He is underrated in his Country!!

They said 'he didn't achieve enough', so 'overrated because of his wasteful dribbling' shocked shocked

You need a thick skin to be a Nigerian cool

It's good seeing him selected as a club Legend of PSG!

Still wondering how CAF didn't deem Jay Jay good enough to win the African Footballer of the Year award during his playing days.

I'm still wondering how Buhari is Nigeria's president

el hadj diouf collect number 10 from am for bolton
same as ronaldinho in psg

Joke of the century cheesy cheesy cheesy

They both wore the number 10 jersey after he left.
Caf was also a joke not to have given Jay Jay. Every year the BBC African footballer of the year usually tally with CAF until when it was j.j's turn in 1998 and 2004. It was a complete daylight robbery in 2004 as he clinched the highest goal scorer in Afcon ahead of Eto. He defeat Eto in Q/finals, and won bronze. Took Bolton from relegation team to 8th position on the table and got to the Carling cup finals. Whereas Eto won nothing in that year as he was just transfered from Mallorca to Barca. But Issa Ayatou led corrupt members gave Eto cos he got transfered to Barca

I know finish your statement immediately I saw that you didn't know that El Hadj Diouf and Ronaldinho collect number 10 jersey from Okocha. El Hadj Diouf even collect captaincy from Okocha for Bolton. At point them bench Okocha for Bolton

If you don't know football history don't quote me.

Okocha was 10 at PSG ... After 2 seasons of ronaldinho displaying himself, no 10 jersey was taking from Okocha and given to ronaldinho.

The worst of his career was Bolton, the number 10 was taking from him after El Hadj Diouf 1st season at Bolton.

Bernard Mendy was flamboyant at the RB...remembered his time on loan @ Bolton with JJ. You can't miss him at that flank.

Édouard Cisse, a very dependable CM (these days, traditionally known as a DM)....originally from Senegal, very good. I remembered his tears alongside Rothen, on that fateful night at Schalke 04 in 2004 when they lost the UCL final to Jose Mourinho's Porto.

. ghettokid1 talking about great players that didn't play for Barca shows when he started watching football, it could have been better he made that statement among those who watched football with him. Consider these: Canavaro won 2006 world cup as an Italian defender with no yellow card nor red card and emerged as the world best player, he played Juve and latter move to Madrid. Dutch Eager Davids is rated among the first 5 defensive mildfider by FIFA, he won Champions league in Ajax and move to Juve. Zidane didn't play for Barca but he won Champions league and world cup and also the world best player. George Weah didn't play Barca, Steve Gerald didn't play for Barca. C Ronaldo didn't play for Barca. Seedorf, Figo, Raul, Madini, Okocha, Inzaghi, Pilo just to mention but a few. Barca is a great team but Barca can't stand Madrid and AC Milan when it comes to champions league glory. Spanish league, Madrid is still ahead of Barca, thank you.

Legendary on the beatz.
Its no news that Ronaldinho was Jay Jay Okocha’s protégé when the two played at PSG, with Okocha wearing the No. 10 jersey and Ronaldinho No 21.

After a turbulent move to PSG from boyhood club Gremio of Brazil, he couldn't play immediately and had to wait for 6 months due to legal issues concerning the transfer.

It was then the Nigerian and African legend Okocha took young Ronaldinho on his wings and then mentored him, tutored him and showed him some tricks he developed in football.

Ronaldinho quickly adapted to life in Paris and soon became the fans delight.

After that , a big and lucrative offer came from Bolton wonderers and okocha left in 2002.
He then passed the baton to Ronaldinho.

The same way Ronnie passed it to Messi when he was leaving Camp Nou in 2008

And guess what, Messi was also a protégé of Ronaldinho.

Both ronaldinho and okocha are truly skillful and picking one in particular above the other will be a herculean task.

Although Ronaldinho went on to become more famous than Okocha his mentor.
Just as messi became famous than Ronaldinho winning the ballon d'or 5 times as against his mentor's 2.

But just as messi will deny being better than Ronnie, same way el Gaucho will show respect from the man who taught him so many tricks- the midfield maestro Okocha.

Here are my own observations between the two player's skills:

1) Okocha developed and crrated his own tricks, Ronaldinho copied from a handful of players including Rivelino,Laudrup and perfected them on the football stage.

2) Okocha do show his skills and isn't a match winner, Ronaldinho with his skills a d entertainment wins crucial matches for his teams.

3) From both player's origins and continent, Okocha skills are typical of the African lifestyle, while Ronaldinho fused Brazilian samba dance with his skills which made it more colorful.

4) Lastly, when Ronnie was asked how he developed his skills, he didn't mince words as he said “he learnt them from the streets of brazil, Rivelino his Brazilian idol and from watching Okocha during training in PSG”
Ronaldinho= Mix of all skillful players + Okocha.


You people just like to yarn dust. Look at how you described the whole thing as if Okocha was the one who taught Ronaldinho football.


Have you even watched Ronaldinho before he moved to PSG? He was class apart, a born talent.

Okocha was never his mentor, although playing together means they must have learnt few things from one another; it's not a one way thing.
