Who paid this writer Opinion: Coach Gernot Rohr Has Discovered Talents For The Super Eagles of Nigeria opera.com Coach Gernot Rohr is now one of the longest serving coaches of the Super Eagles of Nigeria. The German tactician has arguably done so much that he has not been sacked since he took over the managerial role in the Super Eagles of Nigeria in 2016. The German tactician has done well for the Nigerian National team because of the following. 1. He has discovered new talents for the super Eagles of Nigeria; one of the latest talents he has discovered is Chidera Ejuke. He brought Chidera Ejuke to the national team, and he is one of the futures of the Nigerian football. Most of the fans do complain that he does not know how to use players. Remember, he was the one who discovered most of these players. He is building the Nigerian National team. We may not see this right now, but with time, the results will speak for him. 2. He qualifies Nigeria for the world cup in 2018 without permutations; on the 7th of October 2017, Nigeria became the first African country to qualify for the 2018 world cup after a 1-0 win over Zambia. Nigerian Super Eagles, over the years, has struggled to qualify for World Cups and probably, Nations Cups. Nigerians will end up wishing that other teams draw their games to make Nigerian Super Eagles to qualify. Ever since Gernot Rohr took over, Nigeria now qualifies for tournaments without having many permutations. 3. Another of his achievements was qualifying Nigeria to the 2019 nations cup and fishing in third place. Nigerian Super Eagles had good games at the tournament in 2019, and it took the superb free-kick of Algerian Mahrez to send Nigeria back from the semi-final of the tournament. 4. Another big thing he is doing at the moment is, qualifying the Super Eagles for the 2022 world cup. Nigerian Super Eagles is on the verge of qualifying for the world cup again. He deserves nothing less than appreciation from Nigerians. 1 Like |

Who Failed To Pass The Litmus Test To Earn A Big Move opera.com Paul Onuachu's failure to pass the litmus test showed why Arsenal, other Premier League clubs decided not to sign him. When the 2021 summer transfer window opened, two Nigerian players were tipped for a major move following their brilliant performance last season. The crazy two minutes in the picture: Onuachu misses two penalties and asks teammates if he can only apologize to fans | 11th match day JPL - Archysport Onuachu and Simy Nwankwo were the two players after the record-breaking campaign they had Genk and Crotone's colours, respectively. Fan View: Onuachu would score more goals than Simy in the Premier League | Goal.com Simy scored 20 goals for the relegated Crotone in the Italian Serie A, thereby becoming the first Nigerian to reach that number in a single season in any of Europe's top five leagues. He also became the highest scoring Nigerian in the Italian top-flight last season. Calciomercato, la Fiorentina vuole Simy | Il Crotone ha una richiesta But Simy's performance was dwarfed by Onuachu's exploit for Genk. The former Midtjylland striker scored 33 league goals for Genk last season, making him the first Nigerian to score 30 goals in Europe's top ten leagues since Richard Daddy Owubokiri scored 30 for Boavista in 1993. EPL: Alan Shearer disagrees with Solskjaer after Man Utd's defeat - Prompt News However, despite the remarkable exploits of Onuachu and Simy, only the latter was able to secure a move- albeit to the newly-promoted Salernitana in the Italian top-flight, which raises the question of why clubs decided to shun the former despite the search for a goalscorer. OFFICIAL: Simy Nwankwo Joins Serie A Club Salernitana On Loan - Onuachu was actually linked with a host of Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and West Ham. But none of these clubs made a concrete offer for his services despite Genk asking for just 20m euros. Paul Onuachu 2021 - Welcome to Arsenal ? - Amazing Skills & Goals | HD - YouTube Failure to pass the litmus test shows why clubs decided not to take a chance on him. Genk's 30-goal striker Paul Onuachu 'hopes to end up at Arsenal' after admitting Gunners would be 'dream' transfer The Super Eagles striker has started the new campaign in brilliant form with 11 goals in 16 appearances, but he fluffed his lines when the big challenge came in Genk's clash against West Ham. Europa League LIVE: West Ham v Genk score & updates, plus Vitesse v Tottenham in Europa Conference League - Live - BBC Sport Given the Hammers were one of the clubs interested in him, Onuachu had the chance to impress his potential suitors. However, he failed to have an impact on the game. The Nigerian international had no shot on target, missed one big chance, lost possession 11 times out of the 30 touches he made in the 73 minutes he played. For all of the goals he scores, Onuachu's all-round play is poor, which is why he could not get his desired move in the summer. While there have been talks on how goals are the most important thing in football, clubs want a striker who does more than score goals. Paul Onuachu could be punished for missing a penalty Onuachu has little or no impact on the game if he's not scoring, which is not acceptable in modern-day football. In present-day football, strikers defend from the front by pressing the opposition's defence, but Onuachu does not do that. West Ham believe they're winning race to sign lethal goalscorer Paul Onuachu - report - Hammers News The striker has spoken in the past of supporting Arsenal as a child and hoping to play for the club one day. The Gunners were also linked with the Nigerian, but comparing his stats to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang showed why the Gunners decided to pass on him. Although he scored more goals, he would have found it difficult to adapt to Mikel Arteta's style, given he doesn't press as hard as Aubameyang or Alexandre Lacazette. Osimhen hails Iheanacho, Onuachu, Umar and tips Nigeria to win Afcon – BetGPS In addition, Onuachu's general play is not a delight to watch. His first touch is not something behold, which is why it wasn't surprising he lost possession 11 times against West Ham. And despite his height of 201cm, his hold-up play is not impressive, while his style is sometimes clumsy. Onuachu tests negative to coronavirus, resumes training It's also the same reason why he is not one of Gernot Rohr's favourites in the Super Eagles team. Onuachu may still have the ambition to play in Europe's major leagues, even though he just signed a two-year contract at Genk, but he needs to improve his style to get his desired move. 2 Likes |

My man, If Osimhen won Bundesliga player of the season, UEFA Champions league forward of the year, UEFA Champions league team of the year etc will you agree Haaland is better than him? I doubt. All these are what makes Harland better than Osimhen at the moment. 3 Likes |

He deserves to be given chances to prove himself though I also agree other players doing well should be given the chance to prove themselves. However, Sadiq is below the pecking order.

andrewbaba44: The problem is that the Western Media and a lot of football personalities are making noise about Victor Osimhen. The noise about Osimhen in the western media (particularly Italy) is more than that of us here in nairaland. At first i thought he was just a good player that should remain in lille for some years and develop but then napoli and then this........ maybe real madrid, bayern or the Africas first 100 million striker The Europeans rate him higher than we do and that is what people on this site dont understand |

best bet for osimehn if he wants to leave napoli is juventus,bayern or psg madrid already have red hot benzema and mbappe will be joining them by next summer man city style of play won't suit osimehn and i foresee a crazy scenario where pep may drop him on the bench to play torres or silva as false 9 which will make many here go mad united is a good option but with the presence of ageless cr7 osimehn should be ready to play back up to the portueguese goal machine another good option which i strongly believe will suit osimehn's all action and explosive style of play is ATM but with suarez still banging the goals with no sign of leaving soon our boy may settle for a place in the bench chelsea just spent big to bring lukaku back and i don't see them selling him off after a season just to spend huge again to bring in a replacement liverpool like man city does not rely on a number 9 so going there will be a huge mistake barca yes but i doubt they have the finance to lure osimehn currently then epl new money bags newcastle? the posibility is very high and if they go all out to get him osimehn will become poster boy of the tynesiders. there is nothing money can't do so if the arabians wants him and offers napoli over 100m with a mouth watering contract offer to osihmen he will definitely jump ship asap football na hustle Philosopher1979: 3 Likes |
