Goalkeeper-Turned-Striker, Suleiman Shaibu Scores Twice For His Club by kidap: 7:41am On Nov 04
Suleiman Shaibu, the Nigerian goalkeeper-turned-striker for TP Mazembe, continued his impressive form with a match-winning performance against US Panda. In a surprising turn of events, Shaibu, who was recently converted to a forward due to the club's player shortage, scored two goals in their 3-0 victory.

Just a week ago, Shaibu was donning the goalkeeper's gloves. Now, he's finding the back of the net with remarkable ease. His transition to a forward role has been seamless, as evidenced by his Man of the Match performance against US Panda.

Shaibu's success story highlights the importance of versatility and adaptability in football. His willingness to embrace a new challenge and his ability to perform at a high level in a completely different position is truly commendable.

As TP Mazembe continues to navigate their current challenges, Shaibu's emergence as a reliable goalscorer provides a glimmer of hope for the future. His journey serves as an inspiration to aspiring footballers everywhere.

In Nigeria, all our goalkeepers tend to be good with their feet because most Nigerians only become goalkeepers very late in their careers, when it's clear they won't make it in other positions. Even Nwabali used to be an outfield player.

I used to have a friend like that during our secondary school days. He was both good at striking position and goalkeeping. His name is Ibrahim Famous.

Versatility implies that you can be a master of all trades!
The ability to innovate is critical.
Do not be too rigid when it comes to change.

Yea. This is very true. I use to be a striker on the pitch. But too much competition in the striking role made me to become a winger so as to get a place in the team!
