Rico became the second youngest player to debut in the European competition with some days shy of his 18th birthday.


Pep Guardiola has always insisted on the importance of each and every of his squad members saying everyone has a contribution to make should the side fancy winning more silverware. This was evidenced by the manager giving game time to sensational Cole Palmer, wingback Rico Lewis and LB Josh Wilson - Esbrand.


Rico made his first full debut pinning a one time strike that went over Bono's palms. He celebrated thereafter with a hand - over - mouth. His goal was a joy for fellow teammates especially with it being an equaliser after Sevilla had planted from the header a sumptuous goal.


With Lewis and co, the club is guaranteed of future talent with Guardiola having been specifically acquired for the same purpose.


Julian Alvarez and Riyad Mahrez also scored in the match to make see of a wonderful group stage passage in Seville.

INSIDE EXPO EPISODE 17

Thomas Partey is a Ghanaian footballer currently contracted at Arsenal.

 He plays a holding midfield role often times lying deep within  Arsenal's middle. In the forthcoming FIFA World cup, Partey's team has been drawn with Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea.

He seeks to see whether he can transfer his high - riding form to his national side which has been drawn in a very difficult group. The African side will really need inspiration to qualify for the last 32.

Partey has shone for his current club since his acquisition from Spanish giants Atletico Madrid. He is now playing with a much revamped Gunner side with the presence of Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Jesus, Zinchenko amidst others.

 The management has seen the Gunners change playstyle to suit  PL's pressing kind of play, a trick Arteta inherited from his former head coach Pep Salah Guardiola.
Thomas seeks to help Arsenal continue with their impressive start to the season with them currently second though they still play Nottingham Forest this Sunday 30/10/2022.

A win will see Arsenal top the EPL table with 31 points though this task still remain a mountain to climb with Nottingham having beat last campaign's runners up just in the last matchday. 
FPL managers will be hoping Jesus starts and scores to place the Gunners 2 points above Champions Manchester City.

INSIDE EXPO - EPISODE 8

Tyrel Johannes Chicco Malacia; born August 17 1999 is of Dutch nationality. 
He has proven beyond reasonable doubt that he can reach the heights of popular wingbacks  including Kyle walker of Mancity, Kieran Trippier of Newcastle, Ivan perisic of  Tottenham Hotspurs and even  his own Team mate Luke Shaw.

With the derby just around the corner, the fullbacks in both Manchester teams could steal the day.

 Another area manifesting as vital in the almost underway  and biggest; most anticipated derby the world over is the quality of players signed in the just concluded summer transfer.
In my own entitled opinion, Manchester United have nothing to fear and I see them going all out for a win albeit them not having a plausible start to the EPL campaign which is hectic due to climate change, global warming. 
But then, I'm convinced both clubs will be cautious not to concede an early goal, and this might just be the magic bullet.

Tyrel Malacia was signed in the summer transfer window together with Anthony. 
Marcus Rashford is also a good striker, and I envisage an extremely difficult neck to neck battle between the Noisy Neighbours and the Red Devils.
Who shall steal the day? Shall Manchester be painted blue or red?

For FPL managers, I think this shall be a dilemma. But those who shall carefully pick their squads and the armband could have it all or nothing at all.
Tyrel has previously played for Feyenoord and was born in Rotterdam, Nerthelands.

INSIDE EXPO EPISODE 7

Josep Pep Guardiola Sala is a Spanish professional manager well renowned for his 'winning freak' mentality. 

The former defensive midfielder, a Catalan; was born on January  18 1971.

Currently, the Spanish is breaking myths and barriers as the head coach at Manchester City.

His style of play is open as most of EPL football fanatics know and without doubt, he is considered the greatest manager of all time.

He holds the record for most consecutive league wins not only at Manchester City but also in the La Liga Santander and German Bundesliga.

He always likes his midfield stable since he played a defensive midfield role in his spell at Barcelona. He also likes having a lot of attacking - minded players; the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, Kalvin Phillips, Rodri, mentioning but just a few.

Without doubt he  has shaped Rodri to becoming the most stable holding midfielder in Manchester City who of course got tutelage from his departed predecessor Fernandinho. 

We are yet to see wether the Catalan will break another barrier
this season after Manchester City produced the film dubbed Together Champions again.
