Samassekou doesn’t want Akpoguma to play for the Super Eagles


The Hoffenheim midfielder believes, nonetheless, that the centre-back would be a good addition for Nigeria


Hoffenheim midfielder Diadie Samassekou has acknowledged that he doesn’t want his club teammate Kevin Akpoguma to represent the Super Eagles, as he’s worried about how much the centre-back could improve Nigeria.


The defender was born in Germany but is eligible for the West African giants via his father, and has previously stated that he’d be open to representing the Super Eagles, despite having represented Germany at youth level.


While teammate Samassekou believes the 25-year-old would be a good asset for Gernot Rohr’s side, he’s attempted to dissuade the towering defender from committing to Nigeria.
“I think he would be a great help for [Nigeria],” Mali international Samassekou told Goal , “so for me, it would be better if they didn’t have Akpo.
“[I haven’t really asked him about it] because I’m not Nigerian,” the midfielder continued, “but for the development and improvement of African football, it would be great if he goes there.”


Akpoguma hasn’t represented Germany at any level since 2017, having worked his way up from U-16 level to the U-21s, but is yet to formally be introduced to the Nigeria set-up despite opening the door to a switch in 2018.


“I don’t know what he’s thinking,” Samassekou concluded. “This is a question you should ask him, and he’ll give you the right answer.”
Akpoguma signed for Hoffenheim from Karlsruher in 2013, but has taken his time settling in the first team.


This season, however, having previously had loan stints with Fortuna Dusseldorf and Hannover 96, he’s made 16 appearances in the Bundesliga including 12 starts.
It’s been a strong campaign from the club, who are still firmly in the race for European qualification with four matches to go.


Ahead of Friday evening’s game against RasenBallsport Leipzig, the villagers are only two points behind sixth-placed Wolfsburg, who currently occupy the last Europa League qualification berth.
The German top flight is currently a hotbed for Nigerian players and dual-nationality Nigerian talents.


Kingsley Ehizibue is one of the most recent new call-ups to Rohr’s Nigeria squad, while the likes of Anthony Ujah and Jamilu Collins have been familiar faces in the past and present.


There’s also a seam of potential new invitees to the national side, with Ademola Lookman and Jordan Torunarigha among several players eligible to turn out for the Eagles.

Who is watchin Getafe game, how is Etabo Karo playing

oooiiiinnnnn he is not doing well ohhh
he conceded the free kick that led to his the first goal against his team he has been extremely silent in game
IMO he has a very poor game

IF he starts playing for City, I definitely will. Same applies to any player now having a rough patch. K.Nwakali etc
Like I said, if he commits to Nigeria today he will be down the pecking order in SE. That's the context of my original post.

Modified,

Certainly, Uduokhai, Torunarigha are players that would push for places if they commit today.

komekn:


IMO he has had a steep learning curve he has had some very hard schooling in the Championship.

He has stopped being a boy, I watched him in one game bully Dominic Iorfa and score.

He is now outside of Tomori the best Nigerian origin central defender l expect to see him either playing for Man City, ( l will absolutely not be suprised) at the very least in the EPL.

So if he starts playing for City will that change our perception or any other EPL club.

Finally, who do you think is better than him currently or other prospects ❓

The truth is Akpoguma dey use the guy get attention.. lol

Well there is no standard definition to it. But I would like you to ask the world class question as regards Ozil, and let' see if it would sound right. Else, it supports my position.

benji93:
We agree to disagree. World-class itself can be used in two lights. Momentarily or extensively(all-time). Was Ozil world-class 5/6 years ago, yes. But all-time, maybe not. He dominated for about 5 years. I consider that borderline all-time. If your argument is, once you attain world-class, even if your form deeps, the potential to ascend to that point still exists, I'll probably take it. Ozil has been a journeyman for over 4 years and still counting. He probably has settled with the journeyman status. If he lost form, and 1 or 2 years into his struggles, you ask me if he is still world-class, I'll probably say yes without thinking twice. 5 years of dominance followed by 4 years of Journey-man status in your role cannot be considered world-class momentarily, and perhaps borderline world-class all-time, IMO.

few pages ago you assumed that i differed with you because I was bearing a grudge or whatever you were trying to imply. Now you are playing victim that someone got you banned. I wonder what stops you from creating a new moniker to argue your case. I didn't rain any abuses in your direction so nothing stops you from answering my posts. I advise others to stay out of the discussion and watch. So no excuses now. So many claims you made in your posts that has no factual backing. I'm waiting for you to prove it without resorting to calling names. It's as easy as that.

elunico:


Oh you think I'm lacking in substance right?

I was ready to take on all of you before I got banned. My silence should no way be mistaken for concession despite going all homimem on me.

Like I said, I'm done with the topic, you can't bring me back in.

The truth is Akpoguma dey use the guy get attention.. lol

no be lie o!
it might have been arranged lmao

Systematic Attention seeking

Ighalo vs Ajayi

lol. Cuz The story no get head and tail

I still dont Believe Amos Adamu is from the north, he might be an Edo man tho,



majority of Sani, Ibrahim, Aminu,
with a certain Sani Toro, with one of them wanting to make himself a live president

Amos Adamu is from Sokoto State but Ogbomosho descendants from Oyo State.

Sani Toro remain the best NFF secretary general ever and Abdulmumini Aminu had a good time as NFA chairman.

Abdulmumini Aminu was the founder of Elkanemi warrior of maiduguri when he was Borno State governor and lured players like Samson Siasia,Osaro Obabaifo and Nduka Ugbade to Elkanemi

Joebie:
lol. Cuz The story no get head and tail

exactly moreover sef Naija no need am
udokhai and apkoguma are no better to we have already the main deal is torunarigha and I pray we get him

do4luv14:

Or a seasoned sport journalist like Colin Udon,


ah no wan hear Segun Odegbemi ooo

kai you want Colin Udoh but you don't want Odegbami,then am speechless.

Do you really know Segun Odegbami?

Apart from being a good footballer in his days, Odegbami love the game so dearly.He solely worked tirelessly and made sure Nigeria played England after US 94(Wembly showdown)

He was one of the brains behind private investment in Nigeria league and sports in general.I remember how Odegbami always traveling with eagles to give us live updates on what was going on in eagles Camp

Apart from football,Odegbami ventured into other sports by managing sports men and women.If you don't know,Odegbami took over the management of Chioma Ajunwa prior to Atlanta 96 and the result was a gold medal won by individual(Ajunwa)till date in Nigeria Olympics history.

If not for highly politicking in Nigeria sport administration,someone like Odegbami should have been NFA chairman long time ago even sport minister.

Yes Toru is ahead now but the tides can change again.

I am currently watching NIG Vs ARG 2010 world cup in SA, Haruna was a meastro in this game, he did the real job of an Attacking midfielder effortlessly. I didn't know this guy is this good.

His loss of form was tragic to say the least. I dont know why he left Monaci as he geadually sunk into oblivion after that.
I still greive for him. There was a time in that match he collected the ball from messi effortlessley

Edopesin:


lols even lukaku is averaging better goal stats

If you're not consistent sorry bro you're not World class IN MY OPINION

are you trying to say Lukaku isn't world class?

andrewbaba44:

Lukaku is already there, maybe if he keep being constitent in seria in the next 2 years

You no get point to give okay, thats why you said the arguement cant hold, you simply have nothing to say than to type he isnt world class

Only a world class player can be consistent for 10 seasons

EOD

he go West Brom he shine, go everton Man Utd and Inter he still shine, Belgium all time top scorer but some blinded fans think he's not good enough. If na Naija player I can only imagine how them go take dey praise am

Edopesin:


Where are you looking for consistency when you already claimed that he is there?

The only point you have is that any player with 100 goals is world class and I cannot argue because that's your criteria not mine and you even had to compare lampard with lukaku in the EPL

To me being world class is more than accumulating career goals finito

as a striker what metric will you use to categorize a player as world class?

Lmao which kind talk be this one, you are not convinced Terry, Hazard are world class. What else do you need to be convinced

chrisooblog:
well yes the term "world class" can be relative but clear is clear. in fact I would go further to break it so down to two broad categories. the shalaye and non shalaye group.

with the shalaye players you will do analysis upon analysis, drop stats and write endless thesis why you feel player A is world class which at the end of the day you yourself might not be convinced. players in this category are oil, John Terry, cantona, hazard etc

for the non shalaye it is pretty obvious the said players are world class so you won't need to engage in needless argument. players like Messi, Brazilian Ronaldo, C. Ronaldo, Pele, maradona etc are in this group

Let me delve into d issue of world class stuff,as for me any player to b considered a world class player must possess at least 2 out of this three areas I am abt to say

1...d player must b consistent in terms of performance on and off d field in a well known league,(especially d top 5ive leagues we have)

2...d player MUST HAVE at least some few personal known awards/accolades whether in his club team,league or national awards yearly and also team trophy(ies) in his cabinet to show for his consistency(performance)


3....d player must at least always make d 1st -40 ballon d'or /FIFA player of d year nomination list, or d 1st- 10 continental player of d year award nomination list YEARLY; dis is a sign dt u re reckoned with in d world of football ......


So any player dt doesn't possess @ least 2 out of d 3 aforementioned point to me,its not a world class player yet as far as I am concerned..dts y I only considered "MIKEL" has d only WORLD CLASS PLAYER WE HAD IN SUPER EAGLES during his time.

I dont need to agree with this before i consider a player world class when my eye no blind and i dey follow football bumper to bumper

But if i am to go by this then Gonzalo Higuain is 100 percent world class

Finito

Neobulletzz:

I consider John Terry world class but not many people would agree. As for Eden Hazard he is very good but for me personally I don't consider him world class because I don't think he has done enough over a period of time

chrisooblog:

Everybody will agree that john terry is world class bro
