Rangers’ Aribo needs time to adjust to African football – Super Eagles legend Taribo West


Despite top-notch performances from the 23-year-old for the West Africans, the ex-international feels the midfielder has not done enough.

Former Nigeria international Taribo West believes Rangers star Joe Aribo needs time to adjust to the playing style of African football.

The 23-year-old made an impressive start to his Super Eagles career when he scored on his debut against Ukraine in September 2019. 

He followed that up with another impressive performance a month later in another friendly against Brazil, helping Gernot Rohr’s men clinch a 1-1 draw against the five-time world champions.

Aribo has now made four appearances for the three-time African champions and has been praised for his immediate impact with the national team by fans and former internationals.

West, however, feels the midfielder has not done enough and believes Getafe’s midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo, who is currently on loan from Stoke City to reignite his career, will perform better than him.

"I've watched Joe Aribo play for Nigeria, but in my view, it's clear he is yet to come to terms with it,” Taribo was quoted as saying by the Scottish Sun.

"There's no other way of putting this - I think Joe is not a bad player, but he needs time to adjust to African football.

"It's not the same as playing in Europe. In Africa, there's no time on the ball and for me, Oghenekaro Etebo is a far better option, He's quick, physical and reads the game.

"He should get Joe Aribo's spot when he comes back. African football is just too physical for Joe."

Besides his scintillating displays for the Super Eagles, Aribo has been delivering fine performances for Rangers under Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.

The midfielder, who joined the Ibrox Stadium outfit last summer, was a key member of the Gers in the recently-concluded campaign, scoring eight goals and providing eight assists in 45 appearances.

Taribo retired from international duty in 2005, thus, ending his 11-year career with the Super Eagles and enjoyed success during his time.

He was part of Nigeria’s gold-medal winning team at the 1996 Olympics and also helped the Super Eagles finish as runners-up in the 2000 Africa Cup of Nations.

The centre-back, who had 42 caps for the three-time African champions, played in the 1998 World Cup in France as well as the 2002 edition.

Taribo, now a pastor, also starred for InterMilan, AC Milan, Auxerre and Plymouth Argyle among others before he quit professional football in 2008.

All these ex international don start again, e come still be pastor join.
Someone should please help me ask Taribo which Aribo he is talking about, when Etebo started having vision and which Aribo hasn't done well for the SE?

Automatically he's 16...if u knw u knw

I think 16 is too much, else he might miss the next u17. He should go with 15 instead. Removing just 5 from one's age when it concerns football isn't much.

charlesemeka85:
the attack minded players we can boast of are from the flanks. for tiki taka to be implemented perfectly we need ball playing centre backs and dm midfielder with a highly skilled and technical CAMs which will bring out the desired output of our attackers

in our defense line the 2 decent ball players are aina and ajayi which is the reason i clamor for the inclusion of adarabioyo in the team. ndidi is best at what he does best which is breaking attacks and covering grounds, etebo is not technically sound and skilled. the likes of aribo,ejaria and iwobi are not yet in the class to master and perfect system well

Oga, it's non skillful players that can't play attacking football but gets their jobs on the pitch done, e.g Dele Alli.
Ejeria, Eze, Iwobi, Aribo can all play attacking football. And who said attacking football means tiki taka? Does Liverpool plays tiki taka?

charlesemeka85:
and you are comparing pep's barca to the super eagles okwa ya? continue

It's a comparison on how a style of play best suit us and not players comparison.
Presently the SE has more attack minded and good goalscorers than defenders, so playing defensive games right now won't benefit us because our defense isn't strong enough to absorb the pressures that will come from top class strickers (we must concede).
But if we go attacking, there is no defence in the world currently that our fast, skillful and aggressive attackers can't break.
And who says we can't do mass attack and mass defence? Don't forget our 2 u17 that recently won fifa U17 world cups both played attacking games.

The best way to defend is to attack.

What is genuine talent and what is fake talent please ❓ Talent is simply potential to be developed and released.

There are many players with talent but developing that talent technically with football intelligence becomes another thing

There are boys in the top academies of the EPL at age 9/10 you will be very surprised at the level of technical coaching. It gives these boys excellent first touch and awareness.

Do you know that most Nigerian players have a huge learning curve to overcome. A learning curve that talent alone will not enable you overcome. But discipline, diligence, aptitude and pray for patient coaches. Because the one thing you don't have is a lot of time.

Modern football is not just dribbling and doing skills it's gone far beyond that now.

A big club can expose the gaps in your attributes and capacity that raw talent has covered in lower clubs and leagues for many years.

Fake talent is what 99% of English players, unlike Brazilians, Germans, Spanish, Italians, Argentines, even Portuguese

Raheem was bought by Liverpool for near £2million are age 14 from QPR.

He was already leading the attack at Liverpool as an 18 year old before he went to City. He has as always progressed and he progressed under Guardiola.

Many a player get to big clubs and can't progress. To believe that at a time Jordan Ibe was competing with Raheem.

Now Ibe is a mere shadow of past glories albeit a very well paid one.

That proposition with regards to Chukwueze and Ejuke is optimistic speculation.

These are 2 players with genuine talent and with a good coach in a big club, their talents will explode, just like Ferguson did with Ronaldo.
And for Ibe case, he was good at that moment but not talented, he was playing the normal British style of wingers, e.g write Phillip, lenon, etc, so I am not surprise that he retrogress...and it's same thing that's happening to Dele Alli right now.

If Chukwueze and Ejuke goes to a big club with good coaches and they fail to explode, then it would simply be because they refuse to work harder and not because they aren't super talented because in today's football, just talent is no longer enough

this kid is a baller

He is a bad dribbler, he did well with the dribbling, but after beating him and making that run, he should have come up with a killer pass instead of waiting for the guy to return and trying to dribble pass him again

Hector Cuper Disappointed By Decision To Extend Rohr’s Contract As He Was Hoping To Succeed Him – Assistant Reveals

Former Valencia and coach of the national team of Egypt Hector Cuper was hoping to succeed the coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr if his contract extension with the Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF) had not gone according to plan.
Cuper according to his Egyptian assistant Mahmoud Ahmed was interested in the Super Eagles job and that of the national team of Ghana as he was still keen on working in Africa after his spell with Egypt.
The Argentine was however frustrated when the NFF agreed to a new deal with Rohr despite the fact that he was offered a pay cut beside other conditions that were not contained in his first deal. That move according to Mahmoud frustrated the coach as well as the decision of Ghana to award the job to an indigenous coach.
“Mr Cuper is ever ready to work in Africa with Nigeria and Ghana as countries of preference because of its abundant talents,” Mahmoud said as reported by Premium Times.
DONT MISS ==> ZAKARI: OSIMHEN AND ZILKI PLAYED A ROLE IN HELPING ME DECIDE TO JOIN SFAXIEN
“We had hoped to land Ghana job but GFA decided to close its door on foreign coaches and settled for Charles Akunor. Our attention was shifted to Nigeria and we felt salary problem between Rohr and Nigeria might be a problem.
“But its looks impossible now that Nigeria have decided to extend Rohr’s contract,” Mahmoud concluded.[b]

Cuper has done well for himself in his coaching career but 2 things that I found out about him.
1. He doesn't stay long in a job, either club or country...the highest he has stayed was 3 years or so.
2. He doesn't win finals. He has gotten to more than 10 finals in his career and never won any.

He is the same coach that took Valencia to 2 champions league finals, losing to both Madrid and Bayern, both on penalties. (Bad luck. What's with Argentina/Argentinean with badluck).
He is the coach that also took Egypt to the Afcon final, losing to Cameroon(always losing finals)

charlesemeka85:
Nigerians re obsessed with attacking football even if we dey play against Germany, Brazil or netherland of this world. Mostly pple wey dey cry for the team to play that way na lay men in the game like me who knows nada about football tactics

The same attacking brand siasia deployed in the 23 teams and super eagles where his team will score 6 and concede 5 in a game

Guardiola was playing attacking football at Barca and he was conceeding less than those playing DF.
Guardiola and Klop both plays AF at Man City and Liverpool and they both concede lesser goals compares to other English teams that plays DF.
Playing AF doesn't equates to conceding more if your tactics is good.

Play attacking football and keep the ball, your opponent won't even see the ball not to talk of scoring you

exactly and also have Better man management
the only problem is his 4 -1-4-1 and 4-4-2 formation which might fail in Nigeria moreover too NFF has lined up hector cuper(Argentina coach ) for rohr replacement for what am seeing rohr staying is not visible
NFF is insisting on a better coach

I am the number lover of Rohr but I think right now we need a more attacking minded coach because we are blessed with good, skillful and pacey attackers presently. Except Rohr would change from his 2 DMs to 1 DM with more attack minded tactics, mostly when playing lesser or teams on same level with the SE

Subzero047:
Kane has had repeated ankle injuries and Mourinho can comfortably play a 2 man striker

This is Kane injury history

Let's just reach a conclusion.
Mourinho will bench Kane for Osimhen.
I am done here

Tolulopefinest:
If Osimhen should move to Totheham with Mouriho as the Coach, due to Osimhen agrresive nature, he would be turned to a defensive midfielder.

He even first they look for who he go use replace Ndobele for DM

Ihenzy:
Kane in the number 10 position?

Nor mind am, he just they talk like mumu

Subzero047:
He can play a two man striker, he can play Kane in no 10 position besides Kane is injury prone

Oga na because of Osimhen you they come up with this Kane analogy so?
How is Kane injury prone? Apart from his current injury that has sidelined him for months, when was he ever injured?
Just say make Mourinho bench Kane for Osimhen so that make I know say you don't really craze

Subzero047:
Mourinho would make a way for Osimhen to play

A way as in how? You mean sell Kane just to bring in Osimhen or better still move Osimhen to the wing? And that's the end of his career...same way he changed Mikel position and killed his career

TheLoneCitizen:
Actually bro, Onyekuru is our best winger currently.

Base on stats or what?

Subzero047:
Luis Campos (Lille's sporting director) to join Mourinho at Tottenham

Maybe he will take Osimhen with him, Tottenham is really my first choice for Osimhen

When there is still Kane? Or you think Mourinho will switch to 2 attackers because of Osimhen?

Ramos is my idol' - Leixoes SC’s Aneni on Real Madrid great


The Portugal-based Nigerian teenager has described the four-time Champions League winner as his role model while hoping to emulate him someday

Leixoes SC and Nigeria U20 starlet Evans Aneni has named Sergio Ramos as his idol, while hoping to emulate the Spanish football icon.

The 19-year-old has been tipped to become one of the world’s sought-after centre-backs in future owing to his defensive skills.

Aneni, having risen through the ranks at his Portuguese outfit and has been a key figure in the Sea Heroes’ U23 squad.

Before football was put on a hiatus owing to the coronavirus pandemic, the Nigeria youth international featured in every game for Leixoes – putting up several man-of-the-match showings.

In a chat with Goal, the teenager says he has always looked up to the Real Madrid captain as a source of inspiration.


“Since I began playing football, I have always looked to just one person for inspiration and he is Sergio Ramos,” Aneni told Goal.


“He is one of my favourite players in my position and his never-say-die attitude and charisma on the field of play are what thrill me as I continue to develop as a footballer.


“In addition, you have to be very intelligent as a striker for you to beat him. At my leisure time, I watch his video and learn one or two things from him.


“Although, I have other defenders who I learn from but Ramos is my idol and one day I hope to be like him.”


He was part of Paul Aigbogun’s Nigeria U20 team for the 2019 U20 Fifa World Cup, but, he failed to make the cut owing to a late fitness issue.


With several top European teams gunning for his signature, he claims he is not in a rush for a move while stating it would be a dream playing for Premier League outfit Chelsea in future.


“I am still developing here and I am not in a rush to move. When the time is ripe, I definitely settle for less,” he continued.


“I have been supporting Chelsea as a kid and someday, I hope to play for them because they are one of my favourites.


“Well, I can’t wait for that to happen because playing for them will be a dream come true for me.”


Aneni is expected to form the fulcrum of the new Nigeria U20 squad hoping to qualify for the 2021 U20 Africa Cup of Nations billed for Mauritania, which serves as qualifiers for the U20 World Cup in Indonesia.

I will be watching your back boy.
