Sabotaging play is sabotaging the team...stop twisting things, we're not here for debate
We were leading 3-0 against Mozambique when Bruno failed to pass to Osimhen in space. Bruno did not sabotage the team but he sabotaged play.

Finito.

What I expect tomorrow from Chelle is very simple.

Aggressive Man to Man marking game and quick transitions.

We are going against a side that is tactically drilled and knows how to keep the ball.

With aggressive Man Marking and quick transitions, we can not only win but demolish the Algerians.

When players miss sitters can we call that sabotaging too?
No. It is not an intentional act. Choosing not to pass to a player in space is intentional.

Sir you're the twister here not me,, there was no time players tried to deviate from the game plan

Sir,you've not answered my question,who are the players sabotaging the team,the word sabotage came from you and is heavy,so tell us who are the saboteurs......a team won four straight matches and the team is being sabotaged.
I think you are looking at it as a grave context, like wanting the team to fail.

Not in that light. I am talking about sabotaging play. Not sabotaging the team.

I used the Iceland game to highlight my point. Iheanacho was in position to score. Ahmed Musa, instead of giving the ball to Iheanacho, he chose to dribble the keeper and score a wonder goal. I for one critiqued it. Ahmed Musa did not sabotage the team but he sabotaged the play.

I don't know how else to explain it to you. The point is too simple.

When a player is in space to score and a player prefers to go the harder route, he is sabotaging play.

It's so simple. Unless you are saying it did not happen, I wonder what you want again.

Tell me that all the time players were in the right position, they chose to play to the players in space, then we have a debate.

I was told here that some players are sabotaging the team work,even betraying the team abi no be so cuz your analysis showed combined contributions of every players
Twisting facts.

The point was that we were leading 3-0 and players felt they can deviate from the system. The point is that we should have a long term view. No matter the score line, we should keep plugging into the system.

Football is 90 minutes game that involves movements,not all open spaces get desired passes.....I asked you first tell us players who are seeking personal glory so far,Abeg tell us
You first have to say that all the time Osimhen was in space, the ball was gotten to him. If you can't concur, you have your answer.

Deviating from the system is seeking personal glory and not the team's glory.

Finito.

I don't think this answers the point I am trying to make. The point is there are instances Osimhen will be in good positions and the players don't release the ball. This has built into what we saw yesterday.

I believe the solution is for Chelle to ensure the application of the requirements of the system. More strict adherence to choosing getting the ball to the man in space than looking for goal.

Sabotage, betrayal, hurt and heartbreak. The same issue or another one? We are talking about team discipline and how it can affect the team performance going forward. You are talking about sabotaging Osimhen. How?
The system is king. That is what is principal. The players should stick to the system. When there is a player in space in the offensive third, get the ball to him as fast as possible.

That is all. Anything different from that is sabotaging the system.

I understand Osimhen's perspective. Knowing his teammates can see him in position and not utilize will feel like heartbreak.

They will learn from it, get over it and unite stronger.

Las Las, they are brothers with common goal.

It is about continuous improvement and mastery of the system. It is the system that will carry us in the long run. It takes a lot of work to perfect it. So abandoning it because we feel we have done enough is not the way.

Betrayed!? Guy easy with the melodramatic description.

The team has been playing well and feeding Osimhen that's why he has three goals to his name.

Why couldn't Victor have waited till they get to the sanctity of the dressing room to express his frustrations?

Why the eye service forming passion to make it look like your teammates are stupid for not passing to you?

Quality tactics without adequate team spirit and unity won't get you anywhere. If I was his team mate yesterday even though I won't voice it out I would be saying who does this jerk think he is?

We have a crucial game on Saturday. Victor should channel that vex to the opposition we will face.

I admire Osimhen he should not allow his temper overshadow his many wonderful qualities.

See yesterday he scored twice deserving of standing ovation yet because of his poor attitude na boos he chop. I can bet yesterday for him mind he go dey say why are these ingrates booing me.
The system is king. Not the fans, not Osimhen, not Lookman or Chelle. Not the fans. The system. When the players are abandoning the game plan they are betraying the team in the long run. Whether we are winning 10-0 or not.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 11:22am On Jan 06
Chelle needs to also discuss with Osimhen regarding the optics of the team. Yes, he was heartbroken and felt betrayed but he needs to always put the team first.

He could sort this out in the locker room by having a private discussion with the faulting players and the manager.

Exploding on the pitch, creates a bad light of him and the team.

Osimhen should know he is now a world star and should carry himself as such.

I wish Chelle the best of sorting things out and I hope all parties put this behind them.

They should always remember that the system is king.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 11:02am On Jan 06
I agree that Osimhen comes out as arrogant. However, I don't see arrogance but fire for perfection. Osimhen is a player ready to run into the fire for his team and he wants that for everyone. The optics does not look good but if you understand that this is the fuel that drives him to keep performing at a high level, you will take it with a spoon full of sugar.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 11:00am On Jan 06
Osimhen feels betrayed and hurt by people he considers brothers. Chelle needs to get slides and let them understand Osimhen scoring in line with the tactics is a team goal.

The players must change their attitude. We are still a long way to go. Let us not ruin a good position.

Sabotage when your team is leading 3-0 with 2 goals assisted by the same teammates sabotaging you?
The point is simple. It is not a game thing but a long term goal. You need to keep oiling the tactics. Anything less is sabotage.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:57am On Jan 06
We have a nice system the coach is building and refusing to pass us like refusing to keep greasing the engine. We also need Osimhen's confidence and this attitude of refusing to pass to him will not help.

It shows seeds of disunity, mistrust and disharmony.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:55am On Jan 06
We are in a critical phase. We have the quality and tactics to pick this cup.

Time for players to drop their ego and think of the boss.

If Chelle wins the AFCON, it gives us a chance for tactical continuity. Let the players not deceive themselves. Second place will not be respected.

They need to kick off their negativity and pick up a team mentality.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:52am On Jan 06
The system is king.

This is what Eric Chelle needs to hammer to the players. It is a team sport. If the tactics favour Osimhen, not getting the ball to him is not only sabotaging Osimhen but sabotaging the growth of the team.
.
Tactical growth is long term and it takes lots of practicing the right things until it becomes second nature.

Thinking Osimhen has two goals and I must score two, betrayal the team and the manager.

We need to continue getting things right.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:49am On Jan 06
I hope Eric Chelle handles this with wisdom. I remember pointing this kind of thing out in the Nigerian match against Iceland, where Ahmed Musa scored two goals. In his second goal, Iheanacho was in space but Musa chose to skin the keeper and score a solo goal. It was an eye candy goal but tactically an eye sore.

It is not just a Lookman thing. I saw one of Bright and I just shook my head.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:47am On Jan 06
I have to comment about this Osimhen attitude issue. I am one never to hold back pointing out when a player is wrong but in this case, I understand Osimhen.

When a player is in space and the team fails to pass to him repeatedly, it turns to sabotage.

The bond in the National team is like brotherhood, so it is clear why Osimhen feels bitter.

He wanted first choice ke? He has some gall, making demands when him mind no strong. Somebody that abandoned his First Choice jersey because of small social media drags that time? If he had not opted out of the last AFCON on top mental health, we wouldn’t be dealing with Nwabali today.

Anyway, he should just be posting TikTok thirst traps dey go, as Anthony Joshua gave him visibility. All the best to him at his club. They should have tried to use him for WCQ small before this AFCON. Chelle no even say make he scout Goalies for us, just carry Uzoho that is barely a professional footballer, and that other guy who’s more famous for looking like Onana, than any actual goalkeeping talent, to serious tournament.

Honestly, I feel Iwobi is dropping too deep. We need that guy to play closer to the box. That's where he'll be more impactful.
Ndidi is not much of a distributor. So transition from defense to midfield will suffer without Iwobi. What is making it look poor is Iwobi not distributing properly and I expect Chelle to sort him out on that.

Correctly observed my top man.

The pressing from the front has been impressive and well sustained throughout the half. And yes, even when they switched roles and moved from zones to zones in transitions, they kept their shape better than the last game.
I agree. There is a big improvement in maintaining our shape. One that caught my eyes was when Calvin Bassey was off position and how we maintained a tidy shape.

If we can nail midfield long range distribution, we will be fire.

In all, I am impressed.

We are balling. I no believe say na Super Eagles dey play like this.

I dey suspect say na deliberate tactics by Tunisia to dey inside dem shell, and dem no wan commot. Now wey dem don concede, dem go come out come play ball.

Na second half match go start but I'm glad we're leading by a goal, and I'm so happy Osimhen has opened his goal account.
Iwobi is pulling a brilliant shift with his running but he needs to increase his long passing level. If he can keep falling deep to the deep lying playmaker role and get his long passes right, we will rip these Tunisians to shreds. A lot lies on Iwobi.

Iwobi should scan for spaces and stop trying to thread tight passes. In the words of Tuchel, there is always space. Iwobi needs to spend more time finding spaces.
