FIFA BAN: TP Mazembe Converts Nigerian Goalkeeper To Striker

The top official of the DR Congo champions, TP Mazembe Lamine N'diaye, has opened up on the reason Nigerian goalkeeper Suleiman Shuaibu was turned into a striker for the club, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

It was revealed a few days ago that Shuaibu a second-choice goalkeeper for the former African champions will now be playing as an outfield player.


Mazembe is presently serving a FIFA ban and they were unable to sign new players following the departure of Fily Traore.


"He wants to help the team during this difficult period we are going through".

"In training, he scores goals. It takes time to adapt, but he will be able to do good things.”

Shaibu came on in the 65th minute to replace John Bakata during TP Mazembe’s game against Don Bosco on Friday.

Nigerians are so good

They can Excel anywhere

Ask Mikel

How he was transformed from a start number 10 to a
Defensive midfielder

Most goal keepers are good in striking.

Necessity is the mother of invention!

I wish him all the best..

Onana Junior

I am just imagining Onana as a midfielder, he would trouble the opponent with his killer dribbling and passes

What led to the ban?

God Bless Nigeria...we the best

Senior man, he can deliver
Well hope so..

Lol

Make e no mistakenly go dey catch ball, forgetting he is no longer a goalkeeper 😂😂😂😂😂

You have to do what you have to do

Joseph Yobo was once a strike before being converted to a defender.

That’s flexibility in reality.

When the desirable isn’t available, the available becomes the desirable.

AuntieGO:
I heard that a female administrative staff messed up the transfer paperwork that led to the ban.


We women need to do better to support our men and not destroy what they have built.

Uncle Gender dysphoria.😂😂😂

During match make dem dey remind am say na Striker him be now Ooo. Before dem pass am ball make he go mistakenly dive catch am.

they must have spotted the qualities in him before picking that role for him, maybe he has been exhibiting good striking skills and prowess in training. good luck to him

And he might turn out to be one of the best in that league o

Another lacazette in the making... cool

Reminds me of our goalie in high school.
Dude was always cursing strikers for missing opportunities. To punish him and teach him a lesson our coach fielded him as a striker in a march and instructed we the wingers not to cross, dude scored 3 goals in 40 minutes....

Ha

We are super talented as a nation

Cool

That's Shaibu Suleiman, popularly known as PAPA. We're from same hometown in Kogi State. Aside staying between the goal post, he's a great midfielder and a striker. We played together in Abuja in July and I can tell u that this guy is beyond just been a goal keeper.
A welcome development to the Team
Note: That's him in the middle with my kid brothers two months ago
