First question who is the West, we can presume W.Europe. So who is being hyped please name some names. ❓

Tell me one player in the top 5 European leagues that is over 19, in his ever first season of professional first team football and has only played 5/6 league games and scored 2 goals that is being hyped week in and week out ❓ ❓ Please.

Let's compare him to Jaden Sancho and Reise Nelson both are 18 both have had two seasons of first team football.

However, Jaden Sancho couldn't get into City first team so left to Dortmund. He has played 12 out of the 13 games Dortmund has played in Bundesliga this season and he is number one on the team sheet. Dortmund are top of the Bundesliga. He had scored 4 goals and a number of assists. He has now has three caps for England. This is his second season in the Bundesliga. Meanwhile l don't see too much hype around him.

Reise Nelson struggling to get into Arsenal goes on loan to Hoffenhiem in the Bundesliga. This is his second season of professional football. He has played 9 games in the Bundesliga and scored 6 goals.

Only mentioned the two players who are younger and more experienced and at far bigger clubs and black and European. But there isn't too much hype around them yet they are doing really well. However, that may not transfer to the EPL.

Ademola Lookman is 21 this is his fifth season of professional football. Was winning MOTM at the age of 17/18. Played 11 games in Bundesliga and scored 6 goals on loan.

None of these players are being hyped and compared to Mbappe, or touted as the next best thing. Great potential but not a huge amount of Hype.

Consider the number of seasons played at top clubs yet they are looked upon as potential top players not being over hyped and have done quite a lot in the game.

If we were to put down the names of every player in the top 5 league of Europe that's 21 and under that has played 5 games in thier Leagues and call them top talent. That would be making light of the term OUTSTANDING HUGE TALENT.

However, in the context of Nigeria seeing that we have few top talents anybody that just makes a small wave we get Euphoric. l think it's justified under our peculiar circumstances but we really don't need to over do it.

Chukwueze is playing his first season of top flight football. He is in Villareal its not Barca or Real. He is in a very good place where opportunity is given to young promising players. He needs to be there for a good period of time so he can develop, there is a long way to go.

He has undoubted talent, but talent that needs to be nurtured and developed.

I remember Jordan Ibe at 18 playing for Liverpool after all the expectation not hype. He hasn't fulfilled his potential, although he is not doing too badly.


So let's encourage Chukwueze with moderation and positive expectations. That's not under rating our players or pulling them down but being realistic.

Mbappe is a fantastic player no doubt.. But if u wanna know how good he is,use PSG champions league games to judge him not that farmers league called ligue1 . Since the Arabs took over PSG,all other teams in France have been reduced to nothing...

I bet if you put Chukwueze in that PSG team,he would be a star...

mazimee:
Mbappe is playing for a bigger team than Villarreal. If Mbappe was playing with Villarreal on sunday with the same players on the Villarreal's side, He will be handled the same way Chukwueze was handled.


Mbappe could not hurt a fly against Liverpool even with the quality of players on his side. How much more with Villarreal against Barcelona?

Come on, This same Chukwueze was the best player in the field for 20 minutes plus above Messi and the whole Barcelona team until they gave him more than one man to mark him. Even at that he was the best in his team in that match.
It is easier stop a star player in a team of average/below average players than a team of star players. It is equally difficult to stop a team with star players.

Mbappe would have done nada in that match .

darkelf:
How old is mbappe? 19yrs

How old is chukwueze? 19yrs

Did Chukwueze score or assist against Barca? No

Would Mbappe have scored if he played against Barca Yesterday? Most likely (90%)

Who just won best young player in the World football? Mbappe did

Moral of the Story.....let's start holding our boys to higher standards so that chukwueze's career doesn't go the same direction same way KC's career is currently going. That was how we hyped KC when\ he scored a lone goal in 7 matches and started comparing him to Mbappe (greatest football sin this year).

Chukwueze is trying and has been quite impressive considering his background but I know he can do ,uch better

sunnymix:
God blessed modric this year...he will never forget this season.
Happy for you bro.

AIG07:
FIFA and The French Ballon D'or organizers should apologize to Wesley Sneidjer. As he was what Modric is in 2010. But Messi was chosen ahead of him.


Congrats to Luka Modric. World Best Player!

Happy for him. Well deserved.
