Ex-Arsenal youth coach Anyanwu wants to handle Nigerian U-13, U-15 teams

Seeks NFF’s engagement

Former Arsenal Grassroots Development coach based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Marcellinus Anyanwu, says he has the experience to bring out the best in Nigeria’s U-10, U-13 and U-15 players. He wants the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to give him the chance to prove his mettle.

Anyanwu, who once worked as an assistant coach to Nduka Ugbade at MFM FC of Lagos, declared yesterday that the experience he has garnered over the years working with youth academies of Arsenal, Feyenoord and Universal Sports Academy in Dubai would be more beneficial to Nigeria considering the talents begging to be discovered at every nook and cranny of the country.

He said: “I need a very short time to confirm a talented player, and I have a special approach to facilitate my plan for Nigeria. I want my country to benefit from my great programme, and I am confident the NFF will provide me a very solid and reliable platform to groom the younger players before moving into the senior level of football.”

Anyanwu hinted yesterday that he was on the verge of joining Benfica Football Academy in Dubai. “Negotiations are almost concluded but a prompt and positive response from the NFF could see me come back home to contribute my quota to Nigeria youth football development.”

Anyanwu had worked as a National Sports Festival team coach with his native Imo state, and MFM FC in Lagos before going abroad for further training a few years ago

NFF Orders Tests for All After One Staff Becomes Positive For Coronavirus

The management and officials of the Nigeria Football Federation will on Thursday, undergo Coronavirus tests at the Secretariat of the Federation, Sunday Dankaro House, National Stadium Complex in Abuja.

General Secretary of the Federation, Dr Mohammed Sanusi, stated this while addressing the management and staff on Wednesday.

He explained that this had become necessary after a member of the management tested positive for the virus.

He said,“Apart from him testing positive, I also had issues and had to go for tests when I was feeling ill and uncomfortable. But the truth is most of us have had contact with one another over the days, thus it is important we do the tests.

“I want to appreciate the Federal Government immensely for their efforts so far to contain the pandemic, and also officials of the Nigeria Centre for Disease and Control for agreeing to come to the NFF offices to conduct the tests.



"After the tests, the offices and the entire complex will be disinfected in line with the protocols of the COVID-19.



"During that time, offices would be closed and employees will work from home.



"When the results are out, those who tested negative will immediately resume work at the secretariat, while anyone who tests positive will be required to self-isolate for the period stipulated in the COVID-19 protocols put in place by the federal government".

hmmm. I hope it's a positive shock o. All our people With sources make una hint us na

It's not when the news drop they'll now be claiming "I've known this but decided not to share it"

The Premier League GW1

Pumped up

Somebody lost by 8 goals to 2 and you're disturbing him for shirt Not just anybody for that matter but the GOAT No be only a little bit upset

TheLoneCitizen:
Technique is up for debate.
I was surprised to notice that Salah is better with long-range shots than Mane.
How does Salah use his weaker foot better if Mane has more goals?
Since coming to Liverpool, only once has Salah had more Key Passes per minute than Mane.

Versatility? Mane has started 33% of either as striker or right winger compared with Salah's 18%.

At the bolded, Salah doesn't take a lot of shots from his Right foot but when he does he is more likely to score(23%) than Mane taking a shot with his left foot(17%)

Salah also has 221 key passes from his Weaker foot compared to Mane's combined 275 key passes from both his dominant right and weak left foot, this is bizarre stats

Versatility wise Salah has done way better as a CF with 25goals 9 assists in 29 matches compared with Manes 4 goals 0 assists in 4 matches

TheLoneCitizen:
I think Mane is all-round better than Salah, Salah gets the numbers but Mane is a better player.

Dribbling
Finishing with both feet
Long-range shots
Technique
Teamwork
Defensive contribution(this is dependent on the coach though)
Creativity
Strength
Tenacity
Versatility(can play anywhere across the attack)

Salah is better in movement and pace. Salah has played as a striker in most games.

I beg to differ but Salah is a better player than Mane- He has better attributes and considering his all round attributes he still comes tops.

Salah is a more technical player and he also takes more outside the box shots than mane and has also scored more from outside the box and he also uses his weaker foot better than Mane though the later has scored more goals from his weaker foot, Salah has more key passes from his weaker foot than mane has in both his dominant foot and his weaker foot. He also has better chances of scoring with his weaker foot.

Dribbling and Creativity they are on par imo and I cannot pick one over the other

In Versatility Salah trounces Mane

TheLoneCitizen:
Why the aggression, mate?

The guy stated that modern strikers like Chukwueze and Mane and Robben play to score not create.

And I countered that both modern and 'old school' wingers are expected to both score and create. I never compared

it's by all account that even Salah still has to improve to reach Mane's level.

At the bolded, I think you meant Mane still has to improve to reach Salah's level in your context

Rohr Applauds Osimhen’s Napoli Move (AUDIO)


Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has said Victor Osimhen made the right choice by joining Italian giants, Napoli.

The 21-year-old former Wolfsburg striker recently completed a reported record €81m move to Napoli from Lille on a 5-year deal subject to a further year.

Last season, Osimhen scored 18 goals in all competitions for Lille – including 13 in Ligue 1 – before football in France was aborted due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Rohr believes the timing for the move was good, especially with the former Golden Eaglets striker getting assurance of regular playing time from Napoli manager Gennaro Gattuso.

"The time was right because it’s an opportunity for him (Victor Osimhen) to go to a big club; to go to one of the best leagues in Europe and to make also a good contract,” the 67-year-old told TVC News.

“You know the career of a football player is very short, and they have to do all (they can) to have good contracts. Time is going so quickly.

“I am happy for him. We spoke about his transfer before. He had some other opportunities, but I think he made the right choice, because like I told him ‘if the coach wants to have you, then it is good to go there’. And he saw, indeed, Gattuso and they spoke about his chance to play. He will have the chance to play in the beginning and to show all his talents.

“If he stayed another year in Lille in France, it could also be good, but I think the moment is come for him to go to a higher level. It is a good transfer for him,” Rohr restated.

In a stellar debut season at Lille, Osimhen was named the club’s Player of the Season and also scooped the Marc Vivien Foe prize for the Best African Player in France.

The former Flying Eagles goal poacher has netted 4 times in 9 appearances for Nigeria at senior level.

He scored 10 goals – a competition record – as Nigeria won a 5th FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile, five years ago.

Danielnino00:
Why don't you check his social media pages?

Did you see the comments where people threatened to kill Ighalo?

I remember Ighalo turned off his comments after these threats started appearing in his posts which is what most people do because hate is expected when you mess up on the pitch so be ready to be at the receiving end of the stick off the pitch

Fans are joyless when their teams lose and the one player that did worse like missing an open net will be the scapegoat ask yakubu

forgiveness:
There's too much hate. Forget

Bros na normal football things be that

Danielnino00:
Moses can't be caged against Algeria?

Wasn't Moses part of the team that failed to qualify for the 2015 and 2017 AFCON?
Wasn't Moses caged at the two world cup he played for us?
Abeg talk better thing...

If Ighalo being highest goalscorer attention the AFCON I enough reason to recall him,then let's recall Emenike too..

There's no kind of experience Moses and Ighalo have that we can't get from our present set of players....

Mikel with all his experience was playing okoto meow in Afcon
If they don't want to be criticised they should stay retired. Players full ground like sand

forgiveness:
They are no fans but Ighalo country men and fans threatened his life.

Messi nko, Higuain nko
These guy's have suffered far worse criticism from argentines but still play for their national team. Messi was literally booed by his own fans in a competitive match

Emotions will always get the better of fans when they don't see results

IDENNAA:
And based on that we should take him to the next world cup to score 2 goals again, right ?

Swerve

IDENNAA:
I did and it was one of our worst outing....gbafuo.

I hope you arent mistaking the last world cup in Russia with the one in Brazil.

Only Musa scored open play goals in Russia 2018 for Nigeria and he scored 2 of our 3 goals

forgiveness:
So, threatening someone's life na part of football? Okay na.

Na money turn the switch.

Lmao ISIS literally threatened Messi and Ronaldo but they still played in the world cup
Though I'm not saying these threats are a norm but they do happen and all professional players should know this

IDENNAA:
Musa was ineffectual at the last world cup....next

Then I guess you didn't follow the world cup...swerve

forgiveness:
Bros, we know why they retired na. They were criticized unnecessarily.

Musa don they expire for my eyes except he moves to a better league.

Chai how many times we wan get this argument for this thread, Being criticised unnecessarily is part of the game and Ighalo/Victor Moses are far from being above criticism by fans. If that's the reason they retired they should stay that way

As for Musa, I'm only in support of his inclusion in our squad because of his experience in the world stage that cannot be overstated. I don't know the switch that turns on in his head during the World cup

forgiveness:
Victor Moses, Ighalo, Iheancho, Balogun etc.

Though Iheancho is not old.

Ighalo, Moses were not discarded though, they retired and Balogun was struggling with fitness and his lack of game time

I think we are as balanced as we can possibly be now with Musa, Ekong, Omeruo and Balogun still with the squad and knowing that Ekong and Omeruo are starters

forgiveness:
Experience is also very important in football. We should mix our team with experience and talent.

Experience players like?

Ekong, Musa and Omeruo are experienced enough

Leipzig think they are Bayern or what

I'm not gonna lie there's an improvement in Lagos, I now get around 13hours stable electricity

Though in Benin it's 24/7 Electricity and with your prepaid meter life is bearable
