Beer Parlour Talk
One: Ronaldo is not that good. I can say that because I, myself, am a good player.
Aficionado: Really? Which wing do you play in?
One: Touchline
Aficionado: You mean flank. Okay which of the wide positions, left all or right? Fullbacks? Wide midfield?
One: In fact, I play everywhere. Any leaking wing.
Aficionado: Oh, I see. You are a utility player. So when a wing or a position is not leaking, where are you deployed to? Like, which is your preferred position?
One: I like to play where I can score or defend.
Aficionado: Okay, then Ronaldo is not your problem.
One: What then is?
Aficionado: First discover yourself. Which wing you like, just like that. Discover yourself.
One: But I know myself as a full-time player..
Aficionado: Madam, serve him one bottle. Replace. Bill on me.
One: But you…
Aficionado: [Cuts in] But no buts… May the season afford you opportunity to discover yourself.
Curtain falls!
I’m off to Timbuktu 🚶🐪…
