Scout report: Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze
Wednesday 6 March 2019
UEFA.com
UEFA.com
He's a fleet-footed winger likened to Arjen Robben; meet Villarreal's new star Samuel Chukwueze.
They might be struggling domestically, but Villarreal are enjoying a better time of it in the UEFA Europa League; we pay homage to the Yellow Submarine's teenage Nigerian who is making waves.
Scout notes
Name: Samuel Chukwueze Age: 19 Club: Villarreal Position: Winger Country: Nigeria 2018/19*: 25 games, 5 goals
Who is he?
A quick, skilful winger and graceful runner with the ball at his feet, Chukwueze – known as 'Samu' – is the 19-year-old Nigerian helping to power Villarreal's Liga survival bid and UEFA Europa League charge.
What makes him so good?
The teenager's direct running, trickery and willingness to shoot with his favoured left foot have caught the eye and earned comparisons with Bayern winger Arjen Robben. Similarly unafraid to assume responsibility, Chukwueze relies on his speed and quick feet to make something happen.
Why is he the centre of attention?
He's added goals and assists to his evident dribbling ability. Chukwueze scored in back-to-back Liga games in November, following up with his first European goal in a 2-0 win against Spartak Moskva that clinched qualification for the UEFA Europa League round of 32. His assist for Santi Cazorla's opening goal against Real Madrid was a beauty, too, showcasing excellent close control and vision.
Where has he come from?
Chukwueze rose through the ranks at the Diamond Academy in Nigeria before Villarreal swooped in 2017 amid reported interest from Arsenal, Monaco and Porto. The youngster has progessed swiftly, admitting that even he did not expect his senior breakthrough to come quite so soon.
Prior to joining the Yellow Submarine, he had contributed three goals as Nigeria lifted the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
When did he make his debut?
The Nigerian had the rare honour of receiving a senior international call-up prior to his league debut. Chukwueze's maiden appearance at club level came in the UEFA Europa League as a late substitute against Rangers in September 2018, before he scored on his second Liga outing – a 2-2 draw against Rayo Vallecano – in November, just days before his international bow against Uganda.
How far could he go?
With Villarreal struggling and Chukwueze flitting in and out of the side, it can be tough to gauge, but he certainly has the attributes – pace, direct running, eye for goal – to succeed anywhere in Europe.
Having made his Nigeria debut late in 2018, a realistic short-term aim is a place in the Super Eagles' squad for this summer's CAF Africa Cup of Nations.
What they say …
"Sometimes when you're in a bad patch, a team needs cheeky players like Samu with something different." Raúl Herrera, Villarreal academy director
"He's a player who floats across the ground – it seems as if he doesn't even touch the grass – but he's still developing. He has to work more in defence." Luis García, former Villarreal coach
"Chukwueze has a good left foot, is quick, has a low centre of gravity - which gives him very good balance - and can deliver and score." Gernot Rohr, Nigeria coach
"He has a quality that just overflows and you can't stop, like a river." Miguel Álvarez, Villarreal youth team coach
What he says …
"My friends started the whole Arjen Robben comparison because of my playing style and I consider him my first football hero. I know there's still a lot for me to do to even come close to what he has achieved in football, so I'm not getting carried away."
"At Villarreal the officials keep reminding me of another Nigerian – Ikechukwu Uche – who they regard as a legend at the club; they've told me to try to emulate his ways on and off the pitch."
"I still don't feel all that important. I need to keep working hard so that the coach continues to believe and trust in me."

Pictures or we don't believe you @the highlighted  Coming to your question, some women tend to love too quickly and/or reveal everything about themselves too quickly. Hence, per the 5th guys ... you guys just met and haven't gotten that close, so you don't tell him anything about your health status. At this stage of the friendship, all you can share with him are your hobbies, personality, religion, politics, likes and dislikes, etc. He has no business snooping into your personal life. If I were in your position, the only time I would reveal that information is when I start discussing marriage with a guy. And I am talking about when that discussion gets really serious that he has fixed a date to come and meet your parents. Other than that, you're not really keeping anything from him that he ought to know. I mean, it isn't like your HIV positive or anything. SS is not a communicable disease; hence, I would only share that piece of info with someone who's planning to have a family with me. O pari Chi59: I haven't been fortunate with guys. My first attempt at a relationship failed woefully. And so did the second, third and fourth. It isnt entirely without a reason though. I'm SS. I have been a Sickle cell advocate for many years. I don't shy away from talking about it on any level.
Apart from that fact, I'm beautiful, smart, funny, very lovely, outgoing (even as an ambivert). I poses a healthy level of empathy, self esteem and confidence.
Physically I'm tall, slim, moderately endowed. I have been told that I look healthier than some "healthy" people. So I don't know, what am I lacking? All the guys I've been in love with, for one flimsy reason or the other just disappear for no reason. Just like that.
Of course, I don't hide my genotype status, but then they seem cool with it. Months later, he disappears and leaves me heartbroken.
Now I find myself liking someone again (the fifth guy). We haven't gotten that close but I'm scared. Should I lie to him? What do I tell him? |

LOL. I realized that women prefer Samsung phones to iphone, because of all the flashness but you can't compare an android phone to IOS. That's like comparing a Mercedes Benz to a Volvo. If you know, you know  And by the way, OnePlus is good mid-level phone but don't even compare it to an Iphone. Those two are not in the same category. O pari Perspec: A so-called phone aficionado who does not know why an iPhone of 6months ago still costs as much/more than the just realeased s10 series. I'm not even surprised. From the way you said a whole lot and ended up saying nothing tangible, I don't need an oracle to tell me you're the type that'll rather use & rate an iPhone 4 over an s8.
Arguing with your type is entirely pointless. Steve Jobs really used his marketing genius to do wonders on your type. How dare you say people who compare Samsung to iPhones can't afford it? Your shallow sense of reasoning is a testament to Steve Job's living legacy.
That aside, are you kidding me? Remove iPhone xs rubbish from that list of best phones currently in the market and replace it with the one plus 6T. Phone aficionado my foot. |

Guys, coaching/team selection isn't as simple as some of y'all tend to make it. The two players you're talking about, for instance, play different position. Hence, there are quite a few things the coach gotta consider before deciding on whom to invite. Example, do you have weakness in the current team and in what positions. We're well loaded in the midfield whereas the striker position is still a weak link, especially the top striker. Right now, we only have Odion Ighalo. Got it  O pari Taliban: If osimhen in the same league is invited then why was Awoniyi overlooked? But then coaches are human and I believe they are free to have their favourites. |
