Last game of the season against a poor club with already decided positions and the player courting 100-million money suitors? What did you expect?

At the end of the whole showboating, what did he do with the ball? What was his final decision? This is why I said he is all brawns. I think you guys should stop with these unnecessary hypes and let this boy focus. For now, his same is still amateurish because he positioning is still suspect, his decision making poor. He uses his physical strength more than he does his brains. Maybe he would come good with time, but you guys ain't helping him with these overhypes. I remember warning you guys also that the hypes were unnecessary when Awaziem made his Porto debut.

Scottish Cup final: Calvin Bassey leads the
way for Rangers' triumph

By Tom English
BBC Scotland
4 hours ago Rangers


You can imagine the scene in the Rangers inner-
sanctum. The stats guys plug in Calvin Bassey's
GPS monitor and download his numbers from this
Cup that was 2-0 going on five and six-nil, a set
of figures so stratospherically high that the laptop
sizzles and explodes under the weight of the data.
"The man mountain," as former Ibrox manager Alex
McLeish described him, was out on his own as the
final's best player, so much so that when they were
dishing out the medals, they should have given him
two of them. It wasn't just the quality of his work, it
was the joy on his face while doing that work that
lit the place up.
One hundred minutes into the Europa League final
in the dead heat of Seville on Wednesday night,
Bassey was the one tracking back and hounding
Eintracht Frankfurt's Ansgar Knauff out of
possession. One hundred minutes into this
Hampden final, he was flying up his left wing in
support of a Rangers attack.
One hundred and fourteen minutes saw him stretch
his calf on the touchline, an episode that made you
wonder if he was actually made of flesh and bone
after all rather than being put together in a lab
some place.
To be fair, it was a quick stretch. Two minutes
later, he snuffed Hearts out and won a throw-in. In
the 119th minute, he won another throw-in, two
minutes after that, 121 minutes now, he was
involved again. All of a sudden, he gave the
impression of a fresh player. The Duracell Bunny
must run on Calvin batteries.
He covered every blade of grass with such gusto
that you wondered at times how many of him were
actually out there. Defending astutely, attacking
dangerously, whipping in precise crosses that
presented golden chances that were missed.
Watching from the distance, the injured Alfredo
Morelos must have salivated at the service being
offered. This was one of the most accomplished
and effervescent performances we've seen from an
individual in a Scottish Cup final for quite some
time.
At the end, he dropped to his knees and gave
thanks, then rose up and scampered off to be with
the Rangers supporters, his arms windmilling, his
face beaming. Bassey is 22, that's the phenomenal
thing. He's a player of massive potential, a guy who
will have his suitors in the summer if anybody
down south or beyond is paying attention.
How Rangers folk will hope that the radars of the
monied ones have slipped. Bassey is a talent they'll
want to savour for a while yet.



They did it at last, then. So many years and so
many failed cracks at winning another Scottish Cup,
but that odyssey ended on Saturday. It went to extra
time, which would have been entirely unnecessary
had Rangers not been so wasteful and Craig
Gordon not been so Craig Gordon.

Bassey put over a lovely cross to Joe Aribo in the
38th minute, but Aribo headed over. Bassey put
over another lovely cross to Amad Diallo in the
42nd minute, but Diallo put it over. Bassey, himself,
had a crack in the 75th minute, but Gordon saved.
Just before the end of normal time, Aribo had his
shirt pulled and should have had a penalty but still
got his shot away, which, guess what, Gordon
saved brilliantly. Then, Scott Wright's header
clipped the top of the bar.

Hearts arrived with hope despite losing three and
drawing one against Rangers this season. Ellis
Simms hit the post when he should have hit the net
after 10 minutes and from that point on the life was
drained out of them by a Rangers team not just
playing their second 120-minuter in four days but
getting stronger and stronger as the time ticked by.
It was their 65th game of the season. It didn't look
it.

The underdogs barely managed a growl, not to
mind a bark. They had injury concerns coming into
this but John Souttar and Craig Halkett both started
and both played well, so that's no excuse for the
one-sided nature of it. The fact that it went to extra
time was bizarre, but it did and Rangers dealt with
it.

Osimhen should not near any arsenal with no champions league football currently,we need victor in the champions league to show Europe what he can do

Darwin Nunez showed the world some stuff at benfica ,he is refusing to join Man U because they aren’t on the champions league ,man united bid 80 million and it was rejected ,dude scored 6 champions league goals in 10 games ,imagine osimhen doing that with Napoli

He should not think of spurs because of Harry Kane

John Chetauya Nwankwo Donald made his first league appearance for Elche CF in La Liga for 21/22. He made 2 apps last season but didn't go the distance. This time, he played all 90 and dropped quite a solid performance at the back.

Note: He's already made 3 Copa Del Rey apps this season. While he made 2 apps last season in same Cup competition.


His stats: 86% passing accuracy, 4 tackles, 2 interceptions, 1 clearance off the line, 3 blocked shots, 4/7 ground duels won, 2/4 aerial duels won, 1/3 accurate long balls, 1 foul committed. Solid.

Eligible for Nigeria and Spain.

Fun Fact: Chidozie Awaziem

Chidozie Awaziem ends the 21/22 Turkish Super lig with a Commanding performance in Alanyaspor's 1-0 away win to finish 5th on the table. He played from LB and played all 90mins.


Now here's the real fun fact, Current Super Eagles Coach, Jose Peseiro, was the man in charge of FC Porto when Chidozie Awaziem made his senior Porto debut back in 2016. Peseiro went on to start Awaziem in 9 further league games out of the subsequent 12 league games that followed till the end of the 2015/2016 season before he was sacked and Nuno Espirito Santo came in (Nuno was much later was replaced by current manager, Sergio Conceicao). Now Awaziem and Peseiro are reunited.



Meanwhile...
Awaziem finishes the Super Lig 21/22 season with:

- 18 league games (17 starts)
- 1 Goal
- 6 cleansheets
- 87% passing accuracy per game (52 accurate passes per game)
- 3.7 accurate long balls per game (53% long balls accuracy)
- 1.7 interceptions per game
- 2.1 tackles per game.
- 4.1 clearances per game.



C.Awaziem and C.Bassey could just be the Defensive duo to whom Peseiro hand the Eagles' defensive reins.

Lol... relax. You know very well how much I follow these lads bumper to bumper.

Ozornwafor still sits behind Awaziem for now. That's fact. But Ozornwafor is welcome to boost our defensive tactical variety and options. His libero role at Charleroi this season was very nice to watch. He's gotten better and I expect Peseiro and the crew have their eyes on him with time.

so with awaziem’s lack of playing time you will prefer having him in he team instead of ozonwafor who hv been an ever present figure this season for Charleroi?
