Amsterdam, Netherlands
Omo, if you no sabi wetin dey happen for football world, make I break am down for you. Cristiano Ronaldo, the one wey everybody dey talk about, don dey close to him 1000th career goal! This guy don score 942 goals so far (no be beans o!), and him fans dey look up to him like dem dey wait for fresh jollof on Sunday.
Last Saturday, Ronaldo carry the Portuguese national team go dey chop Armenia pepper, as e score two goals for the World Cup qualifiers (the match end 5-0, you fit shout!). The man dey ready to make history as Sneijder don dey believe say him go fit hit that 1000 mark fast, like dey quick don drop hot buffet for table.
Wesley Sneijder, the former Dutch international wey no dey play small small, don come give gist during one football talk show for Ziggo Sport. E talk say, ‘No worry, Ronaldo go hit the thousand goals, no be joke!’ As he dey yarn, he even mention say him don fit crosstalk with Al-Nassr technical director, Simão Coutinho, wey be Ronaldo padi.
Sneijder come talk say, ‘I jokingly tell am say I dey train, and in six months I go fit come play.’ Haters for the studio fit japa, as he say this one, Ronaldo dey smile like say dem don catch am for sweet gist. Coutinho don carry the matter come meet Ronaldo, and e react with serious laughter (you know say Ronaldo no dey carry face for this kind matter).
Meanwhile, the guy dey train to make sure say everything dey set for that big moment (who no go like to be part of history?). Sneijder just dey dangle the idea say, ‘Ronaldo say make I come gist him how I fit assist him for the 1000th goal.’ Abeg, if na me, I for don organize big party hold small grass for him to score am!
For this world of sports, na any small gist fit turn big story. Sneijder dey ready for any drama as he joke say he go train hard in the next six weeks. That means we dey mediate for excitement wey go land. Imagine Ronaldo waving him hands like say him dey shout ‘Yessssss!’ for the crowd as him ball enter net. E go shake ground!
