Pep Guardiola blasts Solskjaer for making 1 damaging comment ahead of derby clash

Pep Guardiola has accused Ole Gunnar Solskjaer of attempting to influence referee Andre Marriner by accusing his side of ‘tactical fouling’.

Pep Guardiola has faulted Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s comment after United boss accused City of ‘tactical fouling’ during matches ahead of their derby clash on Wednesday, April 24, at Old Trafford.

According to Metro, the Spaniard believes such statement are capable of influencing referee Andre Marriner decision during tonight’s game, with the Citizens needing a win to reclaim the Premier League top spot from Liverpool.

Speaking during his pre-match press conference, the Norwegian claimed Man City are masters of the dark arts, regularly breaking up play on rare occasions they lose the ball.

“That’s the reason why, of course,” noted Guardiola while responding to a question if he was bothered that Solskjaer’s comments were targeted to unsettle the match official.

“I know exactly what I said to my players from day one to the last day. So when a player wants to attack we have to be honest and of course, there is contact, there are fouls.

“But when it happens and you arrive late, that is why there are referees to make yellow cards, or red cards or whatever they decide but never have I prepared a game to do that.

“But never. I prepare the game to do our own game. That is what I want, of course, knowing the opponent but I never said I am going to do that, punish them or cancel them making fouls. Never,” submitted Guardiola.

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Pep Guardiola declared City are not afraid heading to the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ to battle Man United in a tough EPL showdown on Wednesday, April 24, at Old Trafford.

According to the Mirror, City have claimed five wins with one draw in their last seven trips to their city rivals in the Premier League, with Guardiola stressing the venue no longer has a fear factor for the Citizen - who could not win at Old Trafford for 34 years between 1974 and 1988.

“The reason why is the fact this club in the last decade grew a lot and it's not scary to go there,” noted Guardiola.

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
