As we walked , I couldn't help but notice the kind of stares I was getting, especially from the security guys, like they were profiling me or something and o could have sworn I saw this MD guy give them sort of signal or maybe I'm just being paranoid, o don't know. We reached a big metal door where Nas punched in some codes and the door beeped before it opened and revealed a really huge room with lots and lots of boxes attached to the walls of the room. As soon as we entered the room the door closed by itself and almost immediately I found myself on the floor, my right arm stretched backwards forcefully. This dude had just attacked from no where for no reason at all. "Now you're gonna tell me who the f***k you are and why you're trying to impersonate a Manuel", he said harshly as he twisted my arm the more. "What are you saying, I am a Manuel, Onyekachi Manuel and....", I couldn't even finish before he twisted my arm again. The pain was too much that suddenly i remembered everything my good Russian friend in prison taught. I leant back a little giving me space to prop my legs on the wall, take some steps on the wall and perform a clean backflip, causing me to free my arm from his grip and land behind him. Without giving him time to understand what just happened, I gave a powerful punch to his throat. That caused a temporary malfunction of his windpipe as he fell to his knees , making choking sounds as he grasped his neck. I then punched him again, this time on his face causing him to blackout instantly. I slid down the wall, sighing heavily while running a hand across my face. What just happened now, I thought as I took another glance at the unconscious mountain of a man. I crawled to where his was, searching him for any weapon, I wasn't sure I'd be able to fight him off again without any when he regained consciousness. I found a gun which I took immediately and I also spotted a tattoo on the lower part of his neck. I had seen a similar one on my grandfather while he was alive and I had always joked about it then when I was little. What are the odds that my grandfather and his accountant or MD of his bank, would have the same tattoo and at the same place too, except...... except they were family related or something, maybe friends or were part of some organization or... organization?.... the gang, the Anika clan. It all made sense now, ofcourse my grandfather would place a gangster to head his bank. The mountain stirred at that point, and I shifted back swiftly. He groaned while touching his head and in the process he eyes landed on me and as if completely recovered, his eyes widened as realization dawned and immediately, he searched himself prolly to pull up the gun or should I call it my gun. "Tsk tsk tsk", I beckoned as I pointed the gun at him. He stopped in his tracks and put his hands up in surrender. "What do you want?", he growled. "Nothing much, just my money and now I'm adding the bank too for this unruly behavior of yours. Do you twist the arms of all your customers?", he said getting up on my feet. "You're not living here alive, there's lots of guys outside this door now as we speak, armed to the teeth", he said smiling devilishly. "Look, I just need to get some money out of my own money and I'd be gone, no need for all these. Why don't you wanna believe I am who I say I am?" "I just have a bad vibe about you and besides if you're truly the heir, then you'd have come sooner or I'd have seen you at the funeral of the boss and another thing, I know the heir, and you look nothing like him", he spat. "B.S, you clearly don't know shit about me. No need to waste any more time, just show me my box or whatever so I'd do my thing". He stood up and I positioned myself with the gun firmly in my hand, Incase he tried anything funny. "Chill, I'm just showing you your box. Let's see how you open it, you impostor", he sneered. He pointed at a box different from the cluster of boxes on the wall. I moved further to the look at it. It had a keypad attached to it and a red light shinning on it. As I made to touch it, the mountain spoke. "I wouldn't do that if I were you, that box has been locked since like forever. It was the personal SDB of the boss while he was alive before he left it for his heir and only he knows the passkey. So if an impostor like you foolishly goes ahead and puts in the wrong password just once, the box releases a poisonous gas immediately and boom we are dead or you're dead. You see when I heard you were around, I figured another impostor had come again...oh you think you're the first to come here claiming to be Onyekachi Manuel? Hahahaha....I knew it might get to this and so I prepared", he said with a mocking smile on his face. He went to a box at the far left of the room, entered some keys and it opened , he collected something like an oxygen mask and donned it. "So you see, if you punch in the wrong password ,you die. If you wait here, my guys would open this door by overriding it, which I'm sure they're doing now by the way and then you'll still die, so either way you die....so what's it gonna be die by gas or by gun?", he laughed. All he said got to me I won't lie. I started panicking but I didn't show it. What if dad had made a mistake in the password he gave me and boom I'm choked to death by some poisonous gas, imagine me dying from poison...God forbid. If I cave in now, I'd die from bullets or even get tortured first, before I'm finally killed. Oh Lord pls turn up for me this time. With my gun stilled trained on him, I punched in the keys on the keypad and hesitated a little before punching the enter key with my eyes closed , ready to accept whatever fate befell me.... TBC |
eni4real:Preach bro.....but still let's not downplay the genius of those wizards. Damn those two were just .....I can't find the words to describe it I swear. Boys could ball and the trio with Messi, just magic, pure magic. There can never ever be such a trio in football again...Never. I tried to think of another nice combo and nothing, even if you've got KDB and Messi in your midfield, which striker will now complete it, a striker near Messi's standard then (with the pace, high dribbling prowess, I mean take-on like 3-4 players kinda dribbling prowess and accuracy,) omo nobody ....even Ronaldo sef. The only person that might likely to be near(in this case like 1000 steps) is Neymar or Mbappe |
DDexter99:lol... thanks man. I'm abit short of ideas now..but I'm open to any tho |
ukaface:Thanks alot..glad you like it |
Ndmichaels:#Respect brother......they haven't even stopped to ask themselves why the best players in that their self acclaimed best league always come to the laliga |
OfficialJayy:Now lemme ask you and please I want you to answer me honestly please. You organized a tournament and two players stood out really well. One played six games and had 3 goals and two assists and was really instrumental too to his team winning the cup. The other played five games and in those games he scored five goals and had 4 assists and he was also really instrumental to his team reaching the finals. Now this guy missed a penalty in the shootout while the other was subbed during the game. Who would you pick as the best player of that tournament, pls and pls be sincere without sentiments to yourself....This is also open to other spectators on this thread. Answer me then I'd get back to you on the whole Modric issue... Thanks |
OfficialJayy:I'm not sugarcoating anything, ok pls tell me how Messi didn't deserve that award. Pull up the stats of that competition and show. Also tell me how Modric didn't deserve the 2018 ballond'or too |
OfficialJayy:Would you give someone something again after he snubbed the first one you gave him before?......pls be truthful. And pls I'll like to know how Messi didn't deserve the 2014 golden ball and tell how it's different from Ronaldo's ballondor in 2013 |
I don't think passing the ball from ter to Suarez back to ter again is Barca's philosophy at all that's not possession at all it's just playing safe waiting for the opponent to slip up before we get a go which most times do not result in a goal.. sometimes Ter has up to 50 passes completed in a match and it's just passes to pique and lenglet. We all watched barca with pep or even Tito, heck even with Enrique, now that was possession, possession that actually created chances and cut defenses open |
Bossman25:. Yeah that's true....but do you think barca has older players than juventus? yet you don't see them slacking like this all the time. |
OBTMOS:Bro I no dey dispute the fact say Madrid deserve laliga...They deserve it cos they worked really hard for it but I'm saying Valverde was better than Setien....dude was top of laliga when he left. At home nobody could even draw us there but now we're even losing there |
