safarigirl:
very good...I sha hope you're not pulling my legs

safarigirl:
are you minding that nigga? Imagine, that Success will bench my Awoniyi, for where? How? Except Awo baby gets a red/is in danger of getting a red or he's flat out injured, Success will have to keep coming off the bench throughout the tournament

Nig vs Bra. June1, 2am. My starting line up:
4-3-3:
...............Enaholo
Mohammed..Omego..Ndidi..Mustafa
.............Idowu.............Ifeanyi
...................Sokari
...Bulbwa....................Yahaya
.................Awoniyi


Subs:
Depending of how the game is progressing, considering d like for like option:
Iheanacho for Bulbwa,
Moses for Yahaya
Success for Awoniyi
If the game is nt progressing in our favour:
Iheanacho for Sokari
Success for Awoniyi
Moses for Ifeanyi, so Yahaya joins Awoniyi/Success as a second center forward and Moses plays d Left Wing Forward.
Or Bulbwa off Success in and joins Awoniyi as CF while Moses comes in for either Idowu or Ifeanyi & moves to d right wing.
So many tactical options, infact this team is too much

P0intBlank:


Do these names sound familiar: Pablo Zabaleta, Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero, Ezequiel Garay, Lucas Bigilia, Fernando Gago.

These are players who won the 2005 FIFA U-20 world

Mate, I don't see any wrong in this write up. In fact, it is a good article. I totally agree with him but for me, I think the NFF having official academies in the 6 political zones is the solution to this.

Establish academies in Lagos, Enugu, Rivers, Kwara, Kebbi and Kaduna and have very good youth coaches in Europe head this academies and ensure there is a law in place that forbids these players to leave the country until they are of a certain age.

Get young lads of 8-12 years in, tutor them right from a tender age and then ensure there is a proper transitional program. Aside that, our youth coaches should be sent on regular refresher courses and be made to learn from the head of the academies as well. For instance, Garba will finish his term with the flying Eagles after the world cup, he has another 1 year before another competition to play ( qualifiers), send him to Barca or Ajax or Aston villa or Southampton to learn from their youth coaches. Let him be there for 6-8 months. Do this with other coaches as well and with the experience gained, they will be able to impact our youth team.

This will have a lot of positive effect on the national teams and our football as a whole. First, the more quality players we produce, the more attractive our football is to would be sponsors and the more money we will have in the long run to catch up with others.

The academy produce can be sold to big clubs too. AT A CERTAIN AGE. Just make sure the players are trained regularly and not forced to play in league matches. Train, train and train. If they must practice what they have learnt, that they can do via friendly matches. Exposing young players to too much competition instead of proper training is what's killing England right now.

Lol weda we come from bench or from chair, nah 4goals we get for that tourney

A good test match for Ghana. Nigeria should forget all those German U23 clubs and face some real tests too. Nothing wrong in playing 1 or 2 European/Asia/South American U20 sides.

safarigirl:
no lele. As long as Awoniyi gets top scorer ....

[b][size=14pt]Flying Eagles coach worries over his defence[/size]



Flying Eagles coach Manu Garba has admitted the defence remains his major worry going into the U20 World Cup, while at the same time saying his attack will be the most lethal in New Zealand.

“We still need to work on our defence. This is where we need to work on before the World Cup kicks off,” Manu admitted.

“The mental speed of the players (has to be better) – they do recover in good time, but they often fail to do the marking when it matters most, to close up on the opposition.

“But I believe before the World Cup, the defence will be a lot tighter because we will surely work on those areas. This is the major weakness of this team.”

However, the Flying Eagles have an embarrassment of talent to choose from in attack with the likes of Taiwo Awoniyi, Isaac Success, Kelechi Iheanacho on top form and scoring goals for Manu to say his strike force will be the deadliest at the World Cup

“The midfield is the main strength of this team, but with the inclusion of Isaac Success, Kelechi Iheanacho and Moses Simon, the attack will be very, very deadly. It will be difficult to get an attack that will be as deadly as that of Nigeria,” he warned.

The African champions are drawn against Brazil, North Korea and Hungary in the first round of the competition, which kicks off on May 30 in New Zealand. [/b]

How do u mean by a good test match? Ghana lost to Portugal doesn't mean they had a good test match . Even if we play against any of the highly rated team and we come out victorious with wide margin u will still want another match . These guys are good ,they played the last match with d dropped players .

safarigirl:
thank you. Please, how many test matches did they play enroute the U17 world Cup? The fact that a team plays well against quality opponents pre-tournament doesn't mean they'll replicate the performance when it counts.

Let us remember how Super Eagles took the game to Italy in their pre-World Cup friendly, what happened when it mattered?

These things are just test matches so the boys can achieve cohesiveness and learn to understand each other on the field, it desn't really count for much in reality
