GHANA TAUGHT NIGERIA, ZAMBIA AND MANY OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES HOW TO PLAY FOOTBALL.....SEGUN ODEGBAMI

GHANA TAUGHT NIGERIA, ZAMBIA AND MANY OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES HOW TO PLAY FOOTBALL.....SEGUN ODEGBAMI

And then my alarm bell rings to wake up


The English will say they taught the world how to play football

baby-boy:



And then my alarm bell rings to wake up

Ghanaians that changed the face of Nigerian football
Segun Odegbami

As a result of the harsh economic conditions in Ghana in the late 1960s and early 1970s hundreds of Ghanaian footballers flooded the Nigerian league. The best of them were in every big club in the country from Mighty Jets of Jos, to Stationary Stores of Lagos, to Shooting Stars of Ibadan and even up to Sharks Football Club of Port Harcourt. It was very easy to distinguish them at that time because of the flair and flamboyance they brought to the game.

Most of them were showmen. Unlike the typical Nigerian football player that played only with speed and power, the Ghanaians played the short passing game, with plenty of exhibitionism, and a certain air that verged on ‘arrogance‘. Their influence was greatest in clubs like Stationary Stores and Shooting Stars at the time, both of which had a large number of these Ghanaian players in their squads. Their football became markedly entertaining, stylish and attractive to watch. Within a few years this impacted very much on Nigerian football generally. The mix of the Ghanaian style of football with the indigenous Nigerian style evolved into a new generation of players with power, speed, individual skills and style. That‘s why and how Nigerian football caught up with and even overtook Ghanaian football - as a result of the fusion of these two different football characteristics. Ghana‘s football resembled that of Brazil, whilst Nigerian football was grounded in the typical kick-and-rush style of the English.

Ghanaian players in the Green Eagles
Many Ghanaian players became so integrated into the Nigerian environment that many of them ended up playing for Nigeria without the authorities being able to (or chose to disregard) separate their nationalities. That‘s how Willie Andrews, Yakubu Mambo, Baba Otu Mohammed, Johnny Orlando, Phillip Boamah, Raymond Quakopone, Sani Mohammed, Leotis Boateng, Mohammed Lawal, Adokwa Laryea, and so on came to play in Nigeria and for the national team, the Green Eagles. There were many others in clubs across the length and breadth of Nigeria, playing and raising the standard of the domestic game: Joe Appiah, Edward Ansah, Joseph Carr, Arthur Moses, John Benson, Husseini Alabi (a Nigerian, but born and raised in Ghana), and so on.

Back to Annas Ahmed
Annas Ahmed was one of that army of imports. He came with a flair that was very uncharacteristic of a defender. He played football like one dancing, very elegant and graceful on the ball, and a beauty to watch. He floated his passes with such exquisite delicacy that the ball would ‘hang‘ in the air as if begging for a head to connect. That‘s where some of us, good with our heads, thrived! I scored many a memorable goal with those floating passes, particularly at training sessions.

Annas was one of the two pillars of the Raccah Rovers defence in their most glorious years. The other was Ahmed Abubakar, who has relocated to the US and now lives in New York.

Ghanaians should have done better changing their own football. Mali would not have been a threat to them.

Mali has never been a threat and will never be a threat to the Mighty GHANA. are you a novice in football? go back and study football history. I repeat, Mali is no match. we even beat them 2-0 in Bamako, in front of their homes fans in 2009 when we played them in the 2010 world cup qualifiers. Ghana went to Bamako and spanked the Malians, who were coached by one Stephen[b] big stomach[/b] okechukwu keshit 2-0! Mali wanted badly to go SA2010 to mark their 50th independence, but Ghana, as usual, proved too too strong for them

Mali have long been our wives, just like the supa chinchins

thanks petrodolla for the confirmation

When it gets to a point where a man would have to dig very deep before coming up with a tangible achievement, then you know there is an irredeemable problem.

The last two times I saw Ghana and Mali battle for a Medal, we all know the team that came top. Enough said.

If Ghana isn't a third prize team, then what are they? A fourth prize team? Cos the last I checked, they won back to back indomie in their last two AFCON. Although I give it to them sha, they have been consistent in this regard.
