TheGoodJoe:
People like Baresi, Maldini, Cannavaro, Nesta, Taribo are actually slow. They are not even close to Konate or Gvardiol in pace.

You saw a video posted not too long ago of Aina taking on a Speedster like Walker in pace.

Can you think of Terry playing as a right or left back? Today we see central defenders like Boateng, Stones, Ake, Gvardiol and Kounde.

Yes you can say Cafu but the thing that made Cafu strong and fast, is what all players are doing.

Football looks more boring because gap between players have reduced. You hardly have poor players like before.

You can't compare Baresi, Nesta and Rio Ferdinand in speed and fitness.

Watch this video again and see the speed of a young central defender. Not a big name Khusanov and see what forwards are dealing with now.

those players played against prime Ronaldo de Lima, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Denilson, Ze Roberto, Rivaldo, Robinho, Batistuta, Aimar, Shevchenko, Henry, Owen, Rooney, C. Ronaldo, Messi, Ribery, Romario, Ibrahimovic, Eto, Martins, Walcott e.t.c..

the strikers and wingers from 20 years ago were much more technical and deadly than today's wingers which means the defenders from 20 years ago were also better than today's defenders...

FIFA World best winner Canavaro, Nesta, ferdinard, lemme even bring it home, Taribo West, Uche Okechukwu are who you call grassroot footballers. Which of your current SE defenders are better tactically than the aforementioned.
You people just like to argue, he has told you that KDB is better than Zidane. Na Maradona comparism to KDB we never make.

AC Milan never serious.
Some clubs dey buy injured players.

If they were serious,they would forget about a loan move and buy him outrightly, few weeks is enough to regain your fitness.

The difference between Komekn and Meliforme is the negativity and positivity bias in them,especially for the players they chose.

Komekn is unflinchingly negative, while Meliforme is positive in a bizarre way
I have a feeling they’re the same person with an alter ego 😂

I became a follower of the league in 2016 so I know this is not a new thing.

I don't know how it will happen o but there has to be a paradigm shift to the perception of not just football but sports. Majority of our problems will go away once there is a shift to seeing football through economical lenses.
Thank you for this! Plus instant noodles syndrome is affecting everyone.


Wikki Tourists are back and there's no buzz about that. No buzz around even the newly promoted Kun Khalifat and Barau FC. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️
Nothing to peak the interest of anybody. Shooting may relegate if they don't fix up. Bayelsa?? Naaah.
No be dis binary goals we need o. Caf CL is brutal. Score 01 for home league, go CL and chop 4 and 5 and barely score 5 overall across a campaign. Naaah

People wrongly concluded it was cos of his SM tantrums that's why Milan rejected or why he failed medical, forgetting it was relating to his injury record. That knee don suffer mehn. I hope he comes back from this meltdown cos Fabrizio don carry am. That's the first if I'm not mistaken. More attention on his posts going forward.

This is why Nigerian players need to be careful with their social media engagement. Fabrizio does not understand Pidgin.

Yeah. He posted the exchange between them.


Nigerians no try. Milan fans like him and are bashing their club currently as we discuss. Does he need to limit those SM stuff? Absolutely. Do the Nigerian media need to do better? Absolutely. He's a pro. He needs to understand the environment he's in. I think this is becoming a problem with some of our players lately. They need to nip it.
