Cover up by owngoalnigeria.com after missing the lineup

Decision to start Awaziem ahead of Omeruo explained

As exclusively reported by Owngoalnigeria.com FC Po‎rto defender Chidozie Awaziem will start ahead of Chelsea loanee Kenneth Omeruo in the heart of Nigeria’s defence alongside William Troost-Ekong.

Awaziem made his international debut for Nigeria against Togo last few days ago, but the 20 year old has gotten the nod to start ahead of Omeruo who has been a stalwart at the back for Nigeria since 2013.

Owngoalnigeria.com gathered the decision to start Awaziem was taken by Rohr in France as he did several drills with the defenders ahead of the South Africa game, Omeruo didn’t make it to their camp in France while Awaziem did.

The Porto man interpreted correctly the drills in the friendly game against Togo which Nigeria won 3- 0 , and during training in Uyo, he was once again at his best leaving the coach with no option than to hand him a start.

Furthermore Rohr believes South Africa forward Tokelo Rantie has a physiological edge over Omeruo after he literally destroyed the 24 year old few years ago in an AFCON qualifier at same venue.

Well let's not leave the original context. Job hunting (I will assume) and doing business are very different.
komekn:
Not focusing on the negatives but being very aware of those dynamics creating the contingency and strategy to get around them is giving yourself competitive advantage and a better chance of success.


In my main professional vocation in the UK 95% of the time I am usually the most qualified experientially, with the highest level of professional certification and the most qualified academically. I do not work in IT.

I have learned to exceed the benchmark in order to get ahead. I don't wallow in self pity or defeatism but get going and if I have to climb mountains that my Caucasian peers don't have to, it's just the way it is. I don't get bitter ( well try not too) I just get ahead.

I might be British by birth and legally speaking however I'm still black can't hide that. And of course Naija to the core.

Sorry for slightly philosophical deviation

Very bad way to start in any endeavor -- focusing only on the negatives. If those intimidiaries are serious they will start from where they have the brightest chances. Gradually their influence will grow. Success don't happen overnight. Football in UK is the most commercialized. Breaking into it will always pose a challenge. There are definitely other factors besides not being white. But winners will always find a way. Like you rightly said, "hard but not impossible". I think in every endeavor having the right skills is not automatic contrary to what many may think. there is many learning to do as u get your hands dirty in the field. I'm sure you know this.



komekn:
Networking in Nigeria and networking in the UK are totally different add to the mix being black and you got your work cut out.

Finally, you often project from your social circle. How many black managers deh English football. How many recruitment heads are black in the league system.

You see d wahala.

Hard but not impossible got to be versatile and ingenious.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 6:50pm On Jun 09, 2017
Networking. That's one skill many Nigerians lack. But we blame the system every time. Everyone feels nothing works so they never try -- consistently

komekn:
Everything you say is correct.

But I would qualify it with one over riding phrase.

WHO DO U KNOW.


I know multiples of agents who have registration but don't know anybody. Indeed this is not too sound conceited but they often come to me.

At the end of the day, we are all speculating.

I don't see why Rohr will start Shehu and Musa especially if they would be fasting.
I don't see him starting Ebuehi, if truly Ebuehi is second in the pecking order. Omeruo in RB looks more likely. I expect a few surprises.
Etebo will start. Mark my words. Why is the battle between him and Ogu?

Alampasu in goal is only my hope, not that i'm expecting it to happen.

Tension Grips Super Eagles Over Lineup; Fasting Shehu's Starting Spot At Risk

There is tension in the Super Eagles Le Meridian Hotel camp with Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr set to announce his starting lineup for Saturday's African Cup of Nations qualifier versus South Africa.

There remains a mystery about who will get Rohr's nod at right wing-back as the German has concerns about Anorthosis Famagusta star Abdullahi Shehu, who is observing the Ramadan fast.




In addition, he's faced with a dilemma whether to select John Ogu or Oghenekaro Etebo in the middle of the park, and has to choose either Moses Simon or Ahmed Musa to join Kelechi Iheanacho and Alex Iwobi in attack.

''There is tension in the Super Eagles camp, the players have not yet been informed about the starting lineup,'' a top source close to the Super Eagles team told allnigeriasoccer.com.

''Shehu Abdullahi was supposed to start at right back but Rohr is thinking of dropping him and replacing him with Ebuehi. He is fasting and may not have the energy to play the game.''

Based on the formation tried in the practice sessions, Daniel Akpeyi will start in goal, the two central defenders are Kenneth Omeruo and Troost-Ekong, Echiejile starts at left back, Onazi and Ndidi are the central midfielders.

OPPONENT WATCH

Leaked – Bafana Bafana To Play With Five At The Back Against Eagles, Jali Gets New Role

Head coach of the senior national team of South Africa Stuart Baxter will approached Saturday game against Nigeria with a safety first approach as he is prepared to play with five defenders at the back.

Baxter recognise how deadly Nigeria can be in attack, and wants to nullify the pace at which the Eagles attack by playing men in front of the defence to stop them from threading balls behind.

That said the coach who loves to play with two defensive midfielders will this time around settle for Kermit Erasmus as the most advanced of his midfielders due to his ability to move from box to box regardless of how deep he plays.

Meanwhile Andile Jali will be the most important player for Baxter’s team against Nigeria with the KV Oostende defensive midfielder given a role just in front of the defenders, particularly to take out whoever leads the line for Nigeria as the top striker.

While Jali will concentrate on the top striker for Nigeria, the three centre back will be on alert to help the full backs if Nigeria threatens from the flank as expected during the course of the game.

Jali is well known for his well timed tackles and interceptions and Baxter believes he will be key to their chances of causing an upset by using him to disrupt the Super Eagles from their free flowing brand of football.

The coach has also asked his wards to be very physical against the Nigerians who are no where near them in terms of size, but are unpredictable especially with the ball at their feet.

Exclusive – Rohr Goes For 4-3-3, Omeruo Dropped, Awaziem To Partner Ekong in Central Defence

Reports reaching Owngoalnigeria.com has it that FC Porto Nigerian defender Chidozie Awaziem will pair William Troost-Ekong in the heart of Nigerian defence when they take on South Africa tomorrow.

Awaziem was selected ahead of Chelsea defender Kenneth ‎Omeruo as coach Gernot Rohr wants to work with majority of the players who were with him in the training tour of France.

The coach maintained the bulk of the squad that defeated Togo 3-0 in their last friendly game with Mikel Agu and Ikechukwu Ezenwa the only players dropped for the returning duo of Ogenyi Onazi and Daniel Akpeyi.

It’s still unclear if the dropping of Omeruo who has been a stalwart in the heart of Nigeria’s defence since 2013 has anything to do with the physiological edge South Africa striker Tokelo Rantie has over him.

The last time Nigeria played South Africa in Uyo, the game ended 2-2 but Omeruo struggled to keep the rampaging forward in check, and with the forward set to lead the line again for South Africa on Saturday, it could be that he has cost Omeruo his spot in the Nigeria team for the clash.

Rohr has also picked 4-3-3 as the style his team will adopt against South Africa, who are hoping to end an unpleasant run of no win against Nigeria in any competitive game, as their only win came in a friendly game in 2004.

Confirmed Line -Up.

Daniel Akpeyi

Shehu Abdullahi

Elderson Echiejile

William Troost-Ekong

Chidozie Awaziem

Details Of Eagles Close Door Session – Alampasu Impresses , Ogu Pushing To Start

The training session of the Super Eagles of Nigeria which was held behind close doors wasn’t entirely closed to Owngoalnigeria.com eagle eyed correspondent Osas Mahawi.

According to Mahawi the session had two different sections, one being tactical and the other a two a-side game played under the watchful eyes of coach Gernot Rohr.

As customary shooting practice was held after the session with Alampasu distinguishing himself between the stick with fine reflexes, just like he did during the training game and tactical drills.

John Ogu is still one of the top performers in training, and could edge Oghenekaro Etebo in the battle for a spot in the midfield of the team ahead of Saturday’s game against South Africa.

The possibles which we won’t reveal did drills with the coach against players who are not guaranteed to start, with emphasis more on how to attack, defend and also goal scoring.

They will have their final session today before the coach will name his squad, although not much changes if any at all is expected from the line up published by this portal yesterday.
