Gerrard said: “Winning the final against Sevilla will mean a European trophy, a place in history for all those players and the sense they are at the beginning of a new era under one of the greatest coaches of his generation.

He continued: “Then there is the darker road, the one none of us who love Liverpool want to contemplate. It’s the second final defeat in a matter of months, disrupting the feel-good-factor achieved in securing that flight to Switzerland, undermining the meaning of those notable wins over Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund and Villarreal.”
The legendary captain also added: “Not just another year without a trophy, but no European competitions at all next season. That would have an impact on the quality of players Klopp could attract, the financial rewards for the club and the morale of the squad.”

“There is no frustration. Before a final I think only about a performance. All you can do is win or lose! All the teams I have had in finals performed really well and had close games, so I am not frustrated with my final record. Sure, I could have won more, but that is how it is,” said Klopp.

Now if you live abroad but within a group of Nigerians, this may not be exclusive to you except you practice everything Nigerians do and your cultural heritage has not been adulterated.
Living in Nigeria where you get to see people from different backgrounds would make you understand the things that would be discussed in this piece. There are certain habits and doctrines that are exclusive to Nigerians alone.
This means wherever you meet people who do these things, you can always guess they are Nigerians. Most homes in Nigeria follow this rules and no one is allowed to flout them.
Find some of the rules you are expected to follow in a typical Nigerian setting:
In Nigeria, it is wrong for you to collect an object from an elderly person using your left hand. You may start to wonder why you have two hands if you only have to use the right one always.
Using the left hand means you have no respect and if you are around someone that has authority over you, you could get beaten for it.

Everyone in your street who is older than you has to be addressed as ‘uncle’ or ‘aunty’. It does not matter whether they are related to you or not, you have to add that prefix before calling their first names otherwise, you go hear am.
If you live in a Nigerian home, you would understand that you have to help an elderly person with his load as soon as you sight him from a distance. Of course, this is mainly applicable where the person is a known family member. If you like, go and help a stranger with his load and become a tuber of yam in the process. Na your wahala be dat.
It is very wrong for you to answer your parents this way when they call you. If you do not get severely beaten for answering them like that, then you will be lashed with words. If you live in a Nigerian house, you would have known this rule by now. It should become a part of you so that you do not answer people outside your home that way too.
Growing up in Nigeria is funny I must say; parents expect their wards to face their studies and not get distracted with the idea of dating or hanging out with boys.
If you are caught with a man during this period, you are so dead. If you must have a boyfriend, your meeting point has to be uncompleted buildings and dark corners. You are only at liberty to date when you are getting married.
In Nigeria, anyone who is older than you has to be accorded some respect; so far you were not born on the same day, then he is not your mate. If your immediate sibling is a week older than you, you are expected to add the prefix ‘brother’ or ‘sister’ to his or her name. You will be told this by words or by beating if you fail to do so.

Do not ever think you can sleep and wake up whenever you like on Saturdays; days like that are designated for cleaning the house and washing clothes.
