Onyekuru bags winner

Henry Onyekuru scored the winner for his side, AS Monaco as they defeated OGC Nice 3-2 in a friendly game played behind closed doors. He played the second 45.



The match sheet

Friendly match: OGC Nice 2-3 AS Monaco (Half-time 2-0)

Goals: Lopes (12th) and Guessand (14th) for OGC Nice; Daniliuc (csc, 58th), Martins (76th) and Onyekuru (88th) for AS Monaco



OGC Nice: Cardinale - Burner, Daniliuc (Pelmard, 73rd), Nsoki, Pioneer (Crétier, 90th) - Kari (Schneiderlin, 73rd), Trouillet (Lees-Melou, 73rd), Sylvestre - Ben Seghir (Sellouki, 42nd), Lopes (Parsemain, 67th), Guessand
Coach: Patrick Vieira

AS Monaco: Pereira - Aguilar (Onyekuru, 46th), Sidibé (Biancone, 67th), Disasi (Marcelin, 67th), Maripan, Caio (Ballo-Touré, 40th) - Tchouameni (Fofana, 46th), Aholou (Fabregas, 67th) , Diop (Matazo, 67th) - Millot, Volland (Martins, 46th)
Coach: Niko Kovac

Monaco is a big club but the way they sell their best players shows they are no longer ambitious.

I wish them the best this season

Learnt that our useless caf lost the afcon cup of nations trophy in Egypt

When you thought you have heard it all, their dumbs keeps getting dumber

Even lowly rated concacaf isnt this bad for crying out loud

Who cursed Africa?

Osihmen will score above 25 goals this new season... I almost said 30....

I have no single doubts about the guy, he would score and keep on scoring..:. Again he would be Africa’s representatives when they are calling STRIKERS....

Just see the quality of his goals, see the way he whoops that shot at the near post, d keeper can’t keep up in the first hat trick match.. his accuracy is Unbelievable, I mean he looks up,saw the small space and whooosh...Goal...

Yesterday,one of my friend’s got tired of me singing BEST YOUNG STRIKER IN THE WORLD...

At the end of the season osihmen would be in the Top 5 highest goal scorer in seria A... he is that good... No hype, just facts....

Lastly, I never watched yekini live for the eagles, maybe I did, probably with my dad as he is a yekini fan boy, same state, same physique but in osihmen we have our own Updated yekini...

He would break and set a new goal record for the NT, He would win multiple Afcon(my mind day tell me 3)and even captain D team and lift one...

The post is long, so is my love for the No 9.... oh victor is not lucky to be in Napoli, the city of Naples are lucky to have him.....

Monaco is a selling club and so do bvb benfica and some few others

If the right offers come bvb will sell haaland immediately and they will replace him immediately also

You can see that they almost sold sancho to Man U

Na wa for those clubs ooooo but Benfica is still doing well.

Very interesting lineups Forgiveness.

Two questions.

1. Iheanacho in the AM role/Behind the striker role behind Osimhen instead of Iwobi. Hmmm.... Why so? Can you give reasons?


2. Mikel Agu instead of Joe Aribo. Agu is a DM like Ndidi so why drop a CM and Box-to-box machine in Aribo for a Destroyer DM like Agu? Really interested in your take.



Observations:

1. Zaidu for Collins. Yes. But I won't be too fast. Zaidu looks very likely to indeed displace Collins but Collins did drop some good numbers from LB last season. All the same, Zaidu will be an upgrade overall.

2. Moses Simon for LW. Honestly, at the moment, he starts. Kalu is a fav of Rohr but so also is Simon. Both have their standout qualities but Simon is the more in-form of the two. A player who played just one season for Nantes and earned a place in their Team of the Decade says a lot about his one season performance. He was even Nantes player of the year and a Marc Vivien foe award (Best African player in Ligue 1) nominee.
However, the emergence of Chidera Ejuke (who is also very likely to get his first Call-up ahead of October) will add even more fight to the LW role as the battle intensifies for who locks down the role permanently as first choice L-Winger but Simon leads for now.

3. Okoye for Uzoho if both feature regularly in their respective leagues. Well, it is a probability but it would be a battle. Uzoho is still first choice and if he is doing just as well in Cyprus as Okoye does in Holland, he may still keep the #1 shirt for a while at the beginning but it won't be for long if Okoye keeps it up in the Eredivisie.

4. Semi Ajayi for Balogun. Yes. But again... The defence is being reinforced which brings me to #5.

5. I assure you this Forgiveness. The "Germans" are coming.

6. @bolded names... I had to spell Iheanacho rightly TWICE for you. And Zaidu too. You too dey misspell their names sometimes. Iffa catch you again ehn!!!

I agree with the second formation apart from Mikel agu

I still need to watch Zaidu at Porto thou

Like Andrewbaba44 rightly replied. Monaco is a selling club. They have been so for a while. Same with Ajax, Dortmund, Lille, Benfica. It is a strong part of these Clubs' business models to buy and recruit "potentially explosive" genuine top talents small and later sell them BIG.

Maybe that’s their way of making their money

Edopesin:


Pulisic Werner Ziyech
Havertz Kovavic
Kante
Chilwell Zouma Silva Azipilicuta


With this squad ignoring the goal keeping department, Top 3 cannot be a struggle

Remember that Tammy Giroud CHO Alonso are still on the bench o

Mehn una never understand sha

Chelsea squad is strong

I will know if you guys will fight for the epl after 10 games

Liverpool with no signings yet should watch their back

Pray Thiago Silva doesn’t get injured sha ,because at 36 he is still on of the top 5 defenders in the world

Not maybe. Na one of their major ways. Nicolas Pepe and Osimhen will be adored by Lille forever for the Mega huge profits both players brought them. This approach is a strong part of these clubs' business models.

1. Since Iwobi is not measuring up to expectation. I will try Iheanacho in that role as a SS. Iheanacho will add more pressure to the opposition defence and can switch position with Osimhen whenever Osimhen drift defenders away from their position to create space and chance for Iheanacho to score.


2. I want us to utilize our full backs upfront hence need for a defensive minded mildfielder to cover for them whenever they overlap. We know our full backs are more attack minded.

Ndidi can play box to box too. Anyway, I think we need to cover for the full backs. If they are not going upfront I think Aribo can come in. Azeez is not bad though.


Observations

1. Zaidu for Collins if he gets to play regularly for Porto.

2. Well, competition is necessary. We need all in the team but as it stands, Moses is ahead. Apart from Kalu and Ejuke, are there any Nigerians able to play in that wing?

3. I don't not have confidence in Uzoho for now. We need to look for a better goalkeeper in the mold of Enyeama.

4. Well, I think Balogun is okay but I don't know if Rohr is interested in him.
