Wenger Says Messi Is Important but Olise Performs Best for Club World Cup
Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has picked Bayern Munich star Michael Olise over Lionel Messi when it comes to the standout stats at the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup. Though Wenger acknowledged Messi’s huge impact on Inter Miami, he made it clear that, in terms of numbers, Olise has been the tournament’s top performer so far.
Speaking ahead of Inter Miami’s Club World Cup Round of 16 clash against PSG, Wenger told journalist Jose Armando that while Messi may not have the best stats, his influence in Major League Soccer cannot be denied. “Messi doesn’t have the best numbers in this tournament, but his presence is why Inter Miami even made it here,” Wenger said. “Without him, they wouldn’t qualify. The difference he brings is clear.”
He praised Michael Olise for his impressive display, pointing out that Bayern Munich would still progress even without him, but Inter Miami’s story is different with Messi. Olise has scored three goals and made two assists in just three matches, while Messi has managed one goal from three appearances.
Former footballer Paul Scholes condemns Martin Odegaard and speaks on his performance in the Arsenal team.
The football legend shared how it is the captain that is bringing the team down, as he is not playing his position properly “That game on Saturday [Arsenal vs Newcastle], I didn’t see all of it, I probably saw the first half an hour, but I think Odegaard is a big problem for them.”
“I love Odegaard, I think he’s brilliant. Technically, he’s great, but he doesn’t play his position properly. Half the time I saw him in the first 20 minutes, he was almost the deepest man.”
Nigerian politician Peter Obi reacts to the viral incident that occurred in Delta State.
It can be noted that Obi is reacting to the clip of a police officer shooting and killing an already restrained suspect.
Obi stated that it was a serious violation and abuse of power “The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, Mr. Mene Ogidi, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.
“Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.”
It has been reported that a four-year ban has been placed on Chelsea’s player, Mykhailo Mudryk, for anti-doping violations.
