Na so wahala dey unfold for Genk as dem prepare to face Rangers for Europa League wey go happen for Ibrox. Genk don dey struggle this season, just like dem kokoroko Rangers. (If you dey look for drama, you go find am for football!)
Manager Thorsten Fink dey waka under serious gbege. If you sabi the story, e get as e be, last season start fine, but na downhill e come go. Dem don gather only two wins from eight matches, dey lag behind Club Brugge wey dey dash dem well well.
As it stand, Genk dey sit for 14th position, just resemble dem bottom four like bad traffic for Lagos. Dem never fit keep clean sheet for dis season, 10 matches plus no shutout? Na wah! (If dem no fit defend, wetin dem wan achieve?)
New goalkeeper, Tobias Lawal, don take over as dem dey replace Hendrik van Crombrugge wey don carry injury come back. Lawal hope say dis one go fit turn dem luck around. Before you sabi am well, dem fit need another miracle to catch up with leaders USG.
Na true say, dem lose their main man, Tolu Arokodare, wey don waka go Wolves for big money, £23m go Molineux. E gree say injury play part but the drop don happen before him departure. Now, dem dey struggle to find their goal-scoring rhythm. Hyeon-gyu Oh wey don play for Celtic, sef no dey fit shine like before. (Folk say na football, but e no easy at all o!)
But as dem dey gbadun prepare for Thursday, good news dey come with a new talent wey dey fit return. Dis 17-year-old pioneer don already vex Scotland well when e waka face dem for Hampden. Na still Genk talent wey dem go dey watch out for.
Thomas Buffel, former star wey don play for both clubs, don put mouth for matter. E dey predict say Genk go cause shock for Ibrox. But no be easy game be that, especially as Rangers don dey try recover from their own weekend loss. (Like dem say, na who get luck go carry the day.)
No matter how e be, if either team fit find dem groove for Thursday night, one go surely collect bragging rights, even if the other waka back to dem drawing board. Na football be dis, anything fit happen!
