raumdeuter: Emenalo played as a left back in the world cup. So he obviously didn't obstruct Ugbade's chance of getting selected. Emeka Ezeugo had a physical presence Ugbade didn't have. Oliseh and Ugbade were both in nations cup as two midfielders who didn't play the world cup qualifying matches. Ugbade was a flop and kept exposing us. I was pained he was not allowed to make the world cup team to enable him male history. But the decision was the best. Some people wanted Ikpeba to be dropped because he was a new invitee who whose chance of getting a game was 1/20 |

elampiro: Ugbade believed it was spiritual. Lol First of all he suddenly started battling niggling injuries from late 1993, which he believes led to his poor 1994 form. Secondly, out of nowhere Keshi brought Emenalo to the camp, meaning Ugbade’s possible place even as a bencher was in jeopardy. Then the Nollywood part. The night before the list came out Ugbade said he had a terrible dream in which he had a life and death struggle with someone whose face he could not see. They struggled all night and in the early hours of the morning at the point the person became victorious he was woken up by a knock on the door. It was one of the coaches, to tell him that he had not made the final World Cup list and had to leave camp. The poor man connected the dots. He also never really recovered from the injuries. 2 Likes |

elampiro: Ugbade believed he would have gone as reserve LB because he had played that position several times as well. Emenalo coming in blocked that possibility. There was no place for him in that loaded midfield. |

elampiro: It was definitely the right decision. He was not fit throughout that 1994 but kept hiding it in order to try and make history. That was the era when players used to hide their injuries in order to play for their country. Ikpeba hired limousine to take himself to the airport after Italy beat us(while others used the team bus). He was angry that he didn’t get any opportunity to shine in the tournament. |

afrodoc2: It isn't that clearcut even among Milan fans This is a Milan forum dating back to 2003, when Maldini still had like 5yrs to retire and they were split down the middle on who was better, I am sure chic2pimp or Roland17 who identify with Milan will also have that struggle I watched more Maldini than Baresi and I think Paolo was marginally better http://forum.acmilan-online.com/showthread.php?t=1991 1 Like |

chic2pimp: When we were kids playing football, and we used to give ourselves the names of famous footballers, Baresi was usually the only defender whose name boys chose. In the midst of Rummenigges, Platinis, Van Bastens, Gullits, and Maradonas. |

raumdeuter: Rather than faceless fans many of whom probably didn’t watch peak Baresi I would go with the registered club fans and Serie A footballers association members who voted Baresi as AC Milan Player of the Century and Serie A Player of the Century respectively. He had the higher peak although Maldini had the longer career. |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by raumdeuter: 5:58pm On Apr 15, 2020 |
Ibime: I didnt remember him playing in Senegal 92, Na Elastic Elahor own the left wing Ibime: Westerhof brought in Emenalo and Nwanu late into the US94 squad as they didnt play Tunisia, The Emenalo decision was good because Iroha got injured in our first game and missed the rest of the tournament |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Ibime(m): 6:02pm On Apr 15, 2020 |
raumdeuter: Yeah he was bench fodder. Elahor and Yekini no gree am play. Emenalo actually acquitted himself well in 1994 World Cup. Argentina match was the first time I ever saw him play for Naija. His wing was solid. It was always Eguavoen wing that was leaking 1 Like |

afrodoc2: The century will mean up till 1999 when Maldini was still playing actively Just like FIFA player of the century Ronaldo Lima finished 7th and Zidane 9th behind players like Eusebio, Baggio Romario. If they do it now will these 3 players finish ahead of Zidane and Ronaldo Lima? |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by afrodoc2: 6:03pm On Apr 15, 2020 |
Ibime: We were leading and Westerhof opted for the solidity of Oliha but those 2 injuries blunted our attack. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by elampiro(m): 6:08pm On Apr 15, 2020 |
Ibime: My consideration is limited to those players who 'prosecuted' the 1994 world cup qualifying matches and the 1994 Nations cup. Mostly from the first group game away to Ivory Coast. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by raumdeuter: 6:11pm On Apr 15, 2020 |
Ibime: Nwanu and Emenalo were actually good additions. Nwanu was better than Keshi and Okafor as partner to Uche, Efan Ekoku was not so good and Yekini also struggled in US94, That was the beginning of Yekinis decline, That was when rumors of a mafia started to surface that they refused to feed Yekini the ball |

raumdeuter: KAIZER FRANZ!!!!! Baressi all the way! This man was excellent at reading and predicting moves minutes before they occur. His timing with tackles and ability to obstruct plays were golden and only a very few have been able to replicate this. Baba was on another level! In 94, even though Italy lost and Baresi missed his PK, Brazil, especially Bebeto/Romario saw "shege" for him hand. They could not get past him, infact when they figured he was too fast and quick at reading ground passes, they switched to lobbing passes, thinking since he is short he would not catch up, 'Who sigh!!!!" Baba was using over head kicks to get ahead even before the ball reach Brazilian forwards!!!! Baresi is the golden standard and represented the Calcio Italia's identity (defense/ strategy) as the game transitioned from the 80's into the 90's (new generation). He was skilled at passing, with a good on-ball technique which was near non-existent for defenders in that era and while he is short, it was never a short coming. I think his technique and finesse was what separated him his generation of Italian/ world defenders. We are talking about the only Italian player in history to be voted "Player of the Century" and look no further than the skills I highlighted above. I always look forward to when the"Ultras" have his large banner. 8 Likes 1 Share |

raumdeuter: That's akin to asking me to pick between Messi and Maradona, or Ronaldo and Pele |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by raumdeuter: 6:26pm On Apr 15, 2020 |
Ibime: Its worse than that, once you pick CR7 you cannot pick anyone who ever played for Madrid, Pick Messi and you cannot pick Ronaldo, Dinho Romario, Neymar Suarez etc |
