Do you know who Alhassan Yusuf replaced at Antwerp? Just answer the question.

Tell me who did Alhassan yusuf replace

TheSuperNerd:
All Smiles, Sadiq #25

Sadiq umar ball play making skills set him apart from other nigerian forwards. He is the most technically astute forward we have. He has 19 assists over 2 seasons and some midfielders are not this creative.
At a stage man city a tiki taka team were once interested in him and he has been compared to kanu nwankwo before.
This is one of the things European clubs see in him that they are rushing him.

Transfer News: Ahmed Musa Joins Sivasspor

Ahmed Musa signs for Sivasspor. 2 yrs deal and will therefore feature in the Uefa Europa Conference League.

How about collins yira sor to genk. What is going on with it

Exciting winger Bamidele yusuf joins portuguese club estoril from spartak trnava.
That is a huge step up for him. This is wht we should not totally ignore players in obscure leagues

Wilfred Ndidi FT Stats for Leicester as CB.

Leicester 0-1 Manchester Utd - EPL Matchday 5

90mins+ played.
105 touches.
82/91 accurate passes.
90% passing accuracy.
100% ground duels won (3/3).
100% aerial duels won (1/1).
13 clearances.
1/3 accurate long balls.
5 clearances.
5 headed clearances.
2 tackles.
2 interceptions.
Was fouled once.

*A Rock Solid Central Defensive Performance from the Octopus.

*Ndidi completed the most passes (82) in the game today. Also recorded the Highest Passing Accuracy (90%) for all players to play 45mins or more.

*Ndidi should just continue getting playing time as a CB. He feels happiest and at home when he is defending and doing his ball-winnings and keeping his passes short and crisp.

Iheanacho will eventually find his way into the first team. Rodfwrs is simply foolish dropping hin on the bench. The attack badly needs him. Its inevitable

Another thing about Haaland ,man knows how not to be offside

Put timo Werner at mancity and he would have scored about 3 offside goals so far this season.

Osimhen sabi but Haaland na baba

Haaland is somehow poor in heading the ball though

Haaland has the brain of a striker. In adition he hasvthe physique. He isbperfectly crafted to be a striker.
His brain understands the striker role perfectly. Like inzaghi he can beat offside traps. Like yekinu he can shoot from any angle. He can finish one on ones. He us mobile, his movement is intelligent.
The only weakness i see is thatbhr can't take freekicks and its not even necessary

andrewbaba44:
Southampton just Dey carry city youth ,and the ones there are already doing well

From buzunu to Lavia

I thouhgt of it before. That is the best way small teams can get good players. Go to the football acadrmy of big teams and use their players.
Those top teams have amazing players in their academies. As dmsll teams dont have money this is a veritable option. Manu has one dtriker with over 500 goals at youth level. Thesr big clubs have talented kids that one can use. They are too many to count

TheSuperNerd:
I trust he will bang in goals at Sociedad. Better Quality players and potentially better service compared to Almeria at this level in Spain.

Indeed, you are right. The Sevilla game did his reputation a world of good.

Real soceidad have talrnted players. Some of them are spanish senior or youth internationalsm. Their captain has played for dortmund before. He will get the service and score goals

TheLoneCitizen:
This Richarlison lad has to have Nigerian ancestry. What is this clapback.

Brazilian football is like that. Ot is about dancing with the ball and talent. They should respect the Brazilian football heritage. Ever heard of Garincha the great dribbler or ronaldinho, Ronaldo etc
Nigerian football at is best also has elements of showboating. Okocha, odegbami dancing with the ball on thr touchline and in recent times chidera ejuke.
Maybe because in the past English football frowns at showboating but the premier league is niw global snd its changing. Showboating has to be tolerated

codemaniacs:
he has been playing division 2 football for the last 2 years.. so he needs a season of starting and playing games at top-tier level...

Look at Simy Nwankwo, once he left Crotone his goals dried up and unfortunately Crotone was relegated and are now in Serie C...

the way Almeria is playing especially with Sadiq scoring they will likely stay up... so in his footballing interest he should stay at Almeria for at least a full season...

In his financial interests then he can leave...

Real sociedad is not a rich team like chelsea that will buy players with a lot of money and bench them. He will enter their first team immediately. He will score goals and create chances in real sociedad

Haywhy1002:
Ogenyi Onazi joined a series D club, Kashamadupe FC

All the best for him sha

He should retire from football. He should stop disturbing himself.

codemaniacs:
because most Nigerian coaches believe the ball must be kicked over the defense and a pacy striker runs after the ball and scores... It boils down to laziness of Nigeria football coaching methods and lack of proper ball playing players..

U20 falconets passed the ball and were able to string passes..

Then we need a coaching revolution and a new set of young coaches with fresh ideas. The average nigerian ciach must be very poor and outdated. It shows in the players tgey produce.
The moat important ingredient for developing football is coaching

Victor Boniface scores for unioun st gallen
Thus is getting serious. I think i will take him more seriously from now on

Sorry to chip this in,....... sometimes I wonder why a country like ivory coast could not win a trophy with players like Didier drogba,Yaya toure,kolo toure,Didier zokora, Emmanuel ebuoe,gervinho, Salomon kalou,

I mean this are electric talents that would be starters,in any European national team,but ivory coast struggled to win afcon with them
I know this is not related to what we talking about but I am just curious

Its nothing new. Tgey are great underachievers of African football. They do not even do well in the world cup.
I think it is down to ciaching and discipline. They are nov lucky with coaches.
Maybe they should hire a coach like Maurinho. Im just joking

TheLoneCitizen:
Ejuke should have had at least two assists today.

Is ot tgat he created the chances and tge strikers mussed it or he was overdribbling and did not pass on time. Let me know i am highly interested

Salisu Yusuf talking about the home base match against Ghana


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKvbITaoHzk

That team lacks creative miďfielders and will loose. Salisu yusuf is making the mistake of packing the team with forwards and ignoring ghf midfield.
Im not sure but what do u think of our midfielders. I hope im wrong. But from my intwrnet search as dont watch the pfl te best attacking midfielders were nt chsen. Maybe yuou can shed more light on this issue.

Polytechnic education is important if nigeria wants to move forward.
In fact uts is necessary for industralization. Something is very wrong with our attitude towards education.
Practical training is needed for industries.
We simply don't understand education in this country

Musa Muhammed scored his first Goal of the 22/23 Bosnian&Herzegovinan Premijer Liga (AKA Liga 12) for his new side, FK Sarajevo as they secured a 2-2 draw away from home vs FK Željezničar.

It was his 1st goal in 7 league games (all starts).

He is a serious dissapointmeny and a waste of talent. I lost interest in him when he moved to the obscurity of the Bosnian league.
What a wasted talent. I wonder what went wrong. He has no ambition at all

Danielnino00:
The last statement in the tweet is golden..
The guy knows the right thing for himself..He wants to stay.. He no rate Man Utd at all..So calm down.

Make una use Anthony, Pako, and the likes to rebuild . Leave Osimhen for more serious teams like Bayern and PSG next season abeg...

Osimhen should stay and develop in Napoli. Manu is too unstable for now. He can move to a better team in 2 years time. He will make money with time.
He should not allow himself to be used as a pawn by Ronaldo.
He needs to even develop himself to be a better player.

There is leadership failure in Nigeria and EVERTHING IS COLLApSING
Our leaders are serious failures. The fact that they have money is what we fail to understand.
Incidentally, they stole this money from us through corruption.
The issue is we are not been ruled by intellectuals.
We are been ruled by political thugs who are shallow minded and cannot see beyond their selfish interests.
Education, security, economy is collapsing everyday but our leaders have no clue because
they have lost the capacity to think and be intellectual.
When you alienate intellectualism from leadership, society will disintegrate into war, poverty and anything.
We have to realize we have failures as leaders.
Okay those in charge of education in the country are simply FAILURES. They are so confused and myopic

TheSuperNerd:
I am aware of footballtalentscout (by Jacek Kulig). I know the site. We have also interacted twice.

Yes apart from that i was going through rashid yekinis profile and i saw that he has over 500 career goals. I think he is the only African ti achieve this feat.
Try and notify the nff (Nigerian football authorities) about this. Eto, drogba etc did not score up to 500 career goals.
We need to make it more public. The white people celebrate their heroes and keep records more than us

TheSuperNerd:
Anglo-Nigerian and Arsenal lad on loan, Folarin Balogun scored for Stade De Reims to earn them a point in a 1-1 draw away at Strasbourg.

This makes it 3goals in 3 league games (2 starts). All scored consecutively across 3 matchdays. #InForm.

I became alerted to his potential when the footballtalentscout website likened him to Victor Osimen. I will shiw you the site later. The boy is going places

Alhassan muazum ibrahim scored for beershift today in the Belgian second division.
The guys career is now rather mediocre. I hope thigs improve from here.
He was struggling for game time in the portuguese second division last season before he came to beershoft

mostob:
At a time during the match, i was asking myself if it is this same football the girls dey play, na him man utd dey play.

Rofiat Imuran was so impressive. WOTM for me.

Manchester United should use players from their academy and forget about the stars they have.
They should concentrate on team work and tactics. The kind of formation they want to use and how the players fit into the formation
players like iqbal, elanga will improve with time. The set of paul scholes and the like were academy players.
If they should buy players they should target players under 25 who want to work and are proud to be manu players.
All these stars will lead them to disaster with their lack of commitment.
Academy players is the way forward and they should instill discipline and team work on them

charlesemeka85:
villareal president said that sadiq is beyond their reach because of his price tag. it seem they have pulled out from the deal. the only interested team as of now is getafe

Almeria are selfish. They need him to help them escape relegation. They are not desperate for money as they have a rich arab who brought the club a few years ago.
A few years from now sadiq umar will start fighting with them as he will be desperate to leave. I suggest he should refuse to sign a contract extension.
Next summer willbbe war between sadiq and almeria. They are too selfish and greedy

BannedLarge:
Nwakali ahead of Aribo. This man you must either be a Criminal or an Agent because what sane person will drop Aribo for nwakali (passing attributes or not)

Tactics matter in football. Okay play Cristiano Ronaldo as a central defender and see what will happen.
What a player can do is important. Aribo is simply not a central midfielder wven if he plays for real Madrid.
Nwakali, iwobi etc is better in passing from midfield.
We gave heard about club form.

TheSuperNerd:
Kelechi Nwakali just bagged a sumptuous long pass assist from deep in midfield to put Ponferradina ahead away at Cartegena.

Wow! What a way to start at your new club.

Nwakali will prove a lot of people wrong. He will be one of the best players in segunda division and move on to something better. Some clubs are monitoring him but he mist perform.
He should take a cue from sadiq umar and play himself out of obscurity

jihday:
Onyekuru pass was splendid. Is the Akintola guy 100% Nigerian?

Forget this Monaco thing.
His effectiveness in the last third of the pitch is needed in the national team
These Europeans are funny with our players.
Who will see this kind of player and drop him?
His coaches at Monaco must be ridiculous
Im sure he is the kind of player that can only play in a kind of formation.
Monaco made a serious mistake not using him.
He is too devastating to be ignored
This kind of player can win the Nations cup for us.
Europeans again are not GOD
and their judgement is not always infallible

Subzero047:
Man U is now disgusting me and I'm not even a supporter, Man U supporters how do you cope

Manchester United have a psychological problem. Maguire should be driven away from the club. As the captain he is infecting the players with his lackadaisical attitude. They should hire a psychologist to psychoanalyze the players. They appear unmotivated and simlly dont care.
The team needs discipline, hardwork and leadership.
Anyway this wasvhow the golden generation of Super eagles werewas jn france 98 and they were dropped for the 2002 world cup.
Manu needs to do something drastic.
They should use their academy players. These big names are doing nothing. They badly need leadership. It is not about quality players anymore.

According tobwikipedia rashid yekini scored over 520 career goals. This is astonishing for an African let alone Nigerian. Not many africans have done that.he deserves commendation for this.
Let us see if Osimhen has 500 career goals.
Very impressive

Transfer News: Uba Charles, 19yrs, joins Lillestrøm SK

Uba Charles, 19 y/o Midfielder signs for Norwegian Eliteserien side, Lillestrøm SK on a 4 yrs contract.

He will join them from January 1, 2023.

Will finish the season at present side, Ljungskile SK before joining Lillestrøm fully.

Ljungskile SK plays in the Swedish Third Tier (Ettan, Sodra).

Recall Lillestrøm SK has 3 Naija Lads in Igoh Ogbu, Ifeanyi Matthew and Akor Adams.

He is from idol football academy in Nigeria.
i checked. He went to sweden last year.
WHAT pROpONENTS OF HOME BASED pLAYERS DONT REALIZE
is that our grassroots football is tied directly to foreing and European leagues.
They have bypassed the npfl and go straight to the football academies attached to the grassroots.
Any npfl player that you call to the national team is probably from a football academy and
will get out of the country in less than a year
