It is becoming ridiculous at this moment. Our players moving to top leagues gladden my soul. The scary thing is that this is just the beginning. With the private enterprise interest in our league and top clubs establishing academics in our country expect more of our players in top leagues soon!

I watched Boniface against Sadiq yesterday. Alhasan, and Orban few minutes ago. Onyeka presently and Onyedika pretty soon. Bassey might feature too. Top leagues! Great things are happening!

Great things has always been happening.

But does it reflect when they play for Super Eagles ? undecided

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.

Boss. This your description is Scholes + Kante+ Gerrard Combine o.

Let him play for Super Eagles now. Even to pass to the nearest man will become further mathematics.

pairing both unless we re playing a low rated team

He can come in as a sub if we are chasing a game or start from the flanks as an auxiliary striker

Even almighty brazil and world champions Argentina can’t boast of what we hv upfront

Imagine this 5 strikers below

Osimhen
Awoniyi
Boniface
Orban
Moffi
Sadiq
Iheanacho

Top national teams can’t boast of 3 strikers that can guarantee 10+ goals a season in top 5 leagues in europe but we hv more than 5

Also fast rising Akor Adams is in the corner waiting to make a name for himself in a bigger league soon

in this country called Nigeria, in almost every sphere, we have to make potentials count.
of what good is it having all the deadliest strikers and you cannot utilize the best of them well in the national team?

I would rather have one of the best strikers, defenders, midfieders and good keepers and a sound coach to give us results..
Results don't just come. Potentials is never enough. Let's speaking too much about football on paper.

Orban can work in tight spaces, can dribble and can pass with both legs. Good at set pieces. Can he play #10 for us?

Not a basketball camp o. The visit he made wasn't even planned. I guess the organizers prevailed on him mum for him to visit the kids. He was here primarily for a video shoot. I think they are are working on a documentary on his book and a part of the shoot had to happen in Nigeria. It's why his visit was unannounced and also why he left almost immediately.

I must have gotten the wrong report cus I was wondering why the visit wasn't so publicized and why the rest of the Antetutoumpos weren't there, cus Giannis hardly does anything major without his brothers being involved somehow
