SportsTrue Life Story by obinnasmith(op): 4:12pm On Mar 23, 2022
The late king of a certain community had ten wild dogs. He used them to torture and eat any of his servants who made a mistake. One of the servants gave an opinion that was wrong, and the king didn’t like it at all. So he ordered that the servant be thrown to the dogs.
The servant said, “I served you for ten years, and you do this to me? Please give me ten days before throwing me to those dogs!” The king agreed.
In those ten days, the servant went to the guard who looks after the dogs and told him he would like to serve the dogs for the next ten days. The guard was baffled but agreed, and the servant started feeding the dogs, cleaning for them, bathing them, and providing all sorts of comfort for them.
When the ten days were over, the king ordered that the servant be thrown to the dogs for his punishment. When he was thrown in, we were all amazed to see the ravenous dogs only licking the feet of the servant!
The king, baffled at what he was seeing, said,
”What has happened to my dogs?”
The servant replied, "I served the dogs for only ten days, and they didn’t forget my service. Yet I served you for a whole ten years and you forgot all, at my first mistake!"
The king realized his mistake and ordered the servant to be set free.
This post is a message to all those who forget the good things a person does for them as soon as the person makes a mistake towards them. Don’t put out the history that is filled with good because of a mistake you don’t like.

SportsReal Madrid 0-4 Barcelona: Pierre-emerick Aubameyang Scores Twice by obinnasmith(op): 9:36am On Mar 21, 2022
Real Madrid 0-4 Barcelona: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scores twice as league leaders thrashed in El Clasico
Report as league leaders Real Madrid are dominated by Barcelona at the Bernabeu; Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scores twice and grabs an assist in spectacular Barca performance, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang celebrates scoring with his Barcelona teammates.
Barcelona took their resurgence under Xavi to another level by thrashing rivals and runaway La Liga leaders Real Madrid 4-0 in El Clasico.

Real Madrid were on their best Clasico run in years, having won the last five meetings in all competitions and started the day 15 points clear of Barcelona in La Liga - however, they were met by a rejuvenated and revitalised Barca, who ripped them apart in every department.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice and provided an assist for Ferran Torres, while Ronald Araujo also headed home in a rampant performance by the visitors. Aubameyang has now scored nine goals in his 11 appearances since arriving from Arsenal.

Former Arsenal striker Aubameyang had already been denied from close range by Thibaut Courtois when he popped up with the opener on 29 minutes, bulleting a header home following a fine run and cross from Ousmane Dembele.

Real Madrid looked lost without Karim Benzema, who was missing through a calf injury, and it was no surprise when Araujo doubled the lead when heading home from another Dembele cross.

Carlo Ancelotti changed the shape of his runaway league leaders at the break but it did not change the trajectory of the game as Barcelona were soon 3-0 up when Torres spanked home a fine finish following a fine flicked Aubameyang assist.

Player ratings
Real Madrid: Courtois (7), Carvajal (5), Militao (5), Alaba (5), Nacho (5), Casemiro (5), Kroos (5), Modric (6), Valverde (6), Rodrygo (6), Vinicius (6)

Subs: Camavinga (6), Mejia (6), Asensio (6), Vazquez (6)

Barcelona: Ter Stegen (cool, Araujo (cool, Pique (7), Garcia (7), Alba (cool, Busquets (7), De Jong (7), Pedri (9), Torres (9), Dembele (9), Aubameyang (9)

Subs: Traore (7), Depay (7), Gaviria (7), Alves (N/A), Iglesias (N/A)

Man of the match: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

The one-way traffic towards Courtois' goal continued and Aubameyang grabbed his second on 51 minutes. His fine finish was originally disallowed for Torres being offside in the build-up but VAR overturned the decision in favour of Xavi's men.
Barca had several opportunities to extend their lead, but Courtois avoided any further humiliation.

The title might be heading to Real Madrid as they remain nine points clear but this was a famous night for Barcelona, who sent out a clear message to the footballing word: Barca are back.

Xavi: We could have scored even more

Aubameyang celebrates after giving Barcelona the lead at Real Madrid
After his Barcelona side produced a first Clasico victory in seven attempts - they had lost their last five meetings - Xavi Hernandez said: "We're very happy, very satisfied for all the Barca supporters.

"The meaning of this victory, I think it can change, more or less, the dynamics of the present and also of the future. That's the first thing I want to say. As far as the game, we had understood that [Luka] Modric and [Toni] Kroos were out, and we looked for the backs of the interior players of Real Madrid.

"[David] Alaba was also jumping on Frenkie [de Jong], and then Ousmane [Dembele] was one against one. We have shown a lot of personality. I asked the players, I told them it was a game to have a lot of personality, to be bold, not to lose the ball.

It was Real's first home defeat of the season, in the midst of their 120th-anniversary celebrations.

Xavi added: "I asked them not to lose any silly balls, because that's what Madrid takes advantage of, and we have reinforced it with the transitions and [Ronald] Araujo defending Vinicius. So the game has been under control. We have been in control with [Pierre-Emerick] Aubameyang.

"We have understood that we have to read between the lines. We have recovered many balls from the opposition. We have created many chances with attacking moves. I think we have been far superior to Real Madrid and we could have scored even more goals.

"It's very difficult to win 4-0 at the Bernabeu playing so well, and I'm very happy for the players, because some of them were going through difficult times in their careers. They were criticised and judged, and today they have proved they are wonderful players.

"They have personalities, they are bold, and this is the way forward. As a coach I am new, and winning 4-0 at the Bernabeu reinforces my role. It reinforces the project, the idea of the game, the model of the game we want to follow. We have no doubt that Barca should compete playing the way we have played tonight."

SportsMessi 'a Fraud' And Neymar 'is Hated'- PSG In Crisis As Fans Boo Star Duo by obinnasmith(op): 11:40am On Mar 14, 2022
Kylian Mbappe was spared the jeers and whistles on Sunday as his illustrious team-mates were on the receiving end of vociferous fan protests Revolution is brewing in Paris. Five days after watching their side disintegrate in the Champions League last 16 against Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain’s supporters made it clear that they have finally had enough.
As their side took another step along the procession that is their walk to the Ligue 1 title by beating Bordeaux 3-0 on Sunday, Parc des Princes turned into a bear pit.
Only Kylian Mbappe was spared.
With the players out on the field awaiting kick-off, Neymar and Lionel Messi were among those jeered by the crowd as the team line ups were read out.
During the game, the PSG team was taunted remorselessly by their own Ultras, with Bordeaux passes given ‘oles’.
Perhaps most embarrassingly of all, Neymar was booed as he celebrated scoring the second goal.
It would be a mistake to interpret this jeering as spoiled supporters angry at their team’s failure to progress in the Champions League.
Neymar is inevitably at the forefront of this, having endured a season that has been of a catastrophically impoverished standard.
RMC pundit Daniel Riolo said: “We have not only let this player rot, we have turned him into a monster. Neymar has become a monster who, moreover, is no longer even a footballer.
“Do you realise what he stands for? The highest salary in the club’s history, the man who was supposed to take PSG to the top....
“Today, this player is hated everywhere. His attitude, his moods, everything he does, you can’t be a player and be hated so much, you can’t. There has never been a player as hated as him.”
PSG are now reportedly willing to offload Neymar less than a year after he signed a fresh four-year deal, yet takers are sure to be thin on the ground given his astronomical salary.
Meanwhile, there is the Messi problem.
The Argentine has played better for PSG than he has been given credit for, particularly in 2022, but the optics are poor.
His lacklustre figures are not helped by his attitude towards defending, which is magnified now that he is a front three comprising two equally reluctant defenders.
“Those responsible for the defeat, for me, are Neymar and Messi,” former PSG and France star Jerome Rothen told RMC after the Real Madrid loss.
“When Leonardo signed them, he put them up on a pedestal for us: they are legends, they have their status and they are paid for it.
“I’m not attacking Marco Verratti, Danilo, Leandro Paredes or Mbappe. I’m going after the other two, the two mercenaries.
“I’m afraid to talk about Messi as a fraud, but it’s the reality. Yesterday, he walked around the pitch. Luka Modric had him in his pocket.”
But the issues that PSG are facing are not just on field, and that is perhaps why the weekend’s protests were so potent and meaningful.
The whole structure of the club is under attack. And it is long overdue.
Sporting director Leonardo long escaped criticism, despite a persistently disconnected transfer policy. Ultimately, the responsibility for a squad that is so unwieldy, yet also so incredibly imbalanced, is down to the Brazilian.
Last summer’s transfer campaign seemed to be based more around signing big names than addressing issues in the squad. Messi, Georginio Wijnaldum and Sergio Ramos have all been flops.
Head coach Mauricio Pochettino has been left with a squad that was tactically unworkable, and, while he might certainly have found some more effective solutions, is less culpable for this mess than those above him.
After all, it is Al-Khelaifi who has allowed Leonardo’s laissez-faire approach to dealing with the capriciousness of Neymar and the club’s other stars to become endemic.
In 2020, Belgium international right-back Thomas Meunier told RTBF: “When I was at Club Brugge, we'd celebrate birthdays by playing darts or pool in a bar, but at PSG it's just outrageous.
"But that just reflects the club: hire a palace, hire a building, parties with hundreds of people. That's when you see that they're more than footballers; they're stars.
“I always had a good time but it was all a bit extravagant and 'did you see me?' But that's part of it, part of the game.”
Things have not changed. In fact, it only seems to have become worse.
SportsJurgen Klopp: I Feel For Thomas Tuchel And Chelsea's Players After Roman Abramov by obinnasmith(op): 3:53pm On Mar 11, 2022
Abramovich had put Chelsea up for sale, only for that process to be temporarily halted after his assets were frozen.
The sanctions are intended to stop Abramovich from making any money in the UK, including from any potential sale of Chelsea, and describe the 55-year-old as having had a "close relationship for decades" with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
And while Klopp has sympathy for his compatriot, Chelsea manager Tuchel, and his players, he said he also supported the government's decision.
"Thomas [Tuchel] and I know each other but we are not that close that we chat," he said. "Around the games, yes, but not in other moments.
"Of course I feel for him and the players and all the employees at Chelsea because it's obviously not a (nice) situation.
"It's nothing they are responsible for, what happens around.
"There is one man who is really responsible and that's Vladimir Putin. I don't know about Roman Abramovich's role in all these kind of things. But over the years you could guess that maybe he is pretty close.
"I think what the British Government did is right, to be 100% honest. But it is still not cool for the people at Chelsea and the supporters. I get that.
"But I think the things the Government did are right."
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta backed Tuchel to continue handling a difficult situation with integrity.
"I think it's an extremely difficult situation to manage and I think he will try to manage it in the best possible way, with the integrity Thomas has always shown, and try not to get too involved," said Arteta ahead of Arsenal's Super Sunday clash against Leicester. #ilot.ng
