Ugbade: Brazil’s Pride At Stake Vs U-23 Eagles
[/size]

Former Nigeria international Nduka Ugbade has predicted a tough game for the U-23 Eagles against Brazil in Thursday's international friendly game.

Both Nigeria and Brazil will be using the friendly match to prepare for this summer's Olympic Games in Rio.


In a chat with Completesportsnigeria.com, Ugbade however pointed out that what should be imperative for the U-23 Eagles is not the result but what will be learnt in the game.


"It's going to be extremely difficult. It could be described as a noncompetitive match in competition," Ugbade tolf Completesportsnigeria.com. "But it's competitive because it is Brazil and Nigeria. If Nigeria defeat Brazil, there would be a lot of stories to be told but for reasons of honour and dignity, I don't think the Brazilians would want to lose to Nigeria at home.


"We will see a Brazilian side with mental speed, German character, South American ball intelligence. So it is going to be extremely difficult for Nigeria. But you can't rule out the fact that we can get something out of the game, we all remember how we defeate them in 1996.


"In the number of occasions I have faced Brazil, we have managed to control the game but they've managed tactically to win and score a lot of goals against us. Not losing the game is not the most important thing but what we are able to garner from the match."


The last time Nigeria met Brazil at this level was in Atlanta 1996, with Nigeria winning 4-3 in extra-time.

As many as 10 players on the squad have yet to play for the Nigeria at this level.

They include Agboyi Ovboka, Sodiq Popoola, Godswill Ekpolo, Nathan Oduwa and Theophilus Solomon.

Brazil will also host South Africa in another friendly on March 27.

The draw for the Rio Olympics will be staged next month in Brazil.

Brighton & Hove Join Leicester City In Race For Manchester City Young Star Oseni
[/size]

Manchester City defender Nathaniel Oseni is undergoing trials with Brighton & Hove Albion with a view to a transfer in the near future.

The 19-year-old was in action for the Under-21 team of Brighton in their 1-1 draw with Newcastle United in the U21 Premier League Division 2 on Wednesday night and lasted the distance at the Checkatrade.com Stadium.


Nathaniel Oseni had a chance to score the game-winner in the closing minutes of the contest after he was fed by Ward but his effort narrowly missed target.

The stopper was linked with a move to Leicester City earlier this month, having played for the Foxes in the U21 Premier League.


Oseni joined Manchester City as a first year scholar in the summer of 2013 and assisted the U18 squad lift the Premier League North Division title the following year.

Nigerian Exports : Chibuzor Chilaka Nets Wonder Goal; Olarenwaju Kayode Scores In
[/size]

Catch up on the performances of players of Nigerian descent in Europe on Wednesday. Due to the international break, only few matches and some friendlies were held.


Chibuzor Chilaka scored his 12th goal in the National League North as Bradford PA defeated Chorley 1-0. He netted the game-winner ten minutes out of intermission, curling an effort from 25 yards.


In a behind closed doors friendly at Everton’s training ground, ex-Flying Eagles striker Alhaji Gero and Michal Omoh were not included in the starting XI as östersunds FK lost 2-1 to the Toffees.


Olarenwaju Kayode momentarily restored parity for Austria Vienna in the 47th minute in an exhibition game against Wiener Neustadt. The Austrian Bundesliga side lost 3-2 to the opponents.

They don't have to... Let's see what these lots do when up against the likes of Gabriel Jesus (#10 AMF @ palmeiras-- was at last u-20 World cup and scored one and set up two -I think- against us), Andreas perreira (man utd), Felipe anderson (SS lazio), Wallace and even Fabinho who will all be available for Brazil tonight.

It's an experimental but talented Nigerian squad. I'm not expecting much but I hope to see "resolve and dare" in their play tonight.

I wanna know those worthy enough to move into the next phase of our U-23 olympic preps when our "real-deal" U-23 squad roll in for the middle and final stages of preparation.

Nigeria almost score again, great save by Brazil's keeper.
