I just watched Ghana Algeria highlight and I feel Ghana didn't play badly. They need a new goalkeeper though and the defense need to be more focused. If they have had their penalty, the course of the game would have been different |

TheSuperNerd: You're one of the monikers I respect here But some times good we don't allow sentiments becloud our sense of judgement With all this rating how many goals and assists has Nwakali this season? With the long diagonal splitting passes he makes how many have been direct assist this season ? More so he pose all this stats in LOWLY RATED SEGUNDA B there is nothing spectacular in all your posted bro Like I said he is just a prospect with this afcon team not yet proven in the super eagles so all the hype around him is uncalled for 5 Likes |

humility33: Good..... now that you mention the bolded... help me with these. because I want to show you something. I asked Emeka but he ran away from the questions. Nwakali is a Central Midfield playmaker/Conductor and there is something about players of his ilk you need to understand. How many assists did Modric have at the World Cup in Russia? And why exactly was he named best player at that WC? How many assists had Xavi at Euros 2008 and tell me why he was named MVP of the tournament? How many assists did Mikel have at Holland 2005 FIFA U20 WYC to be named by all who saw him & others as the true best player of the whole tournament? And how many goals and assists did Modric have in the 2017/18 season across all competitions to be crowned Winner of the Ballon D'or and FIFA The Best? And please, lol... stop misinforming yourself and by extension, others. You don't even know the League Nwakali, Omeruo & Sadiq play in. It is NOT Segunda B. It is La Liga 2 AKA La Liga Smartbank. Segunda B used to be the Third (3rd) tier of Spanish football before the current leagues hierarchy so ofcos Segunda B was "Lowly". I speak of the Spanish 2nd tier which is one of the most competitive 2nd tier leagues in the world and definitely the most technically proficient. Also, I posted his stat ratings. One you never bothered to check all the while you were castigating the young man. Also, you haven't watched Nwakali of recent so your takes on him is always gonna be laced with ill-information. Just answer the above questions. because it is tied to something you and some others here shouting Goals and assists everywhere DON'T know about most genuine Midfield controllers. Let me give you a hint. They don't always boast good goals and assists numbers. I will explain after you have answered the questions. 2 Likes 1 Share

@TheSuperNerd. Please, do you think Chidera Ejuke if used in the attacking midfield role can function efficiently & effectively for the Super Eagles Judging by the way the team build up slowly from the back & with constant high balls into the opponents half. Because to me, he's a player who would rather hold on to the ball & look for one or two or three players to dribble rather than pick out a free & open team mates on time for transition into the opponents half. |

TheSuperNerd: You might have a good point here o because I just viewed Xavi and Modric 2010 and 2018 stats and it doesn’t seem very impressive enough to win b’allon d’or Modric 2018 World Cup stats 2 goals and 1 assist in 7 games Xavi 2010 World Cup stats 0 goals and 0 assist Okay, as a Central midfielder, you might not score/assist bountifully, but, your overall control of the tempo of the game can have a huge impact on your team result 9 Likes 3 Shares |

12large1: Yes. It even gets more important when under a press. Eguavoen highlighted it in that philosophy video. When in press, the forwards take wide positions and you need a midfielder who can think fast with the ability to pick long diagonal passes to exploit those spaces. This will give the forwards room to take on defenses. 4 Likes 1 Share |

12large1: Also, passing decisions is very key when building from the back. You need a midfielder that will dictate play with passing decisions. You can not just throw a player because he is doing well in his league into there. Also remember this is a guy that trained for years with Amunike, so he understands some of the the things Eguavoen will want. Kelechi Nwakali was a good call. I wonder why people are so negative about the coach making a right choice. FLY SUPER EAGLES FLY. 3 Likes 1 Share |

12large1: Now I can say, Happy New Year Sir 12large1. I love that you went on your own to check things and not just take my words for it. That right there is what football analysis and verification of info is about. Well done. I hope Humility33 sees this and understand because you have already saved me the stress of making the simple point I wanted to make later on humility return to my post. I will use your own words and add a little to it... "....as a Central midfielder (Midfield conductor/Central Playmaker), you might not score/assist bountifully, but, your over control of the tempo of the game can have a huge impact on your team result" In one of the videos I shared with Mkrest, Nwakali vs Sporting Gijon in La Liga 2 dated December 10, 2021. Huesca were down to 10 men and were losing by a goal. It was around the 80th min or so, A corner by Gijon was turned over and Nwakali picked up the ball and swiftly turned. On his turn, he immediately spotted a teammate (Joaquin Munoz) racing down the right wing and you know what happens next... Kelechi sent the pass. Perfectly weighted into his path. Munoz went on and provided a cross assist for Jaime Seoane who nodded it in for the Equaliser. Game over. Game finished a tie at 1-1. That right there is called a Pre-assist in Football. This is part of where the Deeplying central Midfield playmakers/conductors come into play. They are the ones who majorly set the wheels in motion for build up plays or for an attacking phase. They usually will have far more pre-assists and what we call, "Pass before the final pass & Pass before the pass before the pass & Pass that begins that build-up leading to a goal or chance". Stats sites don't normally record these things but research will show that indeed these breed of MFs excel in these functions of the middle game dynamics. So this is why Goals and Assists... Direct Goals Involvements is not really their strengths. They are primarily THE BUILDING BLOCKS of what leads to these. But that is not to say, they cannot have the numbers. Nwakali in his last game for Huesca created about 3 beautiful chances for his teammates, imagine if one or two of them had converted. We would be talking 2 assists for the lad. And trust me, Huesca is not a clinical side. This explains why chances go begging even when they are created. Thanks again Sir 12Large1. The bulk of this post is actually for the Royal one, Oga Humility33 himself. But I trust all can see and hopefully learn a thing or two. We move. 6 Likes 1 Share
