The question is: Who poses more threat. Messi or Ronaldo? Explain why four to five defenders are more often than not, assigned to tackle Messi but not Ronaldo.

This is not true bro, how will you be serious about this? 4-5 defenders assigned to tackle Messi? If that is happening, other Barca players would be finding it much more easier to score

Ronaldo of course. he's proven that over and over again.
Reasons.

1. He's got a very strong weaker foot which can make him punish opponents at any time.
2. Unbelievable jump power (Evra can relate) and terrific headers!
3. He plays long range shots
4. Unbelievable speed
5. Good positioning(reasons why he has a couple of tap in goals.... only wise forwards can utilize that)

For those that said defenders prepare more for Messi, all these Ronaldo's qualities are enough to scare defenders more. Imagine Ronaldo in the same situation against Barça in the last semi final game at anfield, it should have ended in tears

eni4real:
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Cyprus, Estonia, Faroes Island, Armenia, Andorra, Latvia, San Marino, Kosovo, Malta, etc really suffered in this hand of this goal Machine

I prefer his club goals tho!!!

Panama, Cultural Leonesa, Haiti,etc

Binikingdowm:


Most if not 80% of his goals are penalty and tap in, he's so overrated scoring against mediocre teams

are you for real? 80% of his total goals is around 550. please get your facts right before you conclude

Who in his right senses will pick Nigeria over England

The chance of being called up for a long time is there, the chance of winning a trophy (at least AFCON) is stronger. I'm sure Victor Moses didnt regret his decision

Don't worry, that your head that is screwed on England will soon be "unscrewed off" England when you have 20 appearances in 8years

Slavia Prague striker, Peter Olayinka, says he had a rough beginning as a young aspiring footballer.

The new Super Eagles invitee explained that he had little parental support, adding that his father didn’t think a career in football was possible.

“At first my dad didn’t support me,” he told Brilla FM.

According to him, things were tough to the extent that he could barely get food to eat before going for practice.

He said, “I was on the streets for a very long time, things weren’t easy. I suffered mostly growing up; things were difficult.

“I would drink garri and kuli-kuli or go on an empty stomach after practice. But I kept my focus and would pray for a breakthrough.

“Later he noticed I could make a living from it and he became my number one fan. He bought me playing kits and my boots.”

The 23-year-old is expected to make his debut for Nigeria on October 13 against Brazil at the National Stadium in Singapore.

Olayinka recently hit target against Inter Milan in the Champions League to become the first Nigerian to score on his Champions League debut since Yakubu Aiyegbeni’s hat-trick for Maccabi Haifa against Olympiakos in September 2002.

congrats, but all these stories aren't touching enough, a lot of average Nigerians drink garri with kulikuli while growing up. besides you haven't gotten to the limelight of your career, its the first time I'm hearing this name

The Argentine believes that the Portuguese's presence gave star quality to the league and El Clasico while he is not targeting more Ballon d'Or glory
Barcelona star Lionel Messi has admitted that he wanted Cristiano Ronaldo to stay with Real Madrid.

The pair have set the standard for individual performances over the course of the last decade, setting rafts of scoring records and dominating individual awards over that period.

The rivalry hit its peak when the pair went toe-to-toe for the two Clasico rivals, though Ronaldo departed Spain in the summer of 2018 to move to Juventus.
Messi regrets his rival’s decision and says that the presence of the Portugal international used to add an extra spice to the match.

“I wanted him to continue with Real Madrid,” Messi told RAC1. “He gave a plus to the rivalry in the Clasico and La Liga.

“Real Madrid will continue to challenge because they have very good players, but I already said that the team was going to feel his loss for what he meant and that the squad would notice. But they have plenty of players to allow them to fight for every title and they have a lot of history.”

Despite a glittering array of prizes picked up throughout his career, Messi is not without regrets – most notably the Champions League semi-final exit to Liverpool last season, when they allowed their opponents to overcome a 3-0 first-leg deficit.

“The Liverpool thing was our fault,” he said, defending head coach Ernesto Valverde, who came under pressure after that defeat that has never truly lifted. “It came after the Roma incident. We got a mental block as the Rome defeat came to mind.

“We got worse and worse and it wasn’t because of the coach.

“The club decided that he should continue and I think that for everyone it was a joy because we support him and love him, like Luis Enrique or the coaches who came before him.”

Meanwhile, Messi, who recently won the FIFA Best Male Player award for the 2018-19 season, is not targeting a record sixth Ballon d’Or, which would edge him ahead of Ronaldo in that regard.

“It wouldn’t be a disappointment not to win it,” he said. “These awards are nice recognition, but for me they were never a priority, I would be more disappointed to spend another year without winning the Champions League - it's been five years since we’ve done it.”

Failed career. Tufiakwa

if he had a failed career, then we have very very few players (past and present) with average football career, let alone a successful one

Danke Basti, Deutsh fubal meister!

Ayoleeboy007:
This is not the right time to start doing useless interview, Nigeria players are too forward, few goals in league 1 and he is already talking about his past like a big star b4 he said he was hawking now na another story, the same thing iheanacho was doing every week when he score a tap in until pep got angry and send him away, I know its not easy but this is the right time to put his head down and work harder than ever when u get a golden boot u can now talk anything.

looooolz

beresponsible:
Very touching and inspiring. Lazy youth take note apart from laptop and betnaija just work on something you are good and passionate about. The Almighty has a way of spreading blessings.

lol, funny but true, we need to hustle the right way so as to attract God's blessings

Against all odds, the 20-year-old struggled to fight his way to the top
Lille forward Victor Osimhen said growing up in Olusosun area of Lagos State was a survival quest for him and his family.

The Nigeria international recounted his growth in the south-western part of the country with several experiences that have moulded him into the player he is at the moment.

The 2015 Fifa U17 World Cup winner disclosed how tough it was for his family when he lost his mother at a young age with each of siblings picking up different hustles on the street for survival.

"I lost my mom in October, I do not even remember the year. I was small. Three months later, my father lost his job. It was very hard for our family," Osimhen told France Footbal l.

"My brother sold sports newspapers, my sister, oranges in the street and me, bottled water in Lagos in the middle of the traffic. We have to survive so we stick together.

"In the evening, we were all together and we gathered the money on the table. We gave everything to our big sister and she made food and organized everything.

"Part of my life has been a struggle to survive. But that's all I am today in the end. It's hard to classify all but each event has created my personality. "

Osimhen, who is currently the top scorer in the French top-flight with six goals in eight games this season, revealed how tough growing up around Olusosun area of Lagos was for him.

"Where I grew up, people live on the other side of an open dump. With my friends, we went there every Friday or Sunday to find crampons and shoes. We stayed there for a long time. It was funny! We saw it as a game but when you think about it... It was always a fight. We were looking for crampons," he continued.

"Sometimes you see, you found yourself with a Nike on the right foot and then you start looking for the other foot ... And finally, you find the left foot and it's a Reebok! My sister patched everything up and it was good. It was survival."

Lol, But like seriously I'll advice you against it for now, what will be will be afterwards.

krissconnect:
There's this lady who has her office in the same market with mine. I noticed she responds interestingly each time i stare at her lustfully, and just recently we started greeting each other whenever i walk past her office.

I am 23 and she should be around 26yrs if am not mistaking. Please i want to advance my game towards her, but am not sure if she might be offended i look younger.

Pls how do i go about this?

LOOLZ, KRISS THE FRAUD!!!!!!!!!! FACE THE MARKET OGA

I knew Niger should be the largest, imagine travelling for 8 hours within one town to anoher in a state.

vivypretty:
is payment made in dollars or Naira?

Payment is debitted in dollars from your account

vivypretty:
when you finally get one, I would like to know how you went about it and if the deliver exactly what you asked for.
I need one too.

They do deliver exactly what you order for, the two challenges are 1. time (it might take up to 2weeks after payment before you phne arrives). 2. spare parts for many of those phones are not easy to come by in Nigeria,so you might have to order for them too.

This thread will be very helpful to me in the next few years....weldon O.P you're doing a very good job .

Officialgarri:

The Premier League's joint-top scorer is keeping the door open to play for his parent's home country despite already lining up in a Three Lions shirt
Chelsea striker and Premier League scoring leader Tammy Abraham has left the door open to joining up with the Nigeria national team, leaving England insecure over his future.

Gareth Southgate will be sweating on losing the player he called up in November 2017, but has still only played in friendly matches, which leaves Abraham the option to switch national teams allegiances.

The 21-year-old was born in London but he qualifies for the Super Eagles through paternal lineage. The Premier League's joint-top scorer left the door open to Nigeria after he stole headlines with a hat-trick in a 5-2 win away to Wolves.
"Yes, I have heard the talk. I have not really been focused on that yet," Abraham said at Molineux Stadium. "I think when the time comes, the times comes. It is about focusing on Chelsea and hopefully scoring goals and getting victories.

"We never know. You can never say never, whatever comes first really. I just have to keep full focus on Chelsea. It has been a good day at the office for the boys and me. Coming here is never easy. We played well, thankfully, I scored three and we got the three points."

Chelsea's 11 league goals have all come from homegrown players like Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori also got on the scoresheet in the midlands.

The trio walked off the pitch arm-in-arm on Saturday as Abraham held onto the match ball after he became the youngest Chelsea player to score a hat-trick. However, the homegrown star's Chelsea dream may not have come to fruition as he nearly moved to Wolves in January after the Blues accepted a £25 million ($31m) offer.

Abraham is grateful for the interest Wolves showed but is glad he has remained in west London to see the new manager Frank Lampard offer him a chance.

"A team like Wolves are a great side and I was always honoured to hear that news," Abraham added. "My dream was to always be at Chelsea, play at Chelsea and right now I am living the dream. I am always a player who believed in myself.

"I had a rough patch after what I went through against Liverpool. I always believed I would come through it and get on top of it. The boys have always been there to support me and have created the chances. It is just about me being in the right place at the right time.

"I am delighted to be scoring goals for a team I have grown up loving and have always wanted to play for. It is just an amazing feeling. I just have to keep this going and we hopefully keep getting wins as well. That’s the most important thing."
