This is what the man said;

''I am not really sure that
this is the place to talk about this. If you
try to put pressure on us, it is not the right
way. Try to win in another way, not this
way.
''There is a referee for that, there is VAR
for that,
it is not your job to talk about
these things.''


I dont think there is anything wrong with that. Any coach would have given such response, u don't expect him to slam his player before the press, no sane coach does that. Chisom knew what she was up to before asking him that question, she wanted to suppress the man by putting him under pressure and drawing the attention of CAF in case it happens against Nigeria. She succeeded, yes buh the man did what he had to do as a professional. Nothing like sexism here


Out of everything he said only the bolded was not id*otic.

Where else should you talk about unsportsmanlike conduct from your team? In church? Nobody was asking him to slam his players. What was wrong with saying "these things are part of football but we are only focus on winning tomorrow's game"? Instead he attacked the woman claiming she is working for Nigeria when in fact she works for Supersports a South African company. The man is a f**l and I pray we disgrace him today.

As far as your every coach would say the same comment I disagree. Rohr wouldn't answer in such a rude fashion in fact after Madagascar Nigerian journalist were very harsh with him but he maintained a cordial tone and was always respectful. Also Pep did not react in this fashion when he was asked about his team making tactical fouls.

CSKA Moscow are said to have made an enquiry for Liverpool and
Nigeria youngster Taiwo Awoniyi, according to reliable journalist Paul
Joyce.
Joyce, who’s one of the most reputable and respected journalists in
regards to Liverpool related-news, stated on Twitter that CSKA have
made enquiry regarding the 21-year-old, with the Reds now set to ask
for £15M if they are to let him go.....

Awoniyi is yet to make an appearance for Liverpool’s first team despite
him being 21, and given the attacking options the club already have at
their disposal, it doesn’t seem as if the player will be making his debut any time soon.
Jurgen Klopp has attackers such as Divock Origi, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Rhian Brewster to choose from this season, thus we can’t see how Awoniyi would find a way to play many
minutes for the club this year.
If CSKA are willing to pay £15M for the Nigerian, we think Klopp’s side so angryhould definitely think about selling him, as that money could then be
used to fund other transfers in the near future.

Obviously because I don't care who does

My point exactly....in case you got lost...was that some countries have more popular players than others....this is what makes others to believe that if a heavyweight meets a lesser country...the heavyweight will win most of the time

Whether the popular players are actually better than those from lesser countries....for example whether Jesse lingard is better than onyekuru, is anybody's guess...but many casuals will go with lingard to perform on the day ahead of onyekuru, because they know who lingard is and where he plays...as opposed to onyekuru

It is why we were labelled favourites against Madagascar....we had better players who are more popular

I said that I'm guessing that's what influenced boutabout to say what he said...because he knows his own players and doesn't really know ours

Whether Algerians oo or polish people know football more isn't really my concern...I'm only trying to establish a theory as to why boutabout feels confident of his nations chances due to the fact that according to him...Nigeria does not have 'big name' players

Youre just writing epistles. The only big name player there is mahrez who isn't even a starter and Iwobi, Ndidi are big names.

If Bout a bout (name purposely spelt that way) likes, let him hype his team, the truth will be revealed today.

Chidera Ejike (64) has completed more dribbles than any other player in the ongoing Eliteserien season; at least 41 more than any other player. Bargain.

To think between 1994 and 2000 Nigeria had had players in Ajax, Juve, AC Milan, Inter, Monaco, PSG, Chelsea, Arsenal etc, these clubs dont look at our players again, 20 years later.

Or we hardly have players good enough for these teams in the 21st century.

What makes you popular partisan support if your country men or CONSISTENT OUTSTANDING TOP CLASS PERFORMANCES.

You are being misleading.

Kanu and JJay Okocha became household names across the globe because they performed.

Even when JJay was at Fenerbache he was known in Europe after disgracing almost the entire Manchester United team in a Champions league game.

So sports pundits use the quality of your players to make generalisations about probability and the who will possibly win. But in football nothing is certain.

The painful bitter truth that nobody wants to accept.

This is why you can appreciate that when a Nigerian player shows some good quality potential we go euphoric withel over the top superlatives. Then we say the next Neymar, Messi, Ronaldinho, etc.

That was poor journalism, thisday didn't report it as it happened. The man saw what Chisom my crush wanted to do, he adjusted asking Chisom to stop piling pressure on him

To me it wasn't poor journalism. There's no difference in that question from asking if his team will win.

The response from the algerian coach was poor and unsportsmanlike. Which pressure was the journalist piling on them? Even foreign media captioned it appropriately: "algerian coach evades question on cheating". It's Nigerian media captioned it wrongly. Our journalist was not disgraced in anyway. It's only in football that cheating is applauded.

The algerian journalists that clapped are towing the line of their country. They enjoy winning by cheating. As bad as our country is, we frown at those football antics.

What did he mean by "try to win in another way"? Was he implying that by virtue of being Nigerian, she was trying to influence a Nigerian win by instigating refree bias pre-match?

He's an idiot, if it were me, I would have given it back to him and told him he should save that advice for his players in the dressing room.

North Africans are the most cunning when it comes to football, they hardly ever play fair, so, he isn't one to make such statement.

Oyo is your case.....

Maybe you think I'm hyping up Algeria or whatever. But as I have said repeatedly, oga boutabout said Nigeria doesn't have big name players. Im saying he probably assumes this because he doesn't know nigerian players as he thinks

I went further to say that what boutabout is doing is how most casuals look at a match and judge immediately once they see players they can recognise in one team....that such a team will beat the other with lesser known or unknown players. I also said that even his team is not that great but because he knows players in his team and he doesn't know those in ours, he is sure Algeria will win....I was looking at his mindset in how he arrived at this assumption

If you left this and started focusing on the 'epistle', it means you have time....and you should have gleaned from what I'm saying that boutabout is only being ignorant of the full picture
