The number of games we must win or the number we can afford to lose is completely unknown to me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: white; caret-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); font-family: Poppins; font-size: 18.4px;&quot;&gt;According to the Italian, &quot;there are plenty of points&quot; because they still have seven games remaining. Before Trevoh Chalobah&#39;s own goal and a penalty kick by Harry Kane gave Bayern the lead, Chelsea had a strong start and had several good opportunities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: white; caret-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); font-family: Poppins; font-size: 18.4px;&quot;&gt;After a swift equaliser from Cole Palmer, the hosts were unable to lose thanks to a second-half goal from Kane. The defeat served as a &quot;reality check&quot; for a youthful Chelsea team who had trouble maintaining their early domination, according to Maresca.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: white; caret-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); font-family: Poppins; font-size: 18.4px;&quot;&gt;As a whole, I was impressed by the performance. In the first ten minutes, we were on top of the game and made chances. &quot;Then we gave up a goal that we can avoid, and things changed slightly,&quot; he said. Not only that, but the Chelsea coach had some strong words for the referee, citing his choice not to send out Jonathan Tah for a foul as an example.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: white; caret-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); font-family: Poppins; font-size: 18.4px;&quot;&gt;When there is no attempt to go for the ball, in my opinion, it is more akin to a red card. The official deemed it insufficiently forceful. &quot;There is absolutely no doubt in my mind,&quot; Maresca stated. Maresca kept his optimism over Chelsea&#39;s advancement in the competition, despite the frustration.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: white; caret-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); font-family: Poppins; font-size: 18.4px;&quot;&gt;You need to play the right manner throughout the whole game, not just a quarter or half, to win this game. &quot;We discovered that,&quot; he chimed in. With seven games remaining, Chelsea can still control their own fate in terms of the Champions League. Moving forward, their focus will be on recovering before their second group match.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.musbizu.com.ng/feeds/2477818774960832256/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.musbizu.com.ng/2025/09/we-still-have-seven-games-i-dont-know.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/2317504897001368663/posts/default/2477818774960832256'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/2317504897001368663/posts/default/2477818774960832256'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.musbizu.com.ng/2025/09/we-still-have-seven-games-i-dont-know.html' title='&quot;We still have seven games.

font-size: 17.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;“I think they thought I was joking. They thought because, I mean, before this happened, we had previously been separated, you know, like twice inside the eight months. How many months again? Nine months. So, I think my parents were shocked when I mentioned it to them. I told my parents, like, you know, at the same time, I told my mom.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1rem; line-height: 1.55; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;border: 0px; font-size: 17.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;“My mom was just speechless. Like, okay. Obviously, no parent wants their child to, you know, go through that. No parent is going to encourage that for a child. But every parent loves a child enough to support. My parents, let me not say everybody. My parents love me enough to support my decision, and they trust me enough to not make wrong decisions on certain things also.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1rem; line-height: 1.55; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;border: 0px; font-size: 17.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;“So, they were obviously shocked. But I think for the most part, it was more like, maybe she doesn’t need space again. She needs a break. And that’s how they took it. And they’re like, okay, if that’s what you need right now, if you need, you know, that’s it. So, my parents are everly supportive. As long as they don’t be clever, they do. They’re always, always supportive. And I really am grateful to God that I had that. Maybe it’s going to be more difficult. But for me, there was no support from my house yet.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.musbizu.com.ng/feeds/118254191284361430/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.musbizu.com.ng/2025/09/my-parents-were-shocked-when-they.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/2317504897001368663/posts/default/118254191284361430'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/2317504897001368663/posts/default/118254191284361430'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.musbizu.com.ng/2025/09/my-parents-were-shocked-when-they.html' title='My Parents Were Shocked When They Learnt Of My Decision To Divorce Israel DMW – Sheila Courage'/><author><name>Musbizu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01121743044414013530</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2317504897001368663.post-3910380990961037038</id><published>2025-09-17T01:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2025-09-17T02:00:10.090-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="METRO"/><title type='text'>People with more money than me fear investing in Nigeria – Aliko Dangote</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;news-package-image&quot;
