And to think that Nigerians insulted Iwobi. Jpes did not play him right at AFCON. This boy is still very relevant abeg.


They kept insulting him even when they knew he was being played out of position in a defensive setup.

All he needs to do now is to stay focused, continue ignoring those toxic bastards and watch himself shine gloriously, just like he did today. Haters will always hate 🤷🏾‍♂️🙂. That's their position in life.

Norwegian Eliteserien club Sarpsborg 08 FF have confirmed the signing of talented Nigerian winger Daniel Job on a loan deal from Future Pro Football Club, the same Lagos-based academy that produced former Golden Eaglets and Flying Eagles captain, Ramon Azeez.

Eagles need a very tactical coach….Aina was injured but JP still used him and very evident that Osimhen was overused.Abi no be the same Iwobi again.

Like who? You just keep attacking JP for no just cause.

Ekong said Paserio gave them identity! I would rather align with the players than hearsay! Iwobi was not outstanding today.
He scored a beauty, yes but he lost a lot of balls in vital area and missed some glorious chances.
Iwobi left Everton cos he wants to play in midfield. Fulham used him there for few games but decided to push him to the wings.
No serious coach would play Iwobi on the wings for Nigeria.
JP created a formation that would allow our best players thrive and they did get to the final. A team people like you did not give a chance.

Give JP his derseve dues!

The 1994 team was outplayed by the Ivorians in the semis and Zambia in the finals yet that same team is called the best Nigerian National team ever.

Does not change the fact that the old football is just a Fantasy and can't flourish in today's tactical defending.

That disco football is gone, but that does not mean the art of dribbling is dead. It is the art of headless dribbling that died.

"I have that ‘hate modern football’ mentality; I’m more classic in attitude. The figure of the No.10 has almost disappeared. We see less magic, less fantasy. Footballers do more but faster. There’s no need to dribble because you run. Players are more developed in every sense. You lose that player who’s different, who ‘breathes’; the playmaker who was slower even if he had sublime technique doesn’t get the opportunity to turn."

Those your fantasy players will not have the room to disco dance in this modern era. It is not that they are better but they played against weaker players compared to today.

Finito.

So we can analyse and balance matters objectively ,there is no player that cannot improve. You need criticism to improve not undue praises and hype.

You have not shown anything.

The first 2 videos you posted are two Brazilians who your idol would have coached the flair out of.

Next was Isco, a player who I actually liked because he was only the one in a Tiki taka Spain who had FLAIR in his game.

Now, why didn't you bring up videos of the City boys you happily listed? Bringing that borefest of a Grealish video will not help you reinvent what flair and dribbling means.

Who needs to dance disco when you can have telepathic brilliance.

Welcome to the Julian Alvarez show.

Do you mean Ronaldinho will not have the room to disco dance you in this modern era?

Today players are less talented except Messi and Ronaldo.

I am not surprised by your cherry picking. It's your forte.

That "opportunity to turn" that you latched on is a quote of his own words to buttress his thoughts that continues in that article

Thiago explained how there was also the adverse affect on players currently at the top level, in that they have become more focused on the collective effort of the team rather than moments of individualism that can get them out of trouble when a pass isn't available.

You can't turn English and grammar on its head just to suit your bias.

The point is that moments of individualism that players used to get out of trouble has been replaced with pass-abouts and not the nonsense you're trying to suggest.

Prove that the dribbling of this "old football" was headless.

Osihmen does not need to prove anything more to anybody including Steve, if any top club thinks that he's not good enough that's their cup of tea. For a player who piloted his team to win the Serie A, piloted his country to the Afcon finals and he's APOTY, such a player has paid his dues and does not need any more validation ok?

Dont shift the goalpost pls. Before the modern game started, we all know what actual dribbling is. And i put it to you that if that is impressive dribbling to you, then the aforementioned players are way better dribblers and should be hyped by you.


Okocha did everything.

Drunkard
Dancer
Actual Dribbling
With purpose or not, he did.

Dinho too.
And the names i listed do with purpose, except maybe Simon lately. Oyo for anyone that thinks it's dead. But that grealish own? Naaaahh. Too basic to be hyped by me or any fan that knows what dribbling used to be.

The truth of dribbling is that any dribbler must do it how JJ and Dinho did it(by this i mean you must sabi twist body like dance, even as a drunk, must have tricks up your sleeves, and end product)
One can be better than the other but it must be part of it. Even Messi had tricks and sleek, body twists.

When charlesemeka85 been insisting Iwobi is our most indispensable midfielder, y’all felt he’s saying trash because some of you want nwakali in the team so badly.
