I resist the urge to insult you
Bruno is not playing in segunda division he is playing in the EPL if Bruno is playing in Segunda am damn throughout the whole season he will be having 100% pass accurate and at worst one lost possession throughout the whole season
Am damn sure if we use to measure how his (nwakali )performance is gonna be prolly he will be losing possession 50 times in every game the standard /league is used to judge
Merci!!!
Should i bring his stat from his time in Portuguese league?

Abi from udinese?

Infact Bruno himself admit that losing the ball is part of his game

No insult me oh!! But you ain't talking in the things that make sense

You want my attention so badly then you earn
I've seen several fools but some factors make yours very distinct and damn you were super blind when I acknowledged his development i only raised concern about his lose of possession he lost possesion 9 times today iffu ask me thats not good for player that have hyped to the sky like that according to pa Chriskel he is a typical elite central midfielder and mind he is not playing in the championship ,not even in the top 5 best league in europe ,not in eredivise , jupiler ,Turkish league but in Spain second division i only concern raised about this
And another that shows you high level stupidity and your low IQ is I never said I watched the match I only gave my preposition from the stats posted by joebie and the matured dude gave me a sensible reply and was damn curious and i was actually heading to watch the match before I saw your stupid mention
Yh back to igbekeme it like that dude is sleepless night and am damn sure he is driving you crazy for what I said yh i mean every iota of what I said he was the midfielder in zaragoza in pre Russia 2018 and during that time am fucking he should be in top 10 best midfielder in 2018 season he was damn fantastic and this season he is currently the 5th best player in real Zaragoza and currently second best midfielder only guti is ahead of him .....so when you know nothing just STFU
All what I see from this post is delirium tremens grin

Disjointed incoherent statements with neither a head nor a tail

I am tempted to drop Igbekemes rating against same Girona where he was yanked off in the 69minute after losing possesion 8 times with only 68% passing accuracy grin
Calma

Igbemeke is still Nigerian

If he's better than Nwakali, he deserves to be mentioned

Hahahahahahahahahaha.... Look at this runaway liar. grin

So after all this yeye talk, this is what you drop?? Lol

Where is the ratings that show he is Zaragoza's best MF and best player? cheesy

I can see him at Number 5 and nothing more. I see his stats for cards and more... I see four players in 1-4 and 3 are midfielders. So what does this actually show naa?

Mister, what you have dropped clearly confirms that you bloody LIED.

I just wanted to show you how silly you were and you obliged really good. Hope you've learnt your lesson on presenting bias-laden fallacies as whoscored facts. Lol

Adios...
Guy you're a big fool and very sure bunch on monikers here acknowledge your low IQ only guti is ahead of him and very sure you will almost commit suicide when igbekeme gain promotion
Huesca got promoted when gives you the assurance nwakali will clock 90 minute in LA liga despite azzez exploit in segunda division for Granada yet he is not a regular for granada this season
Fool!!!! Imagine you typical elite central midfielder is rotting in the huesca bench what an irony !!!

I don't have any business protecting English players who see Nigeria as a second option. Are you guys ok , at all ?
I'm okay man!

Whether you like it or not, any player with dual nationality turns up for us when they are not good enough for their resident/birth country. Until our local league is high in standards we'd be looking to getting those who see us as 2nd options.

Uhmmm, First of all, I never labelled Nwakali's performance today as ELITE. I never used that word. I was very specific in my report and said he was very decent and impressive. Don't mix it up here b'cos you want to insult me. Insult me without lying alright. wink


Now to the matter on Igbekeme....


Alberto Soro and Guti are midfielders in the Zaragoza team. So how is ONLY GUTI ahead of Igbekeme? grin Your pic shot shows two MFs ahead of Igbekeme which destroys your claim that "Igbekeme is the best MF" on the Zaragoza team and then four players in all are ahead of Igbekeme which totally rubbishes your other claims that Igbekeme is the Best player on the Zaragoza team.

I can see you resort to cheap insults b'cos you obviously cannot intellectually match my points with actual statements to disprove that you actually lied.

You said Igbekeme is the best MF on the Zaragoza team. But your own stats show that two MFs are ahead of him. Also Sofascore show exactly the same thing.

So what does that make you look like now? grin

What losing possession in football entails. This is one of the several research I have done.

And ohh... Please Sheyishemba, don't run away..
I also noticed something else about the pic shot you dropped.

I can see that one of Zaragoza's impressive midfield performers, Inigo Eguaras is missing from the one you shared. grin

Inigo Eguaras is Zaragoza's Top player according to Sofascore followed by Javier Suarez (FW) and Raul Guti (MF). Alberto Soro is close enough in that top 5.

Wow... So you didn't even bring out something from this season? You had to cheekily go back a season or so to bring something "close enough" to justify a lie?? And even at that... You still shot yourself in the foot b'cos I know the Zaragoza team and have watched them a few times. And all in all, what I know and what you showed still prove the same thing... You Lied!!!

I then gave you an example of a player that loses possession more than often yet he was in Top ten Ballon d'or Power ranking by goal

Transfer reports say Terem Moffi of KV Kortrijk is attracting offers from Ligue 1 side, Brest.

Further reports then indicated that in latest developments, St.Etienne seem to have joined in on the chase.

Terem Moffi could just be moving to France from the look of things. Time will tell.

Now back to you i guess you are one of the few illiterate here who bambozzle others with big grammars just to psyche their egos and probably thinks you're relevant ...but bro what's the essence of blowing big grammars without effective communication
Now back to your previous preposition you said Nwakali Is [/b] a typical elite central midfielder[b]
I guess your grammar really exposed your little or no knowledge of semantics I will go through the stress of explaining the adjective you used to qualify nwakali

1.Typical ;- having the distinctive qualities of a particular type of person or thing.
I will like to highlight the attributes the great nwakali posses that could be liken to other world class midfielder of the world e.g modric , de bruyne , Bruno

2 elite :- using elite in the same sentence with nwakali is actually a grammatical error itself


a select group that is superior in terms of ability or qualities to the rest of a group or society

what are the qualities that nwakali posses that makes him belong to this selected group of midfielder and posses such quality that this players have( am talking about grade A midfielders) am talking of likes of Toni kross, Paul pogba debruyne David Silva kante and other players who belongs to this category



based on this I can actually deduce that you have no iota of whatsoever about these adjectives used to qualify nwakali I will imploy the likes of komekn and charlesemeka to teach you more about grammar

in my previous preposition I point out the fact ya a very distinctive fool and actually you didn't dispute the fact
I just posted a pics you have dying to see I have major source thats whoscored .com they pointed the fact that he is second best midfielder in Real Zaragoza only Guti is better than him and damn sure if you're not blind it is really obvious in what I posted so if you think other midfielders are better than him then thats your prob who scored is one of the most credible sport site you find sofa score reliable good for you I find whoscored reliable and I pointed out the fact he is actually one of the best midfielder in real Zaragoza only guti and some strikers and defender are ahead of him

Emmanuel Amuneke on Osimhen's imminent move to Napoli

Translated from Europacalcio.it

In a recent interview with the "Nigeria Super Eagles" Youtube channel, Victor remarked on the importance of Amuneke in his football career:

"At the beginning I thought I didn't like him: while I was on the pitch he talked to me and always shouted at me. I once wanted to leave the pitch, but the coordinator told me that Emmanuel knew what he was doing. When you take this path, discipline is one of the most important things. And also for this reason I am very happy to have worked with Mr. Amuneke, I owe him almost half of my success".



AMUNEKE OSIMHEN - To talk and learn more about Lille's talent, "Europa Calcio" contacted Emmanuel Amuneke himself , who now works for the Egyptian club of El-Makkasa.



*What do you think of this increasingly probable transfer in blue?

“Naples would be an excellent destination for Victor: he is improving season after season. First at Charleroi, then at Lille and now he could go into a great reality. We are talking about a club with a great history, and the team plays in Europe every year.”



These days, however, his name has also been associated with some clubs, Liverpool above all.

“I don't know anything about these rumors, but I want to reiterate that Napoli is a very important team, among the best on the continent. So I really hope you sign for the De Laurentiis club. I am very happy with his path, and I only wish him to continue in this direction."



You trained him in that Nigeria Under 17. What are the best qualities of Osimhen?

“He is a fast attacker and can score in any way, he's is lethal. I met him for the first time that he was a kid, and he still had to improve in many aspects".


The same striker, in a recent interview, said that when he was on the field you spoke to him and called him many times.

“I confirm, I was his coach and I had an important responsibility for him and all his other teammates. Discipline and right behavior, on and off the pitch, are decisive factors, it was my duty to transmit and teach these principles to the kids. I have played in several clubs, including Barcelona, ​​and I know exactly what it means."


Most compare Osimhen to Drogba. Do you agree with this similarity?

“No, because Victor is still young and still has to learn a lot. More than making the comparison, I hope so much that he can become even stronger than the same Drogba".



Do you remember a particular moment with him?

“One in particular doesn't. As I said before, I knew him that he was 17 years old. I tried to correct it and help it grow. Victor is one who always wants to win, he detests defeat."


In Naples he would find Gattuso as coach. What idea do you have of Rino?

“As a player he was a great player, both at Milan and in the national team. He's doing it now as a coach, he's a respectable coach. As is the Napoli squad, which has excellent players like Mertens and Callejon."


As mentioned before, you played for Barcelona, ​​which will challenge the Neapolitans in the Champions League. What is happening to Setien's team?

“I believe that the stop period caused by the coronavirus has inevitably changed some dynamics. All were in fact due to start all over again, and this cannot fail to have had an impact. In any case, Barca remains a great team and with a winning mentality. At San Paolo we witnessed a great match. The return will be interesting, because Napoli will play to have their say and try to qualify."


Finally, do you have any advice for Osimhen?

“No advice, he knows exactly what he has to do. For my part, I wish him only the best.“

Lol... First of all, There is no need disputing the rantings of a mad dog. It's futile. grin Best to ignore those rants and pass over like they aren't even there.

And please, don't twist things like your master, Komekn. He may have taught you the art but you aren't as smart enough to apply it with class... grin
You said Igbekeme was the best MF at Zaragoza. Not one of the best. You said he was the best. You even went ahead to show your real reason for "Lie-hyping" Igbekeme by dissing Nwakali and saying he isn't sure to get promotion with his team. But look at thy foolery today. grin smh

Here are your own words...
sheyishemba:
average?? the best midfielder for a team chasing promotion I refuse to check nwakali position on huesca team �
sheyishemba:
no doubt igbekeme is an average player no doubt but in his team setting he is not an average he has been on top form this season and according to whoscored he is best midfielder in the team and the 5th best in the entire team he even played in copa Del rey against real Madrid and he had a cool game.....
you said rohr is keen on nwakali considering his resurgence in segunda division without any biasness from rohr and other stakeholder igbekeme should be consider ahead of him and moreover sef huesca is not guarantee for LA liga next season they are still fourth on d table
I asked for this proof of "Igbekeme being the best" and you fled since then until now... And then you "finally" found liver to show something close enough to validate your lies but it has failed.

What you posted showed that two MFs, Alberto Soro and Guti are ahead of Igbekeme. So this clearly shows that you were lying all along mister. So shut up and stop making a bigger fool of yourself. Igbekeme is not the best MF at Zaragoza... He is not even in the Top 3 by current ratings by Sofascore. And I am more than certain Whoscored certainly rates Eguaras higher in the current ratings. So you have Eguaras, Soro and Guti all ahead of Igbekeme and you would have us believe he was or is the best MF at Zaragoza?? Guy you really bleeped this up. Intellectually, you are really suffering. You must lack dignity with the way you keep ranting to defend rubbish and lies.

And also I strongly suspect this is not even the current ratings. I cannot see Inigo Eguaras anywhere on that list. Or whoscored don't know Eguaras?

All you have done is discovered how much silliness you invested into standing for a silly fallacy borne out of hate for another player. Now my friend of sillyville... Do the noble thing and accept how wrong and foolish you were to utter lies. That's if you even know what being Noble means. Lol... Ciao. wink

I cant read all this newspaper but from the few i read I can actually point you're still wrong
Where I said he is the best MF in real Zaragoza I was actually making reference to pre Russia 2018 where he was discovered by Tbaba here and many of us that watched him could attest to his great performance
2. Alberto soriano for you info sir he is not a midfielder he is a winger but a makeshift attacking midfielder I still come to the conclusion that he is the second best midfielder only Guti is ahead of him ... I can never accept wrong for what am right about before I come thread I make some research if anyone is wrong it can't be me grin grin grin

You never said anything about Pre-Russia here MR. LIARSHEMBA. Trying so hard to change the goalposts isn't gonna save you. You were speaking about Igbekeme in a side chasing promotion to La Liga (as seen in your first comment below). You were speaking about the 2019/2020 season at the time so why the desperate attempt to save face with a shameless lie? grin

And stop trying to sound smart. It makes you look even dumber. Alberto Soro is a Midfielder. Midfielders come in grades and functions and no one specified the kind of midfielder anywhere. He is a Midfielder. Simple.

And Nwakali and Huesca eventually got promoted too against your predictions and wishes... Ohh great HaterShemba. wink

And finally, please stop singing the "second best MF behind Guti" song. Your table showed he is behind Soro and Guti who are both midfielders. Besides... This was never about if he is second or behind anyone... It is about your claims that he is the very Best MF at Zaragoza like you spilled foolishly below... Twice!!!


As seen in your own words...

sheyishemba:
average?? the best midfielder for a team chasing promotion I refuse to check nwakali position on huesca team

no doubt igbekeme is an average player no doubt but in his team setting he is not an average he has been on top form this season and according to whoscored he is best midfielder in the team and the 5th best in the entire team he even played in copa Del rey against real Madrid and he had a cool game

In the end, we can all see and confirm and testify that you Sheyishemba is a LIARSHEMBA. And you made claims backed by nothing at all.

It is your own words showing the depth of thy foolery. Now run along... You've been really served. cool

Kelechi Nwakali and Kevin Carlos Benjamin Omoruyi pose with their La Liga 2 title

See you both in La Liga 2020/21.

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 3:25am On Jul 21, 2020
Seyi the problem I see here is that some people here can push some of us to become less balanced and not want to accept where Nwakali may do well and try to see some faults. Yes Nwakali has been hyped over and over again but that does not stop us from saying it as it is. I don't think loss of possession was one of his weak points.

Just for comparison, I have attached one of James Igbekeme's best games this year. In that said game (see attachment 1), he lost possession 27 times but still ended with an overall impressive rating of 7.9. This must be due to more weight put on goals scored. Loss of possession does not take away much points from a player because it can be attributed to different criteria (see attachment 2) e.g "Ball Control: Losing possession due to lack of trap ability or passer’s bad pass, "Passing to a Marked Player: Losing possession due to pass to a marked player rather than an unmarked player". Again look at "Clearance" and "Illegal Movement descriptions. So you see, on paper it always looks like losing possession 9 times is a big deal but it could have happened in different circumstances. You can only have a good look at it if you actually watched the match. Now also take into consideration Huesca's highest rated player of the night, Eugeni Valderrama, He lost possession 6 times but spent 64 minutes on the pitch. The goal scorer who is also a midfielder, Cristo González, lost possession 15 times spending a considerable less time on the pitch compared to Nwakali. That said, we must always say it as it is. Nwakali won 6 ground dwells out of 10, He was able to find his man 3 out of 6 long ball attempts. Those were his good points. Not elite, not exceptional but a good start for him. This was a big game for Nwakali especially coming from where he has been over the years. Will he carry this into preseason and hopefully be a regular starter in La Liga. I hope so, If he doesn't I will always be here to say it as it is again as a proper hype detector grin

Who goes up to Primera in LaLiga? How is the promotion play-off, when does it start, matches, teams and schedules
Last update 5 hours ago

Cádiz and Huesca have already sealed their ticket to the elite; Zaragoza, Almería, Girona and Elche or Fuenlabrada will play the Playoff.
There are three teams that rise from Second to First Division in Spanish football . The two teams classified in first and second position in the table do so directly and a third by way of the 'play-off' , which faces in direct knockout stages those classified between 3rd and 6th position in the table .

Who goes up to Primera in LaLiga ?

The first two classifieds of the Second Division , also known as the SmartBank League, rise directly at the end of the season: in 2019-20 it is about Huesca and Cádiz . The team from Cádiz got it first, on July 12 , while the Catalan team confirmed their ticket to Primera five days later. However, Huesca ended up being the champion.

With Cádiz and Huesca already in the First Division, it should be remembered that the third promotion to the elite of Spanish football is going to be defined in the coming days with a PlayOff that will be played by the teams that finish in the third, the fourth, the fifth and in the sixth position of the classification . Right now, those teams are Zaragoza , Almería , Girona and Elche , respectively. Of course, Fuenlabrada played its game against the already relegated Deportivo La Coruña, an encounter that was canceled due to the positive cases of Covid-19 coronavirus that there were in the Madrid team.

How is the promotion play-off, when does it start, matches, teams and schedules

The dates of the matches had already been determined, but the postponement of Deportivo - Fuenlabrada has modified the plans. However, it is speculated that these will be the dates:

Semifinals first leg
Elche or Fuenlabrada against Zaragoza: August 2 (probable)
Girona vs. Almería: August 2 (probable)

Semifinals 2nd leg
Zaragoza against Elche or Fuenlabrada: August 5 (probable)
Almería against Girona: August 5 (probable)

Final
Outbound: August 8 (probable)
Return: August 11 (probable)

Igbekeme clearly has had a better career even in the lower leagues than Nwakali. There is no debating that.
However football is present and continuous performance. If Nwakali rises above Igbekeme based on consistent performance I will say it as it is.
But no one can lie when the facts are glaring.

Edopesin:
So in your opinion that stats worth the hype? Didn't you see where I said it is average or do you think it is better than average because Nwakali is the one here

I guess we should not look at the lost possessions and 1 off target shot so we can praise him grin

Igbekeme is pulling better stats but he is not called an elite player

I am tempted to drop Igbekemes rating against same Girona where he was yanked off in the 69minute after losing possesion 8 times with only 68% passing accuracy grin
What are you even good at ?

Mocking players you don’t like

I doubt you will say such things like this to your favorite players

You really need to grow up

Uhmmm, First of all, I never labelled Nwakali's performance today as ELITE. I never used that word. I was very specific in my report and said he was very decent and impressive. Don't mix it up here b'cos you want to insult me. Insult me without lying alright. wink


Now to the matter on Igbekeme....


Alberto Soro and Guti are midfielders in the Zaragoza team. So how is ONLY GUTI ahead of Igbekeme? grin Your pic shot shows two MFs ahead of Igbekeme which destroys your claim that "Igbekeme is the best MF" on the Zaragoza team and then four players in all are ahead of Igbekeme which totally rubbishes your other claims that Igbekeme is the Best player on the Zaragoza team.

I can see you resort to cheap insults b'cos you obviously cannot intellectually match my points with actual statements to disprove that you actually lied.

You said Igbekeme is the best MF on the Zaragoza team. But your own stats show that two MFs are ahead of him. Also Sofascore show exactly the same thing.

So what does that make you look like now? grin
Sorry to intrude.

Alberto is not an out and out midfielder

He's an acttacker that can virtually play any role attacking role.
