Humility017: dont be surprised guys if this guy makes it to Russia , i am having the feeling, he has some unique style and so far in this competition he has nt done badly .... has the power and his hold up play is good ... also have a way of coming to the midfield to contribute to the team , i know he has missed some begging chances and one on one ... but he can get better , what if he his been drill and he develop so fast into the kind of beast we will need ? i think stage fright has contributed to his ability , but he keeps improving ... pay attention to him , he is Strong and dangerous . just my opinion 4 Likes |

There were reports that Oliseh has been sacked but he has denied it. Either ways, it looks like he will be let go at the end of the season. His man management issues at play again. 3 Likes |

Sudan vs Nigeria I hope Salisu Yusuf has fixed the wasteful Eagles. I didn't expect it to take him this long to find a solution to his misfiring squad. He needs to borrow a leaf from Rohr. The german tactician in a very short time into his appointment employed shooting drills in training to correct and bring desired change in the A team. We saw the improvement in players like Mikel, S. Moses, Iwobi, etc in subsequent matches after the Tazania match where we created as many as 23 chances but could only convert 1. This shooting accuracy has seen the team become more clinical in front of goal going on to score 4goals out of a total of 5shots on target against Argentinal-this kind of improvement makes one happy and at the same time left one wandering on Salisu's inability to translate such thing into the CHAN team having spend more time with the local boys... Well, tomorow isn't far away. The team needs to take their chances and bury the game as early as possible. Wishing the boys a successful passage to the final. 2 Likes |

Croatia Coach, Dalic: Match Vs ‘Young, Potent And Hungry’ Nigerian Team Will Decide Our W/Cup Fate Croatia head coach, Zlatko Dalic, has described the Super Eagles of Nigeria as a ‘young, potent and hungry’ side with great potentials, admitting that the result of his team’s first match at Russia 2018 World Cup against the three-time African champions will decide their fate in the tournament . Croatia will open their 2018 FIFA World Cup Group D campaign against Nigeria on June 16, in Kaliningrad. This is the first time both countries will clash at the senior level. Speaking to FIFA.com , Dalic, while assessing Croatia’s Group D opponents, which also includes Argentina and newcomers, Iceland, stated that their opening game against Nigeria will decide how far they will go in Russia. “Iceland were the best team in our group. We know them very well and had a tough loss against them in Reykjavik.,” Dalic began. “Argentina are obviously one of the favourites to win the World Cup, while I see Nigeria as a young, potent and hungry team with great potential. That first match against Nigeria is very important – it will set the tone for the rest of our tournament.” Dalic described Real Madrid star midfielder Luka Modric as the lifewire of the Croatian team, but however stated that the main strength is in their unity. “For Croatia, he (Modric) is our best player – he’s the engine that makes us go. He’s also a captain who leads by example. He always gives his maximum, he sets high standards with his attitude, aggression and energy on the pitch, and with his behaviour off it. “We have good players in big European clubs, so obviously we have great individual quality in the likes of Modric, Mandzukic, Rakitic, [Ivan] Perisic, Kalinic and others. But our main strength has to be the team. “I believe that pride and patriotism show by our players when playing for Croatia is a very important attribute. That’s something we need to combine with our quality; if we do that, we’ll have a good chance of reaching our goals.” And on his plans ahead of the World Cup, he said: “I plan to travel and meet with players and their club coaches, to talk about their status and form. I am focused on only choosing fully fit players, and they know that. “We also have two great friendly matches in March against Peru and Mexico in USA, and I hope to have two more strong opponents in June. We want to see how good we are and what we need to improve on before the World Cup, and to play teams with similar styles to those we’re going to face in Russia.” https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/croatia-coach-dalic-match-vs-young-potent-hungry-nigerian-team-will-decide-w-cup-fate/ |

Croatia Coach Dalic Wary Of “Fast And Powerful” Super Eagles, Admires Mikel Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic has described the Super Eagles of Nigeria as powerful opponents and also insists that his team must get a win against the three-time African champions to harbour any hope of progressing beyond the group stage at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. The Croats will face the Super Eagles in their first Group D game at the Mundial at the Kaliningrad Stadium on June 16. Two-time world champions Argentina and Iceland, who will be making their debut at the finals, are the other teams in the group. Dalic also picked former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel as Nigeria’s most influential player. “Nigeria’s is not a typical African team,they have Mikel as captain with young, fast and powerful players,” Dalic who was a defensive midfielder during his playing days stated in an interview with Sporske. jutarnji.hr . “They are always lively and it will not be easy to play against them. If we are to go through to the next round, then we have to beat them.” https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/croatia-coach-dalic-wary-fast-powerful-super-eagles-admires-mikel/ |

Icon4s:I understand you...but i think wit only two session practise on shooting drills will tell a lot on their play... all they need no is to put their shoots on the ground and not on the air... that alone will help in their subsequent matches.... many a time this coaches are clueless on what to bring out in this players not really because the players are that bad... they have been no player that have never been worked on by their coaches... I blame yusuf a little but more blame should go to the club coaches.... |
