One thing I learnt is that Arsenal do well under pressure. Maybe if Arsene Wenger is pressurised more by the Arsenal Board, he just might win the league.
Hahahahahaha...nice one..... make that WEnger catch you first....

Sports / 6 + 1 Things We Learnt From Yesterday's Ucl Games by 080football(m): 8:58am On Oct 21, 2015
1.ARSENAL DID IT THE CHELSEA WAY AND EVEN BETTER
This match looked like Barcelona vs Chelsea in 2012 when Chelsea won Barcelona by parking the bus. Arsenal just showed they can win by playing a compact defense thereby shutting down lewandowski, Muller and the gang. Cech was simply fantastic and Giroud- a savior once again.The best team is a team that can win in somany ways. TAKE A BOW WENGER!! 2-0 NO BE BEANS!!! ABI NA LIE?

2. BAYERN LOST BUT MANUEL NUER ISN'T THAT HUMAN!
We all thought it was a goal. Walcott couldn't believe it! It looked goal bound until it caught up with Nuer's hand. Arsenal will count themselves unlucky not to have scored in the opening 45 minutes. But we will go on to remember the next 45 mins for a long time.

3.TAKE A BOW LACAZZETTE!
He showed he still got it with that highlight-flick to equalise for Lyon. Respect!

4. ROMA CAN EAT THEIR CAKE AND HAVE IT...AND EAT IT AGAIN!!
They started eating their cake by conceding a goal via penalty. They ate it further by conceding another goal by the same Chicharito. Then they decided to get all their cakes back by scoring 4 goals...and conceding 2 more. Football is crazy!

5.BARCELONA ARE BEGINNING TO GET THEIR GROOVE ON
They followed their weekend win with another clean win against Bate. They may not have scored the 7 they scored the last time they met. But they did not concede. Thanks to a good defensive work.

6.CHELSEA NEEDS A MIRACLE..FAST!
They are currently 3rd on the table with Porto topping it. They need to win their remaining games fast. And maybe pray more. They had chances to win this game. But were a bit unlucky. But we expected them to create their luck. Just like Arsenal did today. (0-0)

7. NIGERIA'S IDEYE BROWN DAZZLES IN OLYMPIAKOS TO GIVE THEM THE WINNER
Our very own Niaja buy who has not had it funny in the past season and now was able to push that aside yesterday to lift his side, Olympiakos, to that level they really needed to be in. He netted the only goal in the match that gave them the victory over Dinamo Zagreb even away from home. They now have 6 points, the same with Bayern and Arsenal has 3 points to be 3rd placed in the Group standings after 3 games so far.
Sports / Van Gaal Notes About Away Man.united & Southampton (2-3) And Other Stories by 080football(m): 5:45pm On Sep 21, 2015
1 MARTIAL IS TOO CHEAP

It took Martial 80 minutes to score his first 3 goals for United. He is telling everyone to shut up! Please who saw how Martial controlled the ball in United’s defence? Martial is calm, he is composed and he is class.

http://www.080football.com/welcome-to-our-do-you-know-segment-featuring-the-weekend-games-4/

2 SOMETHING NEW IS HAPPENING AT UNITED

Manchester United have now scored 5 goals in their last 5 shots on target. This is efficiency. Other clubs need a lot more to score. Chelsea needed some red cards and Costa war chest to nick 2 yesterday.

3 UNITED DEFENCE IS THEIR ONLY WEAKNESS

United looked bad on paper when they sold Van Persie and Di Maria. But Martial and a change in style is making them look extra ordinary. United (PROBABLY) need one or two central defenders in January to make them the 'favourite' to win the EPL this season. They made a total of 45 passes before Mata's goal. This is how good they are.

http://www.080football.com/wenger-speaks-about-chelsea-diego-costa-and-arsenal-next-game-against-tottenham/

4 DI GEA IS DONE WITH REAL MADRID SAGA!

He kept United in the game before super Martial and Mata came with the goods. The first goal he conceded was a rebound due to the poor nature of the defenders in front of him. The second goal is a header that can beat any goalkeeper with terrible defenders in front of him. Let's face it, he is back just like the David De Gea of last season.

5 CHELSEA, CITY AND ARSENAL SHOULD BE AFRAID OF UNITED.

They may snatch the EPL from the grip of City and other clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal. This United team is gelling and looking good at the moment. Pele and Southampton did their best to score 2 goals. But United were too good not to get all 3 points today.

Who is afraid of United?

Sports / Re: Oliseh Replaces Enyeama With Femi Thomas by 080football(m): 4:12pm On Sep 03, 2015
WHY THE NFF, OLISEH AND NIGERIANS NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO ENYEAMA.

reaction from everyone when Enyeama pulled out from the AFCON qualifier against Tanzania in the Dar es Salaam Stadium was very terrible because they didn’t find out what happened. A visibly angry Oliseh said

OLISEH: don’t know why he pulled out but what I can confirm to you is that I have been boxed into a corner with his withdrawal.

But we want to forge ahead,” he said, asking: “What happens if our best player falls sick? Ahmed Musa of CSKA will temporarily stand in as the team captain for the encounter against the Taifa Stars,” he revealed.

ALSO READ: SUNDAY OLISEH RELEASES THE LIST OF PLAYERS TO PLAY TANZANIA
http://www.080football.com/sunday-oliseh-releases-the-list-of-players-to-play-tanzania/

The truth is, Oliseh and the NFF never called Enyeama or even his family to know why he pulled out. They and all Nigerians concluded that he did that because of the Kaduna episode.

If they had called, they would have found out that he lost his mom and he didn’t know because the family kept it a secrete from him until he played his weekend game with Lille.

This is why it doesn’t pay to conclude before getting your facts. And better to give someone the benefit of being right before assuming they are wrong.

It’s not too late for Sunday Oliseh to swallow a little pride and call Enyeama to say I AM SORRY FOR WHAT I SAID ABOUT YOUR MOM. And it’s also not late for the NFF to do the same.

080football prays Enyeama has the strength to bear the loss.

Sports / Winners And Loosers Of The Transfer Market And New Signings by 080football(m): 1:50pm On Sep 02, 2015
WINNERS AND LOOSERS OF THE TRANSFER MARKET AND NEW SIGNINGS

1 MANCHESTER CITY

City needed to strengthen 3 things in their squad: Pace, Fatigue and defense. This is exactly what they did. Sterling adds pace and direction, De Bryune help with Silva and Toure’s fatigue and Otamendi helps with the defense.

AWONIYI SPEAKS AFTER SIGNING FOR LIVERPOOL
http://www.080football.com/awoniyi-speaks-after-signing-for-liverpool/

2 BAYERN MUNICH

They did well to replace Schweinsteiger with a better Vidal and an injury prone Ribery with Doglas Costa. Wolfsburg are also winners because they sold De Bruyne for £52m replacing him with a Arsenal target; Draxlar who cost less than half that amount.

THE AVERAGE CLUBS

1 CHELSEA

They needed a right winger because Willian didn’t good end products to his games. They also needed a defensive midfielder to help Matic when he is tired/injured. And they need a left full back to replace Azplicueta and then restore Azplicueta to his best position which is the right full back. But Chelsea only got Pedro. Baba rahman is not top class and they didn’t get someone to help Matic. Plus, they sold Cech to a rival. That’s terrible.

2 BARCELONA AND REAL MADRID

These 2 clubs are classified as average because they don’t have a serious position of need though we expected Barcelona to get Pogba and Real Madrid to get Aguero. But they chose not to go for these players

REAL MADRID RELEASES OFFICIAL STATEMENT ABOUT DAVID DE GEA ABORTED MOVE
http://www.080football.com/real-madrid-releases-official-statement-about-david-de-gea-aborted-move/

THE LOOSERS

1 MANCHESTER UNITED

United needed to get a central defender, a winger, and a defensive midfielder. They didn’t need a striker because Van Persie is still very good. But they bought Schweinsteiger and maybe a Martial they don’t need and then fail to buy a central defender after chasing Ramos. Memphis, Schneiderlin and Damian are da bomb. But United’s transfer window is still terrible

DI MARIA REVEALS WHY HE LEFT UNITED
http://www.080football.com/di-maria-reveals-why-he-left-united-guess-what-its-because-of-van-gaal/

2 JUVENTUS

They let Vidal, Tevez and Pirlo go without getting a worthy replacement. That’s bad

3 ARSENAL

Arsenal needed a goalkeeper, an elite striker, a central defender and a defensive midfielder to probably win the league. But they ended up getting only Cech. That is a big NO NO and lack of ambition to us.

What do you think?

Do you know that Activities are not accomplishments? Being busy is not directly being productive. Movement is not necessarily progress?

Do you know that Chelsea and United were both busy. Busier than Crystal Palace and Swansea?

080football says We must make the days count instead of counting the days. In addition to that It is not the number of hours you put in a thing that makes it a thing of quality. It is the work and the thought that goes into those hours.

Remember that most people expected Crystal Palace and Swansea to loose to Chelsea and United. But at the end, they won. Not because they created the best or the highest number of chances, but because they made their chances count by taking them.

Let’s take a moment to think and stop every form of idleness then take every shot at life…we will sure make every chance count.

A Good monday morning to you all.

Chelsea are masters of the dark art with Abramovic business tentacles spread across the length of Europe They have gotten players right under the noses of rival clubs. Here are a list of players and how they signed them from the noses of rival clubs

MIKEL TO MANCHESTER UNITED
Manchester United made an official announcement on the signing of Mikel after he passed a medical. Mikel even attended a press conference where he was unveiled to fans in United colors. But when it was time for Mikel to resume. he didn’t turn up. Saying he signed under pressure in the absence of his agent. But Chelsea pulled all the strings and UEFA listened and asked Chelsea to compensate United and Lyn Oslow. The rest they say is history.

MATA TO ARSENAL
Valencia rejected an offer of 18 million pounds from Arsenal. But Wenger haggled around that amount until Chelsea came with a bigger 23 million pound offer. Chelsea sold him for 37.5 million pounds to United after Mata won the Champions League and other trophies at Chelsea.

SALAH TO LIVERPOOL
Liverpool hovered around Salah for 2.5 months. But failed to agree a deal with Basle. Chelsea contacted them and in a few hours, the deal was finalized.

ADJEN RUBBEN TO MANCHESTER UNITED
Sir Alex Ferguson made an offer of 5 million pounds and it was immediately turned down by PSV. But Chelsea came up with a 12.1 million and Rubben came, saw and won back-to-back titles with them.

PETR CECH TO ARSENAL
Wenger made an offer to Sparta Prague for Petr Cech in 2002. It was accepted but Cech did not qualify for work permit before he signed for Rennes. In 2004 Wenger tried but Arsenal scout were not impressed by his performance. Wenger listened and killed the interest. But Chelsea were impressed and Mourinho even took a risk to offer Cech the starting bout ahead of a proven goalkeeper, Carlo Cundicini. The rest is history.

Everything was signed and a happy AVB made the announcements after Willian passed his medicals. But Abramovic called his Rusian friend who owns Anzhi and Willian took the next bus to Stamford Bridge. He has a title and a league cup to his name while Spurs have…em em never mind.

HAZARD TO MANCHESTER CITY/MANCHESTER UNITED
Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Manchester City were all in for Hazard. But he said he wanted England move at that stage of his career. Chelsea were not in the fray because they were in 6th position and Hazard made it clear that he wanted a club in the Champions League. Hazard was supposed to make up his mind on Monday morning regarding Manchester United or Manchester City after traveling to the City of Manchester to buy a house. But something happened on Saturday night. Chelsea won the Champions League and qualified for the Champions League next season. Hazard took to twitter to say: “I am signing for the Champions of Europe”

When they asked Ferguson how he managed to get the best out of his players after a terrible start he said “We did not judge each day by the results and points we lost. We judged our performance by the improvement we made. We used the insults and criticisms as a motivation to do better”

That’s life. Its cozy and warm when you succeed and cold when you are not succeeding. But the truth is, nobody sees your hustle. No one knows the effort you put in when no one is watching because they are busy noticing the “happening” people. Continue doing that little thing every day by day. Make your mistakes and learn from them. Then one day, when you start making fewer errors because you have learned from your mistakes, the world will notice you.

Listen my brother and sister, the people that refused to hear you now, will pay to listen to you. Don’t stop. Keep on keeping on!
Sports / Mourinho Speaks After City Humiliation: The Result Is A Fake! by 080football(m): 1:22pm On Aug 17, 2015
Jose Mourinho was not the Special One at the Etihad. Chelsea lost scandalously to City. We all saw Chelsea got pounded from the first second. But Mourinho saw it differently as he brand the result a fake. Hear him

MOURINHO: In the first half the best team was winning, in the second the best team was Chelsea,’ said Mourinho. ‘We didn’t score and if the 1-0 result after the second half was an unfair result in my opinion, imagine 2-0 or 3-0. They were the best team in the first half, they controlled the game and created chances. We were comfortable on the ball but defensively we were quite fragile.

ALSO READ 5 THINGS WE LEARNT FROM MANCHESTER CITY'S TRASHING OF CHELSEA (3-0) YESTERDAY below:
http://www.080football.com/5-things-we-learned-from-manchester-city-3-0-chelsea/

‘I’m the first one to be disappointed when all week you are speaking about movements, directions of the game, mechanisms, Aguero’s runs and positions, wingers coming from the outside to the inside, and then after 10 seconds he [Aguero] is in the face of Begovic. We were defensively poor in the first half.

‘In the second half everything changed. We brought our defensive line to the midfield line, we pressed them and had control of the game. We created chances and had space in midfield to play. They couldn’t cope with that. I’m nobody to analyse the opposing manager’s work but I don’t think anybody will misunderstand if I say we did very well.

‘They felt the result was in danger; their first change was a control change, Navas for Nasri, the second was defensive, Sterling for Demichelis. At that moment they wanted to keep the 1-0 and they were having trouble keeping it. We were punished by our mistakes for the second and third goals and we couldn’t capitalise on the good second half we had.’

My feeling? (It should have been a) red card. Yaya Toure should also have had a second yellow card, but the score was 3-0 so it had no relation to the result, but it had a relation to the rules.’

He explained why John Terry was replaced by Kurt Zouma at half-time

‘I had to decide on John or Cahill because Zouma is the fastest player we have in our defensive line. When you are going to play with a high block and you are asking your players to do that, the fastest player has to be on the pitch.

‘The point was not to bring John out but to bring Zouma in. I wanted to have my fastest player on the pitch and not on the bench because I knew they would play counter attack and long balls into Aguero. I knew I wanted my team to be dominant and to play in the opposition half.

5 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM CRYSTAL PALACE 1-2 ARSENAL
http://www.080football.com/5-things-we-learned-from-crystal-palace-1-2-arsenal/

‘I’m the one that plays John every game, made him captain, brought him back from a difficult situation with other managers. I’m the one who has the right to look at the game and say I want Zouma on the pitch. I was losing 1-0, in minute 35 I was trying to anticipate what I was going to say to the players, and ask the players at half-time, and immediately I had Zouma warming up because it was clear to me he had to play.’

It’s important because he’s a left-back and he can compete with Azpilicueta. At the same time, Azpi can also compete with Ivanovic for the right-back position. This player replaces Filipe Luis in terms of the balance of the squad. Hopefully next week he will be ready.’

Sports / De Gea, Real Madrid And Man United.. Who Is At Fault? by 080football(m): 11:18am On Aug 14, 2015
VAN GAAL SAID YESTERDAY: “Frans Hoek [United’s goalkeeper coach] has a meeting with David de Gea and he asks him, ‘Do you want to play?’  But the goalkeeper said “no”. Then I have to take the decision. It is a process. We had been observing him in preparation. He was not so good, he was not the same David de Gea as before. He was my best player last season. According to the fans, he was the best of the last two years.

He fully agreed with our decision. I have one assistant coach and another assistant coach so we speak about that kind of thing. We have a goalkeeping coach. I’m not doing everything alone.”

NOW LET’S TAKE IT FROM THE BEGINNING

Real Madrid wanted De Gea as Casilas' replacement even during Ancelotti. United wants to sell De Gea but after the last EPL campaign, and they (United) wanted Ramos but not as part of De Gea’s deal. But Ramos doesn't want to go to United but asked his dad and mom to play good cop(Ramos wants to stay at Madrid) and bad cop (Ramos wants to go to United). De Gea wanted the Real Madrid move under the condition that Casilas had to leave. Real Madrid shipped Casilas to Porto and offered Ramos an improved contract which Ramos is closed to agreeing. United seeing that they have lost out on Ramos decided to slam a 35 million pounds on De Gea.

Madrid refused to pay. United got angry and kept De Gea on the bench vs Tottenham. De Gea got angry and refused to play vs Aston Villa.

This is what happened. But who is at fault?

Is it Ramos for using his dad to encourage United and his mom to encourage Real Madrid?

Is it United for slamming a 35 million pounds on De Gea after Ramos loss?

Is it also United for punishing De Gea in the first game vs Tottenham?

Is it De Gea for getting angry and refusing to play the upcoming Villa game?

Is it Real Madrid for wanting De Gea and refusing to sell Ramos?

Who is to be blamed?

Tell us how you feel about this whole unending saga!

Sports / How To Become A Professional Footballer by 080football(m): 5:12pm On Aug 13, 2015
Football means a lot to billions of people around the world especially Nigerians. Check out the world cup figures, weekly epl games, championship games etc. and you will see for your self. It is a form of entertainment and source of motivation to some who love football news and stories and also a form of physical exercise.To many others, it is a career to live for. We are here to tell you how you can be a professional footballer. Are you ready?… And yes, one last word, You can also share the post wherever you have to share it to help your friends who may be interested, you never know who you will bless . Lets go!..

LOOK OUT FOR GOOD ACADEMIES
Do look out for academies if you are below 21 years. We advice you to attend or enroll in academies where you pay to learn more than a thing or two. But there are also free academies if you don’t have the money to pay for tuition. Asl about them in your area, find them, participate with them to learn the technical side of the game. You should watch a lot of training videos. Academies develop you by teaching you football techniques. They also link you to clubs in Nigeria and abroad.

DEVELOP YOURSELF AND LOOK OUT FOR TRIALS AND OPEN CAMPS
Please develop yourself. Learn how to play with both feet. Learn how to read the game and position yourself in football. Stock and bulk up to have enough stamina and body weight (Not fat please). Learn to score free-kicks and penalties even if you are a defender. Learn to have end results no matter how skillful you are. End results are far more important than skills. David Luis did not become the most expensive defender because he is the best defensive defender. He became the most expensive defender because he is a goal scoring defender. That is the difference.

UPLOAD YOUR VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK AND OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM
Document your games. Have a friend or a relative to record your games even if they are amateur games. Learn how to edit your videos and chunk them into smaller videos or get someone’s help if you don’t know how. Post them on your you-tube channel and facebook page. Copy or tag as much agents as possible as you do so. Go to Fifa official website to search for Nigerian agents. Try and contact them. Don’t expect them to find you. Try to find them. You can also find local agents in some local clubs around you in many training sessions or try-outs.

SEND YOUR VIDEOS TO CLUBS AND AGENTS (BOTH LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL)
You can also send your videos to clubs and agents and even club owners. Don’t just play. Hustle. Hustle in the right direction.

BE CLOSE TO THE INDUSTRY AND THE PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY
Don’t be far from the industry. Be as close as possible. Attend live matches and try to get as close to the officials as possible. Volunteer in some footy events and try to get close to players, former internationals, agents, scouts, football journalists even match officials. Be humble when you go close to them because some of them may put a show of ego. Stay humble and respectful but know what you want when or if you are asked.

NOTE: You are needed if you are good enough. These guys knows and recognize a talent or material when they spot one. Move from family and community praises to where you will be criticized to improve. Work hard. Work very hard, pray, read books and learn to speak and address other as politely as you can, dress neatly even when going to play and strategize. You will make it.

Sports / 5 Things Manchester United Needs To Do To Win The Title by 080football(m): 11:24am On Aug 13, 2015
Van Gaal started the season or should we say preseason like a house on fire. But let's face it and say the truth as it is: This current United stars will not win the title unless they do the following

1 KEEP DAVID DE GEA BY ALL MEANS
Van Gaal made a big mistake not going for Petr Cech. But that is history since Cech has since signed for Arsenal and even scored close to 2 goals for them. Thanks to assists from his defenders. Now that Cech is no longer coming to United. They need to keep David De Gea by all means. If they fail to do so? They should leave the title and start talking about the FA Cup, League Cup and the Top4.

2 BUY A CENTRAL DEFENDER OR TWO
Can Jones or Smalling play for Chelsea or even be on their bench? We dont think so! But defenders like Otamendi will probably walk right into Chelsea line up. Benching Gary Cahil in the process. United need to sign such players. If you disagree as a United fan, try this: Imagine Jones and Smalling against Aguerro or Costa. You can now open your eyes.

3 STICK TO A FORMATION THAT WORKS AND PLAY PLAYERS IN THEIR BEST POSITIONS
Van Gaal need to stop changing formations like…well, never mind. Stick to a formation that works. United started their EPL campaign with a 3-5-2 formation. then to a 3-4-3, and then to a 4-3-3. When that formation was producing results, he changed it to a 4-1-4-1. Playing Fellani as his main striker. Common, this is too much for United fans.

We understand why Rooney played in defensive midfield last season. We know it has something to do with Carrick’s injury. But we don’t understand why Fellani played some important matches as United number 9. We expected this over sabiness to be over since they have gone to the market, but Van Gaal shocked the world when Memhis floated around the midfield in United game against Spurs.

4 STOP GOING AFTER THE BALES. THE RAMOS AND THE RONALDOS OF THIS WORLD!

We expected Van Gaal to know that Ramos was using United as a shiny bait to get a better deal from Madrid. He shouldnt have been so interested to the point of loosing interest in players like Otamendi. We can say the same thing about Ronaldo and Bale. Both players aren’t coming. Don’t make your players look like an after thought and not the main deal!

5 STOP DISRESPECTING YOUR PLAYERS
VAN GAAL: “Young and Mata are good players. But they are not Hazard or Neymar”. Van Gaal will not get Hazard to play for United. So whats the point insulting your players and praising him? Even Mourinho worked hard to twist and turn the truth to suggest that Hazard is better than Ronaldo. Someone need to remind him that Hazard was at Chelsea when Chelsea fans and players voted Mata as the Chelsea footballer of the year the season before he left Chelsea for United. Mata is not a bad player.

Do you agree?

1. YAYA TOURE IS THE KING OF AFRICAN FOOTBALL AND ONE OF THE BEST IN THE EPL

Yaya is the boss in his position in the world. Yes! Very few box-to-box midfielders can boast of Toure’s numbers and influence in a football match. Let’s not start with Africa because he is the best player in Africa by a mile.

2. SILVA IS GOLD! HE IS THE BEST NUMBER 10 IN THE EPL

David Silva is the best number 10 in the EPL. Look at the way passes flows through him. Yaya Toure, Silva and Aguero could most likely determine where the title will go this season

3. MANCHESTER CITY WILL WIN THE TITLE IF…

They will win the title if they don’t become tired. We say this because they have a tendency to get tired after 20 games or around there in a season. Pelligrini will need a lot of ... Read the Complete post at http://www.080football.com/5-things-we-learned-from-westbrom-0-3-manchester-city/
