Barcelona is the place for his kind of rhythm.. � Another group, equally animated, counters that Atletico pay better wages, converting the entire deal to Naira and calculating just how many generators such a contract could buy. As they shout over the hum of the generator at the local bus stop, one thing is clear: the fate of this Portuguese star has become a matter of intense, communal interest in Lagos and beyond. For now, the waiting game continues. The football world, from Manchester to Madrid and all the way to the viewing centres of Abuja, watches with bated breath.
