A random Barca fan remembering that on 18th Dec '22, right before the penalties against France, he said: “God, let us win today and may everything go to hell for the next 20 years”

🚨 Barcelona confirm it will be Lamine Yamal to speak with Hansi Flick ahead of Atlético Madrid game.

And it's not just trivelas that went through similar process, his whole game did. Early in the season Lamine Yamal was trying too hard, using almost every possession to go at defenders consistently, to force shots and waste his energy when game state didn't require him to do that. Doing this gave us a different Yamal, who was still great and impactful, but one that went a bit far from what makes him special - he played less with the flow, with the maturity and relied less on his creativity and more on his athleticism, his dribbling and capacity to repeat high intensity actions endless amounts of time. Luckily that didn't last too long because he bounced back and went back to his usual self with all the improvements and experiences he gained along the way. In last 2 months we've seen a player who's deadly in isolation, who's deadly with his trivelas, who started coming inside a bit more often and making these runs behind - something he didn't do before. Today he had a good period of match where he disconnected a bit and just rested, didn't force anything, observed and when he gathered information he started dominating the match again and he finished them off in that period of time. If that sounds familiar, well yes, it is, Messi did that for ages and Lamine is showing signs of developing that part of the game before he reached 19 years of age.

Can we find a way to repatriate diaspora remittance into a big large investment funds. All our japa people that want to start businesses and are scared of family ruining their capital. They can pull it together into a very big investment fund manager by private equity, and it’s invested into various sectors and companies that have potential. It would be cheaper and easier access to capital and a lower risk, and they can pull out at IPO and recoup their money, some would fail, but majority would succeed. These investments funds would be listed on the NGX and compliance would be 100% compulsory. The UK has over 330 investment entities that target SME and is listed on the London stock exchange. We have millions of SME in Nigeria, and capital is the major issue for most, banks would not borrow them at good rates, or give them the patience to fail or they need to always have collateral. Muslims in diaspora can have their halal investment fund, just pull funds and list on the NGX and these funds would invested in businesses and idea in Nigeria.
