I can't wait till we get out of this contract, Nike treats some high school teams better than Nigeria and we are not even making money of this so it's a basic high school contract we give u sets of jerseys, warm ups and nothing else. |

WOLVES KNOW TODAY HOW LONG NIGERIA GOALKEEPER IKEME WILL BE OUT  Carl Ikeme English Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers will know today the extent of a hip injury suffered by Nigeria goalkeeper Carl Ikeme at the weekend. Ikeme was forced out in the second half of a 1-1 draw at Blackburn Rovers on Saturday. This is not a good omen for Nigeria ahead of next month’s World Cup qualifier against Algeria as Ikeme is the Super Eagles No.1 choice in goal. Wolves interim coach Rob Edwards said he is yet to ascertain the extent of the injury. “Carl was struggling around his hip area which I think came after he stretched to make a save,” said the coach. “He was having it iced at half time and I don’t know the extent of the problem. “Hopefully, he won’t be out for too long because he is very important for us.” Source: http://africanfootball.com//news/660039/Wolves-know-today-how-long-Nigeria-goalkeeper-Ikeme-will-be-out 1 Like |

Nigeria U23 Ace Junior Ajayi Opens Account For The Red Devils  Junior Ajayi grabbed his first goal in an Al Ahly shirt as the African powerhouse settled for a point in a thrilling 2-2 draw with Al-Ittihad Alexandria Club in the Egyptian Premier League on Sunday. Before the fixture at Petrosport Stadium (Kattameya), the Nigeria U23 international had played three games against Wadi Degla, Aswan and Petrojet without finding the back of the net. With the visitors trailing 2-1, Ajayi restored parity in the 69th minute when he volleyed home from inside the box after he was fed by a teammate. The 21-year-old accumulated 188 minutes of playing time before opening his account for the Red Devils. Junior Ajayi committed his future to Al Ahly in the summer by appending his signature to a four-year contract. Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=20914 2 Likes |

ANTONIO CONTE HAILS MOSES' DEFENSIVE STRENGTH NIGERIANS ABROAD The Chelsea boss spent part of his press Antonio Conte has lauded Victor Moses’ defensive potency after Chelsea’s 2-0 English Premier League win over Southampton on Sunday. The Blues moved into top four in the table with their seventh win of the season, which came courtesy strikes from Eden Hazard and Diego Costa. The Stamford Bridge giants have now kept four consecutive clean sheets in the English topflight, with Moses thriving in his defensive role following the Italian tactician’s 3-4-3 formation in recent games. Follow Chelsea FC ✔@ChelseaFC “This role is very important in this system. You must have good stamina and quality to play as wing-backs,” Conte said in a post-match conference. “I ask my wing-backs to do offensive and defensive work. Moses is a great surprise in this aspect. “We know Moses as a winger, but he’s playing in a fantastic way. Also Alonso, it wasn’t easy to go in to the English league and play in this way, and I’m pleased. “In this role, Pedro also can play, in the same way as Moses. Ivanovic or Aina can play a more defensive role as wing-back" Source: http://m.goal.com/s/en-ng/news/4110/nigerians-abroad/2016/10/31/29016272/antonio-conte-hails-moses-defensive-strength 2 Likes |

Group to Invest U.S.$1.5 Billion in Nigerian League A UK-based sports Promo/marketing company, Arabella 21st Century is to invest a staggering $ 1.5b in the Nigerian league. Minister of youth and sports, Barrister Solomon Dalung, who disclosed this when he received the CEO/President of the company, Otunba Femmy Carrena, explained that the investors want to manage the Nigerian league for the next twenty years. According to Dalung, during this period, the Nigerian counterparts are expected to invest 30% of the $1.5b. "They want to bring in about $1.5b into Nigerian football but there is a caveat to it. They are not going to tamper with the constitution, statutes or football article. It is the same thing they did in China and Japan. The league board will operate with the NFF and the Ministry will be involved. They want to set up a Football Development Company that will be quoted on the stock exchange and same will apply to all the football clubs in Nigeria." Carrena also hinted that like any other investor, they will like to make money. "They want to come to Nigeria and manage our league for the next twenty years. After a meeting with the ministry and other stakeholders, they'll set up the company but their Nigerian counterparts are expected to invest 30% of the $1.5b. They're ready to put their own money into the stock exchange but they'll have the controlling share". Carrena stated that after this process, there will be a football conference in the country to let the various clubs know what to expect. They will give them subvention, put the various stadia to use but it will not be a government appointed board. The CEO said that it will be a board that will be appointed by the people who buy into the clubs. "They will restructure the league, get the television rights but not before a conference which will explain to everyone how it will work. They will be coming with technical experts from the premiership who will be operating in the development company that they will set up which include representatives of the ministry, the LMC and the NFF. Carrena said that the National teams will also benefit in terms of training and subventions while talks are already in progress with the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

ROHR SEEKS DEFENSIVE SOLUTIONS WITH LATEST SUPER EAGLES CALL-UPS The German has professed worry over the Nigeria defence, and his team list for Algeria in Uyo shows a willingness to address it COMMENT By Solace Chukwu October’s win over Zambia was broadly a game of two halves. In the first, Nigeria dominated possession and slowly impressed upon proceedings, scoring twice to decide the result. The second saw the pendulum swing in favour of the hosts, and the Super Eagles defence bended ominously, albeit without breaking irreparably. It was clear then what area of the team Gernot Rohr needed to have a look at, and his team list for the November 12 engagement with Algeria features two interesting new call-ups: Tyronne Ebuehi and John Ogu . [img]http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/Goal_Nigeria/dd/10/gernot-rohr-and-salisu-yusuf-of-nigeria_rw0gd6lcotbg1eqw4rmw97two.jpg?t=-1624518121[/img] Ogu has of course been excellent at the back of the midfield over the last twelve months with Israeli champions Hapoel Be’er Sheva, and has more than earned his place. It is sad, however, that it appears to have come at the expense of Gent midfielder Anderson Esiti, who misses out. A consideration of Ogu's strengths and Algeria’s weakness reveals there is method to the decision. Les Fennecs' lack of vertical compactness cost them severely against Cameroon, as their unfamiliarity with Milovan Rajevac’s approach saw them adopt an uneven pressing structure. The Serb’s resignation only makes things worse, as new manager Georges Leekens have even less time to get his ideas across.  Ogu’s passing range is therefore perfect for exploiting the gaps between the lines that will invariably appear. His ability to move the ball on quickly and cleanly through spaces contrasts with Ogenyi Onazi’s more considered approach, and is an interesting option to have. He also boasts greater positional discipline than the Trabzonspor man, which will be crucial against Algeria's legion of attacking midfield talent.  Ebuehi’s inclusion on the other hand is with a view to solving a long-term positional problem at right-back. The 20-year-old ADO Den Haag defender is likely a beneficiary of Moses Odubajo’s unfortunate injury relapse, but represents another important move in the regeneration of the national team. Were he to start at right-back, the Super Eagles could realistically line up a starting 11 with five players aged 23 and under. It would be a huge leap of faith to throw the youngster straight into the mix against the might of Algeria though-he does have barely over 20 senior club appearances under his belt, after all. However, it seems a bit of a toss-up who will get the nod in Uyo: Musa Mohammed has again been called up in spite of a lack of playing time at club level, which is puzzling, while Rohr does not seem sold on the idea of the versatile Shehu Abdullahi reprising the role he excelled in at the Olympics in the summer. [img]http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/Goal_Nigeria/d/9d/musa-muhammed_1e9ff5is7s28518dmj4ixfvmnt.jpg?t=-1682115354[/img] As expected, Odion Ighalo and Victor Moses make a return, having been unavailable in Ndola for contrasting reasons. However, it cannot have escaped their notice (and Rohr’s) that the team’s attacking play was markedly more cohesive without them, and so they come back into the fold with a point to prove. Moses has at least blossomed since his last outing against Tanzania, in which his anarchic, wasteful display made heavy work of an ambitionless Taifa Stars. He seems primed to take Moses Simon’s place on the right. Ighalo, on the other hand, has struggled to hit last season’s heights, and has found the back of the net only once for Watford this season. Indeed, he lost his place briefly to now-injured compatriot Success Isaac, and seems stuck in a bit of a rut.  Perhaps the implicit vote of confidence will do him some good. However, it would be a brave call to leave out Brown Ideye who, while seemingly lacking the Watford man’s sheer quality, simply makes this team play better. This, as well as who starts at right-back, are the two tough decisions for Rohr to make. So far, the German has sought to stay away from the internal politics of the squad, but he faces his biggest call to date as Super Eagles manager. However, it is heartening to see him move decisively to address perceived weaknesses - in a World Cup qualifying group as difficult as Nigeria’s, the margins are incredibly fine, and a willingness to try new things may prove the difference.

Why is no one talking about Ahmed Musa? I know that we have good players like V.Moses and M.Simon who can also play in his position but his apace dribbles, ability to cut inside the box and so on can be very useful against the Algerians. He is a fearless/intrepid player that can score and perform well even against the toughest and impenetrable defense in the world. He is a player that gets going even when it is getting tough. The sturdy Argentine defense conceded two fantabulous goals from him in the erstwhile world cup, we saw how it was almost unfeasible for other teams/players to score against Argentina in that world cup. And also, his recent laudable club form depicts that he deserves to start or feature as a second half substitute. 2 Likes |
