SUPER EAGLES TEAMMATE CONFESSES –
WATCHING IWOBI & IHEANACHO PLAY IS LIKE
ART IN MOTION





The near perfect combination of Kelechi
Iheanacho and Alex Iwobi in the colours of the
Super Eagles is winning them lot of admirers,
including their national teammates.


Iwobi and Iheanacho got both goals for Nigeria in their 2-1 away win over Zambia in the 2018
World Cup qualifiers, a game which they combined to devastating effect bar the goals they scored.


According to the top scorer in the Nigeria
Professional Football League Godwin Obaje, who was in camp with the duo. Their relationship is even more off the pitch but their combination on the pitch is magical.


” They are always together. Like twins off the
pitch, and watching them play on the pitch is like art in motion. Their movement off the ball is
crazy. They know where to locate each other” He told Owngoalnigeria.com.


” I learnt a lot from them about how to thread
passes and movement off the ball. Am lucky to
have trained with stars of their kind”.

You know people will take your stats seriously when you start being sincere. Comparison to Busquets is a lame attempt to discredit him as Onazi Played as a Box-Box Midfielder that day. Is Kante a DM or B2B midfielder? if you can answer that then we can have a discussion.

TheGoodJoe:


I think Rohr left Iwobi and Iheanacho on the field because they will play under tough conditions like what they met at Ndola in many games. They were exhausted but I think he wanted them to get used to working under the hot sun and bad pitch.

The Algerians are considerably worried about these two guys and rightly so.
Buildings little partnerships in different areas of the pitch is the best way to build a solid team.

I read Alex Iwobi's interview. The young man seems to be having a time of his life for both Club and country. He is not regretting one bit choosing Nigeria over England.

I hope Tammy Abraham, Chuba, Odubanjo and Ovie reconsider their position and choose Ngr. I rate these 4guys above Some of the wishy-washy players like Dominic Solanke and ola Aina.

tbaba1234:


Ola Aina has been in the first team of Chelsea this season. I do not think that is wishy washy...

goldfish80:

If he was that good, he would have displaced Ivanovic just like Belerin displaced Debuchy.

daveP:
If the only positive thing Pinnick can do is get those player to switch to the National team and on numbers, I'll say he's done a good job in his tenure.
It's advisable one in a top position evaluate him/ herself and try to do one thing that would over cloud past and dirty mistakes when finishing!!
Latest: England is now the Academy for the Super Eagles!!!

KevinDein:
the emboldened, you've just won the Internet man of the day

daveP:
Lol


@ Safarigirl, just get across to Mumuni Alao of Complete Sports Newspaper. He writes articles in it and drops his mail etc

Your Mikel Crush is legendary...


I wish this helps

safarigirl:
i hardly have a crush on Mikel. I just respect and admire him a lot, is he not a respectable fellow?

I'm not familiar with Complete Sports or oga Mumuni like that, won't it be weird to contact him?

Tganks for your suggestion though, it's appreciated and noted

BascoVanVeli:


I feel it's about time, that is what we have been missing becos that's where the game is at. Players like Auba and Mahrez could have played for France. Mostly the French speaking countries have been taking advantage of this, most players on the Algerian national team played a certain level of football in French youth setup. U get very skilled players over there but I think the English game with it's pace suits our style and just like Iwobi I don't think it will be hard to get these players to adapt. The problem will be if we start promising them playing time cuz they have to bust their butts and earn it.

daveP:
Hmmm


nah atall. you'd just ask him after telling him what you think of his latest article, then you chip in your request. He's a good fellow first, then a legendary sportalist.

as for Mikel, I go just dey look you.


Oga Mumini has replied some of the mails I send to him. Show your own analytical side and he may be able to help you.


others I know will attend definitely are


Godwin Enakhena of Ltd sports


Bolaji Yusuf

Solace Chukwu


esp Godwin

TheSuperNerd:
Loooolllll.... Was that on purpose?

Called him "HYPE" instead of "HYBE".....

Anyway, like Sir BascoVanVeli says, "na to provide quality bench material naa....."

Mickael2:


Onazi played as a what?! Then what was Mikel doing?! This is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard, my God! So Kante is a box to box midfielder to you?! Why then do people compare him to Makelele? My Christ! I cant believe someone just said this

IyanuFanoro:

if we play our 4-2-3-1 den
iwobi will b subbed for musa(wen d coach sees he is getin tired)

TheGoodJoe:


Unless you have not watched Chelsea's game lately, you will know Kante plays as a box-to-box midfielder under Conte.

Does it well I must say but leaves so much gap behind him.

Mickael2:


the more i read this the more ridiculous it sounds. Onazi played as a a b2b? I will give you the benefit of the doubt though, maybe you watched the match after Esiti came in and Onazi moved into that position, so let me not finish what I wanted to say

Mickael2:

princesuko:


It seems you are new to the world of Comparison Pogba was compared to Viera even though their playing style differs. Kante Plays as a B2B midfielder just like Matuidi both of them are Like for Like midfielders. That is why he has more interceptions than the Like of stationary DMs in the mould of Busquets and wielg.

If you rewatch the match you will see that Onazi was roaming forward from His Half to the Opponents Half. Which is what a B2B does.

HERS'S KANTE PERFORMING AS A B2B

The work Kante does in the middle of the pitch isn't quite as eye-catching, but when he does open up the throttle it's thrilling to watch. Here, again against Swansea, he picks the ball up in his own half and sees space to run into.

He has the pace and power to run through the middle of three players, the ball never out of control, and suddenly his team have overloaded Swansea on the counter-attack.

He reaches the Swansea box and offloads to Vardy, who turns and sets up Mahrez for his hat-trick.

Ranieri said shortly after joining Leciester that he realised he had inherited a group of quality players. "This player Kante, he was running so hard that I thought he must have a pack full of batteries hidden in his shorts," he said.

"He never stopped running in training. I tell him, 'One day, I’m going to see you cross the ball, and then finish the cross with a header yourself". He’s unbelievable."

This surge of energy to set up Leicester's third goal against Swansea came in the 68th minute of the game.

Kante also spends quite a lot of time out on the wing, helping to protect full-backs or after he noticing there's space out wide to be exploited.

Against Manchester City Kante drifted out into the wide area to help assist Mahrez's goal:
