TheGoodJoe: It depends on what you describe as dazzle. Now in the game, the aim is multiple 10s on the pitch. Not your dazzling 10s but fast thinking 10s which includes De Bruyne.
Also, they contribute more to forward play. Think Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva. They are also good at playing multiple roles. Think Sergio Gomez and Rico Lewis.
It is no more a case where a dazzler and ball juggling player is the 10. No room for poets.
Finito.
I reluctantly being a fan of entertainment football ⚽ agree with you wholeheartedly.
I was at a game about two weeks ago in the Etihad and this is how the U14/15/16's all play. But they even interchange at this young age.
TheSuperNerd: Kelechi Nwakali's fine strike which was later counted as an own goal by Goncalves was enough to win Chaves 3 pts today away at Vizela in the Portuguese Primeira Liga.
He played 77mins.
Talk about gassing and over exaggeration, as well as disinformation.
Nwakali kicked the ball off target going to his left and it then hits the No. 4 defender for Vizela, causing a massive deflection the ball opposite direction to the right and it's a goal 🥅.
That's what you are gassing about.
Chavez has finally come off the bottoms of the league been there almost permanently league started. The team would get slaughtered in English league one , slow lethargic and poor quality.
They have lost more games and conceded more goals than anybody else in the league.
Philosopher1979: Man city uses no 10. De bruyne is there. The no 10 is needed more than before. Creativity becomes more important the more athletic and defensive football becomes. What u are saying has limitations. These your ideas ate overrated. A 20 year old kanu will dazzle in the modern game. When everyone is running their will be spaces they cannot see that a magician will exploit. Intelligent use of unseen space is important in football. Dribbling and creativity does thus. I'm sorry this is the golden era of the no 10 and creative players.
No he will not, end product over unnecessary flair and showboating skills.
The modern player must have first of all FITNESS, a non stop intensive work rate and the athletic ability of speed and physicality to complement it and all anchored ⚓ on technical ability and football intelligence.
TheGoodJoe: 😂 😂 It was a massacre. At first Onyedinma was forming Voltron with fouls until Doku vex. 😂
I didn't expect anything less particularly with Osho, Adebayo and second fastest player in the premier League past three seasons, Ogbene all missing.
Not sure what Onyedinma castigation has to do with it but yes Doku had the better of him Doku was City best player 1st on all the relevant statistics.
I've not really spoken about Onyedinma much in the last 4 year's. However, in this massacre outside of Barkley Onyedinma was probably Luton best player.
Onyedinma has either started or been heavily involved in Lutons last five games, what does that say about Onyedinma ❓
I watched the game and if not for Onyedinma it could have been an epic massacre not just a massacre.
AndSunGorilla: I think the coach is intentionally sidelining KC. Since after AFCON, the best is KC making a substitute appearance.
How many games did KC play before he got injured and went to AFCON ❓
And in those games was he outstanding and he exceptional ❓❓
Are there players doing better even with less games ❓❓
Old man Vardy has scored 14 goals from 29 games at one stage KC had played more games than Vardy but has been very impotent in front of goal.
Many here wet on a over hype rampage about how KC would destroy the Championship but it's the other way round. The Championship is destroying him 22 games and 5 🥅 goals says it ALL.
No conspiracy against him , don't forget he defied Leicester city when he said he was fit and they said he was not.
But it's simply that there other players performing much better than him, no conspiracy.
TheGoodJoe: I repeat, Xabi Alonso had no top coaching experience before Leverkusen. So, I wonder what you are trying to argue. Good starting point is not the discussion at all.
I can't argue with your opinion but you cannot contend with the facts.
Taking a team from the Segunda Division to la liga is top level experience underpinned with measurable and quantifiable outcome delivery performance.
TheGoodJoe: Just writing off the point. Xabi Alonso had no experience in top football coaching. So people should kill all that top football coaching experience. It is proven from Xabi Alonso, to Guardiola, to Enrique. An amateur coach will outclass a highly experienced one in top level if his coaching philosophy and application is sound.
Football playing experience and pedigree is not coaching talent, if not many greats would be top coaches today.
Finito.
Coaching at a professional club for two seasons in the name of Real Sociedad B is not a big enough club. ❓
mostob: This UK wey you dey, one day..you will need to drop proof. Trust me, shame dey catch me as I dey read the trash you wrote here. Na swear or what?
You made a blunder at first. In an attempt to rectify it, you ended up ridiculing and sacrificing yourself. To what end abeg?
TheGoodJoe: I personally feel getting Osimhen to cut on his forward runs will kill his game. He needs to move a club that plays full offensive football and attack in mass. With this, his attacking runs asset will be appreciated.
Now that's a problem because the top teams do not play a pyramid structure.
The level of interchanging is immense with mist of the top teams in the top leagues.
comodo: Abeg no vex. Every time u just got back from this tourney or the other youth tourney. D thing don dey look one kind. Abeg which tourney did RM U15 team win.?? It no get name? Dey try give us name make we too dey follow up.
The pictures below are from when Marcello clattered into the goalkeeper and defender and essentially knocked them out.
I have already spoken about Marcello son Dude seems ready for first team football ⚽ already. He is physically imposing very strong good touch and a good eye 👁️ for goal.
mrwilliams9: The defending from Monza is not good, yes, but VO’s leap and accurate header as still great. Let’s give credit where it’s due.
Have you tried picking up a suitcase you assumed to be heavy only to find it's empty,it will almost cause you to fall over.
VO attacks the ball with a big aggressive leap anticipating a shoulder challenge , but he barged thin air defender the no. 4 was static no challenge, nothing, it almost caused VO a very serious injury.
The jump 🦘 is accentuated by the defender standing and doing nothing.
TheGoodJoe: You are actually just ranting now. The point is simple. We should get the best person that can teach us the possessive pattern when we consider our clout and financial capability.
Alonso did not coach a top club before his success. Football now is strictly about ideologies.
Proffer your suggested coach for us.
Alonso was arguably Liverpool best playmaker midfielder for many seasons before going to Real Madrid and then Bayern Munich. Essentially the creme del creme of European football as a player. His football pedigree experiential competency without question ❓
He then coached Real Madrid U14, I just got back from Mallorca and watched the Real Madrid U15 win the tournament some of those players are having sessions with the first team. It's not anybody who gets that job you can ask Zidan if you have doubt's.
Xabi then went to Real Sociedad B in the Segunda and got them promoted. From there his rise to the top was not unexpected.
You cannot compare Xabi Alonso to Amunike please it's insulting.
Usually I find it repulsive reproaching an elder but sir I think inferiority complex has eaten deep into you so much that you have forgotten the son of whom you are.
You saw a man leapt so high to score a goal and momentarily it seems he gassed out and all you could do is to downplay such an effort? Sir, I beg stop acting like a psychopath. It is becoming to much lately.
And don't forget Osinhem is not in government of d present day Nigeria.
It's often said, what an elder can see 👀👀sitting down a child 🚸 cannot see 👀when he climbs a tree 🌴.
Napoleon55: I commend this defender for he did not went hard on Osimhen contrary to what Mr K was yarning. otherwise it would have resulted to a career threatening injury.
Defender was disgracefully static made no challenge whatsoever. VO anticipated the challenge jumped appropriately only to find he was shoulder barging this air.
Thanks to God it could have been a very serious injury for VO.
Didier Drogba on Osimhen: "I saw Victor score that goal against Monza. Oh God! He got hurt, I thought. I wouldn't have gone on that ball, it's crazy. An absurd goal!"
i normally skip pass the 'hot trash' you post all the time, i couldn't just swallow this one your MUMUNESS is legendary
If indeed that is a verbatim quote from Drogba it gives credence to my view and cements it unquestionably.
It seems you need an English Lesson , what does absurd mean ❓utterly or obviously senseless, illogical, or untrue; contrary to all reason or common sense; laughably foolish or false:
What did I say there was nothing great about the goal more of a reflection of abysmal defending that nearly caused VO to have a serious injury 🤕.
And Drogba is saying essentially by substance what I've deduced.
And 17 people like what they thought 💭 to be contrary opposing view to mine. It proves that intelligence doesn't rest with the majority.
chuks404: who is currently better than him in super eagles? Or do you have anyone better? Onyedika is a technical player. His move will come oga. He mustn't play in Epl. Belguim is not even moi moi. Respect the talent.
Belgium league is rated number 8 in Europe just behind the Turkish league.
Somebody tagged him supremely technical player
He has been in Europe for 4 seasons and he is playing in Belgium. My assertion by comparison of the top players in Europe 🌍 Ralph Onyedika cannot be a supremely technical player and still be in the Belgium league after four plus seasons in Europe.
mrwilliams9: Osimhen’s goal yesterday was an incredible goal but he still got caught offside 3 times that game.
I want Osimhen to be one of the best strikers in the game for a long long time. But to play at the top for years on end, there will be aspects of his game he needs to improve and timing his runs is one of the biggest things to improve.
I know he can do better.
There is absolutely nothing great about that goal a goal yes but great No. You are over gassing it.
The number 4 for Monza is an absolute joke, he stands like his watching traffic he doesn't even jump for th ball or even try to defend and or intercept the cross.
It's shocking abysmal defending it caused VO to almost injure himself as he anticipated a challenge but there was none whatsoever.
Good goal 🥅 for VO but shambolic defending by Monza.
Kog45: Chuckuweze naturally should be our talisman .He got it all as a footballer
That's wishful thinking 🤔 it's got to be proven and established by playing consistently very well, with end product week in and week out in his club and league.
Pulisic who is in direct competition with him has scored 10 goals in Seria A from 29 games. Chukwueze by comparison has scored 1 goal in Seria A from 19 matches no matter how you dress it up ,it's not good enough.
He has not got it all , because of he did it would be proven not just wishful thinking.
Nwamazi8: Onyedika is UNDERRATED sha, supremely technical player, he looks like and reminds me of Sunday Oliseh for some reason...even against Mali friendly he stood out for me...I really want a innovative coach to get the best out of these players we have, they are too talented to be wasted under garbage coaching.
How long was Ndidi in the Belgium league before coming to the EPL ❓
How long was Haaland in a Nordic League before Bundesliga and now EPL.
How can a supremely technical player be playing in the Belgium league for two seasons after two seasons in the Nordic Leagues.
Don't you think you are over gassing it.
I just watched a 18 year-old Kobe Mainoo against Liverpool and nobody called him supremely technical player but we call Ralph that.
This over hype 😄 doesn't allow for objective appraisal.
