Words of AmajuPinnick.

“In all modesty, because of the new direction we have given to Nigeria Football, we have entered into various partnership deals that are worth over fifty million US Dollars in the past one year. We are happy Cadbury has joined the train and we thank those companied that have faith in us,” Amaju said.

Tom Tom , has always been a good patner ... i could remember their support in those years when SE were in their dark path . Tom Tom will do well

forgiveness:
Moses caused alot of problem on the wing for that was why Barcelona had to deploy another player there.

Wey Chelsea dey beat Barcelona defence like tomorrow no dey.

If Messi was the player that had those chances Chelsea had, dem for collect 4 goals inside net.

Barcelona had all players behind the ball.

which match you watch ?

forgiveness:
Barcelona was not as good as Conte thought in first leg.

The only difference between Chelsea and Barca in this match was MESSI. that's all. Apart from that Chelsea dominated them from start to finish.

I don't think they can beat Bayern.

But referee do ojoro no give Chelsea penalty.

Kante na World class. Hazard was the biggest flop. Did nothing.

Giroud na asset.

and what about Moses... ? the defense line of Barca , curtailed all the attackers and made them looked ordinary

Manchester City look to Bundesliga superstar after cooling interest in Fred – report
By City Watch 
Posted on March 13, 2018
RELATED ITEMS: FEATURED , FRED , JULIAN WEIGL Manchester City have cooled their interest in recent midfield target Fred according to reports today by The Times , Goal and Daily Mail .
The news comes as a surprise after City had
reportedly been in advanced negotiations to land the 24-year-old Brazil international, but Paul Hirst of The Times writes that the two clubs could not come to an agreement despite City loaning striker Larry Kayode to the Ukrainian giants.
While a deal isn’t impossible it is now rated as unlikely, and fresh reports claim that Manchester United could instead sign Fred, continuing their recent habit of signing City targets.
Shakhtar CEO Sergei Palkin told Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport today, “Fred isn’t already at Manchester City, but he will surely leave in June. If not to City, then Manchester United.
“He’s ready for the next stage, because as well as being good, he’s also very professional. If he asked us to stay another year, we’d let him.”
City are now expected to turn their attentions to other targets, with Julian Weigl of Borussia Dortmund listed as a primary candidate by The Times .
A host of midfielders other than Fred and Weigl have been linked with a switch to the Etihad in recent months, including Lazio’s impressive
Sergej Milinković-Savić , Jorginho of Napoli, and Liverpool star Emre Can who is out of contract in the summer.
City are in considerable need of a new midfielder who can play in a deeper role, with Fernandinho soon to turn 33 and Yaya Touré out of contract in June and leaving the club. The big question now is if not Fred, then who?

IF Ndidi continues like this , then the truth is not far from Guardiola

edi287:
Ndidi passing is nowhere good enough to play for Barca(at least not yet). He has the potential to be a world class destroyer, but at the moment, Matic is simply better and more experienced. He reads the game better, dictates play better and of course has a better passing range. Ndidi is a tackling machine and edges Matic in terms of mobility.

Matic failed to read the game yesterday , where was he Matic is gradually becoming a shadow of himself ... if he must contend with Ndidi , he must put up a sterling performance consistently . at the moment the long leg guy is ahead of him .

Mujtahida:
Premiership is touted as the best in terms of physicality according to komekn and that is objectivity
But when we say Ndidi is the best as far as tackles are concerned based on current stats he says it's sentiments.
He uses just one quality to hype the EPL - physicality
When we point at Ndidi's one unique quality he says it's sentiments

So once I see him use the words ''sentiments/sentimental'' or ''objective/objectivity'' I just avoid the debate. Because his logic is simple:my views and whatever accords to my views= objectivity
My view and whatever accords to it= sentiments

Na to tell am bye bye. I no dey for long talk.

Playing 20 minutes isn't enough - Rohr on Iheanacho’s match-winning display
By Tolu Olasoji, Correspondent

https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/GOAL/b8/e1/kelechi-iheanacho-leicester-city_18okyx9njukyx1lcizzk92pq03.jpg

The striker broke his league duck for the Foxes at the weekend but the Super Eagles handler is unfazed as he wants more prominence for the youngster

Despite putting in a virtuoso performance on Saturday, Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr insists Kelechi Iheanacho must get more playing time at Leicester City.

The former Manchester City striker made a half-hour cameo to help Claude Puel’s men pull an enthralling comeback against West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns.

Iheanacho laid a lovely assist before grabbing his first English Premier League strike for Leicester to help the King Power Stadium outfit to a 4-1 victory.

The Nigeria international was only making his 15th appearance - 12th from the bench - in the top-flight this term having struggled to hit the ground running after completing a record move from City in the summer. He has been named in the matchday squad 21 times, failing to get involved in six of those.

https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/GOAL/4e/78/iheanacho-ps_e66ds674mazu143jpopx46un4.png


However, the 21-year-old features more prominently in the FA Cup - helping Leicester reach the quarterfinals - playing four times and scoring in as many matches.

And, although, Rohr is delighted with his recent progress, the national team handler wants the player to rack up more minutes, especially with March's pre-World Cup friendlies against Poland and Serbia fast approaching.

“Kelechi is doing very well. I'm in touch with his coach - Claude Puel - he's a friend of mine,” Rohr told Goal .

“And let him now play a little bit more and I hope he does because it is not enough playing 20 minutes even if he scores he has to play more and I hope now he will have the opportunity to play other games and to be fit for our two friendlies.”

Iheanacho is likely to continue his run in the FA Cup this Sunday when Leicester City battle Chelsea for a spot in the semifinals of the competition.

Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 92 days 23 hours 8 mins to go

when you see a coach like this , they re not far from success, initially Rohr wants playing time for KC now he wants more than 20minutes ... gradually he will push and push till KC become the player he is suppose to be .

Truidstar:
Poland's strength is wing play, with lewandoski waiting in the centre. Nullify their wingers, they will resort to long balls. We have a stronger midfield. As for lewandoski scoring..... Well... The kind of service he gets at Bayern is different from that of Poland. Idowu and Shehu have a lot of work to do sha.

If you have been watching Lewy. if he doesn't gets supply , he joins the midfield often time ....

LZAA:
na so psg make mouth oooo then kroos and modric scatter dia midfield
presently?u having a laugh? better than matic?

this is national team duty

TheSuperNerd:
I Just feel Lewy will score against us. If he doesn't, then great.

But I feel we will score too but Poland will be one hell of team to take on. Can't wait to see how we fare.

I have the feeling too bro . He is a workaholic

LZAA:
eh who matic?

ndidi is good but not yet at matic's level

Ndidi is developing why Matic is at his peak , presently Ndidi is ahead of Nemanja Matic , and soon he will also join a team in category of Man United and win trophies to his record . At this pace he’s developing he may become one of the world best DM .

Taiwo Awoniyi Names His Favourite Liverpool Player, Cites Poland Captain As Role Model


https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/84418Awoniyi.png


Taiwo Awoniyi has picked Brazil international Roberto Firmino as his favourite player at Liverpool and admitted that he idolizes Poland captain, Bayern Munich striker
Robert Lewandowski.

Despite not playing a single first-team game for Liverpool due to work permit issues, the Nigeria U23 striker remains in the plans of the Anfield side, and it is claimed that they will loan him to a club competing in the Europa League next season.

''I watch a lot of Premier League and Champions League in Belgium.And I always watch the strikers, whoever they are,'' Awoniyi said to Liverpool Echo.

''Whether it’s Firmino, Lewandowski, whoever. I watch the movement, the runs they make, and see what I can learn from them and what I can add.''

Awoniyi added : ''At the moment Firmino is my favourite player. He does things unbelievably well, and I think he should be rated even higher.

''As a young player, when I see him playing I cannot stop watching. What he does, he makes life easy for those around him, Mane, Salah and everybody. He always plays for the team.''

The 20-year-old Awoniyi, who previously enjoyed loan spells at FSV Frankfurt and NEC Nijmegen, has impressed at Belgian side Royal Excel Mouscron this term, scoring 8 goals ( 6 assists) in 29 appearances across all competitions.

anytime i see this guy , i remember Ex Liverpool player ...Emile Henskey

AIG07:
why?

Moses is becoming goal shy of late , he has lost bite in that kind of threat he used to possessed when he get to the goal post . I

AIG07:
Moses was solid defencely today. Shuts down city's attack from the left on countless times.

But was average going forward. He had a chance of turning the game around. But his decision let him down.

I don't know if this is a blessing in disguise or the other way round.

i will not be surprised if Moses plays the Chelsea position in the Super Eagles

tbaba1234:
Ndidi among the top performers as usual..

that guy has been consistently consistent i am happy with all our BOYS PERFORMANCES

Op... This new is not genuine , the area in which Lionel messi's house is situated is a no flying zone coupled with the expansion of the airport .

BascoVanVeli:
Etebo was so good last night, I was so happy for him although it was not the result I would have preferred as a barca fan.
This guy is like a Swiss knife, the guy could play anywhere on the field without much fuss

can he stand in to solve our goal keeping problem ? ;

SerVik:
Etebo's energy is frightening. The commentator said he covered every single grass on the pitch.

i trust the European , he will still be in one of the rooms for substance test .

gbosaa:
Is Iniesta or Xavi taller than him? His height is perfect for the job he does in the midfield. He is strong and a bundle of energy. He accelerates very fast as well. Ogu does not move or tackle like he does. The only person in the team with similar work rate is Ndidi. Eagles need someone like him to run down Modric and Ratikic in our first match. He does not need the height.

if you read my line very well, i said "his mobility and speed will cover up for him

mazimee:
With what Etebo, Ndidi and Joel Obi are doing at their clubs, our Midfield go be red hot for Croatia and others wey dey form Midfield màfia

Etebo is a workhorse ...the only disadvantage is his height , speed and mobility will cover for him

gamaliel9:
Epic for Joel Obi

On a quiet Sunday night...you left on a machine invented by the Wright brothers..terminus ad quem, Guisseppe Meazza...in a little time, a certain Mourinho ,eagle eyed, saw your precociousness,placed you on" A" list of that team that broke away from Milan team saying,

"This wonderful night bestows us with colours of crest,black and azure[blue]...it shall be called International because we are brothers of the world"

At a stage ,you and countryman Nwankwo Obiorah were first teamers...you constantly benched Philppe Coutinho...but muscles and the elements conspired to hit you from time to time..they sent you to Parma...back to San Siro...finally Torino saw the gem,overlooking your injuries and bought you.. Today,the stars have aligned for you..you have conquered the elements....you shall match with the green white green to Putin s den...you a part of a jigsaw set to enchant le monde like the German blitzkrieg with strenght,pace and skill....the stage is set...tickets have been bought...televisions are ready...heaven is merciful...your time is here.....

a raw TALENT acknowledging a raw talent . fantastic work ... well done bro!

CaptainStephen:
Joel's coming might lead to a midfielder or winger been dropped if he makes the final 23.

definitely a DM will be dropped ... Ogu and Onazi should seat up

that you point no1 is so wrong ... Nigerians like technology and we so much embrace technology in this part of the world ... rearrange your point .

i wish this guy is free from injury... its been long Super Eagles play wth a very skilful midfielder

rule says after 4 red card to a particular team ... the match cant be continue. someone is not saying the truth .
