Rohr Set To Hand Full Debut To Chelsea
Loanee Ola Aina Vs Algeria

https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/18796OlaAina.jpg

Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr has hinted that
he will hand a full debut to Chelsea defender
Ola Aina in November's World Cup qualifier
against Algeria, with uncertainty surrounding
the fitness of Sivasspor's Elderson Echiejile.

The Monaco loanee suffered an ankle injury
during the Super Eagles workout last
Tuesday, and aggravated the same injury in
the closing minutes of Nigeria's 1-0 win over
Zambia on October 7.

Speaking to reporters at the NFF secretariat
in Abuja, Rohr stated that Echiejile faces four
weeks on the sidelines, and might not be
considered for the game with the North
Africans.

''Already we know that Elderson Echiejile is
ruled out of the game because he is out for
about four weeks due to the injury he
sustained, '' Rohr said, according to
scorenigeria.com.ng.

Ola Aina made his competitive debut for the
Nigerian national team off the bench when he
replaced Echiejile in the 79th minute against
Zambia.

The 21-year-old's preferred position is right
back as he is right-footed.

i'll love to see Ebuehi and Aina starts together as our full backs and seeing both swap position in the second half to know who is better when it comes to the R and L back.

VICTOR MOSES IS MY WORLD CUP JOKER – Eagles Coach Gernot Rohr Reveals

Nigeria won’t have much problems at Russia 2018 World Cup according to coach Gernot Rohr if their star forward Victor Moses stay injury free from now till the period leading to the tournament.
https://i2.wp.com/owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/IMG_3680.jpg
Rohr said the abilities of Victor Moses in playing different roles will come handy to the team in Russia, if he stays fit, and according to Rohr he was the most impressive player during the World Cup Qualifiers.
”The most impressive player in my team is Victor Moses. He is fast, quick in football and I hope he will not get injured before the World Cup in Russia. I have absolute confidence in him”, Rohr said in chat with newsmen.
”For the World Cup, we must build a better team more than better than the qualifying team if we are to do well at the global stage. I also need the experience players “, he concluded.
Moses who plays as a wing back for Chelsea, but plays in attack for Nigeria was the top scorer for the Super Eagles who are through to the World Cup with a game to spare after their 1-0 win over Zambia last weekend.

hmmm... When will our coaches learn how to keep their cards close to their chests.

Here again, Rohr don de tell the world who his best player is.

Mujtahida:
Did we even shoot at all from outside the box in Saturday's match? I can't recall we did

Mikel, Ndidi, S. Moses all took shots outside the box. S. Moses own lacks enough power. One thing lacking was composure. I don't know if that can be taught. I would have ask Iwobi and Iheanacho to teach other team members.
We also misplaced so much passes.

soetanoreoluwa:
Can anybody force player on Rohr?...
And the person will walk into first 23 list players?

At this moment he has the potential not as good as nacho and ighalo and moreover alot of water will still pass under the bridge 8 months too..

so many things goes on behind the scene and don't forget this is the biggest stage of football.
I think you know that Tammy is the son to Amaju's friend-so much for football politics.

So many players will start performing for their clubs and national team lobbying will begin.

daveP:
Yeah cos if we play well and lose, at least we would know where to improve on. meanwhile our senators are suggesting looted funds be used to fund our russian dream. smh.

those ones are just after their pockets.
I have loose hope in the present administration or let me say in this group of leaders.

Why is it that our players are not or less ambitious? Or am I the only one seeing this? Did anyone notice that all the shots our players took were wayward? Except for our goalie...

If my memory serves me right, there was no report on shooting drills in their last camp. I was only wondering what went wrong? This same sets of boys put in an amazing performances against previous opponents with wonderful shots accuracies that threatens the goal keepers and gave us some share number of goals. But the story was different last weekend they all kept hitting it wide.

I expect these guys to keep having some personal trainings at their clubs to increase their overal playing abilities. Even till now I'm not convinced with Ndidi's performance in the SEs. dude hasn't replicate his club performance nor improve on his showings. That's why I laugh when people clamour for onazi to be dropped for him while Mikel plays the CMF role.

soetanoreoluwa:
Finid gets the under 17 job... But Paul Aigbogun for under 20...what happened to manu and amunike?

this is a great news. I don't know him though. But I'm sure he'll bring something new.

daveP:
The effect of a volatile, active tech director i guess. i suggest 2 south american teams, 3 top european teams(2going to russia, 1 not going), 2 asian wc teams. 7 in all. this will help.

brilliant! only if the concerned will see this your post. That's the only way to prepare and to make the players psychologically ready cos most of our players haven't square up against world bests

I'm not against a Tammy's possible switch. But my question is Is he better than the duo of O. Ighalo and KI? If yes, your assumption is on what basis? Youth football or club football?

We don't want a scenario where d dude will switch finish and he'll be forced on Rohr.
Cos the only player I rate ahead of this duo is Obafemi Martins and age is not on his side.

forgiveness:
So, if he begins to bench Belotti and scores goals we should ignore, ba?

S. Umar is not ready for the SEs. Even if he score 30goals I'll pick Awoniyi ahead of him.

daveP:
Morocco 3 vs South Korea 1. These guys are serious o.

Morocco played WCQ match same day we played Zambia and here they are playing another friendly.
I hope the NFF are seeing this. Make dem organise friendly for November o.

cc. Sir Mujtahida

tbaba1234:
Balogun has never been fast. CBs do not have to be too fast.

He got too tight to his man and was turned. That is why centre backs give some gap so that they have a head start. He played fast guys against Cameroon and was fine.

In the second half, he adjusted and was better.

thank you. I was suprised that Sir Icon4s attributed aging to Balogun's lack of speed.

The truth is he has never had it. I took notice of this in his first match for SEs in a friendly against either scotland/usa prior to 2014 World where Keshi deployed him as a RB he couldn't match the opposing wingers for pace and kept leaving the defence open any time he ventures forward. I wasn't even happy at his inclusion before he picked up an injury that ruled him out of the final squad.

I saw a different player in him as a CB and he has been doing it well. I love his ball playing ability. His passes are even better than our midfield duo of Onazi n Ndidi.

What needs to be done is ensuring that one of our DMFs covers for him anytime he ventures forwards or better still get a good LB to complement him. Though Aina did well when introduced but I'm still not comfortable with him on the left.

Hmmm... Having read comments on who is better as a top 9 between Ighalo and K. Iheanacho.

I've come to pitch my tent with the pro Ighalos to continue spare heading our attack in a one man front man(4-5-1...) till we get a better 9 who has excellent finishing. Ighalo offers more than KI as a 9 in these area
1. Dribbling
2. Hold up play
3. Physicality
4. Build up play
5. Uses both feet
the above attributes portrays Ighalo as a team player which will be hard for any opponents to isolate him unlike KI who plays on the last man shoulder.

On the other hand, KI possesses.
1. Excellent finishing ability(he is clinical)
2. Great Passes
3. Positioning(he is a better space explorer)
4. Great Composure second to none in the Green White Green.

Having highlighted their abilities. KI will thrive more if played behind a striker or deployed as a false 9.

Icon4s:
No body has won a golden boot, golden ball or APOTY award amongst them. So beef nova start yet.

Hmmm... That's true and I think it due to the NATURE of MAN.

Kog45:
My man too much love in this present eagles and can't be compared to any of their predecessors.

thanks. Had to ask you babas wey don watch and follow the Super Eagles for donkey years.

daveP:
With a large banner they pass round and uniformity of chants. tell me any player who wont get goose bumps with this.

we will get there with the right people @ the helms. Don't forget eagles are just winning Nigerians heart back. Look at the numbers of threads been created on just a match now. Before it will take a Miracle for match thread involving the SEs to make front page.

Mujtahida:
I've maintained that Ighalo played well only he wasn't clinical cos he wanted to do it fancifully rather than keep it simple like Iwobi. One thing worries me though: we don't score from outside the 18yard box. All our goals have come from within the box. Our rate of converting free kicks is zero, from corners just one. We need to improve on all these.

you're 100% spot on! That is the reason I like the boy Iwobi. He keeps it SIMPLE. Look at how he made those passes look too easy. How I wish Ndidi and Onazi could have half of Iwobi's passing skill.

Mujtahida:
I look forward to the day that the whole stadium will be coloured in green white green like European teams do.

it come on us sooner than we expect if the team continues to impress. Did you see those flags..? Sincerely I was blown away. I was once again proud to be a Nigerian.

Early last yr, most ppl I meet at the viewing centers for Nigeria matches are the elders(mostly in their 50s and above). But I couldn't believe what I've been seeing of recently. Yesterday's own was more or less like a Champions league game. Come see how people come shout for goal as if se we won a major trophy. To my suprise I left people seated still watching the celebration.

All I did was SMILE.

Question time:
Has there ever been a time we had such unity we have today in the super eagles?

Over to the elders
Sirs Icon4s, Kog45, Enomakos etc

The Uyo fans deserve praise. I was happy with the turn out and more people are getting the jerseys by the day. Very soon we'll be having an all green and white stadium.

Mujtahida:
But they sometimes are too quiet. Although yesterday they loud.

truly our football is on the rise again. Recollecting that in those days it's only the drummer boys and their music groups will be putting on one glo jalamia.

Mickael2:
it can only be possible if our opponents will agree to come to Africa because FIFA rules does not support a team playing two games in two separate continents during one particular FIFA free window

yes, i have stated this in my earlier post and I suggested a top African side.
All I want is for us to maximise those free windows. I think our target should be nothing short of the quarter final.

Mujtahida:
How is it possible to squeeze in a WCQ match and a friendly into the November window? Unless I don't understand you.

the window is between 9-10days. You can play two matches within that period. Like in Europe all their qualifiers has always been double header in each windows. So it's possible only if it well plan. A friendly can be schedule two days after our qualifiers- don't forget the aim is to test other players. So different sets of players can prosecute these matches

daveP:
preferably chile, venuzuela.

if they will be willing to come to Africa.

I am of the opinion that, instead of calling new players in place of the regulars. We can as well expand/extend the call ups to 30 men. This will provide the technical crew time to compare and contrast the regulars with the new comers.

But as we all know, this can only be achieved if NFF will be ready to support financially-atleast 7more players shouldn't be a problem.

We have 1more WCQ in Nov. It will be good if NFF can organize a friendly match alongside. It will give Rohr the opportunity to examine new players/players who have been called before but haven't really play.

We are only left with one more international break this year and the next one won't come earlier than March next year. I think other Continents will be wrapping up their qualifiers this oct and most of them will have Nov break to spare for friendlies. A friendly against a top african side won't be bad.

Napoleon55:
but the build up to this goal against Zambia was awesome,
i decided to count how many passes they exchanged before the goal, lt was 15 good passes without the Zambians touching the ball.
this is the best team play i've seen the SE play leading to a goal,i don't know if i can remember any other like this in terms of team work,this is very good improvement.

that post was made in relation to an article from goal.

Nevertheless, 'm sure that our boys will do better with their passes on a better pitch.

Pirlo, football's last artist in an era of athletes

of a truth Football is loosing the entertainment part of the game. It lacks the beauty it possesses in defence, midfield and the flanks. It's now all about the activities done in the 18yard box. Me no kuku like all this pressing, intensity thing wey de don turn football into. Dem go just de run from start to finish-shutting out the no 10role...

FAREWELL ANDREA PIRLO, FOOTBALL'S LAST ARTIST IN AN ERA OF ATHLETES
Carlo Garganese
11:30
Goal
The playmaker announced that he will retire from football in December - he'll go down in history as an all-time great and one of the last of his kind
Italy have produced some magnificent midfielders over the years. Valentino and Sandro Mazzola, Gianni Rivera, Giancarlo Antognoni, Marco Tardelli, Rino Gattuso, Daniele De Rossi – the list goes on and on. But one player trumps all of these stars, the maestro that is Andrea Pirlo.
On Sunday, Pirlo announced that he will retire from football when his contract with New York City FC expires in December
.
Italy 18/1 to win World Cup
“You realise by yourself that the moment has arrived,” the 38-year-old told
Gazzetta dello Sport. “Every day you have physical problems. At my age, you have to say: enough. You can’t keep on until you are 50."
Since making his Serie A debut for hometown club Brescia at the age of just 16, Pirlo has wowed audiences all over the world.
Football is so tribal, especially in Italy, that it is very rare to find a world-class player who transcends club colours and national boundaries. Along with the likes of Javier Zanetti, Paolo Maldini and Gianluigi Buffon, Pirlo is adored by almost everyone.
He is adored because he is so unique. Instantly recognisable - with or without his flowing locks and trademark beard - to watch L'architetto (The Architecht) effortlessly glide around the pitch, moving the ball and his team-mates like a chess-master and curling home stylish free-kicks is pure beauty.
For purists of the game, Pirlo is everything that a footballer should be. He is slow, he is weak, he doesn’t head, tackle or sprint, but such is his genius from a technical and mental viewpoint that he is still untouchable.
It is for this reason that Pirlo is particularly worshipped in Brazil – the country where joga bonito was born. Many Brazilians yearn for a return to the days of 1970 and 1982 where free spirits like Rivelino, Tostao, Socrates and Zico revelled in their Bohemian surroundings. Pirlo is the representation of the untainted, carefree, risk-taking football Brazilians wish they still played.
"Andrea Pirlo is the most Brazilian player of all Europeans. He's the first player on the paper if I had to make a dream team,” said former Brazil coach Dunga, ironically one of the first figures to signal the Selecao’s shift towards athleticism.
Indeed, we now live in the age of the athlete. Rule changes, medical advancements, synthetic footballs and the subsequent tactical evolution and increased speed of the game have pushed most artists of Pirlo’s ilk out of the sport. He is more suited to the 1980s when the game was slower, more technical and effective total pressing was still years away.
"He's the epitome of class; a man who leads the team using all the weapons that some consider antiquated yet, for me, are irreplaceable: deception, the pause, the fake, precision," said ex-Argentina and Real Madrid star Jorge Valdano. "These are all the exact opposite of that word that is so fashionable today and such a disaster for the game: 'intensity'."
This intensity could have robbed us of Pirlo’s genius, too. As the No.10 position began to become obsolete, Pirlo struggled to nail down a place at Inter. Fortunately, first Brescia’s Carlo Mazzone and then Carlo Ancelotti at AC Milan had the foresight to move Pirlo back from his natural habitat into a deep-lying playmaker role. From there, he could express himself, dictating the tempo and executing his pin-point through passes.
Perhaps no one since Michel Platini has been so accurate and effective when it comes to the lofted chipped ball over the top of the defence. Perhaps no one at all has been as calm and unflustered in possession as the 116-cap international. No matter the quality of the opposition nor the size of the game - there was no such thing as pressure to Pirlo.
“I don’t feel pressure … I don’t give a toss about it. I spent the afternoon of Sunday 9 July, 2006 in Berlin sleeping and playing the PlayStation. In the evening, I went out and won the World Cup,” he famously remarked.
As a regista, Pirlo was the brains and beating heart of one of the Champions League’s best ever club midfields. Together with Gattuso, Clarence Seedorf and Kaka, Milan reached three Champions League finals, a semi-final and quarter-final in five years in the mid-noughties, winning two titles and throwing another two away.
His good cop-bad cop partnership in the middle of the park with the snarling Gattuso was vital as Italy ended a 24-year wait to finally lift a fourth World Cup in the summer of 2006. In Germany, Pirlo topped the charts for assists and man-of-the-match awards. He scored their first goal of the tournament against Ghana with a rasping drive and assisted Marco Materazzi’s equaliser in the final win over France, also scoring in the victorious shootout.
And just like any great player, he proved his doubters wrong when many wrote him off after Milan ended their 10-year love affair by releasing him in 2011. In his 33rd year, he enjoyed perhaps the best individual season of his career. He was the catalyst for new club Juventus, who had been in the doldrums since the Calciopoli crisis, inspiring them to the Scudetto without losing a game before starring at Euro 2012 – where he was unplayable in the knockout victories over England and Germany.
Article continues below
He was named Serie A Player of the Year, retaining the honour in the next two seasons as the Bianconeri built a dynasty. Juve are currently on a six-year Serie A-winning stretch. The only true disappointment during his stint in Turin was his final game for the club in 2015 as Juve suffered a 3-1 Champions League final defeat to Barcelona in Berlin. He was reduced to tears on the Olympiastadion pitch as he narrowly missed out on a historic treble.
His two-and-a-half years at New York City FC have also been mixed at best, scoring just one goal, but by the time he arrived in the United States it was clear he was winding down his career.
Indeed, he has created more than enough history during a glittering career. He has won almost every major title for club and country - six Scudetti, two Champions Leagues, a World Cup and European Under-21 Championship among 19 team honours. Some insiders believe he would have won the Ballon d’Or in 2012 had Italy not lost that year’s final of the European Championship – the one elite trophy to elude him.
His career is full of unforgettable moments that will still be played on highlight reels 50 years from now. From his Panenka penalty against England at those Euros to his reverse assist to Fabio Grosso six years earlier during the most dramatic ending to a World Cup semi-final in Dortmund. Then there was his sublime chipped ball for Roberto Baggio to famously round Edwin van der Sar in 2001, his free kick versus Real Madrid in 2009 and another stunning set piece against Mexico on the occasion of his 100th Italy cap.
“Pirlo is a genius. Together with Baggio, I think he’s the greatest talent that Italian football has produced in the last 25 years,” gushed Gianluigi Buffon.
"History will remember him as one of the best ever for sure. He has achieved everything," Pirlo's former team-mate Samuele Dalla Bona told Goal upon news of his retirement.
What is certain is that there will never be another player as unique as Pirlo. For not only is he Italy’s best ever midfielder and one of the all-time greats in his role – he is perhaps football’s last pure artist in an era of athletes.

Cc: Sir Mujtahida

I was about giving up and settling for a draw last evening. Considering the fact that our boys often take off their feet from the gas towards the end. But I was suprised by their share determination to round things up. They gave their all even after they've worn out and tired. I love the attitude I saw yesterday. Truly the team has evolved.

Years back/last generation of eagles player would have given up the chase and settle for a draw postponing their qualification thereby leaving the supporters with no other option than to pick up their calculators for Permutation and Combination exercise.

I only hope things get better and we keep progressing in this positive direction.

Just read how the team celebrated their victory with captain Mikel, I must confess the Man John Obi Mikel has really grown up evolving into a true leader. His humility is something else... The team bonding has improved since the time he took over. The boys now see themselves as brothers from one parent-NIGERIA. Seeing Musa participating was the height of it all.

Of a truth... This team has done well and have justified themselves by qualifying with a game to spare.

We did it in style. Conceding 3goals and scoring a whooping 10 in 4games. The so much criticised defence stood their ground against african top teams. I think they deserve some praises.

Danielnino00:
My people lemme not lie ehn... . It was a tension soaked game . I missed a large part of the first half cus it was raining and DSTV signal dy f**k up.. ;
Here's my thought on the game..

1) The Zambians were good. I must confess,they gave us a run for our money. speed everywhere. That goal they scored might not be an offside though (But I don't care ). If they keep it up,they might make it to Qatar 2022

2) I never knew that Iwobi had that much speed oo.. . . the way he ran at the ball after that Zambia corner gave me joy .. His goal was class!! his celebration was wow . To be honest he is a sure starter in the team.. he has more footballing brain that Simeon Moses

3) We were wasteful today.. We could have been 2-0 up by half time had we converted our chances.. If not for Onazi injury, Rohr would have brought in Nacho. we can't rely on Ighalo all the time.. he has shown that he is an unreliable striker..

4) Apart from Echijele, our back four are quite solid..Balogun and Ekong are the real deal,no argument . And that Shehu should get the hell outta Cyprus , I might be wrong tho,but he seem too good to play in that kinda league..

5) Aina got his chance, and he made good use of it . Too bad Moses couldn't convert his cross.. Moses was kinda selfish today though with some unnecessary dribbles. I hope Aina get his chance in hat role against Algeria

6) Mikel is the Igwe . .I used to be a proud member of the "Slowobi" crew but Mikel's recent performance in the team since Rohr took over has proved me wrong..Currently I don't see any player that can replace him in the SE team.. his leadership quality is another great motivation in the team.

7) I'd like to see this lineup vs Algeria next month..
Alampasu.. Aina ... Awazeim...Agbo...Ebuehi
Etebo.. Ogu...Agu
Onyekuru... Iheanacho... Iwobi

An invitation should be extended to Cyril Desser and Dennis Bonaventure..





I almost slipped on my way back from the viewing center today the ground was too slippery..



*Modified*

I think an invitation should be extended to Tiago Ilori too for the Algeria game...Otherwise Baba Ilori(forgiveness) might vex

oh Sorry. Hope you didn't pick up any injury sha.

E pele o!
