Zinedine Zidane has brushed off suggestions Real Madrid could be distracted by the upcoming Clasico when they play in-form Valencia in La Liga on Sunday.<br>
<br>
Madrid face a difficult game at Mestalla, just three days before taking on Barcelona at Camp Nou in a match that could decide who goes top of the table.<br>
<br>
But Zidane’s team cannot afford to underestimate Valencia, who have registered three consecutive victories, including one away at Ajax on Tuesday that secured qualification for the Champions League last 16 as group winners.<br>
<br>
Valencia sit eighth, while Barcelona and Madrid are level on points in first and second respectively.<br>

<br>
Former artiste manager and ex-wife of singer, 9ice, Toni Payne, recently took a stroll down memory lane as she recalled her experience when her marriage broke up a decade ago. She wrote on Twitter, “10 years ago, I was put out on the streets, living in a friend’s hotel with a one-year-old child not knowing what next. 10 years later, we are both doing great, my business is thriving and life is peachy. What doesn’t kill you truly makes you stronger. I’m always grateful. #myDecade”.<br>
<br>
Refusing to describe how she felt during that period, Payne said, “That’s all in the past. The most important thing is that I’m doing great.<br>
<br>
“I’m not really open to discussing the topic because it is in the past. I have a ‘daily quotes’ page and I have written books on the issue for anyone going through anything that needs a bit of motivation or inspiration to get through.”<br>
<br>
The proud mother who is fond of uploading pictures of her son, Zion, on social media, described motherhood as a blessing. She added, “Motherhood, as I know it, comes with a natural instinct to care for and make sure one’s offspring is doing great. That has been my experience. Being a mother is amazing. I have a super smart, lovable and funny son. There are no dull moments.”<br>

<br>
Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, is unhappy at the move of the Nigerian Football Federation President, Amaju Pinnick, for Cyriel Dessers to pledge his allegiance to Nigeria.<br>
<br>
Dessers switched allegiance to Nigeria to play for the Eagles at senior level despite been eligible to play for Belgium last month.<br>
<br>
According to ESPN, a close source cited the case of Queens Park Rangers’ Eberechi Eze, who was approached by Pinnick and was well publicised in the media but the player refused to commit his future immediately to the Eagles.<br>
<br>
“There are very influential people who do not want him to switch allegiance. That is why it is important to handle these discussions discretely. (Eze) has a Premier League team looking at him, and a Championship team with promotion prospects also in the picture.<br>
