Nasarawa United management have been warned against sabotaging the efforts of the team.

The state governor, Abdullahi Sule, made the warning during a visit to the players on Tuesday.

There were reports of crowd troubles during Nasarawa United’s clash with Rivers United at the Lafia City Stadium on Monday.

Sule frowned at the report of the incident and vowed to take drastic action against any individual found to be guilty of the action.

“Yesterday, I received an unpleasant news about our top-ranking officials disputing the pages during our game against Rivers United,” Sule was quoted by the club’s media during his visit.

“It’s quite unfortunate, and I won’t tolerate that, whatsoever and whoever is involved, We cannot continue to put in our best as a team and State, and some people, perhaps, because of their selfish and personal interests, will engage in what would make the league body begin to deduct our points or punish our team.

“Let me make it very clear to anyone that cares to read between the lines that the day our darling teams, Nasarawa United or Nasarawa Amazons, are deducted points or punished as a result of some set of people, with vested interests, undermining our progress, that day, I will take a drastic action on whoever it is behind it.”

Burnley defender, Kyle Walker has expressed that it is extremely challenging to defend against Arsenal during corner situations.

He noted that William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães are formidable opponents, emphasising that their corner strategies are unconventional.

In an interview on The Overlap, Walker was asked about the difficulty of defending corners in matches against the Gunners. He promptly described the experience as horrific and unusual, stating that their movements are atypical.

“Horrific. Horrific. It’s strange, but the movement is simply not standard in football. When you are constantly glancing over your shoulder, witnessing Gabriel and Saliba, these towering six-foot-four players charging towards you.”

Reflecting on his experience against Arsenal while playing for Manchester City, Walker recounted how he was easily outmuscled by Gabriel. He mentioned that the Brazilian made a single move within the box during the corner, which was sufficient for him to evade and score.

“I recall getting beaten on a goal at City, where he attempted to make contact with me, and I was pushing him away. Suddenly, with one movement here and another behind, I lost track of him. I lost him. We were employing a zonal marking system at City, and I was assigned to mark Gabriel, thinking, ‘he’s not going to score this one, he’s not going to score this one.’ Goal.”

The Gunners currently lead the league with a total of 19 goals from set-pieces this season in the Premier League.
