DeadPresidents: Yesterday, i went on an official appointment in the quaint city of Potsdam. I had difficulty locating the right office (everything is in German man) and i met a kindly Sicherheit (Security Officer) who showed me the correct office and asked if i was a Nigerian. I replied, “yes” and we got to chatting.
He asked me “Why is Germany having a sudden influx of Nigerians?”. Usually he mostly sees Eritreans, Ethiopians and Ghanaians. I replied something something economic opportunities but the real answer in my mind is, “Baba, Buhari has fcked the country up and we’re now moving like refugees”. He never know wetin dey sup
Omo, our next President must work menh. This administration done cause serious wahala
So you didn't wait till next Saturday to do your civic duty?
Just because your MCM Jogginghoe can escort a referee doesn't mean you should draw false equivalence with Enzo failing to catch the fastest player in Bundesliga history
Bimffo: Enzo will never commit there. I have watch football for long enough to know that rushing to mark or stamp out Adeyemi, is a recipe for disaster. .
Clowns expecting Enzo to run at Adeyemi here, with the whole field for Adeyemi to knock it into and just run round him. Some clowns dey this section
lordfalcao: after jockeying from centre half to 18 box, that was when Enzo had a thought to make a tackle.
Mtchwwww
That means he's shown Karim enough to respect his speed not to burn him from the halfway line.
Karim waited until they approached the box where he knows Enzo can't tackle. He knows Enzo has enough speed to foul him before
If that was Jogginghoe or even CSO, that matter ends on the halfway line where Karim just pushes the ball past them and runs around them
Enzo has done everything to the textbook relative to Karims speed, jockeying him enough, increasing the chance for teammates to catch up, pushing him wide enough such that the chance of a goal would be lower if Kepa had stayed on his goal
The only thing Enzo did not do to textbook is shout at Mudryk who failed at every one of his duty from staying alive to runners from the box, to his recovery run
There is a reason Coaches sit one man at the edge of the box and one man on the halfway line at corners. The man at the edge of the box (Mudryk) is never supposed to allow a one v one with the last man. That's the main failing in that move,not no Enzo who played everything to the textbook
Anybody saying different has never played any serious football. Imagine someone saying Enzo should not push Karim wide on his left foot and allow him through the middle. Some people should be banned from commenting on football
iamoyindamola: Another angle Karim is left footed, Enzo didn't take advantage of that by moving to the left side to inconvenience him instead he allowed him on a platter
When the goal is on Karim right side. He should move over and give Karim a sniff of running through the middle?
So why didn't Enzo make the tackle? Since it's claimed he slowed adeyemi down
The moment you twist your body to face Adeyemi and attempt the tackle is when Adeyemi will knock it past you, and you lose the option of slowing him down till your teammates arrive
Mudryk can not be the reason why Enzo jockeyd from our half to the box 18..
Send the screenshot when the ball landed on adeyemi feet first let's see.
He jockeyed enough for Thiago Silva to get close
That means he jockeyed enough for Mudryk to overtake sef
That is the first thing coach will teach you when defending counterattack and I'm sure if you made it into the dressing room, Mudryk is the one catching stick for not performing his second man duties
lordfalcao: When this ball landed on adeyemi feet, mudryk was not near to adeyemi.
From box to 18 is almost 20 seconds. Enough time for the yoot to make any tackle, he has body size more than adeyemi
Still pictures won't show you anything
At the time that ball was cleared Mudryk was closer to Enzo than Adeyemi. Mudryk fell asleep
Enzo slowed him down enough for Mudryk to form a second man easily, but Mudjryk did not sprint back, and that's the real crime in this scenario
By the end of the move, Thiago Silva was closer to Adeyemi than Mudryk. Enzo had slowed Adeyemi enough for a sprinting Mudryk to double up, but Mudryk did not sprint
Pic 1 - Mudryk with Adeyemi at the start of the move
Pic 2 - Thiago Silva closest to Enzo and Adeyemi at the end of the move
If Enzo could slow Adeyemi down enough for 39 year old Thiago Silva to sprint from the box and make it that close, then he has overslowed him enough for a speedster like Mudryk to catch up and snuff that move
Mudryk is the one who was not on his job, Enzo has done more than enough to slow Adeyemi
iamoyindamola: Body checking him here is yellow but look at him retreating
Last man foul is red card
He's not even close enough to body check at that distance without swinging way out of his way to commit an obvious dangerous play. You never play ball before
iamoyindamola: Did Enzo even make any effort ? Not even disturbance but your excuse is Karim is very fast While watching the highlights I actually thought j5 doppelganger played for Chelsea yesterday
If you have played football before, you will know that jockeying and waiting for other players is the No1 reaction to that situation.
Mudryk was not far away and should make the jockey pay if he's switched on. From that distance, lunging at Adeyemi is allowing him free run on goalkeeper or giving yourself instant red card
popizaino: You are too fixated on how and why we concede goals but that should be least of any Chelsea fans worry.
Let me tell you whether they speak the same language or not we are going to concede goal,what we should rather be concerned and worried about, is the fact that we don't score enough which has been our major problem as a club.
Do you think you will be in a dressing room and a manager will see that incident and not address it?
This is not monkey post. Football is about managing spaces and breaking through your opponent's spaces. It's as simple as that.
timbros: Nothing wey communication fit do for that Karim first touch. That his ball control directly put him one on one with Enzo.
If he had taken more time to control the ball, that's when help could have come for Enzo. But you see that first touch? Forget!
Mudryk was goalside of Kareem when Dortmund cleared that ball. Kareem wouldn't even have had chance to trap that ball, that ball would have fallen on Mudryk shouldering Adeyemi
Kantebets: it has little to do with language The coach’s tactics was responsible for that goal simple!
Not necessarily. My only change there would be Chilwell for Enzo as last man but I think Chilly was taking the corner. Mudryk fell asleep and should be woken up immediately by a vocal last man controlling that area with a loud voice. Enzo is quick enough but not enough for a player like Adeyemi. Adeyemi will probably burn Chilwell sef
Communication is very important in defending, that's where buying too many players at once falls down
Mudryk supposed to follow Adeyemi and just as importantly Enzo should have been shouting at Mudryk to start running as soon as Dortmund cleared that ball. That's where too many new players who don't speak the language at the same time can come at a cost
