In a standard game, our players would have gotten a lot of cards, both yellow and red. What sort of playing style is this?

Is this what Philosopher1979 calls the African style?

Abeg na the Atlanta 96 style I dey talk. Also the u17 of iheanacho set. These boys have finished embarrassing us. I don tire for npfl guys

We will equalize and win the match

Ppogbae:
Just finished watching Amaju's inspiring speech to our home based guys. We could be facing Ghana, Cameroon or Canada in October. Moreover, he derided the idea of home based playera hastily signing contracts to play in countries like Belarus, Lithuania, Cyprus and other countries alike. He mentioned that he believed they were capable of going to top clubs and leagues directly instead of going through the lower leagues of Europe. He also went on to say that our guys are much better in quality than MLS players, despite the large gulf in quality of the facilities and infrastructure that exists between the two leagues.

What a speech.

Actually the North African league is better than all these obscure leagues in Europe like Latvia, Lithuania etc.
You don't expect an Alhaly or zamalek player to head to Latvia; that will be rubbish. Even the Nigerian league is better than these nonsense backwater leagues in Europe.
I read the speech online and Amaju promised that henceforth the nff will monitor their transfers and will not let Agents exploit them and send them anywhere.
That was a fantastic speech

BascoVanVeli:
That would mean we won 6-2 cos Nwakali's cracker was also 3 goals

Stop allowing the White man to deceive you. If nwakali went to the world cup he would have collected the midfield from Lucas modric. He could also have dominated Argentina in midfield.
He may have some "tactical deficiency" like not marking but there is no perfect player.
The way black origin players are treated is wicked. Nwakali contribution in midfield will have gotten us out of the group stage while the white man is saying he is not good enough.
2 years from now he will have improved and he will get a good team but we do not have to wait till that time.
European s can be funny.
Let us just express our African style and we will be okay

JohnBullMySon:
Yeah. Everyone normally has this weird feeling that something out of the ordinary will happen. 95% of the time it doesn't.

I'll say, whatever will be our best game in that match will happen while the scores are still level. Once Mexico tips it over, it becomes a rollercoaster.

The only way we would get a shocking result is to play as a team, sit back and park the bus throughout. But trust NPFL guys, they'll want to dribble and attack.

Let them dance with the ball, dribble and attack. Better to loose 5 2 than a one nill loss. Guardiola philosophy of attacking football comes to mind.
If the express themselves good teams will come for them park the bus won't help them in the long run. They should play their normal game without fear and dance with the ball.

maidaboi:
Maybe not Dennis, we want him to impress
enough to help us, but not enough to get a call-up.
Now, there are some very talented Nigerian
forwards about, but considering there were some
domestic-based forwards in their most recent
squad (including former Leicester carthorse Ahmed
Musa), this perhaps is a small window!


copied from Watford forum talking about losing players to Afcon

there are some very talented Nigerian
forwards about

this got me smiling

It shows our football academies are doing something impressive. Generally our football is improving. It was horrible 7 years ago when nobody wanted our players and they end up in obscure leagues like Finland.

Leeds united interested in kelechi nwakali. His wonder half season at Alcorcon is attracting attention.
Besides I want him to go to Leeds. Marcelo Bielsa plays technical football and will get the best out of him. It will be a dream move. Leeds will fit him perfectly

Frank onyeka may be a serious talent.

Here is a report against Liverpool
All Nigeria Soccer Log


Top Tackler, Interceptor, Most Fouled Player Frank Onyeka Shines Against Liverpool
Published: October 28, 2020
Top Tackler, Interceptor, Most Fouled Player Frank Onyeka Shines Against Liverpool
Danish champions FC Midtjylland missed out on their first Champions League point following their 2-0 loss to an under-strength Liverpool side at Anfield on Tuesday night.

It was goalless at the break but in the second half, Diogo Jota opened the scoring before Mohamed Salah scored from the penalty spot to double the advantage.

Picked as one to watch before the game, Nigeria international Frank Onyeka lived up to his billing, impressing in a ninety-minute shift despite Midtjylland's loss.

Based on the player ratings by football statistics website Whoscored, Onyeka was the Wolves' third best performer in the loss to the Reds with a rating of 6.65 and only Jens Cajuste (6.77) and Alexander Scholz (6.69) got more marks.

The Super Eagle was the most fouled player on the pitch, winning a game-high five free-kicks for his side and he was also the leading player when it comes to tackles (4) and interceptions (3).

Onyeka was accurate in 87.5 percent of his passes and won one aerial duel.

FC Midtjylland return to Champions League action when they host Ajax Amsterdam at the MCH Arena on November 3.

If

They were fighting over match bonus with nff officials and some of the players were carrying women.
Also, the coach was brought in a few months to the tournament.
indiscipline, bad administration everywhere.
The team was not focused on the match.
In fact, forget our victory over Spain. We had quality players but the team was divided and in disarray.

elyte89:
Dt Denmark match was an hallmark of lack of concentration, high indiscipline when it mattered most..same thing happened in USA 94;against Italy and it keeps repeating itself uptil date ..na African problem

realpoacher:
We can't defend against set pieces neither can we score them

We are quite poor tactically in football and most sports for that matter

The only thing we are good at is Jam-body football


Nonsense

Part of our problem is we allow Europeans to dictate what a good player is for us.
We Africans need to play our Unique African style and express ourselves. We did it under Westerhoof
Nwakali bossed atletico Madrid midfield but we think he is not good. I'm sure nwakali will boss Pogba in midfield and shock everybody.

andrewbaba44:
I heard tolu arokodare has joined amiens

How true is that?

Seems to be true. He will join up with Stephen odey there. Check the link here

BascoVanVeli:
I don't want to hear any more nonsense about the league not being professional because the same people complaining don't want things professional themselves. The same people complaining about players leaving the league now feel it is ok to take a scouting trip in the middle of the season. I am glad I brought this up.

You should be happy npfl players are bein used. That is a sign of progress. In fact uche unuansoye and Seth mayi are two attacking midfielders I have high expectations for. Also give us the low down on Samuel Nnoshiri.
At least they are given a chance. U too dey complain. At least let us be satisfied with the progress being made

Clementoke:
Complete Sport nigeria reports that Napoli are planning extending Osimhen while also inserting a release clause in the contract. The question is, what are they seeing that some of his countrymen have refused to see?

He can play as a lone striker. A lot of strikers can't play as a lone striker. That's why drogba succeeded at Chelsea. Also he can easily disorganize a defense and he is a pressing striker.

Subzero047:
You are the one that said Dessers was better than Osihmen and Haaland, hope you have not smoked your usual thing

I never said that. Quote me where I said that about desserts

12large1:
He isn't better than osimehn fam. (All due respect)

With time, he will be better.
Even theoretically, he is with his wide range of abilities. At least he is more creative as a forward.
He once had 17 assists in a single season in Serbia, The problem is his maturity was late and
he has not done it in a top 5 league.
Personally i rate players on tactics and technique andnot just league or stats alone

Sadiq Umar will emerge as the best Nigerian striker of his generation. Time will prove me right. He is the most technically sound player we have.
His technical and tactical abilities are very impressive. He will outshine anyone foreign borns or not even Tammy Abraham.
He is skillful, strong, can play as a lone striker, good in the air, creative, technical, he can play in a Guardiola team.
As I said time will prove me right. Maybe Joshua Zirkzee might defeat him but he is going to be a mega star. Strikers like him are rare in football

JohnBullMySon:
That was when the World Cup was being played with felele and drugs . Make Dem come win am again na.

Na money be the problem. Nowadays South American teams can't keep their stars. A good player in Santos is in Europe as early as 16 years old.
If the money invested in the Chinese league is invested in South America, it will catch up with Europe in less than 5 years. The difference is not much. South American teams can still win the world cup easily. Europe just has the money to buy the best South American players. Some of the world's best coaches and players are South American. Knowledge and development of football is still in South America and the rivalry will still be there

realpoacher:
At this point I don't care if the Hungarians go home, they have really given Germany a fight
.

If it were a certain Rohr that was their coach, he probably would have been singing like a canary to the whole world about how useless his team is ,and how they won't survive a group of death

The funny thing is that we have better players than that of the Hungarian team. Yet Rohr does not believe we can beat a team like Spain. Rohr is technically limited.

andrewbaba44:
Who swear for morata and spain

Another missed pk for them

Morata has to work on his finishing. Spain needs a finisher badly. I believe Moreno is a better finisher than moratta.

According to owngoalnigeria wisdom ubani and Peter agba gave been signed by standard liege.
Does supernerd or any one else have more information about this

dozai:
He should simply use the time to gather all coaching certificates he will need for his 2nd missionary journey. He is a lucky man say money no exchange hands. And him no influence any match result. Already 2yrs don pass. Since it was backdated to 2019

Actually Siasia could have been the perfect assistant to Rohr. In fact Nigerian football badly needs Siasia. He is good at youth football and he can handle our chan teams. He could have qualified us for the Olympics and chan if he was the coach. He could have succeeded where Amakpabo failed

typicalgamer:
That’s my prayer let him make first 11

Perform well on ucl and earn a big move.

Mid table clubs don taya me for our players

You should be happy. I remember during Keshi's era nonsense league
was common to our players. We had players from finish league, lithuania, latvia albania etc
At least now is an improvement.
But Awaziem will do well in Besiktas anyway.
A portuguese league player is better than a Turkish league player.
I mean portuguese league is the 6th best league in Europe (just behind the French league)
and so he will do well there going by my logic

Subzero047:
Players rarely leave the Turkish league for higher leagues and Turkey is a league that has no tolerance for mistakes as Awaziem is not a finished product, he needs a league with low pressure where he can play and develop and make a transition to a bigger league easily

Inshort he needs a new agent

I don't understand, but the portuguese league is better than the Turkish league. He is even the captain of Boavista and he has played in the Spanish league before and so i don't see the reason why he won't do well in Besiktas. In fact, he will enter their first 11 immediately.

Good

lloydtruth:
If Mukairu is that good and wanted by top clubs, how come he rarely saw game time at Anderletch especially the 2nd half of the season. Anyways we wish him success.

Hillary Gong, Hillary gong too many injuries.

What of Omerua, is he going to spend another season in the Secunda Liga and Collins will spend another season in Bundesliga 2?

No mention of Simy, Onuachu, Moffi, Ndidi, Ebiehu, Aina, Aribo etc.

Sorry, i forgot about them.

NIGERIAN TRANSFERS IN THE SUMMER

This summer will be busy for Nigerian players. I will list some below

Alhassan Yusuf: A lot of teams are after him and it may be time to
finally go to a top 5 league. Either this summer or the next he is leaving.

Sadiq Umar: He will leave Almeria this season but Almeria are too greedy and are
putting a hefty price tag on him. Some sources say he is close to going to Valencia.

Paul Mukairu: Big teams are interested in him and Anderletch cannot afford him. As a result,
teams like Inter milan and totenham are highly interested

Akinkunmi amoo: In less than 20 games, he is allready catching the interests of big teams in Europe. However,
i believe he will leave next summer when he will be ready but big teams are circulating around him like vultures and anything can happen

Frank Onyeka: His move to brentford from denmark is all but confirmed

Abraham Marcus: With his perfomance for feirense in the Portuguese Second division, a lot of teams are allready interested in him.
He will definately not stay there next season.


PLAYERS TO WATCH OUT FOR IN THE NEW SEASON.

Adewale Oladoye: He just recently signed for Genk in the Belgian league.
The 19 year old defensive midfielder has been compared to Patrick Viera by his coaches.
He had an exciting debut for his club next season and big things are expected of him.

Hilary gong: This season may finally be his season. The winger was injured for 2 years and after recovering from his injury,
he was benched for most of the season. However, he may be given playing time this season and he could really prove himself.

Abass Idriss: The central midfielder has broken into the first team of his squAD IN pACOS FEIRERA in the portugues leauge
and he is a play making midfielder. this is exciting as Nigeria lacks talent in central/attacking midfield. It will be interesting if
he has a spectacular perfomance this season.

Kelechi Nwakali: He has finally rediscovered himself and was one of the best players last season for alcorcon in the segunda league.
Whereever he goes this season, expect a spectacular perfomance from him.

Micheal Olise: the Nigerian eliible midfielder was great last season and i expect him to be even better next season. Big teams are after him and whereever he plays, he is bound to leave a good impression as an attacking midfielder.

FRANK ONYEKA'S MOVE TO BRENTFORD IS AS GOOD AS DONE
ACCORDING TO OWNGOALNIGERIA.
WELL, I BELEIVE OWNGOAL THIS TIME AROUND BECAUSE THE NEWS IS ON TWITTER

https://twitter.com/tw8bees/status/1405582745124868101

i HOPE it is true anyway

This is an article on Klelechi nwakali from the respected fondosegunda website.
His profile is rising everyday. Even spanish football circles
have started respecting him. This article was translated from spanish


KELECHI NWAKALI, THE TOTEM OF SANTO DOMINGO
BY ÁLEX GESTO03 / 05/20211530
COMPARTIR:




As the days go by, the different fans of LaLiga SmartBank teams can assess and draw conclusions from the different additions to the winter market. Those pieces designed to reinforce those weak points that may manifest themselves during the first round. Some additions that come with the incentive and incentive to operate and fix various leaks. The case of Nwakali is the one that works as soon as it falls in winter. The Alcorcón de Anquela, whose dynamics were bad, achieved with his arrival a plus for all the senses of the game. His signing has served to grow and regain breath. An arrival that has surprised everyone with its magnificent performance. Let's see why.

The Alcorcón de Anquela, after a start that served to lift them up and take them out of the descent, was losing steam as the days went by. Faced with structural failures, such as the lack of a scorer, they went to the market. The search was not fruitless, since the arrival of a piece of the level of Kelechi Nwakali has served to cement and solidify the positional game of Alcorcón. The footballer on loan from Huesca has marked a before and after in the performance of his team. With Nwakali everything has become much easier.

A totemic link for the Alcorcón


The variety of registers makes Nwakali a true totem for the potter's set. Anquela, with the presence of the Nigerian, wins in practically every aspect of the game. Kelechi is a right-handed midfielder who serves as a bridge to what happens between the center-backs and the most offensive footballers. A name of value in the offensive phase, for the ability to adhere to both parts of the scheme when the ball passes through their feet. Capital in his interventions, due to his good precision and the different passing ranges that he handles.

In addition to that good work in the technical, when receiving and combining. his dynamism is an obvious potential in his football. His stride and snatch are virtues that add a lot to the progression in his team's possessions. Height, speed and lightness available to pottery possessions. Some features that also allow him to have arrival and even appear in the vicinity of the rival area, leaving his usual position - closer to the central circle. Total mobility

Cement for Anchor
Nwakali, on the other hand, is not out of step when it comes to defensive capabilities. Take advantage of that mobility and that virtuosity in the physical to be an excellent corrector. It adds balance to the potter's game, closing gaps, marking the man and working hard in the pressure sections. His work carries a lot of weight in Anquela's team because it relieves the most offensive players of workloads. It compensates for the risks your team takes.

Read | Who is the best winter signing?
In less positional situations, Nwakali performs with the same skill and effectiveness. He has legs to aid in retreats and counterattacks. Defensively, it can be said that his work helps Alcorcón have superiorities with advanced defense. In offense, his work is important due to the speed that he can give the ball while driving or because of the offers he can make towards the rival area.

An arrival to dream
Kelechi's performance is being transcendent because of how much power he has in the game model and because of the critical moment in which he has done it. In just a few months he has become a capital footballer in the aspirations of AD Alcorcón. His form is very relevant in the team's reaction in this second round, which is gradually approaching the places of salvation. Work worth its weight in points in Santo Domingo.

Nwakali
Nwakali hits the ball in a match with Alcorcón | Ser string

Anquela clings to realities like the Nigerian to hurry and get a stay. The bonus that his incorporation has entailed, along with that of Xisco Jiménez and Dani Ojeda, have been cause for celebration in the potter team. The sports management has been successful with their arrivals and has managed to strengthen a squad that was falling in the positions of the red lantern.

We will see if the results accompany explosions like Kelechi's, which are very useful throughout the matches. Such has been his performance that many speak of his possible fit in Huesca on 21/22. What is clear is that the Nigerian's totemic figure is a prominent protagonist in the second round of LaLiga SmartBank. A signing that smells and opposes a permanence.

[quote author=TheSuperNerd post=102834705]Kelechi Nwakali was nominated for Spanish media site, Fondo Segunda's Revelation of La Liga Smartbank 20/21.

Getting more attention from good sections of the Spanish media. Testament to how well he really fared for Alcorcón this past season.
