Work rate, intensity, skills, multiple roles, tracking back and others. Richarlison beats Pulisic well, hands down.

Richarlison has a far better work rate than Pulisic.

Richarlison is better in playing multiple roles.

Richarlison plays with more intensity.

Richarlison is even a far better player rated in the EPL.

Richarlison for a forward puts in a lot of work defensively. He is a coach's delight.

You can not compare them. Richarlison pulls off more dribbles than Pulisic.

This personal development thingy no just gum body with SE plays, especially in Setpieces. Why? And many are inspired by cr7, but can't do hours of freekick trainings as he does per week outside normal team training sessions..... Abi they waiting for technical crew of the team before they think of such?
our boys are so lazy and lack ambition, it is just about the money
I use to bash Mikel daily when he was at Chelsea for not learning even freekick for this team mates that were expert at it

You compared two forwards in everything except goals and assists

lmao
I remember reading an article on this, The author concluded that Black Africans in Europe tend to take interest in sport and be better to escape the "racial stereotyping". Especially the ones that moved just before teen

Actually, Children of West African origin have a higher attainment level at university than upper white class children in the UK.

However, as soon as they leave university with with thier higher grade degrees. That graph of high achievment does not have a gradual decline, No. But an immediate flip over and Africa origin children become bottom of the pile.

After 10 years or less the boys with 2:2, 3rd class and let my people go degrees are now your bosses.

This is not subjective assumption but proven established FACT. The lack of and or denial of Black people position in football management. Is absolutely reflective of nearly every sector in the UK with even worse ratios of unrepresentation.

Thats why it's called institutional, systemic racial discrimination. It's similar to tribalism in Nigeria not the same but similar.

Attacking Midfielder? not really

In the beginning of the season he also played as a lone striker (4-2-3-1) in some matches with Calvert on the bench and when Ancelotti came he played him more as a striker with Calvert in 4-4-2 and not as winger.

Last season he was basically a striker

By mistake?

Now using you Oghenekome as an instance, since you were born by mistake in London, is it wrong to call you a London boy?

Yes it is.

Because l was born in the UK but made in Warri.

I am also de-tribalised able to speak my language and conversational Igbo. In addition I have assets in the heart of Igbo land too as well.

Dont forget I went to high school in Warri before I left Nigeria to universities in the UK.

I agree that there's systemic racism in the UK and I personally think it has more similarities with tribalism than differences.

Your first paragraph is the question the author was trying to answer. Why do Africans do so well in these situations of sport and academics? is it because we are a superior race with superior genes? of course not

It is more or less the same with the Yoruba's and ibo's doing so well in Uniben and While Edolites do better in Unilag or Uyo but when they graduate they won't get as much opportunities in the state than their peers with origins from the state.

The difference being skin color in the UK (Racism) but your state of origin in Nigeria (Tribalism)

No upcoming young players now. They will likely end up like CIV
