it's okay.

what I meant was that for the club to give him the captain arm band means they regard him in high esteem...they see him as a player with so much influence and motivation both in the field and in the dressing room....

we need to start grooming coaches too...not just players...
I was happy recently when I read Osaze desire to go into coaching...and he will be starting that in Europe.

how many of our ex internationals are really good coaches...that can be recommended to European clubs.

not a bad thing we see Mikel grow to become an assistant coach in an English team someday.... he will help him stay close to his family, provide for the family after retirement and also contribute to Nigeria's progress in the future...


I see that he will be a good manager...
who says Middlesbrough won't gain promotion come next season...

I will like it if he stays there and help the team...they really respect him.

just remember John Terry who choosed to go to Aston Villa and today he is a member of their back room staff....

mikel needs to start thinking of the future...he has virtually won all competition in the English football..he is approaching the time he needs to give back to the system

We'll have a conversation with my people and see what comes up. I have a few options here and there, there's a lot of options, you always have to pick the right one and the way you play and what you want to achieve,

"I still want to win trophies, I'll go somewhere where the players, the team, the fans, the staff, want to win."

he's obviously still ambitious, I love his spirit only if other Nigerian players can think like this, ambition before money

andrew444:
See as the money small

No wonder club football is the ultimate

I swear e too small, how will players and officials share this? CAF needs to source for bigger and better sponsors the prize money is too small

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that a player on the books of Premier League champions Manchester City recently overhead Flying Eagles officials discussing about dropping players invited to the training camp who refused to grease the palms of the coaching staff.

The Flying Eagles officials talked freely despite the presence of the midfielder as they didn't know he understood vernacular perfectly because of his British accent.

The officials were arguing among themselves about the players to drop from the roster for refusing to bribe the coaches, and they called out the names of the players in that category.

Apart from the issue of bribery, on one or two occasions at a team meal in the evening, the foreign-born players were shell-shocked over the fact that the Flying Eagles coaches freely joked about the Nigerian-born players' ages.

Some of the Nigerian-born players admitted that they were playing with their 'football ages', the foreign-born players were surprised this could happen in 2019 and they should not celebrate if they win the World Cup in Poland.

The Nigerian-born players kept asking the foreign-born ones if the ages stated on their passports were their real ages which amused them.


this allnigeriasoccer site seem they have a beef with our u20 coach. this is written with so much bitterness hahahahahahahahahahaha

which kain market woman gist be this? what the heck is foreign born abi Nigerian born? Nigerian is Nigerian

Man City, Everton & Watford Starlets Depart Nigeria U20 Training Camp After Bad Treatment By Coaches; Agent Emeka Ezeala's Son Loitering Around

Published: May 09, 2019


Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that four talented English-based youngsters have voluntarily departed the Flying Eagles' Monarch Hotel in Bad Gogging, Germany, despite the fact that the Flying Eagles chief coach Paul Aigbogun has yet to announce his 21-man roster for the World Cup in Poland. 


While Everton winger Korede Adedoyin, Manchester City midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Shelley Community FC's Mashkur Tagwai left this morning, Watford wonderkid Jayden Bennetts is believed to be on his way back to England. 


Daniel Toma, who plays for a club affiliated with West Ham Academy, is leaving the training camp tomorrow. 


The five players decided to decamp themselves after they were badly treated by coaches as they felt they were not given the chance to play in any of the three friendlies and don't look to be in the plans of Aigbogun for the U20 World Cup.


There are suggestions that some players are bribing the coaches to guarantee their names being included on the 21-man roster and this does not come as a surprise as this website can confirm one hundred percent that the coaches were bribed for names to be included in the U20 AFCON squad. 


At that time, back in January, a roster spot costs approximately US$5,600 or two million Naira in Nigerian currency. 


Meanwhile, Ikenna Malcolm Ezeala, who is the son of Emeka Ezeala, the agent that arranged the Flying Eagles training camp in Germany has been seen loitering around in camp even though he is unlikely to make the squad list for the World Cup. 


The former Bayern Munich youth-teamer and Austria U16 international is costing Nigerian tax payers money as he is surplus to requirements, and should be sent packing.

17 year old Plateau United midfielder Mohammed Zulkifilu.

One of the players expected to make the team.. Utility player..

https://i0.wp.com/owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/IMG_5899.jpg?resize=696%2C928

so the 'too young to play' that were dropped how old are they? 12?

TheGoodJoe:
Not true. Is the open check book Bernardo Silva, Sane Gundogan? Is it Stones, Laporte or Walker? These were no Stella names. What of Gabriel Jesus? We did not go big in the market compared to buys like Van Dijk, Keita, Salah, Mane, Firmino. The gulf in clout is far ahead. Guardiola is even cash strapped because of the inflation in market. He wanted the like Fred, Neves, Sanchez, De Jong, Bonucci, Jorginho and others but lost in securing those players because we do not run a open checkbook policy contrary to your claims.

Look at Manchester United buying Sanchez, Lukaku, Matic, Pogba.

Guardiola did not buy his players that way. He deserves respect but unfortunately, people will continue downplaying his impact because of their bias.

Pep is a great coach no doubt anybody saying other wise I'd just saying it for bants or doesn't know football, but those names you mentioned there are expensive buys o aside Mane and Firmino the rest dey expensive

Many things are wrong in this Present Barca system.....This team are full of old Men....Suarez and coutinho are finished....Kloop Outclassed Valverde Barcelona players hardly pressed nor played the Ball outside their Box this team no longer plays high pressing football even Against Real Betis we were poor they pressed us till we came back into Our half same thing happened today..Busquets need to leave or Retire its very clear that games like this need physical strength which Barca lacked that is why EPL also gives liverpool an advantage to that...the players were just falling down we really need Neymar Back so as the work done by Messi would be shared

I know it's you, come out from the veil we won't beat you

Humility017:
Lol.... dull fellows
berti vogts was the worst foreign coach ever.
even Germany laughed at US for hiring an unknow coach.... that man deceived us with his German nationality and skin color

huh, Berti Vogt unknown? the man who won Euro 96 for them?

Earthquake3:
He said it was the U17 team and the bribe was asked 4 months ago

About the Alaba case, many reputable sources have reported it, they can't all be lying?

they've all been carrying same news, no quote from Alaba himself, I'm sure that news is fake

ChrisKels:
Loving Ndidi's composure under pressure. No one keeps the shape of a team more than he does, his on/off the ball movement and positioning have been wow. The less said about his neat tackles, the better. His passes, clinical

yielding to Lord Rodgers drilling

charlesemeka85:
Which how well? If they were as good as the crook made us believe they will still be balling competitively now in decent leagues? I will always maintain it that keshi's truimph at afcon 2013 was just mere luck and determination from the players. Keshi was the most corrupt coach who have ever tinkered the senior national team and such allegation is not only here in 9ja also from when he coach Togo and Mali. I wasn't and will never be among does who his shortlived success blinded their sense of reasoning and judgment

@goodjoe

ha, you get concrete evidence? this one you dey call am crook. Keshi na Nigerian football Legend o, still our best coach for the past twenty years or so

Ofoborh on the bench for Bournemouth against Spurs.

season is coming to an end, Bournemouth don't have anything to play for again, so i guess they can afford to give him a few min

This might just be our time to win this under 20 world cup.
We are going in with a pool of extraordinary talent! Oh my Gosh!!

TheGoodJoe:
No quotes? Not believing until I quoted words from Alaba.

me too

Nigeria will face Zimbabwe and Senegal to prepare for their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) campaign.
On June 2, Gernot Rohr's men will start their pre-Afcon camp in Asaba where they will take on Zimbabwe at the Stephen Keshi Stadium on June 8.
A day later, they will depart Nigeria for Ismaila, Egypt for their final camp ahead of the tournament.
Their last preparatory game will be against Senegal, billed for the Ismailia Stadium on June 16.
“We have sealed the matches with the Warriors of Zimbabwe and the Lions of Teranga and these are two matches we are really looking forward to,” Amaju Pinnick said in a statement to the media.
“There cannot possibly be a better way to get into the Afcon spirit than playing the number one ranked team in Africa just before the finals begin.”

Title contenders Manchester City and Liverpool target 19-year-old Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze

I say go to Liverpool, at least he go play and I think they'll really need him, a team that has Origi and Chamberlain, Samu has a big chance there

Taiye na egbon o, lol

Khaytunechi:
A team had a man advantage and introduced an attacking player (because they could afford the luxury of a man advantage),, were they supposed to play worse??

Kante has been shifted from his role and given a more advanced role at Chelsea,, does that make him less of the player he is?? Just get off this boy's back and let him do what he can do best instead of raising a very false and unnecessary alarm like we are talking of a greenhorn player here.. Ndidi has paid his dues and getting subbed off at HT doesn't mean his position in that team is under any threat.. Rogers won't even want to shoot himself in the head as it will be a tactical suicide to undermine Ndidi's contribution to that his team's setup..

no be the same Rodgers wey dey give Henderson shirt? that one that can't pass to save his life

ChrisKels:
Good, so tell me, how would u know there were no better players since he decided to limit his scouting to Lagos? What happened to his 2013 format that birthed our best U17 crop? U dont expect a poor 15/16year old kid from Akwa Ibom, Enugu, PH, Owerri, Aba, Asaba, Umuahia, Onitsha etc to embark on a journey to far away Lagos, do you? U know the cost, the dangers and all. Last time Manu tested success he had camps in almost all the 6goeoolotical zones for proximity purpose, hence giving every kid a chance. How many Academies did he visit outside Lagos abi Nigeria revolves around Lagos? Mind u dis isnt about tribe or religion buh, zone, hence even the Igbo/igboid names u see on his list were not brought up in the SE buh Lagos and its environs. He picked most of his players from Lagos Academies and I even read an Academy has about five of their players in that team. This aint just laziness, Manu is on something. Bros there are cities in Nigeria that u dont joke with bkus they are always there to provide us with abundant quality talents; Jos, Owerri, Enugu, Asaba, Benin, Lagos, Kaduna are the primary cities, hence they deserve some sort of special attentions. From history, naijas best talents have always come from these cities, no disrespect to other cities.



That aside, how do u xplain the treatment he meted on a boy who left a tourney with England u16 for this AYC? Bkus Manu knew there would be no money to make on him, he decided to bench him to display his boys to the scouts for his own selfish interests, knowing full well that we are on a heated battle with the English FA for his services. Not even a minute of a game time to captie him and give him that Sense of belonging.

hmmmmm, good points tho

Joebie:
Lol. How do u know there were better players from those zones?

Deputy chief scout.

forgiveness:
Another average analyses.

Levante used 3-4-1-2 formation mostly this season. I don't need to explain about the circumstances.

Be more objective and trustful, and stop peddling half truth.

Nevertheless, I am not insinuating that Moses is having a wonderful season but be a little bit objective.

even when he was in a lowly Belgian league his statistics no dey burst head, virtually all our attacking players are either average or below

Khaytunechi:
I asked a straightforward question and instead of a straightforward answer, it was still Ndidi's limited buildup yen yen that you gave as answer. Well done sah.

Would the coach have removed him if Arsenal were still 11 on the field despite his supposed weakness?? Be playing down the nigga's strength while over emphasizing his weakness.

people argue like there's an award for the best 'arguer' I find it laughable that some people think the coach is lying just because it's against their own narrative, why would it be hard for Rodgers to say 'I had to take him off and bring in an attacker so we could pile more pressure on arsenal as they have been weakened by a red card'? people just like to argue without any reason

femianski:
iwobi under attack on twitter for his baby like shots and finishing

he should have buried that ball, that guy sef I tire for am. make arsenal buy better wingers for summer

krattoss:
that one was a mere friendly.. if a player decides not to turn up for international duty cos of club commitment,he should as well be snubbed by the national team gaffer in subsequent matches to come.

the national team have the right to report such club to FIFA

Joebie:
Captain Omeruo is WhoScored’s MOTM

also sofascores man of the match. he's really doing good for himself in Spain, I expect him to start along with Ekong at the AFCON

Samu listed in the flying eagles 31-man provisional squad. so i guess that settles it, he's going for the U-21 world cup and not nations cup

Semi Ajayi's Rotherham relegated from the English Championship

The way people die in Nigeria is pathetic, the life of a goat is more valuable than a human life in my country

So if Kanu was 46 then how old is now?
