- Kepa Arrizabalaga refused to be substituted in Chelsea's EFL Cup defeat to Man City

- The Blues' keeper was to be replaced by Willy Caballero but he refused to be substituted

David Luiz has given an account of what he told teammate Kepa Arrizabalaga when he refused to be substituted deep in extra time.

Maurizio Sarri and Arrizabalaga were the centre of attention in the substitution row as Manchester City beat the Blues' 4-3 on penalties to lift the EFL Cup at Wembley.

The two sides had settled for a barren draw in regular time, forcing the match into extra time.

The extra minutes further failed to produce any goal, with the managers forced to rethink of tactical decisions with the tie destined for penalties.

On his part, Sarri moved to substitute Kepa with Willy Caballero in the dying seconds of the extra time.

However, the decision did not go down well with the Spanish goalkeeper as he refused to be substituted despite going down with a cramp.

Luiz walked up to Kepa in an attempt to convince the goalkeeper to give in to the substitution, but Kepa stood his ground.

"I told him to respect the decision of the coach," the Brazilian revealed moments after the encounter.

Kepa, who is the club's record signing defied the order, as Sarri threw a water bottle to the floor in anger before making for the tunnel.

Chelsea went on to lose the match in the shootout with Kepa making a single save.

Both Luiz and Jorginho missed from the spot as clinical finishes from Man City players gifted the Citizens their first trophy of the season.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported Jose Mourinho has stressed he never had come to across the kind of behaviour Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga exhibited in the Carabao Cup final.

The Spain international refused to be substituted late in extra time for Willy Caballero even when Maurizio Sarri came to the sidelines to order him off.

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
