Alaba might be the first Nigerian to play foi Madrid.

The most successful footballer of Nigerian heritage.

I beg to disagree. On what statistics did you arrive at that?

Zxcvbnm98:

No, that's not what they're saying. Look it up, Alaba wanted to play for Nigeria, and corruption in the NFF was the reason he didn't. Even though he was born in Austria, he could've represented Nigeria if we had a functioning system.

Alaba has come out to debunk the story.

What is the fascination with always trying to put the country down?

His Father Sang Wadada that year.
Only 90's kids know

Alaba doesn't look like his Dad

Ask the mum

KillIgbohoN0W:
His suit is sweet in that 2nd pic.




Meanwhile, I just finished shovelling sand into a barrel in anticipation of Sunday Igboho's arrival by weekend. Checked the ropes too. All are in perfect condition...

why are people always happy when a few freedom fighters have issues...are they signs of a demonic and depressed persons

Wadada, wadada, you sing for everyone. You say why this, why that, you sing for everyone. You banishing your ego(singing rubbish here) for everyone. To all wishes are funnnn! And all my wishes are fun to love (still singing rubbish).

Wow! I never knew that's his father though. Now, I am a fan.

KillIgbohoN0W:


He does.
Difference is in the suffering before the old man escaped Naija.

Aaaiiiii Jesus..... Bros u get mouth sha

Does this even make sense?

If his mom had been someone else then he wouldn't be David Alaba.

From Nigeria, we've had talented footballers become conquerors.

His mom is Filipino and his dad Nigerian, yet they lived in Austria but got into the Bayern team in Germany at 16.

Perhaps it was corruption that made it impossible to stay in Austria.

What he means was that alaba desire to play for nigeria when he was 15 was aborted by the NFF stupid policy of using only indigenous players for the under 17. It was the yemi tella team

beejayodus:
You dey mind that bro? Even our own Almighty Kanu does not have an international trophy.

is 1996 olyympic champion not international trophy ? yeye dey smell

Rickmann:


Arguably, bro..
Mikel obi can best him in that regard..

If I slap you! Mike Obi with how many trophies exactly?

AustineCJ:
safe to say you don’t know anything about football. Ramos is 35 and last season played only 13 matches . In fact he was the main reason Madrid lost the second leg to Chelsea. And you saying getting a player that’s not up to 27years in person of alaba that’s one of Europe’s best defenders to replace him is a bad deal ? Which club do you support please ?

Coupled with the fact that Alaba can play in central defense, left back, and central midfield. Please pay no attention many of these kids and African football experts on Nairaland.

Barcelona2021:

Aside Honours, is there any player of Nigerian root as versatile as him?
dude can play in 4 different positions
Center back
Left back
Left midfield
Defensive midfield

He's in the same class with Paolo Maldini, Roberto Carlos, Marcelo, A Legend, no wonder the best team in the world signed him.

The dude you just replied is a tribalistic bigot butthurt that Alaba is Yoruba. Aside the fact that you've put the know-nothing tribalistic bigot in his place, I'd really not put Alaba in the same class with Maldini and Roberto Carlos. Alaba is a world class player, but please take it easy with the Maldini and Carlos comparison.

Even if it were true, what is wrong with it?

Should we abandon youth football for foreign imports as well?

We claim the youth have no opportunity, then say it is foolish for the youth to be given opportunities locally.

How did you arrive at that conclusion?

My ribs are still aching from laughter.... Naija gat no chill aswearugad

Get the thread for sport and games ---> https://fandom.com.ng/

No delay there

A club I hate has taken a player I love o.
Anyway, best of luck

u dont ssee the mom is from asia?

Cute family

mariobobby:
One of the unknowns about David Alaba ahead of his arrival at Real Madrid concerned which shirt number he would wear, but it was revealed on Wednesday that the Austrian will wear Sergio Ramos' No.4.

It was the surprise of his presentation ceremony, given that former Real Madrid captain Ramos wore the number for the last decade and a half.

Dude is tall like his father

Goldbw122:
Cute black family

Don't mind that guy who delights in the cheating and killing of innocent Nigerians.
Judgement is sure for everyone

DaddyRochie1642:

Come... don't fuel family problem ooo

.

Julianaa:
that's was I said

imagine when messi leaves Barca, two weeks later Barca signs a new no 10

When Ronaldinho left, his shirt was swiftly given to Messi. You are only allowed to use 1-25 for senior players in la Liga and the only way you can retire a number is to register less than the required amount of players. That's why Barca or Real Madrid have not retired any number.

He came to Nigeria to represent us but corrupt Siasia was demanding bribe from his father, even Germany regret losing him to Austria

Rugaria:
Looking Sharp..
