Bundesliga side, SC Freiburg have promoted three Naija talents in their ranks from the U-19 team to their Second team ahead of the 2020-2021 season.

Noah Atubolu (18) - Goalkeeper.
Kimberly Ezekwem (18) - Defender.
Kevin Schade (18) - Forward.

@scfreiburg U19 ➡ @scfreiburg II (Season 2020-21)

That's my boy there, Atubolu from Akwaeze Anaocha. Quality goalkeeper and captain of Freiburg U19. Though he has been capped by Germany at the youth levels, I was chatting with the elder sis Kathlin not long ago and she had some interesting things to say about Noah and his Nigerianness via Igbo-Amaka.

TheSuperNerd:
You all recall this post by Tbaba1234? Well here is your confirmation.

Lad was announced as a Lille player officially several hours ago (on July 2) by Lille's official account.

The name is Usman Mamadou Simbakoli. And he is 19.

When next are we assembling another U20s? This boy and Ugochukwu need to be fast tracked into our youth system asap.

Neither of the two have been capped by France at any level. While Ugo is keen on a chance with Nigeria, I can't say same for Usman though, but there is no how he would opt for CAR ahead of Nigeria

TheGoodJoe:
Why is he right? Are you telling me you do not need high fitness to play for PSV? Or Benfica? These are teams that have played high tactical games for decades. What about Athletic Bilbao? What about Monaco?

Villareal under Pellegrini. Van Gaal's Ajax. Monaco under Wenger. Dortmund under Sammer. Bayer Leverkusen in the time of Basturk, Ballack, Ze Roberto and Lucio. These are ages ago.

What about Hector Cuper's Valencia, Benitez Valencia, Irureta's La Corona?

There was a time most teams in England did not align to the modern game, while in Spain, for a long time, almost, if not all teams did. In the Holland, a lot did.

So it is not about the EPL but the modern game which requires all players to put in lots of work. High fitness is a big part of it.

Attacking me will not give your point credence.

Read my post again, I was posting in your favour. I said you gave a verdict without unnecessary bias and prejudice like a true analyst, unlike Komekn whose verdicts are always influenced by fanaticism

Komekn this right here is how a true analyst talks, unlike you(komekn) who is just a fanatic, a garrulous one at that, u ain't an analyst

jihday:
they already have Ziyech and Werner maybe that'll buy a dominant midfielder too and not this mason mount and Barkley

Suggest one you think they can acquire

A look at Ugochukwu's Instagram account.

Dude knows where he's from

jihday:
I agree sha, when Chelsea surround him with better players maybe it will improve his game

Better players like?

TheGoodJoe:
Must you add in the EPL? It takes lots of physical fitness to meet up with the modern game. Ajax will run riot with lots of EPL clubs.

Nice point but leave out the EPL.

Komekn this right here is how a true analyst talks, unlike you(komekn) who is just a fanatic, a garrulous one at that, u ain't an analyst.

Huesca climb to 3rd. Zaragoza 2nd with a match in hand.
Cc Chriskels

Of the 3 at the top, Huesca has had the best results since resumption, while Cadiz has been the worst. I hope it continues this way, both Zara and Huesca might just nick the two automatic qualification spots.

Danielnino00:
The table that was posted before was a live update..
They had 58 points before kick off.. at the time the table was posted, they were drawing...

Oh alright

TheGoodJoe:
If A player is not technically gifted enough, he can be pardoned. If he is not tactically gifted enough, he can be pardoned. However, lack of intense workout to maintain optimum fitness is inexcusable.

Foden's level of fitness can be seen in his jawline and cheeks. The young man is working hard to make the cut.

I hope our players take their fitness seriously.

This boy blew me away today.

I wonder why the noise on Maddison, Mount et al, when England has Foden

Joebie:
Huesca climb to 3rd. Zaragoza 2nd with a match in hand.
Cc Chriskels

I thought they were on 59points before the match? They won again today, hence, their point ought to be 62 nah.

That said, they are provisionally second, not third

benji93:
He looks older than the boys in the background, at least the one whose face is shown. He looks 13/14 in this.
There's no way of verifying this though. I don't think there's much we can dig up. We'll just have to accept that he's 16.

That's Rennes 2017 jersey, so that is what the kid looked like 3years ago

Joebie:
James Igbekeme's Real Zaragoza would go top of the table tomorrow if they win away to Girona.

Huesca will knock off Almeria for 3rd place if they beat Las Palmas today.
As it stands at Estadio El Alcoraz,, this is how the top 7 looks.

If Huesca wins today, they temporarily jump to second place, hoping that Zaragoza and Almeria lose for them to consolidate the position also.

benji93:
19, football age.
Modified: 16. .
But according to transfer market, he was born in France, how could this have been?
It looks like it's possible to falsify birthdate information in France.

Same boy

andrewbaba44:

Did you see "I think" from that post you quoted, or you don't understand the function?

The Full Comments of Rohr on Osimhen- Translated from Italian

Interviewed by the editorial staff of Punto Nuovo Sport Show, broadcast on Radio Punto Nuovo, Gernot Rohr, Nigeria's technical adviser/Head Coach, made the following statements about Osimhen




“The characteristics of Victor Osimhen? Of course, we are talking about a scorer, a player of power and speed. He is a fighter, he never accepts defeat, he always wants to win, even in training matches.


[b]During the last African Cup, he didn't play very much, he had a very important player for Nigeria like Ighalo in front of him. When, however, Ighalo was forced to stop for an injury, Osimhen had his chance. In the period, however, where he was called to elbow with his teammate for the role of single point, Victor fought all week, training hard, but without ever giving problems to me or teammates if he remained on the bench.


Victor has a great player mentality. And often, in our chats, I advised him to take an important step and go to a level club, where he can find the right space to play continuously and grow. He is a guy who loves to work hard and who needs to be in constant competition. I hope Victor talks about it with Gattuso and can then find the right role within the Naples project.
Victor, the Drogba of the future? I don't know, it's an important comparison, but I don't rule it out.
He has everything he needs to become a player of that level.
Victor is someone who always wants to grow and improve, technically and tactically. Then he is a smart boy, intelligent and I repeat: he has everything it takes to get to the level of Didier Drogba.
Racism issues? I know there are in Italy, but as there are also in other countries. When he hits there too, all the fans will cheer him up and be happy with Victor. The Italian championship is a championship that I follow, there are some of our players at Udinese, there is Ola Aina at Turin and there are also other players in Serie B.
Serie A is a prestigious championship. I think Napoli will reveal itself a great chance for Victor and Victor will prove to be a great player for Napoli, if the deal obviously goes through."[/b]

But some people in here said Osimhen and Onyekuru were benched at the Afcon due to their attitude.

Btw, so Rohr knew all these traits of Osimhen, yet he kept playing Onauchu ahead of him, and he also kept playing Ighalo even when Ighalo was exhibiting his anywhere-belle-face style?

Very rigid archaic coach, so allergic to innovation

JayromWrites:
Aneke will come good though


He is a generational talent

If not for the injuries, he should walk into any top teams in Europe

Calm down!!! He still has it

God where are these people coming from

JayromWrites:
Tega should leave Chelshit

He is bigger than that London club

He should be playing for Madrid or Barcelona.. He has earned it.


Don't mind his form after the Covid, he is saving it for Bayern

Hello Komekn, is that you?

andrewbaba44:
You go say you forget dembele abi ? After you go claim barca fan

Well CHO is a scam and we can all see pulisic has send him to the bench where he belongs

Coman was always got for the cheap sha ,which club no go wan purchase a 19 year old potential player on a cheap playing for a big team ?

Free transfer to Juve and a 21 million transfer to Bayern as the options was activated ,he was unproven and went to prove himself at Bayern during the loan before they activated the option ,Bayern Munich them self na fraudsters

Make Villarreal put Chuks for sell on a cheap make you see as many teams go rush am

My dear oo, Dembele sef na the worse

andrewbaba44:
Do you even have right to insult him or criticize him for what he thinks about Chuks ?

His opinion ,same dude was saying he want the guy to join Liverpool and play under klopp

Same you have always been saying nonsense about Ighalo when it’s clear that the dude is doing well

Just because you don’t like Ighalo doesn’t mean you should be acting like a blind man and always being sentimental but you won’t accept what someone said about your favorite player

Yeye Dey smell ,pot Dey call kettle black

Lol see emotions, bros do you know what a synthetic a priori or reasoning means?

What is all this balderdash you wrote there for? Boy u dey funny oo

TheGoodJoe:
That is a very big lie. I know lots of devoted government workers and ngo workers who have devoted their times to transform lives. They are not corrupt or support evil. You can not equate them to a CEO who clearly says he does not care if babies are pounded unless the money fills his pocket. That is evil and very dark. No way to coat it.

If you must transform lives, eschew an institution that kills lives. It is hypocritical to claim to be a life transformer while you are under the pay roll of an institution that takes lives. Like they say, you can not eat your cake and have it

Are the babies pounded under the directives of the CEO, or is the pounding done by the CEO's firm?

Bros how you made your money isn't non of my business, as long as you my customer, all I care about are my commodities and how to sell them.

TheGoodJoe:
How does being a devoted, hard working staff makes you a supporter of crime?

The point is claiming you do not care even if you know. No matter how you try to paint it, it is dark.

There are things you can not prevent in the cycle of life. One is criminals patronising businesses. That does not stop us from caring about those suffering due to the ills criminals.

Working under a corrupt institution, no matter how devoted you may claim to be, makes you a supporter of crime.

Do people go about with badges written "I am a criminal, a murderer or a ritualist"? How are you gonna know? And why would you wanna know your customer's source of income before doing business with him?

Like I said earlier, how you made your money or ur personal life is non of my business

Blueelf:
Why is Osimhen being courted by Napoli et al?

What of dessers?

Are their stats not a bit enticing?

What's the primary assignment of a striker nah? Lol bro, plz don't let semid4lyf come back here again, I take God beg u

TheGoodJoe:
There is a difference between setting up a business and being a crime supporter.

If stopping people from doing crimes means me closing my businesses to them, I will gladly do it.

Lol you never ready my man. Bros abeg are u a government worker? When are you resigning? There is no crime bigger than the government itself.

Also, are you a business man? I hope you ask your customers how they got their monies before doing business with them.

Dis guy u funny oo

Blueelf:


If his scoring doesn't mean anything, then you're okay with him continuing to draw blanks for 10 games straight right?? So far his shots on target and passes is above 80%, he can continue to draw blanks right?

The primary thing while scouting is how you effect play. Does your style win games? Wingers are not rated for their goal scoring abilities but their ability to create chances and change the dynamics of games.

Dude I shouldn't be teaching you these elementary things nah

Blueelf:
See bros, Numbers are the major factor that determine whether a club sends scouts

See, don't get me wrong. CHuks has potential and is a hot , young baller but his numbers are poor and that is his undoing

What was CHO's numbers like when Bayern wanted to break the bank for him? What was Daniel James' when United bought him?

Can you tell me Kingsley Coman's before he joined Juve, later Bayern?

Blueelf:
Do you think they will send scouts if the players numbers don't entice?

Sending scouts to watch a player cost money too

Oh you think scouts are sent just Bkus of numbers?
