Ex Manchester United defender, Gary Neville confesses that he regrets making a cruel comment about former Arsenal and Chelsea player, David Luiz.

David Luiz was an impressive player during his reign in both Arsenal and Chelsea, although he faced a defeat to Liverpool in 2011-2012 campaign. Due to his defeat, Gary Neville stated the player acted like he was controlled by a 10 year old.

David expresses his regret when speaking with Sky Bet “I wish I never said the David Luiz line, about him being a ‘PlayStation player.’ I wish I never said ‘billion-dollar bottle jobs’ about Chelsea.”

Ghana’s Black Galaxies head coach, Mas-Ud Didi Dramani, has expressed confidence in his team’s preparation for the upcoming 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifier against Nigeria.

The two footballing giants will face off this month, with both sides vying for a spot in the competition.

The first leg of the crucial qualifier is scheduled to take place on Sunday at the Accra Sports Stadium, a venue that has been a hub of Ghanaian footballing history.

A week later, the return leg will be held at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Nigeria, where the Black Galaxies will look to seal their place in the final tournament.

Speaking to Ghana Guardian, Dramani shared his thoughts on the high stakes of the match, stating, “In football, when you want to get to the top, you should be ready to meet the top liners.

For me, it was not surprising that we were meeting in Nigeria.”

Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman has credited Serie A club Atalanta for playing a crucial role in his impressive rise to football stardom.

After a challenging start to his career, Lookman’s move to Atalanta in 2022 proved to be the turning point he needed.

Before joining the Italian club, Lookman struggled to find his footing in the Premier League, having stints at Everton, Fulham, and Leicester City without making a significant impact.

His time at Bundesliga side RB Leipzig also proved difficult, and for a while, it seemed as though his potential might go unfulfilled.

However, everything changed when Lookman made the move to Atalanta.

In just a short time, he transformed into one of the most exciting forwards in Europe, a feat that culminated in him being named Africa’s best player during the prestigious awards ceremony in Marrakech, Morocco.

Reflecting on his success, Lookman explained that the environment at Atalanta has been key to his development.

“The environment that the club provided for me has been a huge factor in my growth as a player,” he shared in an interview with Flashscore.

“It’s not just about my personal belief in myself, but also about the perfect timing.

I’ve always known I could achieve great things, and now, the time has come.”
