The bold is a nonsensical proposition without any iota of substance.

The quality of league will determine the difficulty of execution and quality of delivery. The creation of a through and or long pass in Seria A is not the same as the NPFL. The quality of a cross in the EPL is not the same as Serbia league.

Quality of football is still relative to the league you are playing in, that can not be dismissed. In this inglorious quest to overcome quality with mediocrity to hype a player who has done nothing beyond regression in the past 8 years. Nwakali midfield maestro.

Consider Ivan Trichkovski top goal ⚽ scorer Cypriot League (rated 21in Europe) with 14 goals this season, he is 35. About 10 years ago he was in Belgium league his best tally at his peak 5 goals.

Alexander lacazette in 2016/17 got 28 goals from 30 games in the French league one. After 5 years at Arsenal his best EPL goal tally was 14, he has never been a top 5 goal scorer, not sure even top 10 in the EPL.

He has gone back to French League one , no longer in his prime at 31 , he is now joint number 2 with 4 other players in the French league with 12 goals. That tells you something.

Statistics are absolutely relative to the league you are in. You cannot dismiss relative quality in assessment of statistics . All because you want to hype the best midfield maestro.

I haven't followed the Spanish Cup , how many Segundo teams❓ were able to beat La Liga opposition how many from the Spanish 3rd tier ❓

I will reiterate the Segunda division is poor quality particularly once you below 4/5th place.

Ponferradina will struggle in my opinion without prejudice in English League two.

This Goodjoe guy can you rest for once and allow us who come here to read about Nigerian players to enjoy our moment as our boys are painting Europe with goals? What is wrong with you?

Karlovych:
But this was right

TheGoodJoe:

Blocking with channels. You guys were just defending in numbers. Even Wigan can do that. Nothing tactical. It was a defensive set up because you were up against a better side. You were out played all through the game. Anyone that sits deep can nullify anyone.

Lol... Meli My Good man. For the sake of Elyte89 who is yet to wrap up his own assignment as he asked the question, I will neither confirm nor deny your post.

But hey, beautiful try.... Just won't say, for now, if you hit the target or not.

Dathypebruv:

The Big Question finally asked.

But why do you want to know? I thought by now, you should have figured it out.

komekn:
It's your opinion even if it's delusional.

komekn:
If that's your idea of exceptional skill, guile, technique and dribbling you need to go for an eye test.

Happy Birthday To Victor Osimhen: Nigeria's Most Valuable player in World Football today.

Undoubtedly he is also among the most complete strikers/CFs on the planet and he isn't even in his prime yet.

More years of conquests and Greatness, Victor.

Cheers to the Monster Machine @24.

How the Nigerian league can develop.

Can't nff get investors from quatar, Saudi Arabia, china etc. Also the man city group can buy one of our clubs.
We don't need our money for the league to run. We just need investors.
But nff are stupid and myopic. How will a league attract investors when it is not televised.
Anyway with our global reputation in football, we can easily attract investors. We have global stars like kanu, okocha, Mikel obi etc. They can easily market us to the world

Mujtahida:
Maybe not quite. Like AndSunGorilla said Messi is one of a kind.

Mujtahida:
As I watched Messi lift the world cup, I mused to myself: where is Mikel?

Why do this guys give our players who are in the same bracket with them so much gap in a matter of years?

Marjoribanks:
Have you watch the highlights of Chukweze or Moses Simon? Please do! I judge a player with real time match not highlights. Do you know why Ajax refused to sign him despite his dribbling abilities? Do you know why he is unpopular with Hertha Berlin fans? End product. Dribbling without assists and goals is crap! Who will he even bench in the SE first 11? Chuz, Lookman, Simon, Iwobi. or Moffi?

TheGoodJoe:
Wow. Move clip. I agree with your belief that none of our forwards can pass like him. He also has a nice curl to his short and long passing. Ejuke is sound and it looks criminal that Simon Moses has gotten so much run of games and Ejuke not giving ample chances. Shows that there is something wrong with those who pick our squad players.

Marjoribanks:
Ejuke can switch play with long balls? You must be related to him. The boy got his chance at AFCON and misused it. The only game he started he was the worst player on the field. He played against CAR and Cape Verde away what special stuffs did he offer? You will play a player that dribble unnecessary and lose balls in dangerous area in the middle? Thank God you are no where near the SE bench!

TheSuperNerd:
And that one game this midfielder started was the best midfield display of the Afcon by our team earlier this year but the same Nigerian fans deny it and tell you the lad is useless. Lol

Meli... the problem also extends to the fans. They don't want the truth.

TheGoodJoe:
Watch how both sides are good at keeping the ball and moving it. With the growth of possession heavy game, you must build a team of players that are gifted in passing and keeping the ball.

Both sides have been a delight to watch. Amarabat remains my player of the tournament. [b]So gifted with the ball in tight spaces.

We can't expect to excel if we don't field exceptional players gifted with the ball and incredible with passing.

Those managing the team need to carry out a continuous comprehensive scouting if we intend to excel.

You saw that second goal by Croatia. That is what I pointed out on beating a compact setup defense.

Just as in the early 90s and 2000s where people who could cross accurately from a long range and pick up strikers in the pool of defenders were a toast, people gifted in picking up angles from long range with curling shots will become hot cake.
