Ex-PSG Super Kid Ogbeche To Rohr: I Want To Play For Nigeria At 2018 World Cup



Willem II striker Bartholomew Ogbeche is hoping his form in the Dutch Eredivisie will earn him a recall to the Super Eagles for the 2018 World Cup.
The former Paris Saint-Germain wonderkid was one of the youngest players in Nigeria's squadlist at the 2002 World Cup, and featured in group matches against Argentina and Sweden.

''I do not expect anything, I stay calm and keep my feet on the ground, I just have to work hard, and if there is an invitation I would be very happy,'' Ogbeche told FOX Sports.
''I still hope for Nigeria to call me. That's not a secret, I'm a professional footballer and that's still a dream.
''It would be great, but if it does not come, I'm not disappointed, then I just keep focusing on Willem II and I try to continue to help.
''We have to believe in our chance at the World Cup, I hope to be there.''
Back home in Nigeria, everyone is paying attention to Bartholomew Ogbeche with the striker scoring 7 goals in his last four matches, including a hat-trick against VVV Venlo two weeks ago.

Its every time dis one will b hitting form when d world cup is near...once beating twice shy,if u like score pass messi,do scissors kick pass zangalo,no world cup party



But what if he's d real deal here?

ChrisKels:
U r reputed for throwing subtle jibes here and there, getting over urself thinking u r funny. It ain't funny no more bro. U hardly contribute anything meaningful here, all u do is wait for any lil chance to ridicule a post.

Did he ask a lame question? Do u know who pays Pionetti? And now Gine? Stop being silly here.

Ogbeni,I no quote u,even d person o quoted didn't rant d way u re doing, y re u crying more Dan d bereaved?


I av said it several times we can't b same,if u not OK with my post,ignore it,SIMPLE

Humility017:
a good one...
but who will pay him please...?

NPOWER SHOULD PAY HIM

tbaba1234:
I think Poland is more for Croatia not Iceland. Lewandowski will give us an idea of what to expect from Mandukic.

,ARE WE PLAYING FIFA18(PS)@ d worldcup

Read somewhere dt we would b playing d Polish national team on March 23rd, who can confirm dt?

soetanoreoluwa:
Who Rohr no like? Believing in you doesn't mean I like you... What can you say of Victor osimen

If victor starts playing by January,maybe on loan to anoda club, I can bet u he will b on d plane to Russia... 100percent sure

Ahhhhh......NKAN BEE..

Humility017:
I remember keshi dropped him for G rubben and many of his players...prior the world cup in 2014...he was in the provusonal list...

I pray he stay fit...I will want him over etebo...

Am still saying it,instead of dropping etebo for Joel,I would rada substitute a slot to accommodate d two

Or better still,ogu won't go ,


Etebo on his gud day, its better Dan any midfielder asyde Mikel(DT Algeria home match is an example,so versatile



BTW,AGU STILL dey too na,d guy fit go,cos rohr like d guy.

OMANBALA1:
Anybody familiar with Victor Moses knows he is very selfish and by this I mean holding the ball for too long and wanting to dribble everybody ,score himself and become the hero. I cant direct you to a particular game but he do this all the time. Against Algeria in Uyo and Cameroon in Nigeria it was obvious. He over carries the ball and dont know when to release the ball. In Uyo against Cameroon he denied Ighalo a golden chance because of his complacency. VicMo is a selfish player in the colors of Nigeria just like Okocha was but this doesnt mean they cant play good football.

Boss,take it or leave it,moses influence on d pitch against Cameroon home and away made us to cart away four points from d Cameroonians, if not for him


I doubt if we would av qualified,cos it was those two matches DT sealed our qualification


Yes he has more "freedom" in eagles Jersey Dan Chelsea...maybe u re now cin d "freedom" as a negativity, I don't knw and beside.. Same tin for iwobi,he plays with freedom when playing for eagles Dan arsenal,though d latter doesn't hold on much to d ball Dan former. Having said dt,generally moses style for eagles hasnt affected d team negatively


Not DT if he had played a one touch football for eagles we would av won with a wider margin or played better,all in all,victory is what matter most.

kentebemoney:

Av u been owing d skool b4 gaining admission

safarigirl:
yes.

Three of them can play LB as well. You are missing the versatility part

Madam,forget versatility, taking 5/6 players playing d same role is counter productive, we re not going to Russia to play with wing backs/defenders only!,


I sense rohr might drop eida aina/ebuehi,most esp if we are to adopt d new 3-5-2 formation in our group matches and hopefully beyond d group stage too

blueto:
Can you explicitly explain why the two from three of them need to be dropped? thanks

If we re to adopt d 3-5-2 formation for d world cup it would b counter productive taking 4 wing right back to d world cup,it would affect oda department of d team

forgiveness:
Martins is better on the air thanIghalo.o

Guy u no dey tire for dis martins issue,wetin sef ,na small go remain now,u go talk say na MARTINS SABI SLEEP WITH WOMAN PASS for super eagles,all because u want him to b in d team


MARTINS invitation to d team or not is solely rohrs responsibility and not d argument here,

[quote author=mumemma post=63042721]Watchn Akpeyi on SS4,I guess its their cup finals.....He has been solid...Made an incredible save now.....I think he is our best bet......[/quo




Ogbeni,forget.. He has sealed his fate against Argentina ,make he save pass de gea,he has fumbled his chance given to him

Two mediocre teams pairing up..let c aw it pounds out

Is d world cup fixtures(9ja time)out yet?

Dutchey:
why budget such an amount? For cry out loud, CAF promised the 5 countries representing Africa $500,000 each. FIFA is giving us like 3times what CAF is giving, these combined, then we are good to go......the way our leaders budget these days dey weak me

It was analyzed in d write up,out of d 3b budget,DT 900m naira is coming from FIFAs coffers to assist eagles programs during d world cup

Joebie:
Uzoho is ahead of Enyeama at the moment.. Fact!
Too many IFs with Enyeama. Will he find a club? Even if he does, will he play? Even if he does, will he agree to come back?

Uzoho ahead of ENYEAMA?

45mins display in a friendly match compared to 14years GK experience in top level matches..kept 22 or more clean sheet in ligue1,and all dt ,

Nawa for some person here sha

Lazyerudite:
Same way we took experienced Rufai to France 98

Quite diff,Rufai retired outrightly,was not active at all
In club or country,but ENYEAMA case,he's still valid in a club at d moment though with issues,but I feel if sorted out and he starts playing, d form we re all clamouring for will come back


And d way we paint dis ENYEAMAs form sef as if he has forgetten all d gk basic skills,like he's starting all over again and it will take years b4 he recovers

No matter aw logical we want to be or reason on d Gk issue....14year GK experience of VINCENT ENYEAMA is far better Dan d combination of untested trio of alampasu,uzoho and okoye...I wonder y keep arguing glaring issues


We all knw GK garners more exp as set grow old,a typical example is Buffon,van der ser and co



If ENYEAMA is willing to come out of his retirement, please d coaching crew shld jump at him.

We can't risk taking a GRADUATE TRAINEE GK to a competition full of experience Like d WORLD CUP

mazimee:
Are you kidding me? This is pure joke. I know deep down that if we had lost against Argeria or even Argentina you would have reminded anyone that cares to listen How important the players you mentioned are .

It is a good advantage that we can still dorminate and win match without the big players. That is How a team shoud be.

Its a gud sign no doubt... But d fact remains,for every match won under rohr,both players av been instrumental to eagles victory

If dey re both fit and available for selection,rohr wouldn't gamble starting dem on d bench irrespective of d formation, I still stand on my point,dey re indispensable

ChrisKels:
I mean u no disrespect bro but I shouldn't be arguing with u. Onazi is indispensable and we trashed Argentina in his absence? VicMo is indispensable and we av been playing and winning in his absence . U kinda naive, sorry to say Dat. Whoever his absence ain't felt when he is off the pitch isn't indispensable. The person his absense shakes the team is Mikel and no one else. Be reasonable.

We av been winning and playing... Like aw many matches?...just a friendly against Argentina?
Mention any serious match we won wout onazi or moses in d starting line up under rohr


U re saying winning as if we av played close to 100matches under rohr

ChrisKels:
Dat omission of Onazi wasn't premeditated. I thought his name was there. It's been modified.

Lol bro Onazi ain't indispensable? Hope u understand what that word means. The only indispensable player we have now is Mikel Obi, it's even debatable

Onazi,ekong,balogun,Mikel,Moses,Ndidi and to some extent IWOBI/SIMON...re INDISPENSABLE in rohrs team barring loss of form/bad injury to dem,dey re sure starters anytime any day irrespective of d formation

ChrisKels:
This line ups can pull us outta that group stage with ease, barring any form of injuries and dip in form;

Against Croatia and Iceland ;


Uzoho

Shehu Ekong Balogun Idowu

Ndidi Mikel
iwobi

Moses Onyekuru
Ighalo


* Mikel as a CM gives the midfield balance as octopus Ndidi does more of the shielding playing as the DM while Iwobi with his incisive, defense-splitting passes plays ahead of them in the AM position. Mikel playing centrally will also help to annul the effect of Modric and whoever plays alongside him.

* The choice Moses is a no brainer while the choice of Onyekuru is because he is a tricky winger and can easily commit Loveren and Co. He promises goals and assists unlike most other wingers. He does well to fall back too when the team concedes possession.

* The choice of my back four is a no brainer though if Ebuehi and or OLA prove to be improvements (crosses while galloping tro and fro the line, and positional play) on Shehu at the right full back, Shehu sits.


Against Argentina probably with 6points already in the bag;


Uzoho

Awaziem Balogun Ekong

Moses Ndidi Mikel Ogu/Joel Idowu

Ighalo Iwobi


* I chose Uzoho ahead of every other goalkeeper including Enyeama because I don't think Enyeama is coming back. But if he does come back (meeting the criteria needed), then he gets my nod, but until then, I'm working with what is available.

* Moses plays RWB for me because he is about the best in that position right now in the world. And he can still effect the game playing there. Lol he would be up against tired D'maria and whack Rojo.

* Ighalo and Iwobi can do it upfront like Nacho and Iwobi did it in the friendly. It won't be bad also if Kelechi starts ahead of Ighalo for set pieces and the synergy between him and iwobi. I have a selection headache here.


This is my opinion and it's open for constructive criticism

No ONAZI in ur starting line up..very unrealistic, peeps here shld realize DT onazi is d fulcrum of DT midfield whether u like it or not,an onazi will start ahead of any oda midfielder in d team


Any formation wout onazi in d line up is just like a line up wout fielding d GK position.Onazi is indispensable in rohrs team

safarigirl:
Martins too may lose form or get injured sef between now and June...nothing is set in stone

If Martins...y not predict same for KC ,DTS what we call LOPSIDED WISH

acme6:
Engineers, lecturers, bankers, how does that classify the parents as rich?

U dey our own meagre salary structure to diers?
U knw aw much b deir earnings per month over dere?

forgiveness:
If we are dreaming of winning the WC next year or this year, the opponents we face should not matter. We play our game one at a time regardless of who we face.

Therefore, we need the right players to fulfill our task and to pick the best and right players fit for the task, sentiments must be eliminated to the bearest minimum.

This is how I will pick my 23 players.

Gk

Vincent Enyeama
Dele Aiyenugba
Dele Ajiboye



DF

Troost Ekong
Leon Balogun
Chidozie Awaziem
Brian Idowu
Tyrone Ebuehi
Elderson Echiejile
Shehu Abdullahi/ Ola Aina


MF

Mikel Obi
Ogenyi Onazi
Joel Obi
Wilfred Ndidi
Sone Aluko
Victor Moses
Alex Iwobi
Simon Moses
Ahmed Musa
Raheem Lawal/ Abdul Ajagun/ Onomah


ST

Kelechi Iheanacho
Odion Ighalo
Obafemi Martins


With calibers of players I can switch from 4-2-3-1 to 3-5-1 or 4-4-2 to 4-3-3

My first choice players for 3-5-1

.................................Enyeama (hopefully)

.............. Balogun.......Ekong......... Brian

.......Vicmo......... Ndid......... Onazi..........Joel Obi

...................Iwobi.................Mikel

...........................Martins


In 4-2-3-1 formation


.......................................Enyeama

...Ebuehi......... Troost.......... Leon.........Echiejile

......................Onazi.........Joel.......


Vicmo...................Mikel................. Simon Moses

...........................Ighalo

I don't knw y u always choose not to b pragmatic/unrealistic....anyway, u said MY CHOICE not ROHR's

An atiku/fayose ticket will give buhari a run for his money

Mujtahida:
Shey you have not heard about the resurrection of Joel Obi, shey you know we are looking for Mikel's sub? Etebo can't sub Mikel as such.

I can bet my left balls .... Barring no injury/deep in loss of form to him,ETEBO.O will make it to russia
