If Napoli finally win this league the type of love Osimhen will receive will be very crazy

Mujtahida:
Abeg drop Robben or Rooney. They can look like 50 years and that counts for nothing because:
1. There is no culture of age cheating in both countries. Both countries started playing football over a hundred years ago. I challenge you to mention two instances of age cheating in age grade competitions in both countries. I no dey for this sanctimonious preachments.

2. As a corollary to the first or rather the predictive factor for the first, both countries capture data at birth. So no room for age cheating. Even if you want to do it, you can't do it. The system will weed you out.

Is that the same with Nigeria? Don't we know in the general sense what a 17 or 18 year old in Nigeria looks like? Did you see Iheanacho and Victor Osimhen's set of U - 17? Compare them with the Chrisantus or 2009 u-20 set. Can't you see that Osimhen and Iheanacho set are within the age bracket?

I looked at this Agbalaka and I strongly suspect he's not less than 20. If you have evidence that my suspicion is unfounded, bring it. If not, leave me with my doubt.
people like Kome are always quick to remind us that Osimhen Iheanacho could have lied about their ages, no need for long talk people will always doubt the age of any Nigerian player which is very sad

before Ronaldinho and Messi where was Barcelonahuh

Kvara and Osimhen can be the players that will ensure Napoli becomes an European Heavy weight... Yes Napoli playing UCL makes them bigger than barca,man United or even inter,milan and juve for the 2022/2023 season..

Napoli is already likely to win Seria A League and qualify for next season's UEFA champion league automatically.
weytin be this?

lakaka has been having injury problems this season since he left chelsea. He'd been bossing the serie A beforehand, it's why chelsea forked out 90m+ for him, only for him to flop terribly as he did with man utd.
80 year old Dzeko still starts games and scoring winning goals for inter, dzeko that won't ordinarily start for Brighton.

Players have it easy in serie a cuz the pace of the game there is much slower, there's no intensity.
Lukaku in the epl before he joined Chelsea: 17,15,10,18,25,16,12 absolutely a big epl flop

Yes you absolutely can.

Because football is a very short term career.

As a recruitment head you will come across literally thousands of so called promising players. If they cannot show the promise, there is no time to waste you simply look for those that are showing it.

If in the future he starts to show his promise, then you can go back to him.

But you’re always looking forward not much backwards, this is the harsh reality of football ⚽.
no football coach/agent/scout will write off an 18 years old who was the best in his age group just 2 years earlier. Bring an example if you have any

truth be told osimhen is one player that shut me up after I wrote him off during his stint at Wolfsburg

Osimhen is the real definition of “never say never”. He’s resilience and strong will coupled with hard work and belief catapulted him to where he is today

Dude turned me from a doubter to a believer/fan who is even clamoring and fighting man united English fans on Twitter and fb who prefers kane at united next season instead of the Napoli hit man

Chriskel hv called me out severally here reminding me of how I never rated osimhen then which I openly admitted because there is no shame in absorbing the truth when it’s obvious

That’s the same way I will owe up to my shit if nwakali eventually turns out for the barca,Madrid,Bayern, United of this world in or atleast make a name in any of the top 7 leagues in europe in the nearest future
how can you write off an 18years old who is just starting his career and getting very little game time? I’ll rather question your football knowledge and not the player’s ability

You may dismiss me

But in my little football experience it's not always talent and ability but MENTALITY that is the core component for success.

Within mentality is humility, resilience, diligence, discipline, quest to improve and rise , overcome and overtake.

That's what VO is he was very weak technically and his football ⚽ intelligence near zero at Wolfsburg. But he realised, l got a lot to learn, he humbled himself with a never say die determination, he improved ,he Learned, he adapted, he pushed himself, he was never content ,he wanted more and has ARISEN. There is no discussion about top strikers without his name in the mix.

KC remained he has got to where he wanted beyond his wildest dreams. When he moved to Leicester he got £2.5 million in the bank 🏦 imagine what exchange rate then it was £1 to 250 Naira ( land and houses werva lot cheaper cement too) He was content football ⚽ became a pass time without any passion to RISE and make a name he has made the £££ ,nuttin remain, I have Arrived.

Isaac Success the waste Man was even worse big money enter hand ,brain scatter he even became over weight. Fighting 3 olosho in a 5 star hotel ,drunk and refusing to pay for services rendered.

Kelechi in a nutshell is a guy who began to celebrate before the goal was in the net . Living the lifestyle without actually being successful. He didn't improve he believed the hype his own and many who have hailed him here , Midfield maestro numero one, inside bottom of Segundo division. He has had too much opportunity but nothing to show.

Nwakali is a brilliant asset when it comes to corner kicks. He possesses a direct threat from it due to his accuracy.

He is also good at free kicks too.

Nwakali has the ability of picking offensive team mates in offensive areas with through balls.

He is also good with short combinative passes.

However, his long balls are his best attributes.
he’s not good at free kicks please, how many does he have in his career? One or two

I repeat, Rodgers is tactically a genius but his bias and sentiments holds him back. That has been my point and it has not changed. His sentiments hinders him of making the best of his genuine brilliant understanding of the game of football.

I wouldn't want to b seen as if I'm biased towards foreign borns because I'm not,they r all Nigerians even though some of them rejects us ,I didn't want to say much ,cos I consider it sensitive .

Nevertheless ,here r few things.
We(super eagles true fans) want a never say die Nigeria attitude returned to d team.
That fighting spirit that saw us came back from 2 goals down against Brazil n won d March at Olympic semi finals ,d same happens against Argentina at d Olympic final,and Tunisia '94 final against Zambia .

We want that passion that Sunday Olise even though he was sick but seing that we were losing against Senegal had to took d risk n asked d coach to sub him in,he went in n helped d team to win d game.

We want quality talents that can b able to compete at the highest level ,against top opposition .
We should b aiming to battle against d likes of Netherlands ,Belgium ,England ,Portugal and Croatia without being afraid of losing but to win.
We should also b able to give the likes of Brazil,France ,Germany ,Argentina and Italy a run for their money .
These r d things that comes to my mind first whenever I want to weigh and consider a player for d SEs,can he compete at d highest level?
We want players that is ready to give their all and win us trophies not just to participate .only Osimhen n very few others have this traits now.

So some of these players and the ones u keep suggesting can't give us these.

We also want a defined pattern which we were known 4 returned ,this is d work of a coach anyway .

I'm not in anyway against professionalism but there r certain thins that our home grown can take from d NFF n still performed which d foreign grown can't,
for instance they said that d nff asked the u-20 foreign players to pay 4 their flight tickets n get refund after,but one of d foreign grown refused to come because of this.
I'm not with d nff but d home grown foreign players would gladly pay 4 d flight ticket to make sure he honored d call.
lol, never say die una, for every one Oliseh there’s 10 Okocha. A player that will give his all will do that irrespective of where they are born. What is supreme is a player with excellent abilities plus a very good coach then maybe we wouldn’t have to be coming from 3-1 down against Brazil or concede twice to Argentina or going down by 2 goals at home against Cameroon. All those qualities you mention are things that barely matter in football. That your paying ticket is a lie even if it’s true why do you think local players can’t do it? Why did you think Oliseh almost beat the then sport minister in Mali? If not for money, abeg!!!!

It's too easy to score in Serie A. The level of the league is low. If you have the physique you are dominant. As was Lukaku. The true top player of Napoli is not Osimhen. The top player is Kvaratskhelia.
