Red Bull Salzburg is miles ahead of any other team in Austria.

Their performance in Europe is not a reflection of the standard of the league.

Just like leipeig in Germany, Red Bull has helped make Salzburg a formidable force in Austria.

If Red Bull Salzburg is miles ahead of any other team in Austria with better and quality players, how come Kayode Olanrewaju was named the best player in that league ahead of players in the club miles ahead of him?

Besides, Bayern Munich is miles ahead of any other team in Germany. We can also agree that their performance is not the reflection of the league, right?

Mickael2:
best player abi highest goalscorer

Both.

Olarenwaju Kayode voted Austrian Bundesliga player of the year

AYODELE

30 MAY 2017
Nigeria’s international Olarewaju Kayode has been voted the best player in the Austrian Bundesliga.

The Austria Wien’s forward has been sensational form this season, finishing as top scorer in the Austrian Bundesliga with 17 goals and recording 24 goals in all competitions.

http://www.punchng.com/olarenwaju-kayode-voted-austrian-bundesliga-player-of-the-year/amp/

Just last season Kayode Olanrewaju was the best player in the Austrian league that produced this eyes catching Salzburg team but surprisingly his talent is not noticed by 'to whom it may concern' in Nigeria.

Obviously, this Austrian league is good.

I don't think Man City was blind to have bought him as wants us to believe.

Well, I just dey observe.

Mickael2:
which one be El gini? I meant when Dzeko, clearly on side, raced through and rounded Karius only to be brought down and for some reason the ref said he was offside. Then when I think it was Pelligrini was putting the ball straight into the back of the net but for that their RB's hand which was a blatant penalty but then you no go see am na

Before nko!

Na wa ooooooo.

EmmGee:
perhaps mane is what you think moses is?

I think Moses is underrated. The lad is equally as good as Mane or even more, in my own submission.

Mickael2:
they had two legal penalties and potentially a red card for Karius na that Slovenian ref wey sell the match

You mean the El sha and Dzeko's dives?

We were not acting in Nollywood yesterday, na. Na ball we dey play.

What do you say about the one Sane was pushed at the back?

You no see that one?

Liverpool acted the script well yesterday.

Mickael2:
hahahaha. please tell me you didn't say that with a straight face please

I am serious, my man.

realpoacher:
At bolded, he is very ready for the world cup.

From what i saw yesterday and over the course of the UCL knockout stages...., i refuse to look down on Uzoho henceforth because I saw nothing of note done by any of these top class goalies to merit their pay and name!

I will not be cajoled or bought over by name, titles or the hogwash talk about experience when in actual sense non could deliver on the pitch when it mattered most.

For christ sake, every shot at ultriech was a fucccking goal. Its ridiculous..... .. Even Navas was not spared

Last night, it was goals galore at both ends of Alison and karius.... If i didn't watch these matches, i would probably have been brainwashed with hullabaloos... But it seems like i sat down there last night at the viewing center watching basketball � instead of football. Same for Madrid vs Juventus match, same for Liverpool vs Roma first leg, same for Barcelona vs Roma

The keepers performance so far is Atrocious, say it as it is... I can't watch such crap from supposed experienced, top class goalies and turn around to say Uzoho is not ready for the world cup. He is ready!!

Read my lips.... UZOHO IS READY!.. UZOHO IS READY!!.... UZOHO IS READY!!!

If Uzoho was in btw the stick yesterday for either Liverpool or Roma, em go substitute himself before dem bend em waist for am.

None of those goals were the keepers fault. The goals were all waist benders or breakers.

realpoacher:
Hogwash... 4-2 and 0-2 are the same abi?

Abeg go sleep

Was Liverpool's keeper at fault for all those goals?

How did he perform in that game?

TheSuperNerd:
Calm down naa... This kain thing dey happen. Just that he will now miss games when he is in fine form. Annoying! Kayode will learn shaa. It is okay. He hardly gets or have never gotten into situations like this if I recall right...

I heard he argues a lot with referees in Austria. Anyway, na em sabi. Goodluck to him.

EmmGee:
LOL
come on sir. for real? i beg to differ

Na for real I dey.

realpoacher:
It is atrocious watching the so called "World class" or "Top class" Goalkeepers conceding avoidable plenty goals at this knockout stage of the Uefa Champions League.
One would expect that the very best keepers in world football presently will atleast keep the scorelines reasonably low. But alas, what do we see,?...we see scandalous scoreline like 5-2, 4-2, 2-2, 1-2, 3-0, 1-3,4-1 and 3-0.

Ter stegan conceded 4 goals over two legs, Navas conceded 6 goals in 4 matches, Ultriech conceded 4 in two legs, karius conceded 6 over two legs while the so called exceptional Alison conceded a whooping 11 goals in 4 matches....

I can bet my left balls that if our young, inspiring Uzoho had kept any of these games, he would probably had been put on the slaughterhouse in this thread.... SMH!!

If stegan, Ultriech, Alison, Navas, karius playing among their mates could not keep the scorelines low,... Then what miracle do we expect uzoho to produce?....
I ask because it seems like we have placed a ridiculously high demands on his shoulders, expecting him to perform even better than his seniors when among his mates he has done very well and keeping almost more than 9 clean sheets.

Even when called upon to man the post among his seniors, he has not done badly conceding only 2 goals in three matches.

I think its high time we left the young man alone and begin to believe in his abilities else I will assume that we too have begun to judge our brothers through the prism of the white man,... I will assume we have become belligerent, and insatiable with our expectations

I am specifically passing this message across to Mujtahida, O pari master, egbon kog45, egbon forgiveness, Joebie who castigated Uzoho to abyss since the day his club videos surfaced here,.. and even our dear tbaba1234 who with his little experience in amateur goalkeeping should have known better that as a young keeper, you can easily learn and grow unlike an already established Goalkeeper.

It's not about the numbers of goals a goalkeeper conceeds that matters, it's about how em take chop the goals that matters. EOD

isan:
Roma are really warriors give them 2 more minute and they will knock out liverpool

Which 2 minutes? The 94 minutes no do dem?

Bolowolowo:
Chai, see this Sadio Mane dude. If only Naija had an ace like him. One can only dream

Victor Moses is as good as Sadio. Even Kayode plays like him.

Man City Loanee Kayode Banned For Three Games For Violent Conduct In Ukraine

https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/15918Kayode.jpg


Manchester City loanee Olarenwaju Kayode has been banned for one match plus two matches conditionally following the incident that occurred in the Ukrainian Premier League match between his team Shakhtar Donetsk and Dynamo Kiv on April 14, 2018, writes the official website of the FFU.

The Control and Disciplinary Committee of the Football Federation of Ukraine announced its decision to ban Kayode at a meeting on May 2.

The Nigeria international was not shown a card for striking the head of Dynamo Kiev's number 30 Artem Shabanov in the fourth minute of stoppage time but the capital outfit sent a complaint letter to the Ukrainian Federation, requesting that Kayode should be banned for five matches.
Assuming the Video Assistant Referee system was applied during the game, Kayode would have received a straight red card and suspended for a minimum of three matches.

The former Golden Eaglets and Flying Eagles star will miss Shakhtar Donetsk's next competitive match against Zorya on Saturday, May 5.
Kayode has had a strong start to his career at the Ukrainian champions as he has recorded three goals from five matches in all competitions.

Exclusive: Rohr, NFF To Make Big Decision As Leicester's Ndidi Is Ruled Out For Six Weeks


Wilfred Ndidi will be on the sidelines for the next six weeks, Leicester City have confirmed Nigeria's worst fears before manager Gernot Rohr announces a 35-man provisional roster for the 2018 World Cup.
The central midfielder subbed out in the 51st minute of the Foxes 5-0 loss to Crystal Palace on April 28 due to a hamstring injury and scans conducted soon after the game at Selhurst Park have revealed the full extent of his injury.

Rohr and the Nigeria Football Federation have a big decision to make, whether to name Ndidi on the 23-man for the World Cup with the hope that he will be fit before Nigeria's first game against Croatia on June 16.

''Ndidi will be ready for the World Cup. The result of the scan is out, they will put him on a programme to get him back to fitness,'' a top source told allnigeriasoccer.com .

''He will initially be out of action for four weeks and will need two weeks extra to be fully fit.''

Only yesterday, Ndidi was named Leicester City's Young Player of the Season for the second year running, he was one of the key players for the Nigerian national team during the World Cup qualifiers.

Nigeria Receive Good News On Russia-Bound Iwobi: Passed Fit After Injury Scare


https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/38537Alex.jpg

Super Eagles winger Alex Iwobi is in line to play some part in Arsenal's crucial semifinals second leg match of the Europa League Thursday night against Atletico Madrid.

Allnigeriasoccer.com reliably gathered from a source close to the Nigerian international that a fitness test was conducted on Monday to ascertain whether the nimble footed forward can play at the Wanda Metropolitano following the hamstring-related problem he picked up in Arsenal's 2-1 loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.

"Alex will definitely play against Atletico Madrid. He was passed fit on Monday after passing a fitness test," the source who pleads anonymity exclusively told allnigeriasoccer.com .
"He (Alex) is back in training with the rest of the team and will travel with the team to Spain.
"The players know the importance of Thursday's game against Atletico. Its virtually the biggest game for Arsenal so far this season and Alex wants to be part of this big game.''

Iwobi picked up the hamstring injury whilst attempting to control the ball in flight after a long pass by Calum Chambers.

That is a good one. No but please.

bengine:
depends on the the grade...grade1 meaning a mild tear needs at least 3weeks, grade 2 like 4-8weeks, grade3 ...forget worldcup

The grade 2 is not good at this time because WC is approximately 6 weeks away. When will such player get back to fitness after he is healed?

So, it is better none falls into grade 2 else such player will be rendered useless for the world cup.

asha80:
for those that play for teams that are chasing something or fighting relegation it is expected that they give 100% however for those that play for teams that their season is practically wrapped up maybe they should exercise caution (Leicester season is practically wrapped up)

You are right but make dem take am easy oooo.

Humility017:
yeah...

please egbon does anyone know how long it takes hamstring injury to get healed because right now I have begin to use my tongue count my teeth....

ndidi and iwobi....

Hmmmmm! I see. Thanks

No. I don't know how long it will take but it depends anyway.

Humility017:
the younger brother did...
the senior is still with England

Lukas?

asha80:
it is beginning to get funny all these injuries happening now

I think it's high time our players start playing with caution.

jihday:
I think iwobi just pulled his hamstring

Na wa ooooooo. Which kain news be dis.

Humility017:
Bro relax....we have seen players rock these stats...in time past...only to play haywire when on GWG....

for now iwobi should assist mikel on that role...pending when ajagun gets to impress on the GWG.

You have seen player A play haywire in GWG doesn't mean player B will also play haywire. They are not the same. Therefore, it is necessary and mandatory that a player doing well in Europe should be given the chance to answer his father's name for himself.

They should not be buried before they are born. Gaskia ni!

He should be invited as soon as possible.

Humility017:
please just forget about that kid...same with Bennets in spurs...

Nigeria is like their 3rd option...they're both German nationals also.....well gifted players..
England will not let slip through their fingers.

Nmecha is off England's fingers. He has played for Germany recently.

edi287:
Plus he has goals in him. I don't like his allround play one but with Onyekuru just coming back from injury, we need all the goals we can get. Let's look for an AM

That's what Oga Rohr suppose dey think of but.... We are watching.

Martz101:
Now na banker but 1 month ago na useless brainless player that is all about speed, Nigerian fans are not consistent

You sure say u never miss road?

MetalJigsaw:
That's it. These stats clearly suggests that Ajagun could be the missing link. He's a very talented AM.

I don't know what wrong with Rohr. He seems not bothered about our AM shortcomings and overeliance on aging Mikel to anchor the midfield.

Your head dey dere.

daveP:
hmm. Ajagun

Abeg! wetin do am?
