“I’m very happy. The city is really nice, the fans are very kind and Juventus is a fantastic club, that is incredibly organized,” explained CR7.

“The players here are humble & they work very hard. It’s been fantastic.

“This is the best group I’ve ever played with. At Juventus we really feel like a team, unlike elsewhere where some players feel like they are better than others.

“Here everyone is humble, if Dybala or Mandzukic don’t score you see still see them happy. That is beautiful.

“They are very different. Juventus is more of a family.”

“If I face Real Madrid in the Champions League? The past is the past. Now I just want to win with Juventus, to defend those colors, the rest doesn’t count. If I face Real, I will give my maximum.

“Marcelo or Asensio to Juventus? I see that you write about everyone, from James to Bale to Asensio, but to be honest, Juventus does not need any other players.

“For the future? I don’t know, you might want to speak to the president. Marcelo? He is a strong player."

Ronaldo was also quick to debunk he joined the Bianconeri because he wanted the Champions League and break the club's 20-year jinx in the competition.

“I’ve said it before, and I’ll repeat: the Champions League should not be an obsession, and shouldn’t be faced like one.

“It’s a competition that you should face with tranquility. It’s a dream, we all want to win it."

CR7 missed out in the 2018 Ballon d'Or to former teammate Luka Modric believes he deserved to win it but congratulated the Croatian.

“I thought that I deserved it, I did everything on the field, the numbers do not lie. But it’s not the end of the world, I respect the decision and congratulations to Modric.

“Disappointed? Yes, but life goes on & I will work hard to win it next year.”

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
