Pep Guardiola warns UCL quarter-finalists on what to expect from Man City stars

- Man City progressed to the quarterfinal of the Champions League after thrashing Schalke 7-0 to win 10-2 on aggregate

- Pep Guardiola insists Leroy Sane and others have to improve on their performances

- The EPL leaders have now netted 61 times since the turn of the year

Pep Guardiola has warned Champions League quarter finalists to beware of Manchester City after the Etihad dwellers thrashed Schalke 7-0 to seal the spot in the last eight.

According to Daily Mail, the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss is also expecting more top class performance in the later round of the Champion League, with more expected to come from Leroy Sane and teammates after scoring 61 times since the start of 2018.

“When I said we are a teenage team in this competition, I didn't say we are not going to fight," Guardiola said.

“Teenagers have patience, desire, they are not scared. We are trying to achieve for the second time in our history a semi-final of the Champions League.

“It is why when the people say you have to win, you have to win, when you are out in the quarter-finals, it is a disaster, it is not fair.

“Real Madrid is out and Atletico Madrid is out and PSG is out and it is unfair, this competition, because it is incredibly tough.

“There are incredible teams so when we are through the group stages, I am happy. It is so nice to be in the quarters for the third time in our history,” he stressed.

Speaking further, Guardiola revealed he would prefer former club Bayern Munich to send Liverpool packing from the Champions League on Wednesday night, even as he is demanding more from his wingers in the next round.

He further explained that Man City will be kicked out of the Champions League in the next round if they struggle in the first leg tie.

“Leroy was not aggressive enough in the first 20 minutes,” Guardiola added.

“I like when he runs and goes, lose the ball, doesn't matter.

“It is the same with Raheem Sterling. The first half in the last game was not good. The second was much better. Today was better. But they are young.

“We cannot forget these games. We played 2-1 down with one man down, in normal circumstances you are out, you come here with 3-1 and 4-1. We survived this time.

“Juventus, this guy Cristiano Ronaldo, goes there to win the Champions League with Juventus.

“He has all the pressure on his shoulders, he scores three against Atletico and go through, that is the type of guy you face to achieve the next stages.

“I want Bayern, sorry for the English people I am big fan of this club and I love Munich and all the people, I would like Bayern to go through but it will not be easy it is so demanding a game for both,” Guardiola submitted.

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick as Juventus sent Atletico Madrid packing from the Champions League with a 3-0 defeat on Tuesday, March 12.

The Bianconeri made their intentions known right from the fourth minute as Ronaldo contested for the ball with Jan Oblak which fell kindly to Giorgio Chiellini who earlier flicked a header.

The Italian defender slammed home the ball as fans at the Allianz Stadium in Turin went into wild celebrations.

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
