African players simply have less opportunities than Brazilians... Not many top European teams will stick their neck out for a top talented African youngster. Even the transfer fees they pay are undervalued. Brazilians have a better league and as such produce more quality. By the time, many players leave for Europe, they are no longer youngsters.They can not improve anymore. If a player like JJ was European or south American, he would have played for the best clubs and refined his talent. He had raw talent. Just like Brazil has had success stories, there has also been expensive flops. 1 Like |

GENT STAR MOSES SIMON REVEALS WHAT IMPRESSES HIM THE MOST ABOUT IWOBI Gent of Belgium ace Moses Simon has revealed the one quality he admires the most in Arsenal 20 year old forward Alex Iwobi, who is his international teammate in the Nigeria national team set up. Simon who played alongside Iwobi in the attack of the Super Eagles of Nigeria in their 2-1 win over Zambia over the weekend, in the World Cup 2018 qualifiers with Iwobi scoring one of the goals. Aside his goal in the game, Simon reveals he admires a lot of qualities in the nephew of former Super Eagles captain Austin Okocha, particularly his conduct off the pitch. ”He is a guy you want to spend the day with, such a lively guy, full of jokes, humble and down to earth. Hard to believe he is same guy who plays for a club as big as Arsenal” Simon told Owngoalnigeria.com. ”On the pitch he is a fun guy as well, always willing to help his teammate and above all, he is so unpredictable, no defender will have fun playing against him. He is fearless and knows when to do the right thing”. Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/10/12/gent-star-moses-simon-reveals-what-impresses-him-the-most-about-iwobi/ 3 Likes |

WE PLAY WITHOUT FEAR NOW, SUPER EAGLES STARS SPEAK ON ROHR’S MAN MANAGEMENT SKILLS Three players of the Super Eagles of Nigeria have in separate chats confirmed to Owngoalnigeria.com that, Gernot Rohr has made a positive impact on their mentality when it comes to games. One of the players said unlike past coaches of the team, the German coach gives them lot of confidence when it comes to games, and usually advised them to enjoy themselves on the pitch. ”He talks to every player. He doesn’t discriminate, to him every player is the same but the last two coaches of the team were not like that” He told Owngoalnigeria.com. Another player said, he doesn’t give too much instructions on the pitch, which has allowed the players the freedom to express themselves properly during games. ”One of our former coach, doesn’t stop talking from the start of the game till the end he is talking. It confuses us a lot but Rohr is not like that, he give us the freedom to play our game bar little corrections”. Funny and strict when he has to, was the sentence one of the players we talked to use in describing the German handler. ”You can’t have a friendly chat with him without laughing, he is very funny but strict when it comes to passing on team instructions”.

SUPER EAGLES COACH ROHR UNCOMFORTABLE WITH SUPER EAGLES WASTEFULNESS WHEN IT COMES TO SCORING FROM……. The head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria has identified one key area he wants his team to make proper use of when it comes to goal scoring. Since Rohr took over the Super Eagles they have scored three goals from open play with Manchester City Kelechi Iheanacho and Arsenal Alex Iwobi the players to have found the back of the net for Nigeria under Rohr. Nigeria will next play Algeria in the World Cup 2018 qualifiers, where they are presently on top of group B after their 2-1 away success over Zambia in Ndola. Ahead of the game, Rohr is eager to see his team score goals from set pieces due to the amount of freekicks and corner kicks they usually get in games. Before the game against Zambia, they had drills on scoring from free kicks and corner kicks, but during the game proper they failed to convert the chances that came their way from set pieces into goals. ”We have to work on scoring from set pieces, we usually have lots of corner kicks and free kicks in games. We have the players who could be threat in those situations but we are yet to make proper use of them. It’s a problem we hope to solve soon” He told Owngoalnigeria.com.

Mesut Ozil insists Arsenal starlet Alex Iwobi is a 'mixture of Jay-Jay Okocha and Edgar Davids' As well as comparing Iwobi to his uncle Okocha and Davids, Ozil also insists that the Nigerian 20-year-old is strong in all departments of his game. He reminds me of his uncle, Jay-Jay Okocha,' Ozil told Arsenal Player. 'He was a player I loved watching. Alex reminds me of a mixture of him and Edgar Davids. 'He's really strong on the ball, also defensively, but he's good in front of goal too. 'He knows exactly what he can do. He isn't scared and doesn't hide on the pitch. He just wants to have fun playing football and that really shows on the pitch, and also in training. Iwobi has been an integral part of Arsenal's in form attacking line-up so far this season 'He's developing really well and if he continues the way he's been playing the whole season, he will really enhance his game. 'The manager knows exactly how good he is and I wish him all the best. He is really young and is on a really good path.'

@TheGoodJoe Brazil has a system that works-Nigeria does not have one yet. Football is their way of Life.#Facts. But since 2013, Nigeria has produced more talented young players than they've done. You made mention that they are on the rise once again(citing their olympic gold achievement)... Okay!!! so we are. But don't forget Brazil's past achievement paved way for them. They still struggled on their way to olympic glory despite all the stars they got. Imagine what could have happened if our own young stars(M. Mohammed, Iwobi, success, Nacho,s. moses etc...) were released by their clubs for d games just has d brazillians got theirs. Maybe t could have been Neymar's turn to cry.(E STILL DE PAIN ME SAY D WORLD COULDN'T SEE ONE OF THE BEST ASSEMBLED YOUNG TEAM play @ the olympics) |

AIG07: @bolded is just our problem. If we had players like Andrea Pirol or Maldini, dem no go smell our national team. Why? We want fresh leg. Na wa ooo! What matters most is players current form and not age. I can suggest Nurudeen Orelesi and Chima Okoroji as options at the LB but not against Algeria. Maybe in a friendly first. |

TheGoodJoe: The closest Marseille got to another trophy was when they reached the UEFA Cup Final in 2004 impressively beating Dnipro, Internazionale, Liverpool, and Newcastle United along the way. But they were beaten in the final by newly crowned Spanish champions Valencia and once again fans were forced to continue waiting for the next trophy to come along. In 2005, Marseille succeeded in winning the Intertoto Cup, beating the likes of Lazio and Deportivo de La Coruña in doing so, and earning another shot at the UEFA Cup. Bros, Marseille was not a weak team as at 2004/2005 as you can see. Taye Taiwo was bought immediately after that finals to replace Lizarazu. Besides, Samuel Okunowo went straight from Shooting Stars fc to play for Barcelona first team. But you are right about Brazilian youngsters. |

**yawns** I know exactly what I meant.... I'm a little busy this morning so don't wanna talk much. And these were my exact words..... " I have never agreed that Brazil commands more quality talents than Nigeria . Not even in today's era." So if you refer to Pele's and Jairzinho's or even leonidas' (who was before Pele) time, when our football neva get head.... Sorry bro... You missed it. I refer to more recent times like the 2000s..... And today's era refer to now and going forward.... So believe what you wanna believe. It doesn't change what I had in mind and what I "fully" meant. Even in Zico's time, when our players neva dey too much for europe, Naija boasts top and possibly better talents just waiting for opportunity. So I still dey await una top 15 U-21 Brazillian top stars compared to ours.... (THAT'S THE CENTRAL ISSUE).... Coz from 2013 till now.... I ask this, "what is Brazil?" forgiveness: |

People have been making suggestions like: starting Onazi at LB or RB, starting V. Moses at the left wing so as to provide xover for Echiejile Some1 has also said we should start Esiti ahead of Onazi. All these are attempts to unsettle the balance and stability in that team. We forget the first line of defense is the midfield. If u unsettle the midfield bc of LB u have destabilized the whole team. More like cutting off the head to deal with a running nose. Let Echiejile remain at LB and Onazi partner with Mikel at the midfield. If the midfielders prevent the balls from getting to Mahrez and Slimani their threats would be minimized. Moses needs to do more to support the RB also Iwobi needs to support the LB. Iwobi's defensive capabilities and physicality especially as seen at Arsenal has improved. The strenght of this team lies in our midfield and attack. Let us not destabilize it bc we want to replace Echiejile. |
