This is not the first time that a player or coach received death threats because of unfortunate circumstances. Former Watford centre forward, Odion Ighalo was one of Former Chelsea and Italy national team coach, Antonio the first names on the Nigerian team sheet at the recent Conte fell prey to similar attacks from Juventus fans who FIFA World Cup hosted in the cold land of the Russians. He blamed him for the injury of Claudio Marchisio in August played in Nigeria’s first match in the tournament against 2014. Italian Football Federation (FIGC) president Carlo FirstTouch| pg.3 Tavecchio revealed that Conte received death threats on the internet.Soccer fans are entitled to their opinions and reactions after bad performances but there is a line ought to be drawn in terms of expression. Death threats have a toll on a player’s mindset whenever they play as they feel unsafe, even in their own country. Ighalo talked to BBC Sport after revealing that not only him but his family too received such threats. After all, we need to remember that soccer is a sport made possible by these players who represent our clubs and national teams. The players are human beings and have emotions which need to be protected like any other. No one deserves to feel unsafe especially after working their socks off for the love of the game only to be attacked by the very same people they sacrifice a lot for. Denounce these actions and save the lives and careers of our players. We are with you Ighalo! FirstTouch| pg.4 BENNI “Benni is the long-standing record goalscorer for Bafana Bafana so surely giving him a chance to lead McCARTHY: the side wouldn’t be a bad idea after all, or so at least I would like to think, “local is lekker”, as most From Super South African football fanatics would say.” player to Super — SIPHOSETHU THWALA, FIRSTTOUCH AFRICA coach Written By: Siphosethu Thwala Moreover, Mccarthy himself has learnt a great deal as a young coach, making a lot of mistakes while also Recent changes in football have seen an increasing trend making a lot of positive strides while at the helm of of former players venturing into management after the team. All that has enabled the 40-year-old hanging up their boots. For some, things have worked out Mccarthy and his team to finally clinch a cup and open well while on the other hand, the same can’t be said for up the club’s trophy cabinet to introduce their first others. Nonetheless, zooming into our very own continent ever trophy with the hope for more silverware in the we recently witnessed one of the greatest players to ever future. Benni has achieved what only few have been come out from South Africa lifting his first ever cup as able to by winning this cup. With a glamorous football coach. This is none other than Benni “18 area” Mccarthy. career which saw him lift the UEFA Champions League The Cape Town born former Orlando Pirates striker led his with Jose Mourinho during their time at Portugues team FC Cape Town to glory in the recently ended MTN 8 giants FC Porto, an equally glamorous coaching career cup competition. FC Cape Town beat Supersport United 4- is dawning. 1 on penalties to claim the richest cup tournament in the continent cruising all the way to the bank with an 8 million With one cup in the bag, many will agree that the rand cheque ( USD 540 000), quite a historical moment for stakes are now even higher for Benni and consistency Benni in only just his second season as a coach. is key if he is to engrave his name as one of the best local coaches in South Africa. Whether or not he can go on to win the league with his team, is a story for another day. But rest assured, the former Blackburn Rovers marksman certainly has the right attitude which will help him develop faster and become a better coach. Many have even earmarked him as a future Bafana Bafana (the South African men’s national team) coach and I would totally approve of that idea. Mind you, Benni is the long-standing record goalscorer for Bafana Bafana so surely giving him a chance to lead the side wouldn’t be a bad idea after all, or so at least I would like to think, “local is lekker”, as most South African football fanatics would say. His journey as coach has been an encouraging one I must Either way, Benni’s maiden trophy as coach might just say.

Africa (provided he stays consistent and doesn’t get Mind you, he also happened to be the manager when FC the sack). Cape Town lost to the very same Supersport United last season, so this was more like revenge being served at its very best by Benni and company. In his two year stay at the club, Benni has certainly improved both his side as well as himself in the process. FC Cape Town have become an organised side that many teams find hard to break down due to how well they are organised. FirstTouch| pg.5 France - A Great Incubator for African Soccer Talent. A Sustainable System or Not? Written By: Dennis Takaendesa the French leagues, it’s almost certain that they will be of African descent. Francophone West African countries such as Ivory Coast, Togo, Mali as well as Algeria and Tunisia in the north are the most common, as result of the close ties between the above countries and France due to colonial history. France is simply not so uptight with their immigration laws which have amounted to a sizeable number of African parents moving to the country in search of “greener pastures.” Here is the interesting part. An African is born a great football talent - whether or not they grew up playing in the streets with a rubbish ball, dancing past cars. They are simply born good, it seems to always come with the blood. Take my word for it. The reason why African Nabil Fekir of Lyon celebrates after scoring his team's second goal with his team mates during the Group F match of the UEFA Champions League between Manchester City and Olympique Lyonnais countries are not at the top, is just as the adage says - fewer resources or The reigning world champions won the 2018 FIFA World cup in mismanagement of them thereof has seen the style.

  • RONALDO MOST HATED FOOTBALLER in the PREMIERSHIP Submitted By: 10 Yetis PR and Marketing Tuesday, 20 January 2009
    RONALDO MOST HATED FOOTBALLER IN THE PREMIERSHIP Submitted by: 10 Yetis PR and Marketing Tuesday, 20 January 2009 A study of over 2500 football fans has found that Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo is the most hated football player in the Barclays Premiership, despite winning Fifa’s World Player of the Year award and having had a successful season to date. A recent survey asked 2,614 UK-based football fans the multiple answer question, “Which players do you dislike the most in the Barclays Premiership?” Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo topped the poll, taking 48% of the votes. Ronaldo has been the standout recipient of world awards this season, being the current holder of the Ballon d'Or and the reigning FIFPro World Player of the Year, PFA and FWA Player of the Year, but his success in the awards has done little for his public standing, with 69% of fans claiming that he is ‘full of himself’, according to the survey commissioned by sports TV site www.Wheresthematch.com. Senegalese Sunderland striker El-Hadji Diouf came second in the poll of most hated footballers, followed by Newcastle United midfielder and England one-cap Joey Barton, best known publicly for his stint in prison for assault. When asked, “What makes a bad player?”, fans were split. ‘Foul play’ was noted as the main reason with 31%, followed closely by ‘arrogance’, with 28%. ‘Diving’ came in at third, with 19%. ‘Off-field behaviour’ was seventh, with 7% of the votes. There was representation in the survey of every Premiership team.
