Maybe calling Henry's actions stupid was a bit harsh but Onyekuru should have done research on the club he is joining and modify his behavior accordingly. First impressions matter a lot. To you and me dyeing your hair color is no big deal but to Olympiacos fans it might be more serious. Remember how Man U fans some seasons back gave Pogba grief for changing his hair color blue before a derby game against Man City so it's not unheard off. Henry should just make sure his football does the talking for him positively. BascoVanVeli: 2 Likes |

True but for whatever it's worth you still respect the feelings of club supporters sometimes they can be irrational and make or mar your time at the club. One simple misstep on the pitch they might start questioning his commitment to the club talking about his hair color and flashy lifestyle. Might sound silly but you know how some critics can be. Even though Pogba scored twice and don't think that has still exactly made him the darling of fans at old trafford. Plus it's not the act of dyeing his hair that is the issue but choice of color. We may not be partisan like that but you know how crazy European fans can get. Anyway this is still conjecture. Wishing Henry all the best. BascoVanVeli: |

andrew444:How many Villrreal players participated in euros? For Chelsea we have Werner, Havertz, Rudiger, Kante, Zouma, Christensene, James, Chilwel, Mount, Emerson and Jorgingo. Silva for Copa America. Aside Moreno which other Villarreal player participated? Or you're telling me that Chalaoba, Zouma, Alonso, CHO, Mendy, Kante, Kova, Ziyech, Havertz and Werner are our first choice 11? Villarreal took the game too serious and physical, so Chelsea just played safe. Or Tuchel will have that lineup in UCL final and remove Kante after first half? When he is not stupiddd. If you watched the match, immediately after Ziyech got injured, Chelsea dropped in momentum. Before then, Chelsea had 71% in first half with Villarreal continuously on the back foot but afterwards they just slowed down cux dem no wan injure. |

League Dey start this weekend and look at what you are saying Abeg all your players are 100 percent fit Dem Dey call players wey play euros you Dey call players wey don go house since round of 16 and bench warmers ,the calling of mount and Christensen is the only reasonable call you did there Hope you know pau torres played yesterday ,do you realize that he played against Brazil in the Olympic men football finals ? Same harvetz and Werner that started the champions league final against man city no be your first choice 11 or Wetin you mean ?

TheLoneCitizen: For those not understanding the severity of this. This is how Greece have responded. Fws.gr "Oniekouros considered the day after a painful blockade to be the right time to fly to Istanbul to dye his hair green, the messages coming in are not encouraging." Even Panathinaikoskosmos, fan page of Panathinaikos, disapproved of this: "Trolling of the century to Olympiakos. Of course, the African did it because of Nigeria, but the connection with the eternal opponent, Panathinaikos, is inevitable. With green hair, it is bad. Of course someone will talk to him" Biggest sports media House in GREECE, SDNA: "What happened to Oniekourou is not simple. The newcomer revealed a root of evil that exists in Piraeus and so far has not been pointed out by anyone." Zougla.gr "A color that the friends of the "red and whites" do not want to see. Specifically, the 24-year-old Nigerian dyed his hair green! While wearing a Celtics jersey, something that provoked reactions from Piraeus fans. In fact, Oniekourou wrote in his Instagram post: "Everywhere is green"." What is more annoying is that the whole of Greece knows that he rejected Olympiakos initially for Istanbul. Very unwise. 5 Likes 3 Shares

andrew444:lol so Jorginho and Emerson were bench warmers at euros? Funny how it's only James and Chilwell that were on bench.. Most Chelsea players only resumed training a week ago so what are you about? Pau Torres played cause Emery took the micky mouse cup seriously. Tuchel wouldn't do such. Chelsea bench yesterday was stronger than the starting lineup, even the commentators confirmed it. Abi you wan argue? |

ChrisKels: Get your facts right, mate. Ryan Babel NEVER donned a yellow or orange hair in a Besiktas shirt. NEVER. Despite this being the colour of his nation. He only tried red, which is the away colour of Besiktas. Onyekuru being Nigerian gives him no grounds to don a rival's colour on his head. Secondly what do you mean by hang the young chap? Everyone knows that I rate Onyekuru as my favourite and Super Eagles' best winger since 2018. TheLoneCitizen: |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheLoneCitizen(m): 3:28pm On Aug 12, 2021 |
andrew444: If wearing green is the problem, then Olympiakos will never have signed him, as he plays for a green nation. And the bolded was necessary, because the coach could have used him against Ludogorets. But he protected from the pressure to perform in such a tense match. Due to this move, reporters slaughtered the manager in his press conference for not playing Onyekuru. He took a bullet for the player. |

chrisooblog: This is the point. Alongside Ejuke, Onyekuru is a player I like so much, but in my opinion, this is not just silly, but plain stupid for many reasons. 1. It comes a day after a painful loss where Olympiakos lost at least €30m. 2. Panathinaikos vs Olympiacos is the most fierce rivalry/derby in Greece. 3. Everyone in Greece knows he once rejected Olympiakos, so they will perceive this as lackadaisical. 4. He is their biggest signing in years, so responsibility is expected. 5. He is yet to kick a football, so humility is expected. 6. He has drawn unnecessary attention and pressure to himself. 7. Everyone knows that glamorous hairstyles and quality don't go hand in hand. Ole Gunnar once narrated an experience when he refused to scout a player because of the player's hairstyle. You will see the hair will be gone by Thursday when they play Slovan. 4 Likes |

jihday:Though I don't think it's the reason, but Olympic Football is actually a FIFA competition. It is run, recognized and sanctioned by FIFA. The only difference is that teams don't play under their FA but the Sports ministry or Olympic committee. The same goes for FIBA and Basketball. I don't know why people usually think it isn't. If you didn't notice, the referees all wore the normal FIFA badge https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/mensolympic 1 Like
