Butterfly

Have you ever seen the butterfly?
It always wanders in the garden
And the colourful patterns,
Well spread on its wings
Brightly shinning,
With all colours
Like the famous 'kithiki.'
During rainy season.

So humble it is
One and only of its kind.
When it makes a wave,
Am lost in admiration.
I wake up early in the morning
So that,
I can catch up with it
Before it wakes up.
When I spot it,
A smile appears on my lips
And my face brightens up.

Beautiful it is
My heart is satisfied.
Even my friends and other villagers,
Admire this colourful butterfly.
I tried to catch it
Unluckily, it flew away
Displaying its zig zag moves
Swiftly cutting
The thin air.

During night time,
I sneaked back to the garden
With me was a torch
Which I stole from
My father's premises.
I found it gently sleeping
On a leaf nest,
Made of light cotton.
I ought not to touch it
Or awaken it from its slumber.
I returned back home
Happy and relaxed.

My butterfly
Is the most beautiful in the garden.
Not only brightly coloured
But also warm, jovial, friendly
And all the sweet words you can remember.
It is a darling to me
As it soothes away boredom.
Even if I quarrel with my dad,
I find peace spending my time
In the garden
With my beloved butterfly.

*Kithiki - Rainbow in Kamba language.

THE RISE OF CATENACCIO 'PARK THE BUS TACTIC' IN FOOTBALL.

Image
Catenaccio involves a defensive play, tight marking of opponents and aggressive fouling. Mostly, this tactic was used to defend goal margins. It is an Italian word meaning 'a door bolt ' or Lock down . The Catenaccio tactic was first invented in the 1930s-40s by an Austrian coach, Karl Rappan who was managing the Swiss side-Servette. Rappan used a defensive sweeper known as  Verroulieur  positioned just in front of the goalkeeper. The aim of this tactic was to have the numbers advantage during the defensive phase.  Catenaccio had 5 components and these are:   1. Libero/sweeper or Verroulieur. As I told you from the beginning, this is a defender who is positioned just in front of the goalkeeper. His main role is to win the loose balls and double-mark the opposition striker where possible. 2. Strict Marking of the opposition players. Being a defensive approach, strict man-marking was induced to the opposition from the midfielders to the st...
