Ivan Rakitic: I’d break another finger to win the Copa del Rey




Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic reckons he’d break another finger if it meant winning the Copa del Rey on Saturday at the Wanda Metropolitano. Rakitic is just back from surgery on a fractured finger and is expected to feature in the game against Sevilla. The Croatian joked that he’d be happy to go through more pain if it meant Barcelona scooped the cup for a fourth consecutive season. “The first thing I asked the doctors is when can I play again. Now I’m back and I want to do a good job in every training session,” he said. ”I like being with my team-mates and helping my team, so rest can sometimes interrupt your rhythm. ”I don’t like watching games on TV or in the stands, I get more nervous than when I’m on the field. ”Tomorrow, it’s time to grit my teeth and go into the game. If I had to break another finger to win the game, I would do that.” Source | FourFourTwo

Click here to Join the whatsapp group for all ARSENAL NEWS Unai Emery admitted that he did not know whether Mesut Ozil had even attended Arsenal's 4-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur yesterday, as the German midfielder missed out with an apparent back injury. Ozil was not in the Arsenal squad, having missed the trip to Ukraine this week, and it was claimed by Arsenal sources that he had suffered a recurrence of a back spasm. Ozil had missed Arsenal's game at Fulham on October 7 because of a similar complaint. This fresh back spasm had occurred just days after Ozil was left as an unused substitute for the 2-1 win at Bournemouth. Asked repeatedly about Ozil in his post-match press conference at the Emirates, Emery said that Ozil "has back ache" when asked why he could not play. Asked when Ozil suffered this problem, Emery said that he "did not know". Then asked whether Ozil had even attended the game at the Emirates, Emery said he "did not know". Now fo...

Ex-gov Attah Nigeria'll break up unless. ........,

governor of Akwa Ibom State and co-chairman of Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Obong Victor Attah, has warned that Nigeria may break up unless fiscal federalism is instituted. Attah, who spoke on a private radio station in Uyo, the state capital, yesterday, said the only respite Nigeria has against its imminent disintegration would be to return to fiscal federalism as that remains the only solution to myriad of socio-economic problems besetting the nation. “Under a fiscal regime, as it were in the days of the regions, states, would contribute 50 percent of their resources to the central government and use 50 percent for development of their territories, such that multiplier effects would douse 90 percent of tensions in the country.” Attah, who was governor between 1999 and 2017, said Nigeria would have achieved more significant development if true fiscal federalism had been put in place, instead of what is obtained at the moment. The former chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum d...

BREAKING: Spain's High Court summons Catalan leader amid rebellion charges

Image
   SPAIN'S High Court has called Catalan President Carles Puigdemont to testify later this week. The disposed leader is currently in Brussels and has consulted with a lawyer there. Earlier today Mr Puigdemont warned EU leaders they are facing the “end of the idea of Europe” if they fail to take action over Spain’s “violent and oppressive” response to its independence referendum. The court called for Mr Puigdemont along with 13 other members of his deposed administration to testify on Thursday at 9am (local time). Spain’s Attorney General Jose Manuel Maza filed a lawsuit against Mr Puigdemont on Monday, citing the crimes of rebellion, sedition and embezzlement and the Catalan President faces up to 30 years in prison. According to Spanish law, rebellion charges may apply to those who “violently and publicly” try to “abrogate, suspend or modify the Constitution, either totally or partially,” or “declare the independence of part of the national territory”. The crime of rebel...
