Nigerian players who shone across Europe this weekend: September 17-18 (Friday & Saturday) 1. Umar "Sadika" Sadiq (CF) Brace (UD Almeria): Played 90mins+ AD Alcorcón 0-4 UD Almeria (La Liga Smartbank) *Could have been a hattrick but he missed his penalty kick, hitting it on to the crossbar before the ball rebounded in off Jimenez's back. So it was recorded eventually as an Owngoal. In all, A brilliant performance from the technically gifted and intelligently mobile Umar. "Sadika" now tops the La liga Smartbank scoring charts. Expecting another high scoring season from him and surely La Liga will be his destination. *58% passing accuracy, 2 chances created, 3 shots on target, 5 shots off target, 2 shots hit woodwork, 1 penalty miss, 2 big chances missed, 100% accurate long balls (1/1), 4/6 ground duels won, 4/6 aerial duels won, 3 tackles, 1 interception, 2 clearances, caught offside five times, was fouled once. *4 goals, 1 assist in 6 league games (6 starts) 2. Emmanuel Dennis Bonaventure (FW - Played LW) Goal (Watford): Played 73mins Norwich City 1-3 Watford FC (EPL) *56% passing accuracy, 2 shots on target, 1/7 ground duels won, 100% aerial duels won (3/3), 2 fouls committed, 1 tackle *2 goals, 1 assist in 5 league games (5 starts) *1 EFL Carabao Cup game (Zero start) 3. Oviemuno Ejaria (CM - Played LW) Brace (Reading FC): Played 90mins+ Fulham FC 1-2 Reading FC (Skybet/EFL English Championship) *Beautifully taken goals. Showing what he can do when he plays closer to the box. His LW role has afforded him some bit of freedom to shoot at will when the opportunity presents itself. The second goal is my pick of the two. Brilliant first touch and show of strength to hold off the pressure from Tosin Adarabioyo before slotting in. Aside his goals, Ejaria is another Midfield option that would add something from the creative front. Has fine tendency to give throughballs. He, Alhassan, and Nwakali are Midfielders who can show their quality and make an instant impact if given the kind of chance Kingsley Michael (who hasn't played a competitive club game in a long while before being named on the NT list) and Bonke were given. With Kingsley, we saw a hard working Midfield grafter who did really well on his NT debut but we suffered Zero creativity from deep. We created nothing through the middle. Not even one single lines-breaking Midfield delivery. But I believe with the aforementioned 3 options, we can address it. The latter two look more adept at it though (i.e. Lines-breaking passing that disrupts a team's defensive shape in seconds). TDB is yet another option. *76% passing accuracy, 1 chance created, 2 shots on target, 2/4 successful dribbles, 7/12 ground duels won, 6/8 aerial duels won, 2 interceptions, 1 tackle, 2 clearances, 2 fouls committed, was fouled 4 times *2 goals in 3 league games (3 starts) 4. Okwonkwo Orji (FW) Goal - Match Winner (AS Cittadella): Played 63mins AS Cittadella 1-0 Pordenone (Serie B) *55% passing accuracy, 1 chance created, 2 shots on target, 2/5 ground duels won, 2/4 aerial duels won, 2 fouls committed, 1 tackle, was fouled once. *2 goals in 4 league games (4 starts) *1 goal in 1 Coppa Italia game (1 start) 5.

Maduka Okoye (GK) Decent Performance (Sparta Rotterdam): Played 90mins+ Sparta Rotterdam 1-1 Nec Nijmegen (Dutch Eredivisie) *3 saves, 2 punches, 57% passing accuracy, 8/17 accurate long balls, 2 clearances, 9 recoveries. *5 league games (5 starts) *1 cleansheet in 2 games (2 starts) for NT in 21/22 6. Tom Dele-Bashiru (CM) Decent Midfield Performance (Reading): Played 90mins+ Fulham FC 1-2 Reading FC (Skybet/EFL English Championship) *92% passing accuracy, 1 shot on target, 1/3 successful dribbles, 2/5 ground duels won, 100% aerial duels won (1/1), 1 clearance, 1 blocked shot, 1 tackle *2 goals, 1 assist in 6 league games (5 starts) 7. Toluwalase Arokodare (CF) Goal - Late Equaliser (Amiens SC): Played 20mins + 5mins added time off the bench Nimes Olympique 3-3 Amiens SC (Ligue 2) *The 1.96m Big Young Striker bagging a point-saving Equaliser in the final min of added time. Clutch. *57% passing accuracy, 2 shots on target, 1 shot off target, 1 big chance missed, 100% dribbling success (1/1), 4/5 aerial duels won, 1/3 ground duels won, 1 foul committed *2 goals in 7 league games (2 starts) 8. Anthony Nwakaeme (LW) Match-Winning Assist (Trabzonspor): Played 90mins+ Kasimpasa 0-1 Trabzonspor (Turkish Super Lig) *4 goals, 2 assists in 5 league games (5 starts) *1 Goal in 4 UECL Qualifying games (4 starts) 9. 26 y/o Marvin Ekpiteta Goal + Solid Defensive Showing (Blackpool FC): Played 90mins+ Middlesbrough 1-2 Blackpool FC (Skybet/EFL English Championship) *67% passing accuracy, 1 big chance created, 1 chance created, 1 shot on target, 5 clearances, 5 recoveries, 2 interceptions, 1 blocked shot, 2/4 ground duels won, 5/9 aerial duels won, was fouled twice *1 Goal, 1 Cleansheet in 5 league games (5 starts) 10.

Ifeanyi Matthew (CDM) Assist + Solid Midfield Performance (Lillestrøm SK): Played 90mins+ Odds BK 2-3 Lillestrøm SK (Norwegian Eliteserien) *3 chances created, 72% passing accuracy, 3/9 accurate long balls, 3/5 ground duels won, 2/4 aerial duels won, 1 interception, 3 tackles, 6 recoveries, 1 foul committed. *1 Goal, 3 assists in 19 league games (19 starts) 14.

Cyriel Kolawole Dessers (CF - ST) Goal and Assist (Feyenoord): Played 7mins + 5mins added time off the bench PSV Eindhoven 0-4 Feyenoord (Dutch Eredivisie) *Dessers delivered what is perhaps the best Cameo performance of the weekend across Europe. What a way to mark your return to the Eredivisie and your Feyenoord league debut. And doing so against a tough rival. Dessers was surely in Cloud 9. Splendid showing in just 12mins. *1 chance created, 75% passing accuracy, 1 shot on target, 1 shot off target, 100% dribbling success (1/1), 1/2 ground duels won *1 Goal, 1 assist in 1 league game (Zero start) *2 assists in 3 league games (1 start) for Genk [i]*1 Goal in 2 UCL Qualifying games (Zero starts) *1 Super Cup game (Zero start) for Genk *1 UECL game (Zero start) 2.

Moses Simon (LW) Double Assists (FC Nantes): Played 66mins SCO Angers 1-4 FC Nantes (Ligue 1) *Another Crossing Clinic (one from a cornerkick, the other from a low ball sent into the box) from Moses Simon saw him bag a brace of assists helping his side to a huge win on the road. His Crossing ability is a weapon when it does click. One of The Leading Assist makers in the European leagues currently. *3 chances created, 2 big chances created, 2/7 accurate crosses, 1 shot off target, 3/7 ground duels won, 1/3 successful dribbles, 2 tackles, 1 foul committed. *5 assists in 6 league games (6 starts) *2 games (2 starts) for NT in 21/22 4. 23 y/o Stephen Odey (FW - CF) Brace (Randers): Played 88mins Randers FC 3-2 FC Nordsjaelland (Danish Super Ligaen) *81% passing accuracy, 2 chances created, 4 shots on target, 1 shot off target, 2 big chances missed, 1/3 successful dribbles, 100% accurate long balls, 2/4 ground duels won, 2/5 aerial duels won, 1 tackle *2 goals in 2 league games (1 start) *1 UECL game (Zero start) 5. Joe Aribo (CM) Assist and Masterclass Midfield Performance (Rangers): Played 90mins+ Glasgow Rangers 1-1 Motherwell (SPFL) *What a Commanding performance from Joe Aribo. What a display. This is the sort of showing you drop that should see your team bagging all 3 points but his teammates let him down several times in the game. Aribo balled like a man possessed. Creating 8 chances in one game, 2 of which were huge chances squandered by his teammates. Must be disappointed at his team's result but he can be proud of his performance. This is the Aribo we ask for consistently. An Aribo who is bold, asserts his authority and steps up to the plate when needed. On his day, A Top player and Correct Baller. *2 big chances created, 6 chances created, 76% passing accuracy, 100% dribbling success (3/3), 6/9 ground duels won, 2/3 aerial duels won, 100% accurate long balls (1/1), 1 tackle, 1 interception, 1 foul committed, was fouled twice, 2 shots off target, 3 shots blocked. *1 goal, 1 assist in 6 league games (6 starts) *1 assist in 1 league Cup game (1 start) *2 UEL qualifying games (2 starts) & 1 UCL Qualifying game (1 start) *1 UEL game (1 start) *1 game (1 start) for NT in 21/22 6. Jamilu Collins (LB) Top Class Fullback performance (SC Paderborn 07): Played 90mins+ Erzgebirge Aue 1-4 SC Paderborn 07 (Bundesliga 2) *85% passing accuracy, 1 big chance created, 3 recoveries, 2 chances created, 8/11 accurate long balls, 3 tackles, 1 interception, 1 clearance, 1 blocked shot, 7/9 ground duels won, 1/2 aerial duels won, 100% dribbling success (2/2), was fouled twice. *2 assists, 2 cleansheets in 7 league games (7 starts) & in 8 games (8 starts) in all comps. *2 games (2 starts) for NT in 21/22 7. Kelechi Nwakali (CM - Played predominantly on the right of Central Midfield) Solid Midfield Performance (SD Huesca): Played 72mins SD Huesca 0-0 CF Fuenlabrada (La Liga Smartbank) *Delivered close to 3 lines-breaking passes from deep as part of his midfield acts before making way in the 72nd min. The sort of deeplying playmaking qualities that stands him out among the midfield options we are considering for the Super Eagles. This Midfield trait is missing in our Eagles' Midfield due to lack of bonafide Midfield conductors/dictators. Deeplying ball playing MFs who can pick a pass from anywhere and through any angle. Another player with this quality is Alhassan Yusuf of Antwerp. Ejaria is another who may come close but is likelier to do a job more effectively as an AM even though he does have the lungs for the CM role as well and improvise in the role. Hopefully, Kelechi continues to keep things up. He shouldn't play for a NT call-up. He should just keep playing to enjoy his football and get into real super consistent groove again and the rest will follow with time. *84% passing accuracy, 6/8 accurate long balls, 100% dribbling success (2/2), 5/9 ground duels won, 2 tackles, 4 recoveries, 1 foul committed, was fouled once. *5 league games (3 starts) 8.

Ishaq Abdulrazak (MF - Played RM/RWB) Assist + Impressive Performance (IFK Norrköping): Played 90mins+ IFK Norrköping 2-0 Örebro SK (Swedish Allsvenskan) *96% passing accuracy, 1 big chance created, 1 chance created, 100% accurate long balls (2/2), 100% accurate crosses (1/1), 1 shot off target, 1/3 successful dribbles, 4/11 ground duels won, 3 tackles, 1 blocked shot, 1 foul committed *1 assist in 19 league games (19 starts) 11.

Opinion: Three Reasons Why Super Eagles Could Emerge As AFCON 2021 Champions kabiyesi As you set your foot on the majestic Cairo international Airport at El Nozha, Governorate, you're welcome by stern looking custom officers who ensure that you get a clear passage into the country without much ado. Walking through the arrival Hall, pictures of Hassan brothers, Aboutreka and other Egyptian's football heroes with AFCON medals hanging on their necks adorned the walls. But from Heliopolis to Tahir Square, football is being worshiped in Cairo, and every single Pharaoh fan believe Nigeria Super Eagles is Egypt's major threat in the African Cup of Nations. Both countries will again rekindle their rivalry in Group D opener when AFCON 2021 get underway in Cameroon next January, and all eyes will be on Nigeria and Egypt to make an easy passage to the next round considering the strength and pedigree of Sudan and Guinea-Bissau. While host Cameroon will be looking forward to avenging their second round defeat to Nigeria at the last edition in Egypt, other teams like Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Algeria, and Senegal are expected to parade a crack side that is capable of sweeping their way to the podium. While the big boys are always tipped to win the competition, below are three major reasons why Nigeria could emerge 2021 AFCON champions. 1. Rohr Now Understand The Terrain Better. Super Eagles gaffer seems to understand African football terrain better after three appearances at the AFCON with Burkina Faso, Gabon, and Nigeria. He now understands all that he needs to put together to win Africa most prestigious competition: a near perfect goalkeeper, water tight defense, a well knitted midfield that is powered by goal hungry strikers that are armed to the teeth, and of course, a strong bench. Rohr now understands how to be wary of injuries in the group stage and above all, keep his best for the last. These and many other factors would be a defining factor in his quest to win his first AFCON diadem. 2. Nigeria Is Blessed With The Right Talents. Barring any injuries, Nigeria seems to parade the most talented and youngest squad at the moment with some its players playing their trade is some big European clubs. Besides, the experience gained in Egypt will be useful for most of the players that will fly the green and white flag in Cameroon. 3 Everything Is Under Control Yet qualifications aside, Rohr seems to have everything under control, and he is strictly sticking to his program. He is set to visit Super Eagles hotel and training pitch, while effort is in top gear to pick a training camp in Europe. These are good steps in the right direction. 2 Likes |

MetalJigsaw: Nice write up! However, I still have a reservation. Unfortunately I am not completely sold with this Okoye guy as our goalkeeper. His conceded goals appear really soft ( Please rewatch the highlights of his conceded goals to appreciate my concern). I literally shake in fear whenever our opponents are close to our goal post in any match. Any bad day by our defense and you see exactly what I mean ( the Sierra leonian game comes to mind). There is a saying that goes thus "if it is not broken, don't fix it." Why would Rohr replace Uzoho who was doing a very good job and improving with every match with this Okoye guy ( Please rewatch the Ukraine and Brazil friendly game to see what I mean). In conclusion, going back to your article, no mater how good a team is, you cannot win any laurel with an inept goalkeeper guarding your goalpost. 7 Likes |
