ChrisKels:
He is actually proving me right, not wrong. Never doubted his abilities

When his move to Lille is sanctioned u will know he prove u wrong

andrewbaba44:
Proving who wrong ?

He is playing in the Serbia league bro ,don’t make it look like he is bossing a better league

Almost all super eagles player you know will boss the Serbian league

And yes it’s a good one for his Developement and I hope he moves to a better league as soon as possible

Kudos to sadiq umar for proving everyone wrong

Thats the best option bro

mkrest:
They chose the easy way out

I'm glad richaldison didn't pass to iwobi yesterday knowing iwobi he would have attempted a very tame shot or get closed down quickly and the fans will crucify him

Plateau , enyimba and rivers will represent Nigeria in the continent next season after stakeholders voted to end the season using PPG , kano pillars has also been given the last continental spot as the defending champion of the Aiteo cup

18 ....I was working at a factory

I hope aina leave Torino ....shitty club shitty country shitty people I'm so angry by that tweet

Lawal is right Lille need chill a 60M price tag will put a lot of pressure osihmen that even 15 goals will not be enough for a season osihmen is still developing Lille should not be greedy

andrewbaba44:
Just negodu garbal lawal saying osimhen price tag is outrageous

So because he isnt brazillian then he should not be worth such amount , the kind things wey all this old men dey talk at times like say dem no get sense

Abeg me i cant wait for a Nigerian player to be purchased with such amount

Lol because anytime i open this thread Chuks is always in a match

Edopesin:
3 games in 8 days, la liga dey rush fixtures

even Premier league

Lille should collect 30m for osihmen and let him move to another semi big team to continue developing

[Nah everyday villareal dey play ? quote author=Edopesin post=90853318]Ramon Azeez to save the day as he comes on 61min played

---

Chukwueze comes on to extend the lead 63min played

Granada 0-1 Villarreal[/quote]

I'm sure he's not going down with them

COOL10:
Whoever knows Pukki personally should better advice him to leave Norwich. He's too good of a goalscorer to get relegated. I love Norwich's style of play but they'll need a miracle to stay in the league.

Onazi is done just a journey men now

Philosopher1979:
If he improves yes he can. He is a quality player. Remember nigeria vs france 2014 world cup and how he bossed the midfield that contained pogba. More so he once played for Lazio. The talent is still there but he needs to get over his injuries and get back to form. Just give him an injury free season and let us see.
The quality is still there and he has experience. He is not yet finished and he may have something to offer

Don't act like u don't know only injury has been stopping him from getting invited

komekn:
On what basis ❓

Hope he stay active and get his chances in super eagles

Look saren bazeee is finally going to stay on his feet

This one no get top level experience .... give us peter dedevbo

With the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) having declared its intention to get the best possible coach for the Super Falcons no matter where the person comes from, at least six foreign coaches have indicated their interest to handle the team.

One of them is Juha-Pekka Niskanen from Finland who has been the manager of a female club, SC Kufu-98 which play in the Kakkonen Group C in the European country since January of the year 2019.

The last foreigner to handle the team, Thomas Dennerby, a Swede, resigned shortly after leading the Falcons to the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup despite having a year left on his contract.

The NFF President, Amaju Pinnick, had declared recently that he would do everything possible to get the best coach for the Super Falcons no matter where the person comes from.

An NFF official revealed that two female and four male foreign coaches are currently jostling for the Super Falcons job but the said official, however, refused to name the nationalities of the job-seeking foreign coaches.

Complete Sports can authoritatively reveal that Finnish tactician, Niskanen is one of the foreign managers interested in the Falcons job and has in fact submitted his application. Niskanen spoke with CS reporter, Oluyemi Ogunseyin all the way from Finland...

Coach Pekka, we heard of your interest in the Super Falcons job. Why are you interested in coaching the Nigerian women's national team and what do you think you can offer?

Why I am interested in the Super Falcons coaching position is because I know a lot about the team. I followed the Nigerian team at the Women's World Cup finals in France 2019.

I also saw Nigeria beat Cameroon in the final of the African Women's Cup of Nations (AWCON) in 2016 and since then, I have been very impressed with the potentials of the Nigerian ladies.

I watched and noticed the potentials in the girls in their semi-final and final games against Cameroon and South Africa respectively in the 2019 AWCON and I believe I can build on their achievement and develop Nigerian female football to the greatest height at the world stage.

At France 2019, I noticed that the girls were not in the right condition needed for the world stage football in a tournament that they were paired in group A against teams like France, South Korea and Norway.

Most of them, however, looked very athletic and that is a strong basis for every national team to achieve success in tournaments. We have also had many good female players from Nigeria here in Finland playing in our top-most league.

For example, Rita Chikwelu and Abiodun Obende and of course, Cynthia Uwak who is the all-time highest goal-scorer in Finland's women's league, she played in our country for ten years and showed great potentials of what Nigerian players can offer. 

Can you tell Nigerians about your achievement in the coaching or management business that makes you think you can take the Super Falcons to the next level?

I have been for five years the sporting director at Pallokissat which is one of the biggest female football clubs in Finland. During that time, I have been coaching and helping to train coaches in our first team.

Also in the top-levels, our under 15 and u-18 teams, I have managed to develop nothing less than ten national team players for age-group born within the years 2000 to 2005.

For six years, I have been coaching Finland's Football Association development female teams and every year, they end up in a six-team tournament, there are in total like 100 based young female players in Finland.

In the year 2018, my team emerged as the runners-up and at least, a total number of six players were selected into the female national side.

If employed, what are the things you are going to do for Nigerian female football and that is particularly towards the grassroots level? Are we going to see more homes-based players in the Falcons?

This is such a huge question but I will answer in the best possible way. I am very good in organizing things and I have good experience of that working for five years as the sporting director at Pallokissat.

The main thing in Nigeria is to find the system to find the best potentials in female football and then develop them furthermore to become the best players on the international level. 

I have vast knowledge in female football which I will translate into developing female football in Nigeria. I am aware that you have the local female league in Nigeria, I will start a developmental program by watching the local league to discover new talented players that will be useful to the Nigerian national team.

I hope to have a national team made up of foreign based players and the local players from the female league. This blend of the locally based players and the foreign based players will project a National team of pride in Africa and in the world.

I will monitor all the foreign based players and have a close relationship with their activities in their various clubs abroad.

I have vast knowledge of Nigerian female players abroad based on their mentality to win games and ready to learn, their physical strength, their individual skills and talents after watching them in their various clubs.

With the population of Nigeria so large unlike that of Finland, we will have to do things in different ways. We should have under-14, u-15 and u-16 teams in each of the 36 states in Nigeria.

There will also be tournaments for each state team in different categories and then groom the best potentials from those competitions. There should even be competitions for the under-13 teams also at state level.

The best players discovered at these tournaments should be inculcated into the various female national teams. It is going to be a huge process and I suppose it would take between three and four years to implement fully.

But it will guarantee that the best players for the various female national teams in Nigeria will be found. This is a very long topic and should be answered with more time.

Also, at the grassroots level for the clubs, working with the young girls is very important and should be developed. I don't mean financial support alone, creating an enabling environment for the players and developing the coaches should come into place.

The Super Falcons are arguably the greatest country in Africa when it comes to female football, having won the highest number of trophies. But on the world stage, they have achieved little or nothing. What are you going to do to make Nigeria super-powers on the global stage?

It is true that Nigeria have been very successful in Africa when it comes to female football. And I must say again that you just asked me an intelligent question about how to make them one of the best in the world.

The achievement of the Super Falcons in Africa is already a strong basis for us to build on. We have to create our own way of playing which will be the attacking style of football.

But of course, while attacking, we will be very active also in defending, we have to press high, we have to reach the ball immediately at all times, trying to retrieve the ball as soon as our opponents get it.

We have to aggressive, we have to tackle very well and work hard and not as individuals but as a team, we have to build the collective pressing system where everybody will be involved.

Everybody has to be collective to fall back, defend and press well in trying to get the ball back, we need to have attacking tactics where we can utilize our athleticism and sporting activities.

We have to be brave, expectant and surprising when penetrating our opponents behind the last line and creating good goal-scoring chances while also converting most of the opportunities.

We already know about your interest in coaching the Super Falcons. What do you think will stand you out among other applicants for the job and what have you done towards landing it?

I have done my UEFA A coaching license and that was five years ago at professional clubs and the Association in Finland with the best female players. I have been very successful while creating the system to develop young female players.

And also to implement tactics for the best Finnish teams, I have valuable experience of working with the best female players in Finland, I have been coaching for 30 years now, so I know very much about tactics evolution.

I have seen the huge development in female football, I know where it comes from and know where it is going to. Also, I already submitted my application/resume to the NFF through their official e-mail platform and I am waiting for their acknowledgment.
