Victor Osimhen - the world's best No 9 - is driving a feverish club and city on to their first Serie A title in 33 years… the £150m-rated Man United target is a more complete player than Erling Haaland and so good luck prising him away from Napoli! He may not be quite as prolific as Haaland - who is? - but Osimhen is a more complete No 9
Sporting a protective mask after breaking his cheekbone and eye socket in November 2021, the 24-year-old even looks like a superhero.He has 16 goals in 17 Serie A appearances this term but there is so much more to his game. His speed terrifies defenders, as does his strength.

Unlike Haaland, he links play superbly and has developed a deadly understanding with fellow attacker Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, another of Europe's top players this season.

Roaring his team on from sidelines after he had been substituted during a recent win over Roma, Osimhen showed himself to be natural leader. Yet nearly every elite player today craves the challenge of the Premier League. With United and Chelsea badly lacking a No9, it promises to be a busy summer.

One thing is certain: an Osimhen vs Haaland duel would be something to savour.

no be me talk am oooooo, this is according to dailymail....oyibo newspaper

I knew you would come in. We had this conversation a while ago. grin. Besides why you no go listen first? By accuracy I wasn't even referring to the MRI, I was addressing his point that all our players present correct ages(even the recent ones). I hope you are not trying to be academic about this, but if you are, can you tell us how accurate the system it is? As in, what are the chances a 19-year-old might pass the MRI? What's the uncertainty? Besides some studies indicate maturities differ across races in accordance with TW2 standards. What's the degree of uncertainty? Please present sources too. This article is in good faith. cheesy grin

Kindly read the result of the research this time slowly. The last sentence also highlighted a major diffrence.
The table you posted focused mainly on the variation among race but did not rule � out the efficiency of the scan.

Former Super Eagles assistant coach Emmanuel Amuneke opens up on the Eagles failure to qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, what the team lacked against Ghana and lessons learnt from the painful ouster in this interview with JOHNNY EDWARD

How did you feel after the Eagles’ failure to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar?

I’m still trying to overcome the failure. I’m very sad and very disappointed not to have helped the team achieve its aim of qualifying for the World Cup because that was the dream of the technical crew, to help the Eagles qualify. I want to use this opportunity to apologise to Nigerians for the team’s inability to pick the ticket for Qatar. It’s very painful but I believe we will learn from this and become better as a team. I thank the Nigeria Football Federation and the sports minister for the opportunity to serve my fatherland in that capacity.

What was going through your mind when score was level 1-1 between the Eagles and Ghana in Abuja?



A lot of things were on my mind throughout the game, but this is not the best time to lay blame on anybody. We just did not take advantage of the chances and win the game in the second leg in Abuja. This is the time to learn from the mistakes, accept our fate and move on. The Ghanaians came with a plan to defend compactly and wait for any real chance to attack, which happened with that goal they scored in the 11th minute. We knew they were going to defend but we were confident we were going to outscore them with the talents we had. But with the information we had (about Ghana), we needed some personnel to handle some tasks effectively, which did not happen.

Are you saying the Eagles didn’t have the kind of players needed for the kind of system you wanted to adopt?

The head coach (Austin Eguavoen) was in charge of the team and he decided what system and which players fitted into the system. My job was to provide technical assistance, which I did throughout the games in Accra and Abuja. It’s now left to who is in charge to take it or leave it. We have good players in the team in all departments but the team still needs a good passer of the ball from midfield. A player that can create space from our own half with just a pass from quick movements will be the final piece in the Eagles’ jigsaw.



On a personal note, what have you learnt from the Eagles failure to qualify for the World Cup?

As a leader you have to be firm in decision-making after due consultation. The Eagles backroom set up has to change tactically. We need a sound physical trainer and match reader, good video analyst. We lack all these and that’s the truth. Football these days is all about information. The England team have a crew of over 10 coaches who supply information to the head coach (Gareth Southgate) every game they play. We need to help whoever is in charge in all these aspects, going forward, to ensure he succeeds.

Are you saying Austin Eguavoen didn’t get enough help?

I’m talking about myself, not him (Eguavoen). If I have the opportunity again, I will stand firm on what I believe is best for the team. It’s a collective goal because the results will affect us.

What kind of coach do you think the Eagles need now?

They need a very sound and tactical coach with current information for his team to learn from and be better, one who is open to new ideas and system of play and firm on his decision-making.

What do you think was the major reason for the Eagles’ defeat?


We simply did not exploit the spaces in the Ghanaian defence and take our chances when we had them. We lost most of the second ball, didn’t fight enough and basically were blighted by injuries. Innocent Bonke who did well in the first leg missed the second leg due to injury and Frank Onyeka who also came in for the second leg suffered an injury after half time in Abuja. When the Black Stars switched to a back five, we knew about that, we needed someone to sit in front of the defence as a shield and allow Oghenekaro Etebo and Joe Aribo push up forward to make up the numbers in attack with the wingers. After 10 minutes, the Ghanaians replaced their right-back and introduced another defender to make them six, which made it more difficult. We also switched to a back three, bringing on Sadiq Umar towards the end of the game after Odion Ighalo and Ahmed Musa had been introduced but there was no urgency in their play.

Many believe the first leg 0-0 draw in Kumasi was where the Eagles lost the tie. Do you share the same view?

We were very solid in Kumasi defensively, but offensively we did not do much, which was the only low point of the game. The Ghanaians played well and had only one real threat at goal which Francis (Uzoho) parried away. We had chances in Abuja but did not take them. We lost most of the second balls in duels and that made it difficult. We also did not show enough bravery. It was unfortunate that he (Uzoho) conceded that goal in Abuja. These experiences will make him stronger going forward.

Did the team miss midfielder Wilfred Ndidi?

Obviously, we did miss Ndidi a lot but those who stepped in did a good job even if we missed the ticket for the World Cup. He would have helped us a lot in the midfield, which was the strength of the Ghanaians.

Reports say you were not aware of the players’ selection for the play-offs. How true is this?

That’s the truth. Initially, I was not informed but later I was briefed about that. But it won’t be right for me to talk about all that happened behind the scene in public because it is a lesson, and like I said, this is not the time to blame anyone for their lapses but to try and see how this experience will make us better.



If you were in charge of the Eagles, what would you have done differently against the Ghanaians?

Not much of a difference, as my job has always been to help my players develop. I would provide my team with the necessary information to make them better players. I would be open to ideas and constructive criticism, and above all discuss with my team always on our strength and that of our opponents.

The Nigeria Football Federation withdrew the two-and-half-year contract offered you and other backroom officials. Do you think the NFF board members should resign as well?

The contract offered me has not been signed by me yet because there were some issues my lawyer raised. They decided to withdraw it, that’s no problem. The board can only decide that themselves if they want to resign or continue.

There’s this general opinion that Nigerian players born abroad don’t know what it takes to play for Nigeria. What’s your take?[/b]

This is a very sensitive issue that one should be careful about. These players should not be blamed for representing the Eagles. After all, we lured them to come and play for us. As coaches, it’s our job to integrate them gradually into the system so they don’t suffer a backlash from the fans when they don’t play to that level we know they can perform. Calvin Bassey is a good defender who is very strong just as Ademola Lookman is also a quality winger.

How far do you think Africa’s representatives Ghana, Senegal, Algeria, Cameroon and Morocco can go at the World Cup?


It is unfortunate that Nigeria won’t be there in Qatar. But I believe with good preparations, a bit of luck and attention to detail, teams representing Africa can reach the quarter-finals. Senegal and Cameroon, Tunisia, Morocco and Ghana all have good chances to make the continent proud. We will be rooting for the five of them when the tournament starts. Senegal has a good chance to make history and I hope they arrive at the tournament in good shape.

Going forward, what are your immediate plans as a coach?

At the moment, I’m taking my time now to reflect on the World Cup miss and also consider the options I have as well. I hope I get the chance to lead the team again and show Nigerians that indigenous coaches can offer a lot more.

Uzoho is a more tested goalie.
I can hardly think of he conceding the types of cheap goals Okoye is conceding.
Besides, also, he looks more confident in goal.

My greatest fear going into that AFCON was our Goalkeeping department.

What really helped Okoye at the group stage was that our team was way stronger than their opponents and didn't really receive any major goals threat. The only shot that was directed at Okoye all tournament he could not save.
Even if we had scaled through Tunisia I doubt we could have scaled through the next stage.
Look at even the penalty we conceded against Sudan and the way Okoye was mesmerized by the kicker. Na that kine keeper for carry us through Normal penalty shootouts?

I think we are being unfair to Okoye, and we are still relying on what Uzoho has done in the past. Since his long time injury he hasn't gotten to that particular peak he had then while Okoye has gone on to win the Eradivise keeper of the year( by a magazine or so) and got a transfer to EPL say a lot
Okoye might be shaky in the GWG but we have two different coaches who still prefer Okoye to Uzoho, that should tell us how NAD he has decline. Uzoho has only played 13 games this season and we all know how important playing is for a Keeper.
Not saying Okoye has been decent in GWG but thinking Uzoho will be better is not it. The better we accept he is the best among them for now and keep searching for a better Goalkeeper the better

You are intentionally hiding information here during their unbeaten run they beat Tunisia, Senegal (twice), Colombia, Nigeria (twice) while their draws included teams like Tunisia and Mexico who were above them at the time of the rankings, they also dispatched minnows like Djibouti, Niger, Botswana and Mauritania with a cumulative score of 37-1 over the course of 3 years which makes it one of the best runs in the world during this period if you show me how they have not managed to be the best in Africa and how Morocco especially had a better run then I would take you seriously

I posted the whole of the unbeaten run and you are still insinuating am hiding information .

I already posted a world known method use in calculating it and how Algeria moved from 67 (13 in Africa) to 29( 2 in Africa ) and you still believe there is a conspiracy against them.

I will also take you serious if you can prove the irregularities involve and they should be rank higher base in the metrics used.

The Algeria unbeaten run and the matches play.
in Algeria 35 unbeaten run they had 10 draws( 2 friendlies and 8 Qualifiers all against them ranked lower than them)

Interestedly, Algeria were 13th in Africa and 67th in the world before the unbeaten started.
Now they are second in Africa and 29th in the world.
