🇳🇬 Manchester United are one of the clubs interested in Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman. #MUFC [@sachatavolieri]

TheGoodJoe:


All those do not equate to transforming a teams playing philosophy in less than a month. Same with Tuchel who used two training sessions to achieve.

The fact is that with the right coach, in two international windows, we can at least play a good possession game and with nice fluidity.

typicalgamer:



Sorry to have quoted you I thought you were different from the rest

Seems you’re more delusional than them


Physio are not important

Proper diet and nutritional needs are nor important

Proper training facilities are not important

A coach would suddenly make all the players play well and in turn very healthy to execute the coach plan on the field

Bro you’re worse than them I’m sorry to say this

TheGoodJoe:


If you try to understand the philosophy, you will not make such statement.

Possession football results in right positioning, defending as a unit, and cutting down the amount of time the opposition can attack. This reducing conceding silly goals.

Finito.

Goke7:


You have been told we don't have the personnel for it except you want to manufacture the players yourself which cannot happen in a national team setting like Nigeria. By the time we are done trying even Nations Cup, we won't qualify

Napoleon55:

If u r 100% sure,why not rush to bet9ja and stake your life savings on Nigeria to qualify and make yourself some cool money

Napoleon55:

The inclusion of Taminu in that defense line up automatically disrupted our defense system which affected players like Bassy and no so good Ajayi,
it does not matter whether he struggled to impress or not.

mostob:
Read that post again.

Napoleon55:
I didn't finish reading before rushing to post like Komekn

TheGoodJoe:


I have told you with more deligent scouting, we can find the right personnel. It is not by folding arms and expecting Real Madrid and Manchester City to build personnel for us.

We have to take scouting seriously and also develop the right template to fit them.

Onyedika is a good example how the right personnel can be overlooked and it will seem they don't exist.

Finito.

#Opponent watch

1' South Africa 1 Zimbabwe 0

2' South Africa 1 Zimbabwe 1

Odunayaw:
Then you throw stones at Finidi and not mock Tanimu

Why logic con hard like this

Goke7:


By the time we are done scouting, we would have missed out on several editions of nations cup and world cup. See I understand your drift but you know in today's National football setting in sub-Saharan Africa it's not possible and I think that's where some of us are coming from. The logistics of having European-based players reporting to camp in Africa for national duty doesn't suit your approach. The days Westerhof can camp players in his hotel in Holland for several days are over. You can't even have your players in camp for up to a week to any National competition or any match even friendly sef.

TheGoodJoe:


That is why the coach has to start with the basics. Use what you have at your disposal and select the best that can keep the ball naturally.

Train them to keep the ball.

Select the best goalkeeper amongst the ones you have that is good with his feet and can equally save.

Include players that their teams share a similar philosophy.

Then build from there. The program will run from window to window.

Performance will improve and with time good results will come.

Far better than working with negative ideas that keep us stagnant for years.

Goke7:


we cannot be training so-called European professionals on how to keep the ball na, it means we don't even have the players and that's where the problem lies in this philosophy that we have mentioned before, the materials are lacking.

Amedino99:
Dem no allow south Africa supporters sit down sef. I shock when I see Zimbabwe equalize and na 2 mins for Twitter.

Joebie:
It’s a discipline issue. Even at their clubs they could do the same but lose their position etc. we need to run this SE like serious business and with high degree of professionalism. Inviting players that have no business in the team is in itself another distraction.

Napoleon55:

I'm not mocking Tanimu nor anyone, is Finidi that I'm blaming for his questionable call ups

Goke7:

TheGoodJoe:


Guardiola will kill it. That one is not even a topic. That national team will play breathtaking football.

Joebie:
None of the teams in our group is not susceptible to slipping at some point down the road. We just need a 100% record for our remaining matches and we will have a chance. We have the players at least, but can we pull it off?

Napoleon55:

It depends which country.

In Africa, it's possible with few countries like Nigeria, Senegal,CIV,Egypt. vs other African countries.

In Europe and South America,
Spain,France,Holland, Italy,Germany ,Brazil and Argentina.

Even with Pep,England is not likely to dominate the rest of the world

TheGoodJoe:


Manchester City had Pro players and Guardiola trained them on how to keep the ball. Chelsea had pro players and Tuchel thought them how to keep the ball.

In Guardiola's first training session with Manchester City players, he thought them how to pass the ball.

When Guardiola signed Douglas Costa to Bayern Munich, the first thing he told him on the training pitch is that, are you ready to learn how to play football.

Pure possessive football is footballing education.

Goke7:


that's club football you're talking about, no national team coach in Africa except if he has more home-based players has that time to fine-tune any possession football. He can only expect his players to be professional in their approach. I heard Udeze saying in those days Amodu would tell him in match briefing by drawing a straight line on the board for him and tell him he should know what to do. in your own word, Finito!

TheGoodJoe:


If Pep Guardiola holds England, they will dominate wholly. I have pointed England as a funny case, where their best players train under high grade coaches and get coached by Garrett Southgate who will never cut it in the EPL. That is the problem. With a coach like Pep, they will fly.

TheGoodJoe:


After calling me delusional, are you saying Finidi or Eguavoen or Rohr etc did not have dietician and physio. Please.

Napoleon55:

England have been flying since.

what I really meant is ,dominate by winning world cup like Spain and France did,is not just winning some matches.

I know why I excluded England.
