Chidera Ejuke Explains His Style To Rohr - I Am An Entertainer Who Score Goals

CSKA Moscow new signing Chidera Ejuke has shed more light on some of the qualities that helped him conquered the Dutch League while at Heerenveen last season.

The 22 year old who is set to be handed his first call up to the senior national team of Nigeria when they converge for their next international engagement is slowly settling down to life in Russia.

Comfortable on either flanks much has been said about his abilities to go past his markers with ease. A quality he willingly admit is his strength.

Speaking on his qualities , he said his style is very direct and simple to understand as he is the type of player who likes to attract defenders to himself due to his dribbling abilities.

“ My style is very direct. I like to entertain when on the ball because dribbling comes natural to me. However I am a different kind of entertainer because I also like to score goals. Getting past defenders give me joy”, he said .

You mean a Vicmo 2.0?

I don't know the use of var when it can't make the easiest decisions

No mind those people. They made a new rule for the season and couldn't own up to it...I mean the Willian handball was very very incorrect too.

Spy360:
That's why it isn't good to write off players so easily. Elneny can save us 30m this season and may fetch a decent price next summer.

Seriously, what is the use of buying Aouar when we have Dani , Guen and Elneny in the role. ? The cash should be used to get a proper advanced MF instead. MO

That hector guy should have seen red

A straight one at that.

Roland17:
It was quite heated, they had to be separated. Nketiah took exception to a tackle from Ceballos during middle man passing, Ceballos did not think it was bad, both mouthed at each other. Another round of passing with Ceballos in the middle started and he went harder at Nketiah and they got in each other’s face and had to be separated..

Ceballos sef . The guy is like his younger brother for God's sake. Anyway, dem go settle am

I must admit ,that was an entertaining match....
Leno. .. still doesn't have the imposing confidence possessed by martinez. Make we manage am sha. He really needs to know when to give either short or long pass ...5/10
Bellerin... I like the way he now timed his run (noticed it since that chelsea game) but for God's sake,we aren't playing rugby.He needs to improve his one vs one. 6/10
Gabriel.... was a bit nervy earlier in the game but overall,a nice debut . His goal was also sumptuous. I think he still need a bit of tutoring on long passes... 8/10
Holding. ... His greatest highlight in the game was that momentary ball jogging, even laca can't help it. If he can sort out his long passes, his partnership with Gabi will take us places. .. 8/10
Tierney.... A normal afternoon for my guy, I don't know why he rarely delivers crosses again, maybe it is due to the absence of martinelli...8/10
Elneny.... Very tidy and I'm happy he has reduces his trademark back passes. But he was lacking in positional awareness....7/10
Xhaka.... With the absence of Luiz, you will have expect him to take charge of those diagonal passes. A decent afternoon sha...7/10
AMN... Good in markings and tackling but he need to improve his final third delivery, very very poor. ... 6/10
Auba... Captain fantastic! Nice goal by the way. Say no more. .. 8/10
Laca.... There were times in the match where you missed Giroud. A great hustling afternoon for him. 7/10
Willian... How I wish that FK went in. Having 3 assists on his debut is just wow. ..9/10
Dani... Showed some energetic display when he came in. You can even feel that confidence from him and that nutmeg it was fantastic. ..5/10
Pepe..still the same pepe you already know... 5/10
Nketiah.... There was nothing to do when he came in...

Wtf is this, is this true?

Matip and keita are debatable as I believe Ndidi should be above these guys... but I think the calibre of clubs they both played was taken into context.. Aside that, the list is spot on .

David Luiz Neck spasm. Currently being assessed and undergoing treatment with good response. Will miss Saturday’s match at Fulham.

Emile Smith Rowe
Sustained an injury to his right shoulder in training. Protective sling will be removed by the end of next week and aiming to integrate back into training soon afterwards.

Sokratis

Right calf. Sustained mild strain to right calf in training. Will miss Saturday’s match at Fulham. Aiming to integrate back into full training within the next week.

Calum Chambers

Left knee. Ruptured anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee during Chelsea (h) on December 29.

Pablo Mari

Left ankle. Sustained significant sprain to ankle ligaments during Manchester City (a) on June 17.

Gabriel Martinelli

Left knee. Sustained injury during training on June 21.

Shkodran Mustafi

Right hamstring sustained during FA Cup semi-final on July 18.



As part of Premier League protocol, all members of our first team squad and support staff continue to be regularly tested for COVID-19.

Roland17:
Ahead of Mustafi for sure but I will tell you, the Chamber I saw before he went down again was looking very promising. But right now we don't know what Chambers will look like when he returns to the pitch.

I saw 2 of Mavropano's game last season while he was at Nurnberg and he looked really good. He was steady, fearless, timed his tackles very well and read the game well. Thing is, we have not had enough time to evaluate him at Arsenal because of injuries but I liked what I see when I watched him. I will be keeping a close eye on him at Stuttgart. I am glad we extended his contract before sending him out.

As for Holding, as much as I like him, I think its time to cut our loses and move on from him and that I why I am not bothered about his impending move to Newcastle. I understand that may change if Luiz is injured long term.

Based on recent performances.

Chambers
Mavropanos
Holding
Mustafi

Wow.. nice analysis.
I have not watched the guy and I have been curious especially after hearing some people sing his praise.

Schemerkhiz:
Uchenna Kanu named in Sweden Damallskveskan Team of the week again..

Uchenna Kanu the Female Ronaldo of the Superfalcons is good at Scoring Goals, she's gradually bringing in her goal Scoring sprees from the University level to the Professional stage..

Aside pace which I even think doesn't differ, this girl can give Oshoala a run .

Cameroon

Yea..Cameroon but I don't wanna mention the real inventor, before those bredas migrate here. You should know them by now

I will deviate slightly.

Distance is not the issue but connectivity.

So for instance from Manchester to London 200 miles + distance, takes about 2 hours on the train can cost over £160 return at peak times.

From Manchester to Nottingham which is about 80 miles takes 3.5 hours meanwhile, it's half the distance.

So distance does not define connectivity. So it's easier and quicker to go to London which is double the distance. Than to go going to Nottingham albeit more expensive.

Meanwhile you can take a flight to Madrid or Porto in Spain take two hours and can cost £60 return.

So it really is not a big deal to fly out to Madrid in the morning and come back in the evening for very little money and minimum inconvenience.

My footballer friends would regularly charter a private jet, go to Milan do shopping and chop Italian gourmet cuisine ( not my preference) and come back in the evening.

This is to inform.

Ok

Roland17:
He had a decent loan at Stuttgart last season.

would you rate him ahead of chambers ,holding and mustafi

Subzero047:
Yea

Na wa o. has he become so bad? See better keeper wey chelsea suppose sign.

Pls, has anybody here watched mavropanos play ?

Subzero047:
This is looking like Fulham of 2018/19 o, they already have a good goalkeeper they purchased Areola (reminiscent of 18/19) then they got two right backs on loan in addition to the right back at the club

Their major areas of need (2 CBs, backup striker and a LW) have not been addressed

Wait, you mean the same Areola from PSG

Danielnino00:
Actually, England introduced "kick and rush" football

And our bredas here in Africa introduced 'jam body' football

Emotive bias .

charlesemeka85:
Indian Super League side Jamshedpur have officially announced the signing of Nigeria international Stephen Eze on undisclosed terms.

The former Sunshine Stars and Ifeanyi Ubah star arrives Jamshedpur as a free agent after mutually terminating his contract with Tobol in July 2020.

Eze will be hoping to get his career back on track after missing the whole of the 2020 season due to an injury he suffered in a pre-season friendly and he had to undergo surgery three months ago.

The giant center back admitted that former Bolton Wanderers, Wigan Athletic and Blackburn Rovers coach Owen Coyle convinced him to join Jamshedpur.

"Owen Coyle is a top football manager who I have followed since my childhood when he was with Burnley, Bolton Wanderers and Wigan in the English Premier League," said Eze to the official website of Jamshedpur.

"I look up to him and was elated at the prospects when this opportunity presented. He is clear in his vision and that made my decision easy."

Eze has been allocated the number 66 jersey for the upcoming Indian Super League season.

Indian of all place? Jersey number 66? .
I wish him well.

komekn:
A few years ago l was oportuned to go too Cadiz the first team was poor quality IMO.

And l cannot imagine the quality of the B team.

So he needs to do a lot more.

Subzero047:
Lewandowski or Suarez?

Suarez pls... Forget his current form

Danielnino00:

Like wtf? Be like the Jerry curl better pass o. Our own Zidane can't be looking like a cartoon character fah

Edopesin:
I'm more eager to see how havertz will play though

Same here too but his transfer was needless sha since you already got Mount. All eyes are on you next season. Lampard better not flop.

Danielnino00:
That Shawcross reminds me of one of my cousin that attended the same secondary school with me..
Man was a terrible footballer but he had one heck of a strong bother...like iron!
When we went to play ball,most people won't want him on their team cus he was a poor player, at the same time,they won't want him on the opposing team cus they were afraid he would break their legs..
And he really broke legs o . He rough tackled one of my bro one day and he couldn't walk for 3 months!. The principal banned him from playing football for the rest of the term

I can relate too. What made it so bad for us then was that they were actually twins. o boy! we rarely played football without an injured player fighting with them.

M7even:
The cadre teams maybe. But since Kanu till maybe Saka if he turns out for us, I can't recall any other Nigerian in the first team.

Well, the thing is it is either arsenal is not always patient with a player as in the case of Bennacer (AFCON winner),Jeff,Ajayi or the players want more game time (Gnabry)

Subzero047:
Balogun is back in training

Why is one leg bigger Abi na camera
