Conte Names New Mikel, Five Players Of Nigerian Descent To Chelsea Premier League Roster

-
Chelsea have submitted their squad list for the remainder of the 2017-2018 campaign to the Premier League following the close of the January transfer window.
The Blues Italian manager Antonio Conte has named as many as six players of Nigerian descent to the roster but in reality only two players can feature for the club.
Super Eagles stars Victor Moses and Ola Aina, England international Tammy Abraham, Young Lions stars Ike Ugbo, Tariq Uwakwe and Fikayo Tomori were all included.
Abraham has been loaned out to Swansea City for the remainder of the season, Ugbo is at MK Dons until June, while defensive pair Aina and Tomori will not be available for selection as they have been loaned out to Hull City.
Moses is Chelsea's first-choice right wing-back and will continue to make the match day squads, barring an injury.
Tariq Uwakwe, who has been dubbed the new Obi Mikel due to his ability to play several positions in midfield, has yet to debut for the first team but is one of the most important players for the U18s.
The London native joined Chelsea at U8 level and signed his first professional contract with the club in 2016.

Shaku Shaku: The origin and enablers of the viral street dance

-

Olamide Olamide took the fourth edition of his annual OLIC concert to the mainland for the first time; it’s obvious that the rap superstar has outgrown Eko Hotel’s overused Convention Center. The timely relocation granted ‘home advantage,’ of sorts, not only to the King of the Streets but also to the underground acts he customarily gives a platform to, as they performed in their natural habitat. In 2017, one of those acts was DJ Real, who’d built a solid reputation for hosting mixtapes containing the biggest street anthems, and for his work on local radio. The diminutive DJ is not to be mistaken for Mr. Real, the artist behind the street anthem “Legbegbe” (featuring Idowest, Obadice and Kelvin Chuks), who also performed at OLIC 4 and has played a significant role in the spread of a new viral dance called “shaku shaku”. Shaku shaku is a dance that’s performed by crossing your arms in front of each other at the wrist, widening your legs slightly, and launching into a graceful half-ga

What Antonio Conte said to Lionel Messi after Barcelona win, defeated boss reveals conversation

Lionel Messi helped book Barcelona’s place in the Champions League quarter-finals against Chelsea, with Antonio Conte seen in discussion with him after the game. The Argentine icon scored twice in a 3-0 win in the second leg at the Nou Camp on Wednesday night, adding to his strike at Stamford Bridge in the first leg as he was a crucial factor in the victory. Chelsea arguably played better football in the return fixture as they got themselves into plenty of threatening positions throughout the game, but couldn’t take their chances while also hitting the woodwork twice. In turn, with Barcelona not at their best, they had to rely on Messi to guide them forward, as he has done on countless occasions in the past. Much was made of the exchange between the Barcelona star and Chelsea boss Conte after the game, with BT Sport commenting on it too, as seen in the tweet below, while Gary Lineker joked in the studio that the Italian was ‘tapping him up’. Both made an attempt to cover their mo

Is there still any doubt that Ronaldo CR7 is better than Messi?

There's actually no debate that Messi is still WAY BETTER than Ronaldo. Team trophies aside (which Messi has more of despite being younger), Messi is simply the better player individually. They are both incredible  goalscorers , Cristianohas several goalscoring records (Madrid’s all time top-scorer, for example) and same goes for Messi (Most goals ever scored in a single calendar year, most Clasico goals, most league goals ever scored in one season). But that is the  only  aspect in which they are somewhat comparable. No one compares them based on  playmaking ability  because Cristiano basically has no playmaking ability, unlike Messi who actually won IFFHS’s “best play-maker in the world” award the past 2 seasons. Also, no one compares them based on  dribbling ability  because everyone knows Messi is light-years ahead of Cristiano (Cristiano has more unsuccessful dribble attempts than successful ones this season), while on the other hand there is obviously no need to speak abo
