Brazil and Barcelona legend, Ronaldinho has opened up on his 'sixty long days' as he remains under house arrest in Paraguay for allegedly using a fake passport to enter South American country. The 40-year-old and his brother Roberto were arrested in March after police found passports bearing their names with Paraguayan nationality despite having their Brazilian passports confiscated in 2018. They spent 32 days in prison before they were released from jail in April and then transferred to a luxury hotel where they kept them under house arrest. Ronaldinho, who reportedly paid a £1.3million bond for himself and his brother to be released says he is 'very calm' and is doing 'anything to pass time in the most pleasant way possible'. 
He told Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo: 'It has been sixty long days.' Comparing his house arrest to those who have been isolating in their homes during lockdown because of the coronavirus pandemic, he said: 'People in their homes must imagine what it must be like not being able to do what you are used to. 'I think that is something that will remain with us all forever after living in this complicated experience. 'I hope that soon everything will return to normal and we can return to our homes. Hopefully, everything will be as before.' The Brazilian legend is staying in the four-star Hotel Palmaroga, which is one of a number of hotels owned by Barcelona. Definitely, Barcelona and I are united forever. It will always be my second city,' he added. 'Barcelona always treats me with a lot of love and respect. I thank you with all my heart for the messages and your love. 'It is the most incredible club and the fans live deep in my heart. I thank you with all my heart.'The post 
Angry residents of Yantumaki, Katsina state, on Tuesday staged a protest over the increased spate of killings and kidnapping in the state. The residents set fire on an APC billboard of President Buhari and the state governor Aminu Masari with the inscription ''The faces of fairness and champions of the masses.” 
The angry residents also blocked the Kankara-Kastian road with tyres. Hundreds of motorists had to abandon the route to access Katsina town or Gusau in Zamfara State for safety. The protest comes a day after a health worker, Mansir Yusuf, and his daughter were kidnapped from the community. Last week, the district head of the area, Atiku Maidabino, was killed by unidentified gunmen at his palace. The residents decried the high level of insecurity, saying no day goes by without any reported attack on the community or its neighboring villages. Last week, Governor Masari announced that his government has pulled out of the peace agreement they reached with bandits who have been killing and destroying properties owned by innocent residents of Katsina state. Katsina is President Buhari's home state. The post 
Hoffenheim have sacked head coach Alfred Schreuder with four games left in Bundesliga season The news was announced on Tuesday morning with Schreuder becoming the first manager to be sacked since the Bundesliga's restart last month. "We had different views on important details, so a cooperation beyond the end of the season no longer makes sense," said Hoffenheim chief Alexander Rosen in a statement on the club's website. "I was aware right from the start that the task in Hoffenheim would be a great challenge. The work has filled me with great joy. I thank the club for giving me the opportunity to work in the German Bundesliga," said Alfred Schreuder, who joined Hoffenheim before this season, committing himself to a deal until 2022. "Unfortunately, we were unable to agree on a common path to take TSG into the future. I regret this development. However, it is not unusual to have different opinions in professional life. You have to be honest with each other and draw the appropriate conclusions," he added. With four games left to play this season, Hoffenheim sits seventh in the German league table. The post
