Samuel Eto’o has said he is baffled by South Africa’s performance on international platforms including the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The Cameroonian who is a former professional football player who played for top clubs like Barcelona, Inter Milan, and Chelsea, wonders why the South African national team, known as Bafana Bafana, consistently underperforms in the tournament. Eto’o believes that the South African League (PSL) is well-organised and one of the best in Africa, so he doesn’t understand why the national team doesn’t perform better. He told IOL:
<blockquote>
I am baffled as to why Bafana Bafana have constantly underperformed at the Africa Cup of Nations. The South African League (PSL) is well-organised and one of the best in Africa, so I do not understand why the national team is not that good.
</blockquote>
Some people have suggested that the poor performance of Bafana Bafana could be attributed to the management of the football association, which is led by the ANC Mayor, a political party that is considered corrupt and inefficient. Others argue that although the South African League is strong and competes in continental tournaments, it has many foreign players from countries like Zimbabwe, Malawi, Uganda, and even Brazil. When these foreign players return to their home countries, they strengthen their own national teams rather than South Africa’s. Despite this, some believe that the resources and organisation of the league should enable South Africa to have a stronger national squad.
Eto’o is not the only one who questions South Africa’s potential. Julius Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, <a href="https://sportsbrief.com/football/56852-effs-julius-malema-demands-removal-danny-jordaan-accuses-safa-president-disrupting-football/">has demanded the removal of Danny Jordaan</a> as the President of the South African Football Association (SAFA). 
With Bafana Bafana losing their opening AFCON 2-0 to Mali, Jordaan’s leadership has faced further scrutiny. The team will now aim to turn things around in their upcoming matches against Namibia and Tunisia. Criticism has been voiced on social media, with many expressing disappointment with the current state of South African football and calling for leadership changes.

Samuel Eto'o Baffled By South Africa's Performance At AFCON

French midfielder, N’Golo Kante has left Chelsea to join Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ittihad after seven years at Stamford Bridge where  he won numerous trophies, including the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, Europa League, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup He was also part of the French team that won the World Cup in 2018.
Chelsea’s co-sporting directors praised Kante’s impact and influence on the club. Kante’s ball-winning ability was crucial to Chelsea’s unexpected league crown in the 2016/17 season, which earned him multiple Player of the Year awards. In a statement seen by Pindula News, the club said:
<blockquote>
Chelsea today says goodbye to club legend N’Golo Kante, with the midfielder to join Saudi Professional League side Al-Ittihad at the expiration of his contract.
The 32-year-old played a decisive role throughout his seven seasons at Stamford Bridge and lifted the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, Europa League, UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup.
The World Cup was also claimed with France in 2018, but as Kante’s medal collection swelled, he remained understated, humble, and immensely popular with team-mates, coaches and supporters alike. 
N’Golo Kante lauded by his Chelsea team-mates after winning the Premier League title at West Bromwich Albion in 2017 
Co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley said: ‘N’Golo’s impact and influence during his time at Chelsea cannot be overstated. His tireless performances in midfield contributed to several trophy wins and has guaranteed him a place in the club’s history. We wish him well as he embarks on the next chapter in his career.’
Kante arrived at Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2016 having played a key role in Leicester City winning the Premier League title. He instantly settled into the Chelsea midfield and his ball-winning ability was fundamental to Antonio Conte’s team securing an unexpected league crown.
Such was the France international’s influence across the 2016/17 campaign, he was named PFA Player of the Year, the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year and the Premier League Player of the Season.
At the end of the following campaign – which ended with an FA Cup final triumph over Manchester United at Wembley – Kante was named Chelsea Player of the Year by supporters.
Kante’s game evolved during his time at Stamford Bridge and he played in a more advanced midfield role en route to Chelsea winning the 2019 Europa League. The Frenchman, despite nursing an injury, starred in the final in Baku as Arsenal were beaten.
An injury-impacted 2019/20 was overcome the following season, which ended with Chelsea being crowned as European champions for the second time. Kante was extraordinary in the knockout stages, winning player-of-the-match awards in ties against Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and after Manchester City were beaten in the final.
</blockquote>
N’Golo Kante is the latest high-profile footballer to move to Saudi Arabia, following Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. Ruben Neves of Wolves is also expected to join the Saudi Pro League with Al Hilal.

UEFA Champions League Quarter-final, Semi-final Draw Results

Chelsea defender Reece James suffered a knee during the blues’ 2-0 win over Bournemouth on Tuesday.
James was withdrawn in the 53rd minute of his first game since his return from the knee injury that ruled him out of England’s World Cup squad. Chelsea coach Graham Potter said:
<blockquote>
It’s the same area, so we are concerned.
It’s really too soon [to tell]. We’ll have to see over the next 24-48 hours. He felt something there and we will have to find out the extent of it and keep our fingers crossed.
He’s been really disappointed to miss the World Cup, of course. It was a huge blow to him. You could see today his quality and what he brings to the team. He is a world-class player. You see it from the outside but not until you work with him do you see how good he is.
He could play in any team in the world, and any team would miss him. The plan was to play 60 minutes today so now he’s disappointed, of course.
We hope it’s not as bad as it was and he can have a speedy recovery.
</blockquote>
After three defeats in the league prior to the World Cup break, Tuesday’s victory places the Blues eighth in the table at the turn of the year, with 15 games played. 
Meanwhile, Zimbabwean defender,<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Jordan_Zemura"> Jordan Zemura</a> started the match for the losing side.

EPL: James Reece Suffers Knee Injury Again As Chelsea Beat Bournemouth

Ivory Coast and Chelsea football legend Didier Drogba has announced that he looks forward to visiting Zimbabwe.
He made the announcement on social media this Tuesday following his meeting with President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Monday. He posted on Twitter:
<blockquote>
<a class="link-complex" data-user-name="edmnangagwa" href="https://twitter.com/edmnangagwa/" rel="noopener user" target="_blank">@edmnangagwa</a> great to meet Dear Mister Président and looking forward to coming to Zimbabwe <img alt="🇿🇼" class="emoji" decoding="async" draggable="false" src="https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1f1ff-1f1fc.png"/>
<img alt="Image" class="aligncenter" decoding="async" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fb9xVBHWAAAkRkA?format=jpg&amp;name=large"/>
</blockquote>
Both Mnangagwa and Drogba are among high-profile guests invited to attend the Africa Green Revolution Forum 2022, an annual nature-conservative summit, in Kigali.
The summit will name 20 baby gorillas at the 18th edition of Kwita Izina in Musanze.
Mnangagwa had on Monday posted on his social media accounts praising Drogba as a true African hero after their meeting.
Besides football, Drobga is known for his philanthropic work and investing in Africa, particularly his home country of Ivory Coast.
In 2013, it was reported that <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2337620/Didier-Drogba-bought-cent-stake-gold-Ivory-Coast.html">he bought</a><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2337620/Didier-Drogba-bought-cent-stake-gold-Ivory-Coast.html"> a stake in an Ivory Coast gold mine</a>. Ivory Coast’s communications minister Bruno Kone back then said Drogba took a 5 per cent stake in the mine.
He sold the shares in 2019 to Endeavour albeit <a href="https://www.africaintelligence.com/west-africa/2022/03/21/former-chelsea-footballer-didier-drogba-caught-up-by-old-mining-debts,109761823-art">without ever fully paying the first owner</a>, the Ivorian parastatal group Sodemi.
In 2013, The Didier Drogba Foundation he founded <a href="https://www.thehabarinetwork.com/didier-drogba-foundation-to-invest-3-8-million-in-ivory-coast-hospitals">invested US$3.8 million</a> in the building of at least five health centres for women and children in Yamoussoukro, the capital, and the cities of Abidjan, San Pedro, Man and Korhogo in the west African nation.

Didier Drogba Says He Looks "Forward To Coming To Zimbabwe" After Meeting ED

Chelsea Football Club have confirmed the agreement to sell the club to the Todd Boehly/Clearlake Capital consortium.
The English Premier League and the British government gave the green light for the Boehly group on Tuesday to acquire the club from Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich who was sanctioned by the UK over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
In a statement, the club said the sale is expected to be complete in late May subject to all necessary regulatory approvals. Read the statement:
<blockquote>
Chelsea Football Club can confirm that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjoerg Wyss, to acquire the Club.
Of the total investment being made, £2.5bn will be applied to purchase the shares in the Club and such proceeds will be deposited into a frozen UK bank account with the intention to donate 100% to charitable causes as confirmed by Roman Abramovich.
UK Government approval will be required for the proceeds to be transferred from the frozen UK bank account.
In addition, the proposed new owners will commit £1.75bn in further investment for the benefit of the Club. This includes investments in Stamford Bridge, the Academy, the Women’s Team and Kingsmeadow and continued funding for the Chelsea Foundation.
The sale is expected to complete in late May subject to all necessary regulatory approvals. More details will be provided at that time.

Chelsea Reach Agreement To Sell Club To New Owners

Chelsea have requested the Football Association (FA) board to have their FA Cup quarter-final against Middlesbrough on Saturday to be played behind closed doors “for matters of sporting integrity”.
The European champions had asked the UK Government to be allowed their full allocation of 4 500 tickets at the Riverside Stadium, but the request was turned down.
Chelsea were barred from selling tickets to their fans after their owner, Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK Government for alleged links to Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Russian state.
The London club said the ban on ticket sales will lead to financial difficulties and they are upset that the Government have not responded to their pleas.
Chelsea were also exasperated that their plea to give away tickets for the Middlesbrough game for free did not receive a response from the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI). A Chelsea statement said:
<blockquote>
It is with extreme reluctance that we are asking the FA board to direct that the game be played behind closed doors for matters of sporting integrity.
Chelsea FC recognises that such an outcome would have a huge impact on Middlesbrough and its supporters, as well as our own fans who have already bought the limited number of tickets that were sold before the licence was imposed, but we believe this is the fairest way of proceeding in the current circumstances.
We will continue to discuss the issue of ticket sales with OFSI as there are a number of fixtures still to be played this season and we hope to reach a resolution.

Chelsea Call For All Fans To Be Banned From FA Cup Match

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel will fine striker Romelu Lukaku despite accepting his apology for controversial remarks he made in an interview with Sky Italia.
The interview was aired last Thursday but was conducted three weeks previously.
Following the interview, Tuchel dropped the club’s record signing against Liverpool on Sunday and did not face any opposition from the club’s board.
During the interview, Lukaku expressed his unhappiness about life at Stamford Bridge and also omitted Chelsea when mentioning Europe’s major clubs.
He appeared to question Tuchel’s system and expressed a wish to return to Inter Milan one day.
Tuchel has since recalled Lukaku for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Tottenham Hotspur.
The German revealed the former Internazionale forward, who earns about £350 000 a week, would face further punishment. Said Tuchel:
<blockquote>
There will be some disciplinary action and he will accept it. It’s not a small thing, it’s not the biggest thing and it doesn’t make a comeback impossible – absolutely not.
This is what we prove now. But something happened and he will be fined and he needs to accept it.
</blockquote>
Lukaku reaffirmed his commitment to Chelsea in a public apology on the club’s website on Monday night. He said:
<blockquote>
I totally understand. I think I should have been clearer in my message. The interview was about saying goodbye to the Inter fans, it was not about trying to disrespect the fans, the football club, the owner, my teammates and the manager.
They did a lot of effort to bring me back here. I wanted to come back. I was on a mission since I left.
I totally understand the frustrations of the fans. Now it’s on me to show my commitment at 100%. They don’t need to question it.
</blockquote>
The Belgian has scored seven goals in 18 appearances since rejoining Chelsea last summer.

Tuchel Fines Lukaku Despite Striker’s Apology For Controversial Interview

Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has left the hospital with an acute bone nose fracture and a left orbital eye injury following his clash of heads with Chelsea’s Antonio Rudiger in the Champions League final (UCL).
De Bruyne was in tears as he had to be substituted in the 60th minute of the game in Porto. He posted on Twitter:
<blockquote>
_Hi guys just got back from the hospital. My diagnosis is Acute nose bone fracture and left orbital fracture. I feel okay now. Still disappointed about yesterday obviously but we will be back._
</blockquote>
De Bruyne was left with a black eye following the clash of heads and required lengthy treatment on the pitch before he was eventually substituted.
Chelsea won the match 1-0 victory courtesy of Kai Havertz’s goal just before halftime.

UCL Final: De Bruyne Sustains Acute Nose Fracture

Chelsea are facing the prospect of a points deduction after again being charged with failing to control their players towards the end of their 2-1 victory over Leicester at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night.
This is the seventh time in seven years Chelsea have been involved in mass indiscipline of their players.
Leicester have also been charged for their part in the fracas, which saw players and coaching staff clash on the touchline following Ricardo Pereira’s challenge on Ben Chilwell.
Chelsea have a poor record that they were warned in July 2016 that they faced a points deduction after appealing against a £375,000 fine levied against them for their part in a mass bust-up during a game with Tottenham two months earlier.
Since then, they have been charged twice more with failing to control their players but escaped with fines and warnings about their future conduct.
A former FA employee, with knowledge of the disciplinary process, said: “It seems there’s an issue within the club.”
Chelsea and Leicester have until Tuesday to respond to the charge.
Points deduction could have major implications for Chelsea who are heading into the final day of the campaign chasing a top-four spot.
Leicester of course are one of the clubs vying with the Blues for a place in the Champions League next season, while Liverpool sit between both sides in fourth.
A win at Aston Villa will be enough to secure Chelsea’s spot, and boss Thomas Tuchel has faith his players will thrive with everything at stake.
Chelsea will also soon face Manchester City in the Uefa Champions League Final.

Chelsea Face Possible Points Deduction

Harry Kane has once again told his club, Tottenham Hotspur that he wants to leave amid interest from Manchester City, United and Chelsea.
The English international made it clear that he wants to play for major European competitions but that is not possible at Spurs who are set to <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/04/09/champions-leaggue-action-returns-tonight/">miss the Champions League.</a>
Kane has so far scored 22 goals and made 13 assists this season.
He has been on top of the game for many successive seasons now scoring 220 goals in 334 appearances, yet, he has not won any trophy.
Spurs look set to finish the current season at the summit of the table but fell down the log when the dazzling striker sustained an injury that kept him on the sidelines.
Speaking on the development, Sky Sports News reporter Paul Gilmour said:
<blockquote>_It’s been no secret that Harry Kane has wanted to compete for the top honours, both as a team and individually. It’s been a frustrating season for him personally. It hasn’t happened for Spurs with Champions League qualification. It will be a second season that he hasn’t had that._
_He is valued at well over £120m, probably, and the rest, if Spurs and Daniel Levy have anything to say about it because let’s face it, the ball is in their court._</blockquote>
Tottenham had managed to persuade Kane to stay last summer when one English club came in for him expecting things to change under the leadership of Jose Mourinho.
Personally, Harry Kane has had a brilliant season under Mourinho, but as a team, <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/10/05/tottenham-hotspur-in-shock-defeat-by-epl-underdogs/">Tottenham struggled.</a>
Kane signed his current contract with Spurs ahead of the 2018 World Cup. It’s a deal that ties him to the club until 2024.

Kane Tells Spurs He Wants To Leave, Manchester City, United, Chelsea, Express Interest

Chelsea Wednesday beat Real Madrid by two goals to nil at Stamford Bridge to proceed to the final of the Uefa Champions League where they will face Manchester City.
Chelsea won by a 3-1 aggregate after they shared spoils with the Whites in Madrid in the first leg of the semi-finals.
They got Wednesday’s goals from Timo Werner just 28th minutes into the first half and from Mount who squared a Pulisic pass towards stoppage time.
Chelsea were denied a number of chances and could have won by a great margin if they had clinical finishes.
It’s now official, the Uefa Champions League will be between English Premier League rivals Chelsea and Manchester City.
They last met in the FA Cup match won by Chelsea.
Both teams are enjoying some good form at the moment with City poised to win the Premier League – they are one win away while Chelsea have been great since Thomas Tuchel’s arrival.

Chelsea Sink Madrid, Face Manchester City In Champions League Final

Real Madrid defender Marcelo could miss the second leg of their <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/uefa-champions-league-real-madrid-man-city-progress-to-semi-finals/">Champions League semi-final</a> at Chelsea because he has been called up to monitor a polling station during local elections.
The elections for the Madrid assembly take place on Tuesday, 4 May.
Although the game at Stamford Bridge is the following night the Madrid squad will travel on election day and there are complications relating to Covid-19 regulations if Marcelo carries out his polling duties.
Madrid hope to receive permission from local authorities for Marcelo to stand aside.
In the past, Levante goalkeeper Aitor Fernández who had been named on a reserve list to work during the November 2019 general election was excused and allowed to play a La Liga match at Athletic Bilbao.
Athletic’s Inaki Williams was also excused from working at a polling station in 2015 because voting clashed with a match against Levante.
Marcelo obtained Spanish nationality in 2011 and all Spanish nationals on the electoral register are liable to be called up to work at polling stations, for which they are paid €65 (£56), and require mitigating circumstances to be excused.
Marcelo started the 1 all draw first leg against Chelsea in the absence of the injured Ferland Mendy.

Marcelo Called To Monitor Polling Station, Set To Miss Madrid Chelsea Match

Manchester United fans have gathered at the club’s Carrington training ground this morning to protest against the Glazer family who owns the club over the European Super League.
The Americans were architects of the European Super League plans which collapsed after 48 hours this week following a barrage of criticism from supporters, pundits and even the British government.
Photos have this morning emerged on social media of fans protesting at both entrances, inside the training ground and by the first-team pitch, with banners reading ‘Glazers Out’, ‘We decide when you play,’ and ‘51% MUFC’, in reference to the Bundesliga ownership model whereby fans have a majority stake of the club.
<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/04/21/european-super-league-cannot-go-ahead-says-founder-agnelli/">All the six English Premier League clubs</a>, Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham, who had joined the European Super League, have since pulled out following threats of sanctions from the Uefa Champions League.
Later, ESL founder and Juventus chairman, Andrea Agnelli, said that the breakaway league can no longer go ahead after eight clubs withdrew.

<div>
Chelsea Football Club have today parted company with Head Coach Frank Lampard.
</div>
</div>

<div>

<div>
<div>
This has been a very difficult decision, and not one that the owner and the Board have taken lightly.
We are grateful to Frank for what he has achieved in his time as Head Coach of the Club. However, recent results and performances have not met the Club’s expectations, leaving the Club mid-table without any clear path to sustained improvement.
There can never be a good time to part ways with a club legend such as Frank, but after lengthy deliberation and consideration it was decided a change is needed now to give the Club time to improve performances and results this season.
</div>
</div>

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich released a statement and said the decision to part with Lampard who he said he knows personally was difficult but a managerial change was needed.

EPL Giants Chelsea FC Fire Frank Lampard

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes Chelsea are favourites to win the English Premier League title this season due to the “unbelievable” strength of Frank Lampard’s squad.
Chelsea, who are unbeaten in nine Premier League games, spent big on a myriad of talented new recruits in the summer.
The Blues beat Leeds 3-1 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday – no other side has gone longer this campaign without tasting defeat.
While Liverpool were six points clear at the same stage of last season, this term they have had to cope with a condensed fixture list and a barrage of injuries. Said, Klopp:
<blockquote>Chelsea is for me at the moment looking like the favourite with a bigger squad and after a bit of a rusty start are now fully in.
They have unbelievable opportunities to change the team from one game to another.
We watch them but we aren’t chasing them. We play them when we play them. That’s how we saw it last season as well.</blockquote>
Saturday’s win sent Chelsea top of the table, above Liverpool, with Klopp’s side in action against Wolves on Sunday.
