Like Marriage Like Football, Part 5

Transfer Window contd)

Welcome to another lovely read of Like Marriage Like Football. Today we continue to explore the similarities of marriage and football with an expansion to our last topic the‘transfer window.’

Some lady’s don’t need the hassles of flirting with two guys before choosing their dream guy. Sometimes she just waits for the guy to say the right words before she commits herself because even before the guy started his scouting mission her answer has always been a big YES!

But she allows the rumours grow about her being so beautiful yet single or claims of her waiting for the right time or taking a break from all the relationship stress.

Talking about taking breaks, Pep Guadiola took a break at the summer of 2012 from coaching after he had led an incredible FC Barcelona side with arguably the greatest football player of this generation Lionel Messi aka Baba kekere, to 14 trophies in four years.

Pep’s feat was achieved beating the finest teams in world football which includes Manchester united, Arsenal, AC Milan, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Valencia, and Santos handled by great managers like Sir Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho, Arsenal Wenger etc.

This made him the most sort after manager in the world and like that girl whom already knew her man but awaits his words, Guadiola allowed the media speculate of him moving to some of the richest teams in the world (Real Madrid, Manchester City, Paris Saint German) and news of him echoed that he may replace great coaches like Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United or Arsenal’s manager, Arsene Wenger aka Baba Ijebu (Arsenal) and even a possible return to Barcelona was mooted.

But as the media debate where Guadiola may likely end up, only a few guessed it was Bayern Munich. The Bavarians announced on their official website that they had agreed a deal that will see Pep Guadiola coach their team for the next three years.

And just like that girl that knew where she’s headed but kept calm until the right words came, his agent confirmed the deal was struck around December 20, 2012 while Bayern announced the deal in January 2013, so people can be wrong in their speculations about you sometimes, just keep calm and stay focused especially because “Oluwa is involved” like Nigerians love to say.
