TheSuperNerd:
Adriano scored vs Argentina in the 2004 Copa final. It was 2-2 before Brazil went on to win 4-2 on penalties.

Adriano scored the late equaliser for Brazil. Check from 12.58 although I don't think this is the particular goal you refer to

He was top scorer of that Copa 2004 with 7 goals.

The 3-0 final was in 2007. Adriano didn't score because he didn't play.

yea u re right

TheSuperNerd:
His shot power was so world renowned that even in video games, once you use Inter with Adriano, you are sure of a wonder goal. His shot power and accuracy was insane.

Leite Adriano was the ballon dor striker that never won a balloon dor and never got to fulfill all his potentials due to depression.

Depression na bastard.

that time na him and martins I Dey play upfront if I choose to play with Inter for PES

Martins na because of his pace and then “Adio” as we do call him them for his shot power, stamina and pace


There is this goal he scored against Argentina in a Copa America finals. I think they won that match 3nil

The control and shot from outside 18 yard box was mind blowing

Mk I see if I go fit see am for YouTube

chrisooblog:
Like Charles said Adriano shot be like nuclear strike.

Plus Adriano had decent pace too.

Boniface may be fancier when compared to the Brazilian but the Adriano na confirm one man squad

In his prime no defender fit stop him, then self when we had rugged CBs in serie A and European top leagues

Adriano no need near post ooo, once the ball set well for his favourite foot him don hammer and na straight inside post. Also him get strength and stamina die the reason I called him a tank in my previous posts

chrisooblog:
Adriano! one of footballs great what ifs. You're spot on when you say he was very similar to R9. Pity depression took its toll on a very promising career.

I think Boniface is too unique in his skill set to pigeonhole that he is a this or that. If Boni had Osimhen mad focus and ginger it would have been all over for the football world.

Depression caused by his dad’s death ruined the guy

Adriano was a force of nature and A tank waiting to strike at any given space

mrwilliams9:
I am not saying Boniface is of Adriano’s level at his prime. No.

I’m saying Boniface has many of the same characteristics of Adriano and if he, Boniface keeps developing, he’ll be similar to a prime Adriano.

talk am reach next week I no gree

Boniface is more like a Zirkzee kinda player ie CFs that are skillful, can play any where upfront as well as drop deep to create opportunities for his team mates

He isn’t forceful and bullish like Adriano. Adriano was a menace to defenders during his prime

Also the Brazilian had more pace

mrwilliams9:
Disagree. Both had great size and skill on the ball. If Boniface gets more clinical, they’ll be more similar.

oga they re not similar in any way

I doubt you watch Adriano during his Inter days bobo was something else

elyte89:
Boniface is no where near andriano …he doesn’t even have d power shot Adriano is known for..I will liken boniface to ibrahimovic(play wise)

my brother the thing even shock me

I wonder if he truly know who Adriano is and how good he was during his prime

Adriano was a tank with bazooka for em left foot

mrwilliams9:
Yessoo, Adriano had pace, skill and a powerful shot. He just couldn’t keep fit and his father’s passing mentally hurt him badly.

bros they are not similar in any way

Adriano was too complete. In his prime he was the closest thing to R9. Bobo was unplayable with shooting power that can be compared to that of few

No disrespect to Boniface but no try compare him to Adriano unless u no watch the Brazilian during his prime

mrwilliams9:
If he can stay fit and improve his finishing this season, he’ll get a big move in summer. He’s like a more skillful Adriano.

I still think he’s best as a support striker than an out and out no 9.

boniface like Adriano 😳

Hmmmmm

Mujtahida:
Machine football which is cold and efficient. Like video game but no flair, no individuality, no spirit, no soul, no razzmatazz, no beauty, no creativity, no spark. Just drab and endless kick about of the ball.

Kick about no be small 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

#soarsupereagles

Gift Orban was part of Lyon training Friday morning after a proposed transfer to Turkish giants Trabzonspor fell through.

The transfer collapsed Thursday morning, according to rmcsport

It is understood Trabzonspor could not meet up the 12 Million Euros asking price of Lyon.

TheSuperNerd:
I will take the opinion of the house.

Should TheSuperNerd stay retired on the Nwakali discourse or should he come out of retirement?

Like for Yes, stay retired.

Share for No, unretire.

You are right , what you see now is the (CM) role in fooall! the traditional role of the CM as a game controller, dictating the pace and flow of the game, has evolved. Modern football has become more dynamic, with CMs now often required to be more versatile, defensive-minded, and athletic.

The days of the traditional "regista" or deep-lying playmaker, like Andrea Pirlo or Xavi, are indeed fading. Now, CMs are often expected to:

⁠Break up opposition attacks
⁠Win the ball back quickly
Distribute it simply to maintain possession
⁠ ⁠Support both defense and attack

While this shift has made the game more intense and physically demanding, it's true that the CM role might not be as creatively focused as it once was. However, there are still some exceptional CMs who can control the game's tempo and dictate the flow, like Kevin De Bruyne or Luka Modrić.


another Kante will come maybe in another 5 years ...

and you will see redundant coaches like Siasia saying that the super eagles lack a creative AM

Role wey don fade off na wey him still Dey talk about 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mujtahida:
We can only consider Ghana. We need to help them. They are now on the level of Chad, Panama and Djibouti 😂😂.

Dlaw na just advice i give your client ooo

Mk em no lose kpata kpata, atleast mk him secure the Tonga job first then if em do well countries like Samoa, Pakistan, Indonesia,Sri Lanka or even our African brothers Eritrea fit come for am 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

According to Voetbalkrant.com, Club Brugge refused to approve for Onyedika to switch to Turkey because then they would be forced to get a worthy replacement for the defensive midfielder.



Such a replacement will certainly not come cheap, but most importantly the transfer window in Belgium is closed and so they cannot do so.

Also, the registration for the UEFA Champions League closed last Wednesday.

So the earliest the Super Eagles midfielder could be allowed to move will be January, when the transfer window re-opens.

@Charlesemeka ... there are some things you rather not say in public ... not because they are bad . but just not to bridge peace and harmony ...i dont know where that guy came from .

true talk 🤣🤣🤣🤣

minfelix:
i think he also gave Mikel his first senior team call up in 2005 and scored his first afcon goal against Zimbabwe in the group stage under AE

and took him to 2003 u17 World Cup
