Taken on the captainship role like duck to water. International poise tinged with local understanding of how things work.

Remember back in the day before the 2018 WC he alongside Mikel represented the players during meetings with NFF officials over bonuses. Didn't understand why then but I get it now.

He's so suave, so diplomatic.

BankyGee:
Definitely, my doc! The goal ratio dey burst my head! So it's:

🧢 39 games
⚽ 25 goals
🅰️ 11 assists

Osimhen is an asset! You my doc, are also the GOAT 🐐

If say this guy no be Nigerian, I for change citizenship to the country wey him be.

Osi baba, gives us so much joy. Them reach camp baba just quiet. Game day baba knack dem kpom kpom

BankyGee:
The way he acts, the way he speaks, the way he interacts, the way he plays - everything speaks class and leadership! 💎

I tell you. I just pray the team wins something to cement his place in our football history. One cannot listen to him speak and not be impressed. Guy is good. Carries everyone along. I like him.

Ekong na gem. I look forward to seeing him as a coach of the SE.

Starboytwo:
That defender almost met up with Osimhen. I won't put my money on Boniface to escape that last defender...

You know leverkusen Boniface is different from Nigeria own.

I pity the defender. He run, he try but it is what it is 🤣🤣

minfelix:
wish Yekini was alive to witness his goal scoring beast replica….
watching highlights of our 90-98 super eagles then we must agree that Yekini and Osimhen possess similar striking aura
1. rugged sprinting to score a looping cheeky goal
Rwa vs Nig (Osimhen second goal)
Nig vs Gabon (Yekini second goal)

2. charging/wrestling a defender to win a ball
Cam vs Nig (Osimhen wrestling a defender to make an assist to lookman at the afcon)
Nig vs Zaire(Yekini second goal charge at the defender that led to a penalty goal)

3. long leg instinct

4. Talking or charging boisterously with hand command and face gesture after scoring a goal or after a missed attempt as though you were the team leader or captain

This is what we need in a super eagles striker…
-boniface
-awoniyi
-Tolu
-Dessers
-Sadiq
-Onuachu
-Moffi
-Orban
all these guys need to study the above points.

we also enjoyed some part of these striking aura with the likes of
-Obafemi Martins(sprinting striker)
-Odion Ighalo(bullish striker)
-Ikechukwu Uche(sprinting striker)
-Julius Aghahowa(long leg/sprinting striker)
abeg abeg abeg, super eagles dont need strikers that turns his back at opponets keepers…
CHARGE THAT DEFENSE!!
BULLY THAT DEFENDER!!
SPRINT PASS THAT DEFENSE!!
and see the way 9ja fans will love you

But omo Rashidi get shot. Outside bullet

solonnachi:
The goals too sweet abeg

I tell you

BascoVanVeli:
Same as his Sao Tome goal

I've watched the goal more than 10x.

Sugarboyy:
Add Uche, Onyeka and Bashiru to the midfield and we are good to go. Not all countries can't boast of having Pedri and his likes.
I liked Yusuf ball control today even though he was being played out of position and was making wrong decisions when with the ball

I don't like it when players are played out of position. It compromises the player's game. Like Ola Aina didn't play his best game today. Ola should play on the right abeg. Bruno on the left.

charlesemeka85:
exactly, even if we don’t make it to World Cup which I pray doesn’t happen the NFF should retain Chelle and allow him to take the team to the afcon

I bet you 9ja go win

That midfield needs to be sorted out. It's still hasn't gelled

charlesemeka85:
Chelle to be honest knows what his doing. So sad that I couldn’t watch the game but from the highlight I’m impressed

Like I hv always said SA is the biggest challenge in this group and I pray they drop points as the qualifiers goes

We will need just that wee bit of luck.

That second goal too cheeky. Baba just dink the ball over the goalkeeper

Afobear:
I will sign my life away to afford that 100.... I want to watch your downfall crystal clear

You wey we dey reason to offer to the gods as a temple hand in thanks giving when we qualify 🤣🤣

Goke7:
Coachee this one pass you o!

Be careful 😡😡. Why discourage him? Don't you know that lawyers hammer when their clients hammer?

ChrisKels:
No excuses for Tolu because I'm quite familiar with his style. He always plays with his back to the goal. He never takes on defenders or breath down on goalkeepers while with the ball. What he showed today is his typical game style, and I will reiterate, he had no reason running away from the goal with the ball in that position as a striker. He was supposed to take on those defenders to force a save from the goalkeeper or play his man on.

How striker go dey play with his back to the goal. All this woke football of nowadays.

Rashidi, Batistuta, Ronaldo de Lima, Kluivert dem didn't play this way.

elyte89:
Ppu don’t knw aw difficult dis match was considering factors in it.chelle really tried in dis one…1 his first official game 2 A wcq (away must win game;dis two alone can out any manager and his team into immense pressure

And finally (3 …not getting use to d new system of d coach .

Finidi was panicky. I watched his interview on Arisetv before our first match. That was where I began to be afraid. The shoe was too big for him.

Starboytwo:
There's no point in breaking out alone by Tolu Arokodare and lose the ball when we are 0-2 up and easing the game out....

Y'all only see negative part, what about the positive part. What about the 3 good long balls he won, with his height. I counted 3... He is not sluggish or slow but he put body for ball and fight...

Infact I'm highly impressed with Tolu Arokodare today... More impressive than Boniface has ever been in Eagles.

Also, this is is Debut...

Mehn, y'all forget about Dessers. He is not in the team for a reason..

Tolu did not play badly.

9JAMac10:
If we win our next two games. The decider will be the crunching game versus South Africa in South Africa. I be leave we can beat SA on their own turf

Let's pray for Benin to win South Africa oo. If we win and Benin wins, the top leaders will be on 9, 10, 11 points or Benin should draw. Then it will 9,9,11.

daveP:
Among all the 9s, sustaining Intensity overall, na Dessers. The rest get as their game be. Yeah they don't need to be similar. But all have been tested and now this. Chai. Maybe na tired teammates sha. But I don't like his off ball play.

I don talk am say once you tall and dey logologo I no go invite you.

But he played for just 15 minutes sha. Make we give am more time

comodo:
Give Chelechukwu his flowers. He has broken that record

If destiny is on his side, we will qualify. Meanwhile I need to fortify the offerings to the gods oo.

They are asking for 1 bitcoin. Forumites make una come oo.

daveP:
Dessers for sweet pass this guy.

He no be am.

I hate this thing Nwabali does!!

villagereporter:
The Gods have accepted the sacrifice.

Thank you baba

We thank the gods

Goke7:
For this match, make pattern and formation go rest, we just need the win either by bp or by convulsion

Anyway na way oo

Rwanda say make dem free body go attack us. We use another goal tie their leg 🤣🤣🤣

Goke7:
make una forget pattern for now abeg, na result we need. Anyhow, let the boys get the result.

My brother. I no see pattern oo. Dem say na diamond, dem say na midfield to attack. I sha know we are two goals up. I sha know say I no see Ndidi, I no see Chukwueze.

COOL10:
We've been losing the midfield battle. Our passes aren't connecting well. The RMF (Chukwueze) and LMF(Moses) look confused. The entire gameplay is very slow. It's a miracle that we're 2:0 up, honestly.

Sometimes you need luck. I hope we preserve our lead.

Odunayaw:
Chelle needs to pour water on Ndidi and Chukwueze make dem awake from their zuzu

Iwobi even dey run around. Like shebi dem say who no run no go play. Oya oo, make I run. 🤣🤣

Afobear:
They gods are a bit drunk today

I dey use one eye dey look you. I will be back for you.

It's done. The eagles are flying

Na Iwobi I dey see oo. I no see Ndidi oo

If we can score them one more, e don finish. They've not even entered our box 18
