WHY IT MAY BE BETTER FOR NDIDI TO STAY IN LEICESTER

Ndidi might be better off staying in leicester because
THEIR NEW COACH IS A TIKI TAKA POSSESSION FOOTBALL COACH. HE IS ONE OF GUARDIOLAS ASSISTANTS
AS A RESULT, HE IS FORCING NDIDI TO PLAY TECHNICAL FOOTBALL PASS AND ATTACK WITH THE BALL
IN FACT, HE IS NOW PLAYING HIM AS A BOX TO BOX MIDFIELDER
THIS IS WHAT HAS BEEN MISSING ABOUT NDIDI'S GAME AND WHY HE IS NOT IN A BIG CLUB
HE NEEDS SOMEWHERE WHERE HE CAN LEARN THE BASICS
IF HE CAN SPEND A SEASON LEARNING HOW TO BE TECHNICALLY ASTUTE THEN HE CAN MOVE TO
A BIGGER CLUB BUT HE MAY HAVE TO STOOP TO CONQUER

AS PER IHEANACHO THE COACH PREFERS HIM BECAUSE HE SUITS A POSSESION PLAYING TEAM
HE IS PREFERRED AHEAD OF VARDY FOR TACTICAL REASONS
THE COACH LIKES HOW HE MOVES BACK IN MIDFIELD AND DRAGS THE CENTER BACKS OUT OR POSITION
I HAVE ALLWAYS FELT IHEANACHO WILL DO WELL IN AN AVERAGE TEAM IN A TECHNICAL LEAGUE/TEAM THAT
PLAYS TECHNICAL FOOTBALL.
TEAMS LIKE CELTA VIGO, PARM ETC IN ITALY OR SPAIN.

AS PER NDIDI
IF HE STAYS HE HAS TO LEARN!!! LEARN!!! AND BECOME MORE TECHNICAL
IF NOT THE NEXT ONE YEAR WILL BE WASTED

TheLoneCitizen:
Why?

We might loose Gift Orban to Togo because of NFF irresponsibility and bias.
The only reason he might not play for Togo is the fact that Togo cannot achieve much in international football.
Togo is just an ekuke team with nothing much.
Its better we invite him to play our next competitive match and field him even if it is for a minute
A player like this might end up in bayern, barcelona, chelsea in the next 3 to 5 years.
He can play as a winger or anything in the team.
We have to act fast before we loose him to Togo

Halleluyah!! Our midfielder is back. I hpoe he fullfills his potential

charlesemeka85:
Amokachi and Siasia can never be compared to great king Kanu

Kanu was the black Dennis Bergkamp

This is an excerpt from Afcon 2006 Nigeria vs Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe coach says Kanu's a "wizard"

We had a good first half, but when Kanu came in on resumption, things changed and in the course of about five minutes of madness, my defence line caved in. I think Kanu is a phenomenon in the Nigerian team. I will call him a wizard," Mhlauri remarked.

Port Said, Egypt (PANA) - Coach Charles Mhlauri of Zimbabwe has attributed his team's 2-0 loss Friday to the Super Eagles of Nigeria to the entry in the match of striker Nwankwo Kanu in the second half.
the Zimbabwean coach noted that if Kanu had not been introduced in the match, the 'Warriors' of Zimbabwe had 'enough weapon to hold the Eagles'.

https://coupedafrique.winoo.com/Africancup2006/index.cfm/md/11/id/1641/Zimbabwe_coach_says_Kanu_s_a_wizard__ACN_2006_.cfm

And this was when kanu was on a decliine
10 minutes of Kanu can change a match.

TheGoodJoe:

Kanu Nwankwo brought far more to the team than goals. That is why he was key and regular. His operation of deep and bringing the other forward players into game was a prime tactical strength of the team. That was why he played for the likes of Ajax when they were winning Champions League and reached the finals and Arsenal in their most dominant time.

The goals of Siasia and Amokachi never got them close to such level or recognition.

in afcon 2000 he had a hattrick of assists against Tunisia.
His ability in midfield was the only thing that kept us going
from 2006 to 2010.
In the period we will play rubbish and kanu will come in and change the game from midfield
I remember our matches against senegal and zimbabwe in afcon 2006, 2008 or 2010
i can remember.
He was a magician who changed the game from midfield.
Kanu trumps amokachi and siasia in his ability to control the midfield and create chances.
He simply was more of a midfielder was more creative, could play possesion football
and made life easier for our forwards

Marjoribanks:
The team lost to a ten man Italian team cos Amokachi and amuneke did not have adequate replacement. Even Yekini does not have a great substitute. Rest this talk guy man cos you were not even alive then. Name calling Kanu shows you know nothing about that team. Even Bulgaria that we defeated got to the semi finals. That team failed. Simple.

What i dont like about that generation is that they were underachievers. Tge france 98 team was more talented than the morocan team if the 2022 world cup but the moroccan team got better results. Indiscipline killed tgat generation. They failed Africa
Secondly we cant keep living in the past. We have gifted players now. Daniel daga and akinsanmiro are commjng up.
In fact danuel daga at 16 is wannted by Liverpool ac milan etc

Samantha124:
The problem is our ruling party ANC, it's very corrupt... The Eskom CEO even had to resign earlier this year after he made some allegations about some top ANC members being behind the Eskom corruption resulting in the power cuts.

Shortly after that, he resigned and left SA... My guess is that his life was under a threat by the ANC.

If the anc is dominated by blacks as i guesd it will only make white people asert that blacks cannot rule and if they rule it will lead to retrogression and underdevelopment

charlesemeka85:
onyedika is doing well in Belgium 🇧🇪 but rejecting Milan was a big mistake because he would hv been a perfect replacement for Tonali who left for Newcastle this summer

Well you may be right but then he needed playing time to develop himself better.
Read about him on totalfootballanalysis.
Belgian league develops young players like him and that is what he needed.
He will enter top 5 league when the time comes

charlesemeka85:
Serie A club Nuhu Shuaibu joins Italian Serie B club Reggiana

im happy. Our midfield options are getting better.
read about him on owngoalnigeria.
What more do you now about him.
What academy did he play for in Nigeria

Joebie:
This ur write up make me confuse whether na sarcasm u dey or real talk. The way u write am dey do me one kind for body. If na Charles na I go already know where he dey go.

Na real talk. I mean it.
The other solutions are inexperienced and uncertain for january afcon.
The part of morocco is an exageration but at least even against classy midfielders he will not be overwhelmed

ONE OF THE SOLUTiONS TO OUR MiDFiELD PROBLEMS iS KELECHI NWAKALI

A veritable solution to our midfield problems is nwaali
People who hate him are somwhat bias and illogical.
We simply dont have many options.
i am only been logical
1. We have fantastic forwards
2. We lac creative midfielders apart from iwobi
3. Nwaali addition will boost the creativity of our midfield
4. logically speaking we could have qualified for the world cup if he played against Ghana.
5. Again with logic if he plays in the next nations cup we might win it.
why?
his ability to dominate the midfield will mae us win matches.
Cant you see we have the best attac in Africa?
with him in our midfield there is no one that can defeat us in African football
We will beat sengal mali egypt morocco etc
to see how good he is let Nigeria play Morocco and put him in midfield
i am confident that he can collect the midfield from Arambat and all these moroccan midfielders
God has given us a solution to our problems but we despise him and we will suffer for it if we dont appreciate him
He is and can be our secret weapon but
A lot of people here dislie him for no logical reason.
Time will prove them wrong

What is the lastest in the suoer eagles coach. Is it peseiro or another coach. July is over and it is August. Time is going

AndSunGorilla:
Ol boy make he go collect im share o. The Saudi largesse won't last forever. Remember when it was China. Because he played in Saudi doesn't mean he won't be able to get back to Europe jare. Afterall Ighalo got into Man Utd from China.

He should wait till he is 31 before going to collect his money.
He is on the verge of maing history.
If he goes now it will be hard to come back as he may be too expensive for
most european clubs. A club may need 200 million to buy him back.
Let him fulfil his destiny for another 7 years before going.
These money leagues will always be there.
if it is not saudi arabia today it is usa or china tommorow.
Even south america may attract investors soon
Let him stay and break any record.
Besides his level may go down if he heads for saudi.
He should just stay in Europe and go and get his money when he is 31 or 32

Tolulopefinest:
Great things has always been happening.

But does it reflect when they play for Super Eagles ?

One day a good coach will figure this out put one and one together and product a great team
that will do wonders.
By the way i was reading an analysis of Raphael Onyedika on totalfootballanalysis and i was stunned
According to the site
1. He can play passes to wingers and break one or two defensive lines
2. He can make progressive passes for his team and is good at progressing the ball for his team upfield
3. He can also mark well.
I may be exagerating but everything about what they said sounded like Sunday Oliseh
remember the pass he gave Yekini at afcon 94. From what i read he is capable of stuff like that.
Read the analysis below
https://totalfootballanalysis.com/player-analysis/raphael-onyedika-the-21-year-old-midfielder-making-a-big-name-for-himself-with-club-brugge-scout-report

These are excerpts from the article. Not my words but that of totalfootballanalysis which is a respected website


He averages 42.2 passes per 90 in all competitions this season while also averaging 7.58 progressive passes per 90, which is a very high value for a midfielder. This means that he is one of the most critical progressors for his side and is very crucial for their transition from the first to the second phase and the second to the third phase in possession.

The image below shows him playing a long pass that progresses the ball for his team and finds a free man in space on the wing.

He is also good at disguising passes when playing it forward for his teammates. The advantage of such passes are that it takes a lot of opposition players out of the equation and breaks lines swiftly. We can see an example of that in the image below where his body orientation suggests that he is going to play a pass to the full-back near the wing. However, he eventually plays it forward to one of the wingers out there in the forward line thus breaking two lines of defence at once.

Samueltemi337:
And he scores

This young man is a wizard.
is he destined for the real madrids barcelonas man city manchester united and juventus of this world?
Only time will tell

Marjoribanks:
Dennis to Atlanta heating up as I reported some few weeks ago!

Life is unfair. David okereke to me is a netter player than dennis.
But maybe david foes not have a good agent of marketer

BascoVanVeli:
Local players have to get money in Saudi. Those guys are worst than south African players, you never see them anywhere but their league

When u add their mostly above average players to some of the best players in the world the league should be quality.

Well i have thought of it.
The only league that can use money to catch up with the European league
is the South American league especially Brazil and Argentina.
The other leagues will try in vain.
if i had money i will invest in the Brazilian league and within 5 years it will catch up with Europe.
i dont thin saudi arabia can catch up with Europe.
in fact by default a player in Sao Paoulo or any top team in brazil might be better than a player in Brentford or fulham.
Thats how good the South American league is by default.
With money players like endrick, neymar etc wont go and some of the best players in europe will go to South America
and it will dust Europe in a short time

Juanmike:
Nop, it'd just for a year, A win win for PSG ,Madrid and himself.
A deal of the century.
Ronaldo effect is s thing.

Is it that after a year he can go to madrid for free. If so it is giod.
Madrid gets him for free

Scout report on Ebenezer Aisanmiro (from panafricafootball.com)

Player Description

Akinsanmiro plays in a similar style to Andrés Iniesta. Both play either as a central midfielder or an attacking midfielder. Akinsanmiro is an orchestrator, someone who controls the midfield, kickstarting attacks with his technical skills and offensive input. He can play on either side in Inter’s 4-3-3 defensive formation, and he’s also played as the #10 in the 4-2-3-1. He’s played roles as a creator, a box-to-box midfielder, or even a mezzala, drifting in from the outside into the inside with his cutting, energetic playstyle.

He has great touch, dribbling skills, and vision. However, Akinsanmiro is also an intelligent interpreter of the game. He shares the same tendencies as Iniesta; he retains the ball, penetrates the defense from the outside, plays incisive one-twos, and often sends the ball to the wings. Iniesta and Akinsanmiro both work hard on offense and defense, are agile and athletic, and make big plays on both ends of the ball.
General Pros and Cons
Pros

+ Excellent dribbler who controls the ball really well and is comfortable using all parts of his feet.

+ Incredible distributor who can facilitate play with his incredible vision.

+ Solid tackler who shows incredible technique with his tackling.
Cons

– Often puts too much power on his shot leading to many attempts going off target.

– Ineffective when it comes to aerial duels due to his height.

Technical

+ Solid dribbler with incredible ball control. He can take the ball upfield for huge counters, beat the press, and turn quickly and unexpectedly to draw fouls. He has a good touch on the ball and can control, shift, and kill the ball pretty easily.

◊

Good passer with a lot of vision. Akinsanmiro is reliable in possession and can pick out players on the move. He also goes for some imaginative passes that unlock the defense, but his long passes look iffy at times.


Evaluation: Ready for a loan to Serie B for match experience

Akinsanmiro is already a key player for Inter Milan Primavera, so he could reasonably be ready for a loan to a Serie B club or a low-quality Serie A side. But, don’t expect him to get many minutes in Inter’s senior team without the help of a big breakout season.

Joezinho:
Orban is a scoring sensation upfront. He could be SE Obafemi martins type player. He is gifted with positional awareness and thrives for more goals. Finding gaps, angles and opportunities to score.

I really would love man utd to sign him. He’s Cheaper, a huge United fan and a prolific goal scorer. .He’ll do the same job as hojlund.

i dont now but from the little i saw of Gift Orban it seems
he can play on the wings as a wing forward.
if that is the case it will be easy to fit him into the Super Eagles team
as a wing forward

PstDapo:
Even in poor neighbourhoods, hungry-looking girls still dey dish that pussay for those yeye boys wey be like who no get future but know the "game" and still package dey bill guys wey no sabi anything outside money. Guys wey get future sef, are not left out.

I saw it all living and working in Yenagoa, Warri, Owerri and Lagos. Abuja not left out. Broke futureless boys are terrible in that Yenagoa - slaying pussays endlessly. The same girls go package go Port Harcourt and you'll see men with money and their life, organized, worshipping dem like say dem no dey shiit.

It only takes a few minutes for a girl to know if you are game-conscious. If she is money-hungry, she go avoid you (knowing that she can't manipulate a game-conscious man) but still has her eye on you. If u nor "sabi", na taxing straight.

It's shocking to see that a lot of guys don't know/see these things. I just weak.

The problem is that women now enjoy sex
due to the fact that modern society has put an end to female circumssision
A lot of girls are not circumssised and so they fuc around as they may enjoy sex more than even the men.
As a result the only bill simps who dont understand this fact.
Our forefathers circumsised women and even put Magun on their body in order for them not to be
promiscous.
i am not in support of female circumsission but society controlled female sexuality in the past
to avoid paternal fraud.
There is even a Yoruba proverb that says
"Poron Obirin ibudo asewo ni"
Which means
"A womans clitoris Is the source of sexual immorality"
The modern female is uncircumssised and sexually liberated
This makes them to behave anyhow and fuc around.

lovewins:
Amazing talent. Surprised he's going to Spain, cause asides being a talented footballer, he's also a brainiac in academia. Very unlikely he'll be playing for Nigeria with the talent he's got.

We have
Daniel daga
Ebenezer Akinsanmiro
Victor Eletu
Samson Tijani
In the next 2 to 3 years we will discover more.
Our grassroots football is working.
So we are not desperate.
Even though it will be nice if he plays for us

charlesemeka85:
Nwakali to sign 3 year deal with Portuguese club GD Chaves

Is there any source apart from owngoal where u got this information

TheSuperNerd:
Joebie is right. Leaving out Ndidi now and including talented but "inexperienced" youngsters like Daga and Akinsanmiro is a NO for NOW.

Akinsanmiro is already of a profile we have hardly seen in the Super Eagles in recent times. A natural born mezzala. His time is coming.

As for Daniel Daga, he would in time "hopefully" grow to become "that guy" in the CDM role battling it out with a currently ready and top-flight-football tested Onyedika but FOR NOW, Ndidi remains strongly in the picture.

Understand something about transitions. It is not entirely swift. Most times, it's slow and requires a little more patience giving room for the upgrades to mature a little more before slotting them in permanently.

U forgot samson tijani. I leatnt he is back from injury and is even part of the preseason squad.
Anyway what is the latest news on ibrahim oseni the kid said to be on trails in Barcelona. He is a midfielder

Another remo stars product.
Remo stars and kunle soname has big dreams.
10 to 15 years from now or even less nigeria will have players in real madrid. Barcelona. Inter milan etc.
The next thing is to win the world cup.
Thanks to people like kunle soname and other similar dreamers it will happen

So Nigeria withdrew from the U20 tournament in Cote d'Ivoire, and we were bashing Pinnick, this one is already worse, you're withdrawing from a tournament in a world cup year where you're getting extra funding from FIFA for participation alone. Shame!

Which tournament is that

And we blame d likes of eze and co rejecting us

Nff and its administrative problems is the root cause of the problems of Nigerian football.
If nff can do what is right we can actually win the world cup.
Even the coach and players of the u20 may not have been paid. It goes on and on
