FIFA WWC: How Nigeria Can Beat England- Leo Abanikanda Olagbaiye by adefitim(m): 4:31pm On Aug 06, 2023 |
Dear Coach Randy Waldrun.......✍️🏿 Beating England is EASY and I mean every letter in the word e•a•s•y. Your job is not as difficult as the multitude have painted it.I have no doubt we will make England look ordinary after showing everyone how to beat them. These are my recommendations: 1. Give a single assignment to the Midfield Maestro, Halimatu Ayinde - Cage the Lionesses' star forward Lauren James. Have you seen matches where star players are not allowed to "breathe" before? What is simply done is to assign one DMF/Defender to the star player of your opponent. Their only assignment will be to hold the player down, they go everywhere with the player, close marking them to ensure they do not "breathe" and by extension prevent them from playing a fluid game. 2. Let Christy Ucheibe take charge of the DMF. Christy is no doubt a Mercenary who Marshalls the midfield effortlessly and have what it takes to command that role she was beautifully crafted for. Lets take a sneak peek into the statistics of Miss Dependable: Most Tackles - 18 Most Duels Won- 28 Most Chances Created- 5 Joint Most Interceptions- 4 2nd Most Ball Recoveries - 23 2nd Most Blocks - 8 Having her regular partner Halimatu being "away" on a special assignment will further bring out the fierceness in her. It is a test I have no doubt Ucheibe will pass in colours. 3. Tony Payne will take care of the Central Midfield....more work for her as she will distribute balls and also assist Ucheibe from time to time. She is our Ms. Capable and knows just how to bring "pain" to our opponents. 4. Rasheedat Ajibade who carries triple-engine already has her work cut out for her- assist the top striker and fall back to roam the midfield, assisting Payne and Ucheibe. I also believe she will work well with Alozie who keeps improving on the flanks., 5. Kanu hasn't proven to have the engine capacity of Ajibade, she can keep up with the dangerous passes for whoever is upfront there on that day. 6. Gift Monday could be a surprise inclusion and might replace Kanu because of her speed, tricks and ruggedness. We need to wear the English girls out after 40minutes, as such, players who carry more than one engine will be very needed in this game. 7. Alozie needs little help as she has mastered how to run between the defence , midfield and attack effortlessly. Ajibade on her side of the pitch has proven to be a double combo. 8.Oshoala MUST start from the bench as we have seen her do against Australia with proven results to back it up. Starting the matches have not been productive and I hope we have learnt from the past matches. 9. Desire Oparanozie should be 100% fit for this game and if she is, then she gets a starting shirt ahead of Onumonu, that way we have the desired spark upfront while Asisat can read the game to come in as a sub that will do the needed damage to our opponents. 10. Dimehin and Ohale combo is sweet to watch as they keep getting better, they will put up a fighting spirit that will keep our home secured on Monday. 11. Chi(Amaka) has not dissapointed us and we keep Faith with our Super Shot Stopper PS: Same England could only manage a goal past Haiti, same for Danmark at the group stages. They could only pull that stunt with a "Made in China" team. Deborah "Kante" Abiodun's red card was unfairly extended for such a time as this but she will be back because we will beat England. ©Ifeoluwa Leo #PositiveNGVibes #Sports #PositivelyNigerian Mynd44 Seun Lalasticlala Nlfpmod |
