CHAI!!! Vietnam Kwa!!

Enyimba strikers Obiozor, Okonkwo off on trials overseas

Enyimba are without star strikers Christian Obiozor and Chinonso Okonkwo, who are away on trials in Morocco and Vietnam, respectively.

Officials informed scorenigeria.com.ng Enyimba will begin the second round of the NPFL without both strikers.

Enyimba goalkeeper Theophilus Afelokhai said the team will cope in their absence.

“There is no cause for alarm, we are ready for the second round and we have quality replacements for Chinonso and Obiazor, who has not been playing as he only recovered fully from a knee injury,” he told SCORENigeria

“Just watch out for Enyimba in the second round. We hope to get a result at Remo Stars in Sagamu and from there we are going to Akure to play Sunshine Stars.

“We have double away matches and we can’t afford to lose these two matches because we wish to play on the continent next year.”

just imagine NPFL players going for trials in Vietnam...
sometimes when you think you've seen it all
some of NPFL players will cease to amaze me..
someone will say....search fr greener pasture or to avoid poverty made them embark on this season but I disagree....greed is still a cause

youngestgrad:
All this hype about Henry onyekuru, let's see him first play for the super eagles.Club football is different from national team,I still prefer iwobi-iheanacho-v Moses combination. tried and trusted

are you saying the boy does not merit his call up
or his invitation was hoax?
your assertion about difference between club football and national team play does not follow
the Belgian league is one of the best league in the world for developing players...and here a Nigerian scoring almost in every match... you saying we should not hype and give him the attention he deserves....

I am even saying the boy is not being hyped enough

why is these boy...manuel akanji is still being ignored? the guy at his age is already commanding a starting shirt in FC Basel...

Icon79:
And if you ask me, I will advise him to chose Everton. Ronald Koeman is a very good coach. He, Antonio Conte, and Mauricio Pochettino are the best coaches in the EPL. If Nacho becomes the top striker at Everton (word on the street is that Lukaku is going back to Chelsea), then expect him to score 20+ goals next season.

And Borussia Dortmund would be my second choice.

O pari

exactly my thought
I pray the Young man take the right step

I pray this story be true..
I just can't wait

nony43:
I think it is better than the MTN salary scale we saw the other day, at least with this one by the end of the Year, one must have earned millions

please how much was the mtn salary scale?

Antoeni:
What 're they looking for there

money of course... they're stylishly hurdling

Icon4s:
Lo ba tan.

I doubted the possibility of this May camping arrangement right from the start.

I remember safarigirl and I were discussing how that berret wearing sports minister would derail that program.

What a country.

that minister is a cog in the wheel of sports progress in Nigeria....
remember how he made the vice president to implore pinnick to vote for the old Cameroonian during car elections....on the filmsy diplomatic reasons.
thank God NFF now have a new sponsorship deal hope he stay far from it.

tbaba1234:
Some reports suggest that Rohr called for the cancelation himself.

OK .....if that was the case no problem

why should your girl be engaging in premarital sex if she knew she can't keep a pregnancy.

if you're truly serious wit your plea for her to keep the baby... make up your mind and let her know you will pay her dowry before the pregnancy shot out.
with that move I believe she will keep the baby but please I won't advice abortion

Super Eagles France Camp , Togo Friendly Cancelled ; Kayode Out Of Corsica Game
By Johnny Edward


https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/IMG_20170324_145728-2.jpg

Super Eagles’ proposed training camp in Paris, France after the May 26 friendly game against Corsica has been called off, a top official of the Nigeria Football Federation has informed Completesportsnigeria.com.


Also the friendly against Togo has also been cancelled due to logistics.

The three-time African champions were scheduled to hold a training camp in Paris but an official in the NFF disclosed that the plan has been shelved and the players and the officials will now return to Abuja after the Corsica friendly.

“The friendly announced by the Togo Football Federation will not hold due to several logistics reasons and the team are due back in Nigeria latest May 28,” the source, a member of the technical sub-committee of the NFF, revealed to Completesportsnigeria.com.

The source also disclosed that the team upon their return will be given a few days off while a new list of players that will prosecute the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa on June 10 in Uyo will be announced.

Meanwhile, Austria-based Kayode Olanrewaju has been ruled out of the May 26 friendly against Corsica due to club commitments.

“Kayode won’t be part of the game. He really wanted to but his club Austria Wien insist he cannot because of the crucial nature of games ahead of them as they fight to finish second in the league,” the source added.

Olanrewaju is expected to lead Austrian Wein’s bid to maintain their second spot in the Austrian Bundesliga behind run-away leaders Salzburg who they host on May 25, a day before the Corsica friendly and in the final game away at Admira Moedling.

NFF have a very problem...
so what's the rationale for cancelling the proposed Togo friendly.
the problem with these folks in Glass house is that they think managing is all about assembling a team and taking them to the field to play and that's all...
I really thank God for rohr....deep down I know if NFF should have their way they will cancel the Paris camping and proposed friendly....

Clubs In Turkey , Germany, China Show Interest In Ogu
By Johnny Edward

https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG_20170516_202833.jpg


Turkish club Istanbul Buyuksehir and three tops side in Germany and another in China have all made enquiries about Nigerian midfielder John Ogu, Completesportsnigeria.com has reliably gathered.

Istanbul Buyuksehir, who are still in contention to win the Turkish Super Lig for the first time as they are two points adrift of leaders Besiktas, have contacted the representatives of the Nigerian midfielder, it was gathered.

With four games left to play Istanbul Buyuksehir are already preparing for their debut campaign in the UEFA Champions League for next season.

"There's a possibility Ogu moves this summer but I'm sure that Hapoel Be'er Sheva will want to offer him a better deal to stay so that they can compete well next season," a source close to the Super Eagles midfielder told Completesportsnigeria.com.


Ogu was one of the standout performers for Hapoel Be'er Sheva this season as the Camels clinched the Israeli title for the second successive season.

The Nigerian international scored once in 31 appearances for the Camels who beat Maccabi Tel Aviv to the title for a second year in a row.

The 29-year-old who previously featured for Almeria, Drava Ptuj, U.D. Leiria and Académica is one of the players called up for Nigeria's friendly against Corsica later this month.

he should remain in Isreal for the next two years
moreover he is not doing badly
he is in a good team that accord him the respect that he deserves

tbaba1234:
There are reports that Dortmund want to replace Aubamayang with Iheanacho...What are your thoughts?

that will be perfect.
he can wear the shoes of his fellow African...
just pray he goes a good team that will aid his development... will love he moves to Germany though

tbaba1234:
What if, those are the offers coming?

Sweden can be a launch pad to bigger things if he can be successful there.

please forget about this Sweden and Finland thing...
how many Nigeria players have been able to progress from there...
the weather is not even something good to write about.
he should play CHAN and afterwards move out...to Europe....Isreal or Turkey won't be a bad move

Swedish Club To Scout Super Eagles Invitee Sikiru Olatunbosun Ahead Of Transfer

https://allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/97394sIKIRU.jpg


Allnigeriasoccer.com has been informed that representatives of an unnamed Swedish club are expected in Lagos next month on a scouting mission.
A Swedish-based Nigerian agent Innocent Okeke is coming to Nigeria to scout Mountain of Fire FC star Sikiru Olatunbosun, and he will be accompanied to the Agege Stadium by a club president of a Swedish club.
Should Sikiru impress the visitors from Scandinavia, he will be offered a straight contract without him undergoing trials.
He was talk of the town in March when his goal against Enugu Rangers was named Goal of the Week by CNN.
Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr will first run the rule over Sikiru Olatunbosun next week in France before his audition in the Nigerian Professional Football League.

pray the young man be patient a little and make a decision after CHAN and not rush to eastern Europe or Sweden of a place

BascoVanVeli:
Could be the reason Tammy was left off the English U20 team. He could be taking a step closer to the super eagles.

hmmmm...you've a point there.
just the English FA can be sometimes crafty

DEATHMACHINE:
Hehehehe Amaju pinnick go just show for the guy house with him papa, hand am Nigerian passport
then Abraham's father will be like : Tammy please follow uncle pinnick to Abuja for one week




Next thing Daily Times UK Headline will be like
TAMMY ABRAHAM MAKES DEBUT FOR NIGERIA , SCORES BRACE

I suspect a coup on the young man by his Father and Pinnick.

but they should have kept everything secret...
the English press are very smart
revealing their plans and moves in this manner is not wisdom at all

Manchester City are preparing to bid farewell to their Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho in the summer transfer window.
Allnigeriasoccer.com broke the news that Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund were among the teams in Germany exploring ways to sign the Taye Academy product at the end of this season.
Now the Daily Mail has reported that Borussia Dortmund would be open to do a deal if they receive an offer of 23 million euros (equivalent of N9.5 billion).
Iheanacho may partner Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in attack or replace the Gabonese international if he departs the club, with Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City reportedly interested in him.
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and Bayer Leverkusen have registered their interest in the Nigerian but Borussia Dortmund are hoping to steal a march on their rivals.

this men can't keep things secret at all...who asked them about Tammy Abraham.







The spokesman of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Ademola Olajire has confirmed that the football house has secured international passports for Hannover 96 Noah Joel Sarenren Bazee and Chelsea Ola Aina.
The duo were born abroad to Nigerian parents, but after talks with coach of the Nigeria team they have both pledged their international future to Nigeria ahead of their land of birth.
Aina was born in England and has represented them at various youth level but he will now henceforth represent Nigeria at senior level. Bazee was born in Germany but pledged his international future to Nigeria after a breakthrough season with Hannover 96.
However for the duo to be part of the Nigerian team in competitive teams, they need to be in possession of a Nigerian passport, which according to the NFF is now a thing of the past.
Aside the duo, the NFF also confirmed that talks over a Nigerian passport for Tammy Abraham, the Chelsea youngster who took the English Championship by storm during his loan spell with Bristol City is progressing nicely.
“The coach does not want to take any chances, so he has a list of players he would be relying on to play the matches.
“The Nigerian football federation has secured Nigerian passport for Ola Aina, Joel Bazee. We are working on that of Tammy Abrahams and others.
“We want the best players in the national team, so we are not taking any chances at all.” spokesman Olajire said.

If that boy becomes a big hit in future some will still blame the NFF. They will not remember this comment made by his father.

only ignorant persons will blame the NFF
I knew long ago...the boy gonna play for Germany
rohr have approached him before now. but he never got a positive response.
I wish him all the best....he has what it takes to attain great heights.

to me..
they're the worst set of people to relate with in this world...
or work with especially when they're your boss or seniors
they're barely patient with others and don't tolerate others weakness. ..forgetting them too have their weaknesses.

NwamaziNwaAro:
So sad...
This are the type of people that deserve all the accolade Efe is getting.

Congrats man.

misleading headline.. It should be
Bayelsa guy makes Niger delta proud

bro...when will you stop being a tribalist?
can't you see these tribalism and sectional mindset is taking us nowhere
we youths are the future of these country... our elders have failed we too must not toil same line
*bless youuu

Joebie:
Germany, hands off he is ours!!! This may yet be our best thing since losing Alaba

the only way to keep trap of lads of this kind
is to give them early national debut
I still remember I told a friend then.... when Dele Alli was still in Mk Dons that he should be invited to get train with the super eagles and when he got signed for spurs I repeated samething but my friend chide me...... but today the story is different

the truth is......league 1 in England or the German second tier league is far more developed , organized and mature than our league....pride won't let many here say the truth....

Joebie:
Germany, hands off he is ours!!! This may yet be our best thing since losing Alaba

forget it brother
Germany has already gotten the lad
u know they rarely go after a player....but when they do it shows they may need that player...they have the convictions too
mind the national team coach applauded the young man recently and say he reminds him of boateng...that should tell you, he might have him in his plans

I believe rohr must have approached him before now, something tells me it never worked

those threads can be so toxic that it can actually distort ones objectivity, hence the reason I avoid such threads too

yeah...you're very right
I actually love discussing politics partly reason because I had my degree in political science and public administration...
politics interest me a lot...I even write articles sometimes
but the minds here in nairaland are something else though they're exceptions
nice to meet you

A lesson for all, it is not always how u start but how u finish. With all the goose eggs he laid, he will still always be remembered for the 2 goals that saved his club from relegation.

if you have been a long time observer and you choose to tow the path of tribal and party affiliation sentiments,then I must say you are not wise ,anyone who supports any polithiefian and bicker amongst fellow citizens for whatever reason is not wise

God bless you.
from your comment
you're so mature

many a time I don't comment on politics section reason because of these tribal wars and ignorance on our part the youth ..that our common enemy are the politicians who have not only looted the treasury of d country at our own detriment but also set us against ourselves
