Como, Italy — Wetin dey happen to Dele Alli? E be like say di English midfielder don waka enter serious wahala as e dey consider whether to hang him boot for good or make am continue to dey chase ball.
At 29 years old, na so e don enter plenty people eye when e burst onto di scene at Tottenham at age 19. But now, him and Cesc Fàbregas no dey see eye to eye for Como, as di coach don put am for bench since dem sign am.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Dele no fit even find him way into di pre-season team nor di regular squad. Instead, he dey work out as padi with other players wey no dey fit into Fàbregas’ plans. (I mean, who wan be workout partner wey no go fit score goals?)
Wetin bring all dis trouble? E suppose come back strong after multiple injuries, but di only match wey e play for Como, na di one wey e come on for 81 minutes and by 90’ +1, di referee don show am red card. Just like dat e don spoil wetin fit be another chance for redemption. (Talk about a dramatic comeback failed badly!)
From di news, e get one year left on im contract, but e dey contemplate ‘Should I just call it a day?’ E be like say e no wan make dis football wahala continue dey disturb am for head o.
Dele had once bright future—na him wey dey represent England and dey gbagba goals for Tottenham. But somehow, di talent wey shine bright now dey dim out like faulty bulb. Lesions don pile up, and struggles both on and off di pitch don turn im career to one serious rollercoaster. Di hopes wey everybody get for am don dey fade like sweet sugar when rain fall.
As news dey fly say e dey think about retirement, e dey show how harsh di football world fit be, especially when talent no be enough to keep you afloat. Di game no dey forgive oh, and we no fit help but wonder how di same player wey dey run show from football speed now dey consider say maybe na time to rest.
Na true saying wey dem talk, “life no dey easy” but as Dele dey ponder di next chapter for im life, we dey watch closely. We fit just dey witness di end of one great football story. (Or maybe just di start of another journey, who sabi?)
