Zambia List 13 Things To Do To Overcome Nigeria In Uyo

https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/tp5-16.jpg


It’s less than three weeks to the all-important 2018 World Cup qualifying game between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and the Chipolopolo of Zambia at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on october 7, 2017.

The Zambians are not leaving any stone unturned in a bid to win the game and thus avenge the 2-1 home loss they suffered on Matchday 1 while also nicking the sole ticket to Russia.

A Zambian journalist, simply identified by the initials RW and writing in the Zambian Observer , has therefore made a checklist of the 13 things Zambia must do to defeat Nigeria in October.

https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Super-Eagles-of-Nigeria.jpg


See if you agree with him…


1. We should respect Nigeria more than we did in the first half, but not fear them, no surrender, no retreat, no defeat.

2. Use attack-minded 4-5-1 or 4-4-2, remember Nigeria can sit back if they wish, winning is our only option.

3. Don’t allow them to shoot, we should close in and frustrate. They can score from range, place goals that outstretch the keepers, hit volleys and score from set pieces, we know that.

4. Long searching balls will be less effective, the Nigerian centre backs are physical and solid.

5. Tactically designate a marker for Victor Moses.

https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Zambia-1-400x225.jpg


6. Recall Fwayo Tembo, he can beat the Nigerian defenders, he gave Nigeria problems in our home fixture.

7. Exploit the flanks with options of Fashion Sakala, Augustine Mulenga or Fwayo Tembo.

8. Enoch Mwepu and Kondwani Mtonga should solidify their partnership, that’s our engine against Nigeria.

9. Through balls will work well for Patson Daka’s speed better than high balls.

10. When we manage to kill the game, Lungu Chisamba can come in to hold the ball and invite fouls.

11. Get a better jersey for the boys, they are toiling and sacrificing and deserve a better jersey than that 4th grade stripe.

12. Wedson Nyirenda should continue wearing the light blue jacket and running in the opposite direction when we score, it’s or new “luck white shirt”.

13. Last but most importantly, Pray.

Onyekuru Loses Coach As Anderlecht Sack Weiler


https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Anderlecht-.jpg


Super Eagles striker Henry Onyekuru’s coach at Anderlecht, Rene Weiler, has been sacked, the Belgian club announced in a statement on Monday.

Weiler took charge at Anderlecht after a two-year spell with German Bundesliga 1. side, FC Nürnberg in 2016.

Former Switzerland international Weiler won 36, drew 16 and lost 44 of his 96 matches in charge of Anderlecht.

Onyekuru, who has scored three goals in six appearances, will now receive instructions from Thomas Binggeli, who will be assisted by Nicolas Frutos and David Sesa temporarily.

The 20-year-old Onyekuru is on a season-long loan deal from Everton.

Binggeli’s first game in charge of the team will be against Westerlo in the Belgian Cup game before their UEFA Champions League clash against Scottish side, Celtic.

Anderlecht are ninth in the Belgian topflight division with nine points from seven games.

A statement on Anderlecht’s official website thanked Weiler who guided the club to their 34th league title last season – “for his commitment, his services and his professionalism”.

Wolfsburg sack manager after four matches

Wolfsburg have announced they have sacked head coach Andries Jonker after just four league games this season.
Ads by Kiosked

The Bundesliga outfit slipped to a 1-0 defeat away to Stuttgart on Saturday and are now only two points above the relegation places after winning one of their opening four matches.

Wolfsburg have only managed to score two goals so far this season and have taken the decision to sack Jonker after just seven months in charge.

“Decisive for us in taking this step at this point in time was not just the impression made upon us during the game against Stuttgart, but rather based upon the perception of stagnated development amongst the team, which was to a great extent newly formed during the summer,” a statement read on the club’s official website.

“We expressly wish to thank Andries Jonker and his coaching staff, for rescuing VfL’s position in the top-flight at the last minute at the end of last season.

“The decision to make a change of head-coach at this early stage of the season wasn’t easy for any of us. However, during our internal consultations, we ultimately came to the conclusion that we wish to approach the task with a newly formed coaching-team.”

Exactly what I've been trying to communicate

komekn:
In football you are only as good as your last game.

A year in football is like ancient history, two years is archived and three years your totally forgotten.

That is why you could be valued £100million one season have a poor season and you could be worth £20 million.

Since Ilori came to Liverpool he has done nothing he has been overtaken by boys who were 7/ 8 years younger than him. In near 4 years at Liverpool he has played 3 token cup games. You are referring to ancient history of 4/5 years ago in Portugal. I have watched him train at Kirby and play several U23 Games, firstly, he lacks the athleticism and strength required for the EPL even the Championship, consider that he has played over near two seasons in the Championship but just 12 games for Reading. That means Stamp does not rate him at all and its really a waste of money.

Compare him to Domonic Iorfa first team regular for Ipswich over a hundred games in the championship ,add to that Iorfa is just 22, 2 years younger but way more experienced to summarise, them no be mate at all.

Please stop making reference to Olaitan's heart issue. stay with the context here. I am not here to argue to win an argument. Olaitan was once outstanding. Azeez was the best young player in Almeria -- "like I said if was not mistaking". You said Almeria was a poor club? granted. But Azeez did win an MOTM award in the LaLiga. Ilori also did once in LaLiga.

So my point here has always been these players have had a high point, but at the moment they are not seeing the best of times. That's the reason for my comparison. Maybe you guys think I'm making a whole different argument here.

Permit me to add, in comparison with Aina, and Lorfa

Ramon Azeez was NEVER amongst the best players in la liga. Almeria was a poor team. He was never outstanding.

You wan't me to hand you a link? Ramon Azeez was once voted the best young player in LaLiga or if i'm mistaking, Almeria.

if you follow the discussion very well, you will know my reference to Olaitan has to do with him performing very well at a point.
Overall, we are talking about these players development. I'm saying you can't make a reference to a distant past, and then conclude they are class and better than their competition now.

I corrected the impression that Aina is the best.. among the best is different from the best.

Biko, Ramon Azeez was always average. He was never one of the best young DMs in la liga.

Michael Olaitan had a major injury set back and never got his grove back.


So far this season, Aina is among the best rbs in the championship.

2 due to red card.. You said, not me. @ bolded

I go reply you point by point, I don't have much time in my hands now.

forgiveness:
It doesn't change the fact that when he had the chance to play at the highest level he was noticed. Simple! grin

We know Messi may fumble in the kwatankwa championship kind of football.

Which limited time?

So, you didn't see he played all their first three matches before the red card? grin

Out of 7 matches he missed 4. 2 due to red card and 2 due to reasons best known to the coach.

You can't keep your most valuable player on the bench for no reason na. grin

Ibrahim Alhassan ‘Muazzam’ ‘fantastic’ in winning debut for Austria Wien – Akwuegbu


By admin -
September 17, 2017

Ex-Nigeria World Cup star Benedict Akwuegbu has hailed Ibrahim Alhassan ‘Muazzam’ as “fantastic” after he made his long-awaited debut for Austria Wien in a 5-1 home win over St.Polten tonight.

‘Muazzam’ gave an assist for his team’s fourth goal and was unlucky not to have scored himself with a header in the first half.

He was replaced in the 90th minute.

Akwuegbu, who earned the nickname ‘The Austrian Bomber’ in his playing days in Austria, watched the game live and told SCORENigeria the 21-year-old forward, who has already been capped by the Super Eagles, will go on to be a massive hit in the Austrian Bundesliga.

“Alhassan was simply fantastic. He did very, very well for somebody playing only his first official game in Europe,” Akwuegbu gushed.

“He caused the fourth goal with his through pass and he could even have scored in the 32nd minute, but his header missed target just narrowly.

“It would have been a great way to crown a great outing.

“He gave everything, ran a lot and worked hard for the team playing in what I consider his best position, which is coming from behind in the midfield to the attack.

“He’s most dangerous from that position.”

He added: “The coach and the media have paid glowing tribute to him after such a performance.

“And going forward, I see him scoring loads of goals for his new club.

“He will be a big hit in Austria and beyond.”
