BARCELONA: Luis Enrique Set To Convert Pedro To Right Back

Pedro is unhappy with his lack of first-team football. Luis Enrique is considering 're-inventing' him, and in doing so, filling the gap soon to be left vacant by Dani Alves.

The Barça boss and his backroom staff are considering playing Pedro at right-back. His physique, his attacking prowess and his speed are perfectly suited to the club's playing style, which demands much more than just defending from its full-backs.

In that sense, the Spaniard brings an interesting combination of hard work, experience and attacking skill which make him a decent option to take over from Alves, given that the club will not be able to sign anyone to replace him until January 2016.

NIGERIA: Buhari Wins EL Classico As Jonathan Gets Fair Play Award

The presidential contest recently won in Nigeria by the APC can be compared to El Classico, not the recent ones but the very hot, high tempered El Classico math which drove the rivalry of Barcelona and Real Madrid to the highest in the days of Mourinho vs Guardiola. The coming of Mourinho to Spain changed everything, added fire and brimestone to the rivalry and he eventually ensured that he broke the dominance of the Pep Guardiola lead Barcelona.

The same thing can be said of the PDP which has lead the Federal Government of Nigeria in four dispensations. The choosing and fielding of a captain that had failed three times (Buhari), the change of coach to a known dodged fighter and winner (Tinubu) and the fresh move to a new club (APC) finally delivered the winning ticket. The acceptance of defeat by Goodluck Jonathan says much about fair play..
