“Not all relationship must end in marriage” – Timaya

2

Although he acknowledged having a partner, the musician claimed in an interview on ‘Eve’s Eye’ that he is not married because he is not ready.

Timaya also admitted that he didn’t enjoy being surrounded by so many women and wondered what he would do with all of them as he has little tolerance for drama.

“I’m not married, I have a girlfriend. I’m not that kind of man. What am I doing with plenty women? I’m not a confused men, I can’t bear drama,” he said.

He added, “I’ve dated girls that when they wake up in the morning, they’ll be like, ‘What are we doing?’ And I’m chilled, we’re having fun and the next thing you pop up that question. The last one that asked me that before I started dating my girlfriend…. we’ve been good. She just woke up one morning and asked me, ‘Where are we going to?’ And I just told her, ‘I don’t know. Am I a GPS? I don’t get it.”

He believes women should understand that not all relationships must end in marriage. Additionally, he contended that marriage would become monotonous if it occurred before the guy was ready.

In his words, “They always ask that. But not every relationship has to lead to marriage. I’m not ready. You know, you need to understand. If a man is not ready… sometimes, these women leave what is important to go discuss things that are not important. Marriage is always not the end point. Even if it gets to that point, it becomes boring when you’re not ready.”

Carlo Ancelotti Sends Warning Message to His team ahead of Liverpool Clash

1

The manager of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti has sent a warning to the members of his team ahead of the game against Liverpool.

The Italian was speaking in a post-match interview after the game against Espanyol in a league match on Saturday, March 11th, 2023 at the Santiago Bernabeu. He advised his players not to be overconfident going into the second leg against Liverpool.

The first leg at Anfield last month (February 2023). Early goals from Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah had appeared to put the hosts in control, but Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema both scored a brace and Eder Militao was also on the scoresheet. Real Madrid won the game 5-2.

Ancelotti mentioned last season’s tie against the Blues, when they secured a 3-1 first-leg victory at Stamford Bridge before almost crashing out. Chelsea raced into a stunning three-goal lead in the Spanish capital to put them ahead of the tie, before a Madrid fightback saw them eventually advance after extra-time, the game ended 5-4 in favour of the Galacticos.

We had the experience of last year against Chelsea. We had a three-goal advantage, which is why we are and were favorites, but the other fact is that we have to play another 90 minutes.

Liverpool fans will hope that their team can avenge the defeat of last season’s final by booking a spot in the Quater-finals.
