Victor Osimhen: Why I shunned AC Milan

TODAY.NG | 2019-02-26T11:37:52+00:00


Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen has revealed that it was difficult turning down a move to join Italian giants AC Milan during the January transfer window, but is glad he took a firm decision to stay put at Sporting Charleroi.

The Rossoneri tabled a €12m bid for the 20-year-old lanky striker who has scored 11 goals and provided three assists in 24 games for Sporting Charleroi this season in all competitions.

Osimhen who is currently on a season loan deal from German club, VFL Wolfsburg at Sporting Charleroi in the Belgian Pro division admitted that it was the right decision at that time, for obvious reasons.

“In the beginning I thought it was a joke,” Osimhen told Belgian daily LaDH.

“It was a difficult decision to stay, but I am right here at Charleroi, January was not the time to leave.”

Osimhen is expected to make his 20th league start for Sporting Charleroi when they host Genk in Saturday’s league game.

Isn't my God a wonderful one ? So Iheanacho Nacho mbappe is better than kylian Kelechi wasn't even invited neither was he used by the Saviour Rodgers last week ? Wycombe FC is calling

daveP:
Lol. We both know the BMI stuff. Should i end this and say the commentator should be under scrutiny, not cos i dont have what to answer you with, but because he is the horses mouth here?

you know better than him and can just confess with your mouth that Lukaku is not fat. and walk away believing what you just said.

Lukaku isn't fat Bruh.

Oasis007:




Lukaku isn't fat Bruh.

I can bet this is a recent picture and it has to do with Lukaku refining his weight recently. The fact is that Lukaku put some weight. Not so much to call him regular fat but he was certainly fatter than the average footballer.

....... Last Match, against Southampton - his second Goal Celebration. Dudes need to update, instead of spreading stale though.

TheGoodJoe:


He is working on it now and in a few months, we will see a leaner Lukaku.

Exactly. But the Dude keeps claiming he's still fat with reference to old Commentary as Evidence. We need to stop arguing stubbornly on this thread, sometimes a quick Research will stop wasting time and space on an unworthy Discourse.

TheGoodJoe:
Nacho should look at the bright side of his being dropped by Rohr. He gets more time to spend with Brendan Rodgers understanding Rodgers system and what Rodgers expects of him.

There is nothing more to do than keep listening to his new boss and working hard to understand and implement what the boss wants.

Congrats to those invited. I hope they have stellar time in camp and during the game.

Nacho being dropped has sent a clear message to him that there's no more automatic ticket to the super eagles for him...he has to earn it back! That will motivate him to work harder!

Honestly the way you defend Iheanacho sometimes make him look like a very lazy player that needs a manager to make him better.
Good players don't wait for the right manager before they hit form..they work hard!

Like I told u before, the clock is ticking for Iheanacho at Leicester.. Just 9 games left for him to prove to Brendan Rodgers that he still has something to offer or else.....

Hello,

Does anyone know the admin of www.soccerassembly.com?

TheGoodJoe:


Even if it does not work out for Nacho with Rodgers, he can still move to where he will play in an offensive team and build himself up. It is not how many times a man falls that counts but how many times he gets up. For now Nacho has a brilliant manager to learn from. He should make the best of it. I wonder why you have a problem with that.

What problem do I have with that ?/

What u just said is basically the point I'm trying to make

you are the one making it sound like Rodgers is the saviour that has come to rescue Iheanacho's career

Caspian22:
Hello,

Does anyone know the admin of www.soccerassembly.com?

Really pains me he doesn't update that very interesting site no more. Pavarotti is the admin.

TheGoodJoe:
By the way, I am proud of my boy Osimhen. I hope he has a cracker in camp and keeps progressing.

U wan steal my boy from me? Na Nacho be ur boy nah

Rituals i performed as Super Eagles’ captain –Yobo





Bolaji Okunola
Former Super Eagles’ captain, Joseph Yobo in an interview with Saturday Sun, revealed the secret behind his success as the most capped Nigerian footballer of all time, the rough route he took before rising to stardom, his bitter and sweet experience in the round leather game, what he love doing before stepping into the pitch, perception about the present team captain, John Obi Mikel, his prediction ahead the forthcoming AFCON, rating of team handler, coach Gernot Rohr, solution to Eagles defence, his love life and lots more.


Can you brief us about your up bringing?
My up bringing has been fantastic.


On September 6,1980, I was born in Kono, Rivers State, a community in the Khana area of the state. It was there I started playing street football. As a young lad, I never knew I will make it this big, but I thank God for where I am today. If I keep revealing how I grew up, we will remain here till further notice, because my childhood story is a very long one. I passed through what other Nigerians passed through and my up bringing was challenging.


You made your Super Eagles debut at age 18 despite going through a lot of challenges, how did you achieved that?


Although as a footballer, I had the belief I will one day represent my fatherland. But I never see myself staying so long in the team, not to talk of becoming the most capped Super Eagles’ player. Well, I believe hard work remains the secret to success. I started having hope, when I featured for the U-20 national team in 1999. The tournament was hosted in Nigeria. I proved my worth to the whole world and I think that drew the attention of the then Super Eagles’ coach. I see myself as a lucky person because that tournament produced many soccer stars, whose names are still relevant in the world of football.


As an ex captain and most capped Super Eagles player, what did you always do before stepping on the field of play?


Sincerely speaking, the only thing I take is my best food, which is rice and plantain. After this, I go on my knee and pray ahead of the game. You know as a captain, you are the key man on the field of play. If you win, you take the glory and if you lose, you receive the opposite. So this are the things I do before stepping out to represent my fatherland. I can boldly say that is the secret behind my success as the most capped Nigeria national team footballer.
Millions of Super Eagles fans get mad at you guys whenever you lose, as the team leader, what are the antidotes you get whenever you are faced with this situation?
It’s crazy out there whenever one step on the pitch to represent a country of over hundred million fans. We are known to be the most popular black nation in the world and that alone is a signal we are in trouble if we lose.
The only sacrifices I made were to make sure we win. We are Nigerians; we know the repercussion of defeat. As a matter of fact, we hate to lose. Whenever such occur, the next thing I do is to psyche up the team towards winning the next game. During my days, we hardly lose two straight games. Whenever such is about to happen, I get mad at the boys and tell them the repercussion we will face from million of fans and that kept me growing and made me a leader of a team. I won’t deceive you; I have made a lot of sacrifices towards the betterment of the team, which I still think the present Eagles squad is following the blueprint. As a leader, I psyches up the team every minute, I built good relationship with my mates. Those were the things I did and I think it helped in building my over 100 caps for the Super Eagles.


Can you share some of your sweet and bitter experiences while in Eagles


We are all human; we are created to witness sweet and bitter part of life. I have a lot of sweet moments in the round leather game, same as bitter experiences. Winning the AFCON 2013 remains one of my best moments. I was proud to lead my team to the third AFCON trophy. And in other hands, I have had some sad moments, which I think is natural in the round leather game.


Do you think the present Super Eagles team will excel in the forthcoming AFCON in Egypt?


Well as for me, it’s too early to decide. But looking at the team’s excellent performances during the qualifying series, I think they are good to go. The team has really been doing well, I mean one must give it to a team that came from behind to top the qualifying group. It shows the team spirit is high.
The boys are willing to play and beat previous record. It will sound good if we return to AFCON with the aim of winning the trophy. If am not mistaken, I think we missed the last two editions of the tournament. AFCON has never been a soft tournament. It’s pure Africa game, which deals with the survival of the fittest. But I’m very confident the team will prove its worth in Egypt.


As a defender, do you think the Eagles defence is in right shape for such tournament?


Why not? Our defenders have been fantastic in their various clubs. I think the team has what it takes to play physical football. Don’t forget every player wants to win and break the existing record the previous ones had made. Super Eagles have always been blessed with world-class defenders. The defence department of the game is never a problem. I can see some up coming defenders, who are also making their way into the team.


Your successor, John Obi Mikel has not featured for the Super Eagles since Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. Do you think he deserves a call up ahead of the 2019 AFCON?


Well, the coach has the final say on that. As for me, I think Mikel’s experience is still vital for the team. No doubt he remains the most experienced player in the present Super Eagles squad. Aside that, he has derived a lot of respect from the younger ones.
I think he should be included in coach Gernot Rohr’s plan for the forthcoming AFCON. Although it’s been a while he featured for the team, but I think with his experience, the Super Eagles can regain their fear factor. As for me,
I am happy he left China for England and with that, I think he is in right shape to keep his captaincy and remain the key man of the team. And if he wishes to keep selecting games, its good for him because he is ageing and I think he knows what is good for him. If he says he is tired of playing for Nigeria, then I think the coach should let him be.


Do you think Gernot Rohr has what it takes to win a trophy with the Eagles?


Gernot Rohr has been fantastic and the AFCON qualifying results had shown the players are willing to prove themselves. One secret of a successful coach is seeing his players being dedicated to his style of play.
The present Eagles have shown Rohr can go far to win the AFCON trophy. He has gained the respect of his boys and his techniques towards wining game have been spectacular. As for me, I see him as a world-class coach who can bring the best out of players. The AFCON competition is around the corner and I tip him to go far in the tournament. AFCON medal; either gold, silver and bronze has been our birthright and I think Rohr can achieve same if he keeps maintaining the spirit we saw during the qualifying series.
Your former English Primer League side, Everton is currently placed 9th on the EPL log; do you think the team stands a chance of making it to the UCL or UEFA Europa league?
Everton has always been a great team who can contend for any trophy. During my days with the team, we do give the so-called big teams a run for their money. Although I am not underrating the present ones, but I think the team was more superb during my days.
Although the likes of Zuma from Chelsea now maintains the defensive line, but I still think my tenure was quit good, but I see them fighting for the top spot before the league comes to an end.


Another of your former teams, Fernabache is battling relegation in the Turkish league, what is your advise to them towards escaping this?


It’s quit unfortunate, but I believe things will start working out for good. They have signed and loaned more experienced players and I know with time, they will start to get it right. Although it seems late for them, but I know the team has what it takes to escape this. I am happy the likes of Victor Moses and the rest of others won’t wait to see them relegated and am sure the club will soon regain its glory as one of the best in Turkey.
20 years ago, you made it to the U-20 FIFA World Cup, being a hero, what advice do you have for the present Flying Eagles team who will be hoisting Nigeria flag in this year edition in Poland?
I don’t really have much to say than advise them to remain focus. I know the boys have a dream. We are yet to win the FIFA U-20 World Cup tournament and I am sure the boys are aware of that. I won’t be surprised seeing them bringing the trophy home. Don’t judge them by their poor outing during the African Youth Championship. I am sure they would have noticed and corrected their mistakes.


You are married to a former Miss Nigeria; hope you are having a happy moment?


Yes I am. My wife has been respectful and kind to me and I always thank God for our lives. She remains the reasons why I smile and I will always be grateful to her and the kids she gave me.
