Bundesliga: Tella scoops Bayer Leverkusen’s Goal of the Month
Nathan Tella has claimed Bayer Leverkusen’s Goal of the Month for January, We reports.
It’s the first time the Nigeria international will be winning the award since his arrival at Bayer Leverkusen.
The winger beat Alejandro Grimaldo, Florian Writz and Patrick Schick to the award.
Tella won the award for his blistering strike in Die Werkself’s 3-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund.
The 25-year-old unleashed a powerful shot from the edge of the box after he was set up by Robert Andrich.
The goal was his first in the Bundesliga this season.
He has made 17 league appearances for Xabi Alonso’s side.
Former Real Madrid star Marcelo, has opened up about how former Los Blancos boss, Jose Mourinho helped him become a better player.
According the Brazilian, the Portuguese tactician taught him how to be more aggressive on the field of play.
We reported that the former Real Madrid left-back announced his retirement from football on Thursday, February 6.
He played 16 seasons at Real Madrid, establishing himself as one of the best left-backs football has seen.
Mourinho was Real Madrid boss between 2010 to 2013, and Marcelo was one of the integral players of the Portuguese setup.
Mourinho guided Real Madrid to the 2011 Copa del Rey and 2012 La Liga triumphs.
In an interview with El Homiguero, Marcelo, who played alongside some of Real Madrid’s greatest players, spoke about Mourinho and the influence he had on his career.
“Mourinho taught me to be more aggressive. I always wanted to have the ball, but he taught me that I had to steal the ball first. He helped me a lot,” he said.
“He told me: ‘You don’t know how to defend. I’m going to teach you, and I’m going to make you the best.’ It’s nice.”
Marcelo played 113 games for Real Madrid under Mourinho, scoring 9 goals and contributing 21 assists.
Overall, the legendary Brazilian made 546 appearances for the club, registering 38 goals and 108 assists.

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson has named the only club in the world Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak can join in the summer.
Isak has long been linked with a move away from Newcastle United.
The Sweden international has been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United.
Isak has been impressive so far this season for Eddie Howe’s side as he helped the to reach the Carabao Cup final on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old striker scored a goal in Newcastle’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg 2-0 win over Arsenal.
Isak has been linked with a move away from Newcastle in the summer after reaming at St. James’ Park following the conclusion of the January transfer window.
However, Merson believs Isak can only join the Gunners in the summer.
“He’s not going to Man City, he’s not going to Man Utd, I don’t know if they’ve got any money to buy anybody anyway,” Merson told Sky Sports.
“You’re not going to Tottenham or Villa. He can only go to Arsenal really unless it’s Real Madrid and they’ve got Mbappe anyway.
“For me it’s only Arsenal where he can go and then it’s up to him. Does he want to go to Arsenal where I might win something or stay at Newcastle and might win something. It will be an interesting one but it depends on the fair play rules.”
