July 10, 201901379



The lineup of the Super Eagles for their quarter final game against Bafana Bafana of South Africa has been exclusively revealed to the editorial team of Owngoalnigeria.com.

This Trick Brings Me 3,980,000 Naira A Month!

As reported by this portal yesterday coach of the team Gernot Rohr maintained the 4-3-3 system that turns into a 4-2-3-1 when they are defending. However he has made two changes to the starting lineup.

Jamilu Collins is back in the squad and will play his first game after recovering fully from the groin injury that has kept him out of the team. He will take the place of Ola Aina in defence.

Aina is the only change in the back four with the trio of William Troost-Ekong, Kenneth Omeruo and Chidozie Awaziem keeping their spots in front of goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi.

In midfield, Rohr maintained same trio with Wilfred Ndidi playing as the defensive midfielder and Oghenekaro Etebo will occupy the central midfield role just behind Alex Iwobi who will once again play in the number 10.
In attack, Moses Simon who started in the win over Cameroon in the round of 16 makes way for the man who substituted him in the game in Samuel Chukwueze who will operate from the right with captain Ahmed Musa keeping his spot on the left.

Odion Ighalo who is the joint top scorer of the tournament with three goals will be hoping for more of the same like the brace he got against Cameroon in the last game.

Chidozie Awaziem

soetanoreoluwa:
South Africa Coach Baxter Reveals Plans To Stop Penalty Box Predator Ighalo



South Africa coach Stuart Baxter has claimed that Bafana Bafana defenders will not man-mark Odion Ighalo when they face Nigeria in Wednesday evening's Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinal clash in Cairo.

The former Watford striker has been Nigeria's most influential player at the ongoing tournament, having a hand in four (3 goals, 1 assists) of the five goals scored by the three-time African champions.

And Baxter has revealed that one of the ways to nullify Ighalo's threat is simply to cut off supply to the Super Eagles number 9.

''We don’t make individual plans for players in terms of man marking. We would solve that as a team,'' Baxter said.

''We would make it difficult for them (Nigeria) to play quality balls to their strikers and would defend like we normally defend.

''That is part of the ways you can make individual strategies to certain players. Being a central striker, Ighalo will fall into the back four as a unit, and we’ll screen the midfield which will make it difficult for him.''

Ighalo specializes in scoring from inside the penalty area and all his international goals have come from inside the box with the exception of his opener in a 4-0 win vs Cameroon in September 2017.

I put team 2000 and 1998 in parentheses because they are better than the team of 2004. Not because they are worse

Understand me please. The achievements of the team from 1994-2004 dwarves the achievement of the team from 2016 (when Rohr took over)

Although, the team of now is still in contention to enter the Semi-final and I believe they would do so, yet they have not won anything. No medal (not even the bronze) but they are getting there

darkelf:
I am of the opinion that winning this AFCON would make it easier for us to convince the really good foreign born lads to play for us thereafter

darkelf:
Seconded

ChrisKels:
Yeye move, he has just consolidated his place in the U23s, with this move he should concentrate on proving himself, he shouldn't dream of super eagles from there. We have better players in his position already. I hope Ademola joins soon.

TheSuperNerd:
When I was in Joebie's room, I saw this exact fixture prediction map. He tipped Cameroun to knock Nigeria out. Tips Algeria to knock out Egypt and so on....

So this is definitely Joebie's

Throwback

I remember Olofinjana was the Mikel Agu of this team

What was more impressive was Kanu's pass and not really Utaka's goal. Do we have players that can pass like that now?

Udeze was also another carpenter. Back then Enyeama hadn't unleashed

Back then when I was still quite optimistic.

darkelf:
WE AIN'T PAST THE QUARTERS YET BRO

lexyman:
don't be in a rush ...

darkelf:
One of the reasons I fear for our team.

If it gets to Penalties, Akpeyi would be too scared to even make a dive

The only penalty he will catch is the one shot straight to the middle because that's where he'll be ; rooted at the spot too scared to dive

Odunayaw:
You're like me awaiting their downfall?
