Brazil Confirm Man United Star, Chelsea Target for Flying Eagles.
Nigeria's major group opponents at the New Zealand 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup, Brazil, have named a very strong squad for the competition.
FIFA released the confirmed squads for all 24 participating teams on Thursday, with the tournament holding from 30 May to 20 June.
The big names in the Brazil squad include Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira and Kenedy, the Fluminese forward who has been strongly linked with English Premier League champions Chelsea.
Comple tesportsnigeria.com reports that Pereira was on Tuesday named United's Young Player of the Year after playing a key role in their U-21s winning the U-21 Premier League title. He also got involved in the senior team, making a few cameos after signing a new contract and earning Louis van Gaal's trust.
Kenedy has been impressive for Fluminense this season and has been tipped to be the next big thing out of Brazil.
The squad also includes Real Madrid forward Jean Carlos and Marseille midfielder Alef. Seventeen of the squad play in Brazil, for the likes of traditional big sides Santos, Flamengo and Cruzeiro.
Along with Brazil, the Flying Eagles will also face Hungary and Korea in Group E.
Nigeria face Brazil, who they have never beaten at U-20 level, on 1 June at 1am Nigerian time.

These foreign teams have a way of disrespecting us. Since Simon has won the league for Gent, why cant they release him to join the Flying Eagles in New Zealand? Do they need to let him play a needless match on Sunday?

[b][size=14pt]Moses Simon makes history with Belgian champions Gent[/size]

Moses Simon has won a first-ever Belgian league championship with Gent after they defeated Standard Liege 2-0 with the Flying Eagles forward causing a penalty which led to the second goal.

It is Simon’s first winners’ medal in Europe as Thursday’s victory meant Gent have recorded an unassailable lead at the top of the playoffs table in Belgium.

They have 49 points, five points ahead of closest rivals Club Brugge, with the last game of the playoffs slated for Sunday.

They have been runners-up in the Belgian league twice, in the 1954/55 and 2009/10 seasons.

U20 World Cup-bound Simon was upended inside the box in the 50th minute and Renato Neto put away the resulting penalty to double Gent’s lead.

Nineteen-year-old Simon, who played as a twin striker, was replaced in the 74th minute.

‘Daddy’ scored seven goals in 17 appearances for the newly crowned Belgian champions.

He joined Gent in January from Slovak club Trencin. [/b]

[b][size=14pt]Manu tips Awoniyi, Iheanacho, Sokari to shine[/size]

Taiwo Awoniyi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Kingsley Sokari and Moses Simon are the players Flying Eagles coach Manu Garba has picked to shine at the FIFA U20 World Cup, which begins next week.
Awoniyi’s goals crowned the Flying Eagles African champions in March, Iheanacho is firing again after injury, while Enyimba midfielder Sokari has broken into the first team and Moses Simon proved his worth by clinching the Belgian league championship with Gent.
“Right from the qualifiers, Taiwo Awoniyi has been very consistent and he has improved match after match. He is a player who gets into a scoring position better than any other player,” said Manu in an interview.
“I believe if he stayed calm, he will be one player who will do very, very well at the World Cup.
“There are some others like Kelechi Iheanacho, who was the best player at the last U17 World Cup. If he was free of injury, he will hit very big as well.
“There is also Kingsley Sokari. If he listened very well and works very hard too, he will have a great World Cup.
“You cannot forget a player like Moses Simon, who has been fantastic in Belgium, he will be great.”
Manu is upbeat about the quality running through the Flying Eagles that he predicted the team to produce both the best player and top scorer at the U20 World Cup in New Zealand.
“I believe the best player and highest scorer (of the World Cup) will come from my team,” he tipped.[/b]

Please, is Gent going to qualify directly into the Champions'league as the Champions of Belgium or will they play Playoffs?

You're not the only one that posts news here apart from Joseph, linked and Daninya11 do as well, even TheGoodJoe and tbaba, but they don't post things we've already read.

I know you're new, hence my advise that you read through before you post....leecodeman may think it's okay, but when we open this page, we do so hoping to read new stuff and it's annoying when we see stuff that is stale.

Dunno bout the others, but personally, I want to open this thread to new news and what you're doing could count as breaking a rule sef...(don't post things that have been posted previously)...abeg source for other things, but first familiarize yourself with previous posts so you know what we want

LeeCodeman:
