Mourinho's Best XI He Has Coached : The Four Nigerian Stars Snubbed By Portuguese Super Coach

Mourinho's Best XI He Has Coached : The Four Nigerian Stars Snubbed By Portuguese Super Coach
Portuguese super coach Jose Mourinho has unveiled the best possible starting eleven he has coached with four Nigerian stars failing to make the cut.

In a coaching career spanning two decades, Mourinho has handled União de Leiria, Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

Despite pushing for the signing of John Obi Mikel in 2006, he has omitted the former Super Eagles captain from the squad. 

For the defensive midfield role, Mourinho selected ex-France World Cup star Claude Makélélé ahead of Mikel. 

A decision that didn't come as a surprise was leaving out Victor Moses, who didn't play a single competitive match under Mourinho and was sent on loan to Liverpool, Stoke City and West Ham while the Portuguese was in the Chelsea dugout. 

Moses played in several pre-season games during Mourinho's time at Stamford Bridge and scored against PSG in an International Champions Cup clash in July 2015. 

Super Eagles right-back Ola Aina, who trained several times with the Chelsea first team under the tutelage of Mourinho and was involved in pre-season games, was not handed a starting berth. 

Mourinho worked with Victor Obinna at Inter Milan during the 2008-2009 season but the versatile winger didn't make the cut. 

Mourinho's Ultimate XI: Petr Cech, Javier Zanetti, John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho, William Gallas, Claude Makelele, Frank Lampard, Mesut Ozil, Cristiano Ronaldo, Eden Hazard and Didier Drogba

OBi Cubana Clears The Air On Those criticizing Him And Calling Him Ritualist

  Obi Cubana Has This to Say About His Critics    "I want to state this clearly, I am not the talking type or Social media interest-free person" "Many have questioned the type of boys and friends I have, to me, I hardly address anyone as my boy because we are all boys to God Almighty.  I don't have any boy who is into rituals, if you are my boy or my man because I like to address my boys as my men, it means you are working hard and you purely made your money.  In 2013, I pushed 53 uneducated Oba boys into the market to learn to trade. In 2017, I withdrew all of them from their Ogas and settled all of them with 3million Naira each and paid for their shops.  I linked 40 of them into importation and made them use my name and platform to import goods into the country. After two years, I checked on them how they were doing and find out some had issues and I supported them again to stand.  I am happy today that out of the 53 men, 38 are billionaires while th...

New discovery shows human cells can write RNA sequences into DNA

  Date: June 25, 2021 Source: Thomas Jefferson University Summary: In a discovery that challenges long-held dogma in biology, researchers show that mammalian cells can convert RNA sequences back into DNA, a feat more common in viruses than eukaryotic cells. Cells contain machinery that duplicates DNA into a new set that goes into a newly formed cell. That same class of machines, called polymerases, also build RNA messages, which are like notes copied from the central DNA repository of recipes, so they can be read more efficiently into proteins. But polymerases were thought to only work in one direction DNA into DNA or RNA. This prevents RNA messages from being rewritten back into the master recipe book of genomic DNA. Now, Thomas Jefferson University researchers provide the first evidence that RNA segments can be written back into DNA, which potentially challenges the central dogma in biology and could have wide implications affecting many fields of biology. This work opens the doo...

There’s an Epidemic That’s a Bigger Threat Than the Coronavirus

There’s an Epidemic That’s a Bigger Threat Than the Coronavirus And we’re largely ignoring it Dr. David L. Katz Feb 28  · 8 min read Photo: ArtistGNDphotography/E+/Getty Images Y ou are, probably, worrying about coronavirus. For most of us, the anxious questions are: Am I going to get the coronavirus? Is someone I love going to get it? If we do, is it going to kill us? For starters, let’s be clear that  no one ever gets a health guarantee . You might still have a heart attack even if you do everything advisable to avoid one. If you eat optimally, exercise, don’t smoke, and so on- you make heart disease or cancer vastly less probable, but you don’t get a guarantee. Human health simply does not come with those. And, of course, you can do everything right to be fit and healthy and keep your coronaries pristine, reliably avoid heart disease, and still get hit by a bus, or a falling tre...
