Icon4s: I doubt the growth of our young talents overseas spells doom for our local league but the opposite. What we need is for our Coaches to continue holding large camps and making these players work together in training before selecting their final list. That was a mistake Coach Siasia made and I think it will not repeat itself again. (Sending the home based lads away early) If these players work together in training, they learn from each other and improve themselves. This in turn make the local base players better and make those who are as good and even better than the foreign pros, compete and gain their places in the Super Eagles team. |

[b][size=14pt] Siasia adds Nyokobing’s Olajide to Nigeria U23 Olympics squad [/size]  The Dream Team VI boss has added the Denmark based forward to his provisional squad for Rio 2016 as he hopes to have a solid squad Nigeria U23 boss Samson Siasia has added Nyokobing forward Olajide Owolabi to his provisional squad for the 2016 Olympics football event. The 21-year-old was part of the Dream Team VI’s squad for the All African Games and the Afcon U23 championship but his team failed to release him. Before that, injury ruled him out of Manu Garba’s squad to the 2015 Fifa U20 World Cup in New Zealand. Coach Siasia had earlier submitted a provisional list of 60 players to the Nigeria Football Federation, but he is still adding new discoveries to the list, as he aims to find the solid squad to the games. m.goal.com/x/en-ng/news/11252/nigeria-u23/2016/05/01/23000932/siasia-adds-nyokobings-olajide-to-nigeria-u23-olympics-squad [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Kelechi Iheanacho Scores Against Eighth Team In England As Man City Are Beaten By Southampton [/size]  Kelechi Iheanacho bagged a brace for the second consecutive game in the English Premier League as Manchester City suffered a 4-2 loss to Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium on Sunday evening. The Citizens were trailing 2-0 but got on the scoreboard in the 44th minute through the Nigeria international who headed home from close range following a cross by Nasri to take his tally to 12 goals in all competitions. Disaster struck for Man City in the second half as The Saints went three goals up, with Sadio Mane completing his hat-trick in the 68th minute, before Iheanacho brought more respectability to the scoreline when he scored 12 minutes from time. The 19-year-old curled a brilliant effort into the top corner for his second of the game. In all competitions, the Super Eagles young star has scored against eight teams in his debut season in England and they include Crystal Palace, Swansea City, Spurs, Stoke City, Southampton, Norwich City, Aston Villa and Hull City.

Success deserves every bit of that award. Was happy he was picked as winner by the Granada fans over Youssef El-Arabi (who has been on fire too like Success). The world is talking about ISIS when we have a potential football ISIS combo rising. I- Iheanacho S- Success I- Iwobi S- Simon Moses  Really Sir, like you've pointed out we need to have these lads playing together for cohesive purposes. Something of a connection so dynamic can result like the MSN, or BBC or even the Pele-Garrincha-Jairzinho combo. #smiles Exciting times up ahead especially as the likes of Sadiq Umar, Taiwo Awoniyi and Victor Osimhen plus a couple of others are coming through strongly or gradually. Hopefully we get to see Iwobi, Success and Iheanacho forge a super connection at Rio. I hope Siasia finds a way to play these 3 together especially. I have my formation options but firstly, I hope to see them all at Rio. tbaba1234: 2 Likes |

[b][size=14pt] Wenger explains why he hauled off Iwobi [/size]  Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has offered an insight to why he replaced Nigeria youngster Alex Iwobi just over 10 minutes into the second half of their narrow win over Norwich City. ‘The Gunners’ secured a 1-0 win over ‘The Canaries’ at the Emirates on Saturday in the Premier League with Iwobi making way for match-winner Danny Welbeck and Wenger has offered some insight into what warranted the substitution. “I saw the opportunity there, because Alex Iwobi comes more towards the ball but, with a runner in behind on our left side, there was some room to exploit, and Danny did that very well,” the Frenchman told the club’s official website. “On top of that he scored a goal when he came on.” The 19-year-old Iwobi has played 12 Premier League games this season and has two goals and two assists to his credit. http://africanfootball.com/news/626916/Wenger-explains-why-he-hauled-off-Iwobi [/b] |

[b][size=14pt] Iheanacho: Why Manchester City lost [/size]  Manchester City Striker Kelechi Iheanacho Nigeria forward Kelechi Iheanacho has explained why Manchester City fell 4-2 at Southampton. The Citizens were beaten at St. Mary’s by a Sadio Mane-inspired Southampton side and even though the young Nigerian scored a brace, it wasn’t enough to earn them any points, which has now put their top-four place in the balance. “Many things went wrong in our team. We lost so many balls and didn’t defend well,” Iheanacho said in a post-match interview. “We lost and we are not happy.” The 19-year-old also admitted that the loss didn’t offer them enough encouragements going into the Champions League clash with Real Madrid, but said they will put it behind them and come out stronger. “I think we’re going to come stronger in the next game. This game didn’t give us enough encouragement. But we will put it behind us and focus on the Real Madrid game,” he said. City remain fourth in the Premier League table, but are now four points ahead of eternal rivals Manchester United. http://africanfootball.com/news/626919/Iheanacho-Why-Manchester-City-lost [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Nigeria U23s Netminder Emmanuel Daniel Concedes Three Goals As Rangers Lose [/size]  A sparkling first half performance by Rivers United set the tone for a comprehensive 3-1 victory over Enugu Rangers in an exciting Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) game decided at the Yakubu Gowon (former Port Harcourt Liberation) Stadium on Sunday. United were seemingly on the ropes before the contest with no less than five of their first team players unavailable either through suspension or injury. In the absence of trusted personnel which included the club’s top scorer, Chinonso Okonkwo, United produced their best performance of the season as they dispatched the highly-rated Flying Antelopes with a barn-storming display. United showed their intent early on when Chigozie Ihunda was presented with a one-on-one opportunity in the ninth minute following a shocking defensive error by Okey Odita. The right back-turned auxiliary forward however opted to chip the goalkeeper, Emmanuel Daniel rather than go for power and the effort sailed harmlessly wide. The home fans did not have to wait too long for the opening goal though and it arrived in the 17th minute. Ihunda was upended in the box and Bernard Ovoke stepped up to dispatch the spot kick in cold-blooded fashion. Four minutes later, the hosts were two goals to the good and the effort by Christian Weli will be talked about for many days to come. The Rivers United midfielder picked up the ball about 30 yards out on the left and with the unsuspecting Rangers rear guard expecting a slow build up, Weli let fly from the outrageous distance and found the top left hand corner of Emmanuel Daniel’s goal. The home fans went wild as they celebrated the effort which will definitely be in contention for goal-of-the-season. United were flying and added a third goal-yet another out of the top drawer-on the stroke of half time, to virtually end the game as a contest. A flowing team move which involved four United players was finished off, left footed by Ovoke, who fired into the roof of the Rangers net as the shell-shocked visitors struggled to contemplate what had hit them. Rangers were to claim a consolation two minutes after the restart in fortuitous fashion with Olalekan Gabriel inadvertently diverting a cross from the right past Sunday Rotimi and into the United goal. The two sides traded chances afterwards but the hosts always looked the likelier of the two sides to add to their tally. Ofem Inah’s cross, with seven minutes remaining, was met by an Ihunda header which clattered against the post with Daniel beaten. Rangers stay top of the standings with 27 points from 14 matches despite the defeat in Port Harcourt while United moved up to sixth with 22 points from 14 matches.

[b][size=14pt] Rio Olympics Ambition Threatens Musa’s Leicester Link [/size]  By Johnny Edward: Leicester City's interest in CSKA Moscow striker Ahmed Musa may hit the rocks following the player's ambition to feature as one of the overaged players in Nigeria's squad at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games in Brazil, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. The Foxes who are just two wins from lifting the 2015/16 English Premier League title, Completesportsnigeria.com gathered, will revive their interest in the CSKA Moscow striker who has scored 12 goals in 32 games this season. The 23-year-old was a target for Claudio Ranieri in January, but Leicester failed to match CSKA's asking price of £20million for the Nigeria international. "Its a big 'if' on whether he will move in the summer because he has expressed his desire to represent Nigerian at the Olympics which Leicester may not really agree with," a source close to the player told Completesportsnigeria.com. "But once a concrete offer has been tabled, that will be discussed." Leicester had two bids rejected by CSKA Moscow in January, but will hope to strike a compromise at around £18m for Musa in the coming weeks. Musa can also add Champions League experience, something lacking in Ranieri's exciting squad ahead of next season.

[b][size=14pt] Ndidi on Nigeria provisional squad for Rio Olympics [/size]  Wilfred Ndidi Belgium-based defender or defensive midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has been named on a provisional squad for the Rio Olympics by Nigeria, AfricanFootball.com can reveal. The KRC Genk of Belgium ace has already been called up for two Super Eagles friendlies against Mali on May 27 and Luxembourg on June 1 after he made his full international debut against DR Congo last year. The Nigeria U23 coach has submitted a provisional list of players for the Games to the Nigeria Football Federation, and while it is yet to be made public, AfricanFootball.com understands the former Flying Eagles defender is one of those on it. “Wilfred Ndidi is definitely on the list and the coach has been speaking to him and his club,” a source informed. The 19-year-old has been a revelation for the Belgian club since joining them and has appeared 37 times in all competitions with two goals to his name. He was a member of the Nigerian U17 class of 2013, as well as the U20 class of 2013 and 2015 and he is expected to make the final list to the Olympics, especially in the absence of Kenneth Omeruo, who will miss the Games on doctor’s recommendation.

[b][size=14pt] Nigeria Olympic team set for Korea tourney, Siasia won't release call-ups [/size]  Nigerian U23 goalkeeper Emmanuel Daniel Nigeria Olympic team are set to depart the country for an invitational tournament in Seoul, Korea, by May 29 as coach Samson Siasia has decided domestic league players will no longer be released for mid-week games. "From the information at my disposal, we are supposed to be traveling on 29th May, to Seoul,” said Siasia. “It means we have barely two weeks to prepare adequately for that competition that will have in attendance other teams that would be going to the Olympics." The coach has therefore declared that from Monday, May 9, he will no longer release any player from training camp to play for their clubs during Nigeria Professional Football League mid–week matches. Speaking after Tuesday's training at the practice pitch of the National Stadium, Abuja, coach Siasia noted that he barely had enough players in camp to start real preparations for the Olympics, which is barely three months away. "I must confess that it has not been easy for me and my technical crew; a lot of the players we need to work with won’t report to camp as at when due because their club chairmen will always call me to beg that these players stay back to play mid –week games,” he said. “I understand their plight that they need these players to do well in the league, but then we must draw a line between national interest and club interest. “I have always built the foundation of my team on the home-based players, so it is players I have at my disposal who I will work and plan with. "So, I am appealing to all involved to please bear with us, because from next week, I will not release any player for mid –week games. “If the clubs cannot release these players, then I am sorry, no matter how good these players are, they cannot be part of my plans." Siasia further disclosed he will soon release the names of foreign-based professionals expected to be part of the preparation, saying he has delayed announcing their names because he has not been able to get assurances from their clubs on their release for the Games. http://africanfootball.com/news/627084/Nigeria-Olympic-team-set-for-Korea-tourney-Siasia-won-t-release-call-ups [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Nigeria U23 skipper shattered to miss Turkish playoffs [/size]  Azubuike Okechukwu Yeni Malatyaspor midfielder Okechukwu Azubuike has said he is disappointed to have missed out on the chance of winning promotion to the Turkish Super Lig after they drew 3-3 with Karsiyaka in the Turkish PTT 1 Lig, which effectively ended hopes of a place in the play-offs. Malatyaspor needed to win the game to keep their slim chances of playing in the top-flight alive, but failed to do so as they were held at home on Monday night. And speaking to AfricanFootball.com, the Nigeria U23 skipper expressed his disappointment at the development. “I feel disappointed and sad for failing to make the play-offs with my team,” he said. The 19-year-old was on from start to finish in the game, as has been the case since joining from Bayelsa United, but he could not help them get into the play-offs. Meanwhile, Nigeria’s 2013 Africa Cup of Nations hero Sunday Mba was also in action for Malatyaspor and lasted for 68 minutes before being replaced, while Izu Azuka watched the entire proceedings from the bench.
