“How Did It Go From 1-1 to 4-1? I Don’t Know” – Mourinho Shocked After Dortmund’s Victory


                         
Jose Mourinho was at a loss to explain his side’s 4-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund, in the first leg of their semi-final match in the Champions League.
Robert Lewandoski scored all four goals for the home side, while Cristiano Ronaldo got the only goal for the Spanish giants.
Mourinho, who is chasing his third Champions League title and the La Decima for Madrid, however admitted that Jurgen Klopp’s men were the better side.
“I think Dortmund were the best team by far, they won every individual battle on the pitch, they were stronger physically and mentally so I think they deserve it. How did it go from 1-1 to 4-1? I don’t know. 
“Everything happened in a short space of time. We lost easy possession and we couldn’t cope with their counter attack and their transition.”
Speaking on the Polish striker, who troubled his side time and again, the former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss said: “We know everything about Robert Lewandowski, every detail possible and we lost him in three goals. It’s very disappointing.
“When we lose and we don’t deserve to lose, with me, it’s a drama, when I do deserve to lose I accept it. Of course the boy deserves credit for what he did but we gave him every support for man of the match.”

   A GREAT-GRANNY plans to wed her 29-year-old toyboy to fulfill her husband’s dying wish. Joan Lloyd , 67, promised terminally ill hubby David in 2010 she would get a F-cup boob job and  find love again  with a younger man.   Fiancé Phil Absolom popped the question during a  romantic holiday  to the  Canary Islands  after meeting the great-granny over the internet.   She said : From the first moment I met Phil I felt butterflies and we just clicked. We are so much in love and our sex life is great — I’m certainly not too old for that. Like with David, I knew straight away that Phil was someone I could spend my life with.

So here it is; a list of some of the most dangerous Nigerian men.  Dangerous because their actions either changed the state of the nation to a large extent, Or their actions led to a multiplier effect; that is, set the pace for other actions to take place, Or they were not what a large percentage of the population thought them to be.
