I thought you had quit

Mujtahida:

Johan Cruyff abi. I agree with you.

Oasis007:


Best moments of Super Eagles were when we played jogo bonito. We were known for entertaining the spectators while still dominating the opponent.

Eagles of old days would outplay the opponent with scintillating skills. You would see fans joyfully shouting; eh! eh!! eh!!!, even while watching on TVs. Every Kid wanted to be Okocha, Maradona back then.

Football is deád.

Mujtahida:

Thy chest? 😂😂😂This guy. You dey smoke gbana ooo.

He saying it would be DIFFICULT doesn't mean there are no chances of other midfielders breaking in.
Mind you, this is Manu Garba talking about his U17 team and not just one novice U17 coach.

After being part of several U17 teams I want to believe he already knows the standards expected of every player in every position. He may also be speaking based on timing.

Let's just watch patiently to see the caliber of Players he will churn out of his factory this time.

#Throwback to When a journalist asked Mourinho: "City controlled the ball for 90 minutes, and the possession rate was more than 80%."

Mourinho: "They can take the ball home with them. I took 3 points."

Classic José Mourinho!

Mujtahida:
I think Oliseh and Amokachi have debunked this insinuations about USA 94 and Rashidi's goal. Amokachi who was accused of beefing Rashidi said that he could never beef Rashidi because Rashidi was an icon he looked up to. The interview is on YouTube.

And the beautiful thing about this is that, Jose was an assistant when pep was cutting his teeth, he saw through it, And he sure knows how to play the game6the old way

Not this passing for housing the name of possession

do4luv14:



And it's same thing Madrid did to them, they controlled ball for more than 90mins, Yet Madrid took the win and marching, while they went home to dream again,

TheSuperNerd:


True. He speaks based on timing hence this article from yesterday but I am afraid as well coz he may not find the quality needed in certain roles if he limits his sights to certain places only. The NFF is to be blamed for this. Just hoping Manu and the crew makes the most of this short period.


Golden Eaglets rule out open screening

Hundreds of aspiring hopefuls were left disappointed at the Golden Eaglets first training in Abuja after they were sent away without getting the chance to try out with the national U17s.

Officials told SCORENigeria that with the short time to prepare for the U17 AFCON qualifiers in Ghana, coach Manu Garba is fully focused on working only with the 51 players he invited.

It was further learnt that most of the invited players have already done the mandatory MRI age test and are therefore eligible to feature at the WAFU B U17 AFCON qualifiers in Ghana from May 15.

Coach Manu was assisted by the team co-ordinator for the two training sessions on the first day of training camp Thursday.

It is expected that the newly constituted backroom staff will also soon be in place.

Nigeria are the defending WAFU B U17 champions after they beat Burkina Faso in the championship game in Cape Coast, Ghana, two years ago.

TheGoodJoe:
The NFF should tell us who drew the list. This U17 was formed before the arrival of the coach. Crazy.

Kog45:
This is under 17 team and with academies all over then getting 51 players should not be a issue….the era of throwing camp open is gone.Manu Garba is expert regarding U17 so left for him to do the needful and there is no way NFF don’t contact the likes of Manus for inputs even when they are not in charge.

Which kind input? The coach builds the team, not make inputs. Even U17 again. Na wa. They should go and coach if they know so much.

TheGoodJoe:

Penalties O!

Everything in this country is connection. If hundreds of players gate crashed, at least give them a benefit of doubt. But NO. I believe those 51 players were recommended by top politicians. Let's watch and see. If Manu Garba fails in this WAFU tourney, he will bear the consequences alone. None of those politicians will even give him a shoulder to cry on.

TheGoodJoe:


The era is gone because of corrupt people running the system. It is now unfair and not balanced. The open screening can still be done and discover better players than those in academies. This is crap and I can smell it from miles away. Manu Garba did not assemble that team. Who did?

TheGoodJoe:

TheGoodJoe:


Which kind of nonsense talk is this? Have you screened to know if they are better talents than them? I hate the mindset of no one is better without seeing others. Biko, who drew up the list?

Kog45:
In the 80s,National Youth sports festival,YSFON and Manuwa Adebajo cup players formed U17 team.It was from 90s,precisely Japan 93 team that we started seeing players from Nigeria leagues.

My point if we have academies representing us at international tournaments,having various youth clubs across the country playing in youth league then what is the need for open camping again….Yes I repeat it,the invitation of under age players like under 17 are done by engaging various stake holders in under age football development,even Manu Garba cannot do it alone.

Taiwo Awoniyi got his opportunity after represented Nigeria under 15 in UK summer camp and was recommended by Seyi Olofinjana with video clip,watched by Manu in NFF secretariat.

Manu Garba is an old horse who knows what he wants and left for him to decide on the list.
