Alonso was arguably Liverpool best playmaker midfielder for many seasons before going to Real Madrid and then Bayern Munich. Essentially the creme del creme of European football as a player. His football pedigree experiential competency without question ❓

He then coached Real Madrid U14, I just got back from Mallorca and watched the Real Madrid U15 win the tournament some of those players are having sessions with the first team. It's not anybody who gets that job you can ask Zidan if you have doubt's.

Xabi then went to Real Sociedad B in the Segunda and got them promoted. From there his rise to the top was not unexpected.

You cannot compare Xabi Alonso to Amunike please it's insulting.

Just writing off the point. Xabi Alonso had no experience in top football coaching. So people should kill all that top football coaching experience. It is proven from Xabi Alonso, to Guardiola, to Enrique. An amateur coach will outclass a highly experienced one in top level if his coaching philosophy and application is sound.

Football playing experience and pedigree is not coaching talent, if not many greats would be top coaches today.

Finito.

When I say you are dumb, I truly mean you are dumb with a very low IQ. So absurd in that context means those words you reeled out?

So when someone says Ronaldinho's skills are sick, it means ill, unwell poorly, nauseous etc.


You little boy have a half devolped brain, otherwise, you would have understood that absurd in that context means unbelievable, crazy, outstanding and daring. In other words, it was crazy/unbelievable for a striker to score such goal considering the risks involved.

Notwithstanding how much he rates Osimhen I don't think his criticism of Victor this time was in bad faith.

Yes straying offside is part of the game but 29 is damn too much. Osimhen is an elite performer who is getting to his peak but if he's to achieve true immortal greatness in the beautiful game those kinks highlighted in his game need to be cut out.



As for me, many complain about Osimhen being offside a lot but I see it as a huge asset. With midfielders aware of his runs, he can wreck teams apart with ease.

Also, Xavi Hernandez had this instinct that was very remarkable. If a player was offside, he hardly passes that route.

I think the midfielders Osimhen work with hug the ball too much and needs to play with a team that watches his runs closely.

I personally feel getting Osimhen to cut on his forward runs will kill his game. He needs to move to a club that plays full offensive football and attack in mass. With this, his attacking runs asset will be appreciated.

If indeed that is a verbatim quote from Drogba it gives credence to my view and cements it unquestionably.

It seems you need an English Lesson , what does absurd mean ❓utterly or obviously senseless, illogical, or untrue; contrary to all reason or common sense; laughably foolish or false:

What did I say there was nothing great about the goal more of a reflection of abysmal defending that nearly caused VO to have a serious injury 🤕.

And Drogba is saying essentially by substance what I've deduced.

And 17 people like what they thought 💭 to be contrary opposing view to mine. It proves that intelligence doesn't rest with the majority.

Sir if you look at the pictures clearly, You will get why he had been caught offside than others,

let's take Martinez for a start, his midfielders know when to telegram ball when he is making his runs, same to haaland,

Now Can it be compare to that of Napolis, Osimhen had the legs and the pace to burn too, why wait till he was in an offside position before releasing the ball to him

Check the season he emerges as top scorer, what was his offside stats then??

Offside is part of the game, Oga. Every player is different. Martinez doesn't play in a 433. A player like Osimhen needs midfielders to release him on time. How many times was he offside last calendar year?

Yes offsides is part of the game and yes, Martinez playing in a 352 mitigates his chances of being offsides compared to a 433 where VO leads the line by himself, but VO still needs to work on timing his runs. 39 times in 26 games is a lot no matter how you look at it. Only a single game of 90 mins where he did not get called offside.

I’m a big fan of his and I want him to do well but that is one part of his game he needs to work on (along with his 1v1 finishing, PKs and placed shots)

Even Haaland in his record breaking year admitted he needs to improve his heading. You’ll never see me say VO should work on heading.

There is nothing wrong with objective feedback, especially when it’s for our fellow country men’s improvement

Victor Osimhen working on this he will be a phenomenal striker that world would always remembering….talking about this is not criticism but trying to point out how he can improve on his positioning.

I will not buy idea of blaming Napoli midfielders for this cuz it happened in Afcon too,so left for Osimhen to do the needful.Imagine with his numbers and able to get it right then we talk of 1 to 3 best strikers in the world.

He spoke about this recently in an interview on how Mark Van Bommel helped improve his defensive side as a player.

Let me drop the quote and extract from the aritcle...


Mark van Bommel has further instilled that winning mentality. He has ensured that Ejuke also takes his defensive duties to heart – the winger recently recovered ten balls against STVV

“One hundred percent correct! The coach gives me advice about that and I have to say: I even enjoy defending now. You help the team, and stealing a ball from someone also gives you a boost. It gives you a feeling of superiority over your opponent. Very nice.”




Thank you, TheSuperNerd.

Chidera Ejuke's game has seen improvements under Mark Van Bommel.

Belgium league is rated number 8 in Europe just behind the Turkish league.

Somebody tagged him supremely technical player

He has been in Europe for 4 seasons and he is playing in Belgium. My assertion by comparison of the top players in Europe 🌍 Ralph Onyedika cannot be a supremely technical player and still be in the Belgium league after four plus seasons in Europe.


I found no faults in this logic

Chidera is like doku

He needs a team to just let him play

With little defensive responsibilities just let him play and let the attackers get into the right position finito


While we appreciate Ejuke's defensive works of late, it is also true that this is an aspect he needs the most improvement together with the creation of goalscoring chances.

Actually, the National team especially under Rorh and Peseiro were negative and slow in progressive transition. This actually hampered the potency of the run. In a more dynamic midfield, Osimhen would destroy teams at a phenomenal level.
