Barcelona, Spain
As e be so, Marc Bernal don enter the list of players wey go represent Catalonia for dem match wey dem go play against Palestine on the 18th of November, for Estadi Olímpic Lluis Companys. The boy wey be midfielder from Berga get big chance to show him skills after him long injury matter. Gerard López, di selector, don call him to wear di four bars for special charity occasion. E go really dey enter history books, no be small!
Wetin dey pain some pipo na say Bernal no don play plenty minutes for Barcelona this season. Na only 32 minutes he don spend for di field over five matches. E be like say dem dey hold am like egg, wey dem no wan break. (All these long story for football fit confuse person, but na how e be!)
Before dis match, Hansi Flick, di coach for Barcelona, don already express im anger when dem call Bernal for U-21 selection before, claiming di player never full ready yet. But as di matter don be, dem have arranged to allow di boy shine small in dis friendly match.
Di match against Palestine no just be ordinary game oh; na for charity too, to help di people wey dey suffer for Palestine. Na big blessing for Bernal to make im debut with di Catalonia national team, as e dey represent Barcelona too. (E fit eventually locate him dance steps again after all di injury wahala.)
Di only problem wey fit dey inside na say if e no fit catch more minutes after dis match, e fit need to look for another club come January. E don dey notice say e dey git problem with playing time, and we all sabi say no be wetin person dey like – to dey sit down for bench like say na Olympic sport.
Some fans don dey throw shade at am, saying how dem go call am to represent “imaginary country”, but e no fit allow dem spoil im joy. E only need to dey focus now and take every chance wey e gets to shine for di pitch. Na him own show now, and e fit change di narrative if him go out there dey ball!
