It’s a very sad one for Nigeria, Africa and the world of football. I was shocked when i woke up this morning to see this news. My heart bleeds,  it’s a great loss. We have just lost another great legend of Nigerian Football. May his soul rest in perfect peace.  I still cherish some memories of him.  I remembered how he used to encourage us when we were young in the Super Eagles. He was a born leader and we called him the big boss.
“He knows how best to motivate per time, his sense of direction does brings confidence in the heart of his followers and that’s obvious in what Keshi stood for.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic unveils 'A-Z'

Remember Swedish powerhouse, Zlatan Ibrahimovic promised to make a big announcement today as regards his next destination, well, he kept true to his words only that the topic was about his new business venture and not his Old Trafford move as many had expected. 

The former PSG striker has unveiled his very own sportswear brand, A-Z. The collections will launch in 11 countries, namely Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Holland , France, the UK, Austria, Spain and Italy. 

“I didn’t start out with high-tech gear playing on a field that was always green. I started out on a hard court outside my mom’s apartment, with a strong mindset. This mindset has taken me on a journey beyond anyone’s expectations. It has brought me to where I am today.” The former Barcelona forward said. 

“You don’t need a lot of gear to train to train hard. All you really need is one t-shirt, one pair of shorts, one pair of shoes. And then it’s up to you.” Zlatan added.
