joseph1013: I am not twisting the narrative. I wonder where you got that from. I have always advocated for younger players. I clamored for Aluko because he brings something different in the game today. He also won't be considered Old by our next tourneys. If we had a younger player who could bring what Aluko brings, I will wholeheartedly clamor for him. |

CAF Presidential Election: Pinnick Can Vote For Any Candidate - NFF [img]https://1.bp..com/-Goa9j-bX-xU/WLFQrsyM39I/AAAAAAAADJo/v1PKbFL9SXwSJvBP02f3vHcr13oT5qXmgCLcB/s1600/Amaju-Pinnick.jpg[/img] By Augustine Akhilomen President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick has received serious backing from the Chairman of the Media and Publicity Committee of the board, Hon. Suleiman Yahaya-Kwande, with regards to the forthcoming election into the presidency of the Confederation of African Football. The former Delta State Sports administrators had earlier in the week called for a change of power in the CAF seat, thereby urging the current CAF president, Issa Hayatou to step down in a bid to allow for other fresh candidate to handle the affairs of the Africa. In a statement credited to Yahaya-Kwande in thenff.com, he pointed out that the NFF are in support of Pinnick’s choice of casting his vote for any of the two CAF Presidential candidates. “The issue of which of the two candidates the NFF should support came up during our last Board meeting in Abuja, on Tuesday 7th February 2017. Every single member of Board spoke on the issue and expressed support for the NFF President, Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick, to use his discretion and vote for that candidate who will best serve Nigeria’s interest during the election. This support was given based on the fact as the NFF President and a Member of the CAF Organizing Committee for the Africa Cup of Nations, he is fully in tune with the political play at that level and knows what would be best for Nigeria. “There was not a dissenting voice in the room that day. Everyone agreed that Mr. Pinnick should go ahead and cast his vote for the candidate he feels would support Nigerian Football to grow the way we want it. It is not correct for anyone to say the matter was not discussed.” “The Board spent good time discussing the CAF elections and the importance of Nigeria having someone on the CAF Executive Committee, considering the huge role that our nation has always been playing in peace –keeping and sundry noble programs on the continent. “There is no division in the NFF Board. We are giving full and unconditional support to Mr. Pinnick to stand for the elections and for him to cast his vote for that candidate whose presidency of CAF would serve the interest of our great nation.” The 39th Ordinary Congress of CAF, at which the elections would take place, comes up in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in exactly three weeks’ time.” www.soccernet.com.ng/2017/02/caf-presidential-election-pinnick-can.html |

Moses Targets 25th Appearance For Chelsea Against Swansea [img]https://4.bp..com/-B_yHKG-_PpM/WLFS071WvSI/AAAAAAAADJ8/S4EJDYGTAhsLgaSKiIjBJz4Hgrp2kMfRACLcB/s1600/Moses-3.jpg[/img] By Augustine Akhilomen Super Eagles winger, Victor Moses will be seeking to earn his 25th appearance for Chelsea as they welcome Swansea at Stamford Bridge in Saturday’s Premier League early kickoff. Having scored three goals in the Premier League this season, the former Wigan star, whose football career has changed under manager, Antonio Conte, will aim at putting Swansea to the slaughter slab. Saturday's fixture represents just the 33rd time in which these two teams are facing each other in a competitive fixture, with Chelsea recording a win on 14 occasions in comparison to seven victories for Swansea. Thirteen of those matches have come since Swansea earned promotion to the Premier League in 2011 and while Chelsea have won almost half of those meetings, they have gone three contests without success. www.soccernet.com.ng/2017/02/moses-targets-25th-appearance-for.html |

Reports: Ranieri Sacked For Playing Ahmed Musa Ahead Of Demarai Gray Against Sevilla According to various reports monitored by Owngoalnigeria.com online editor, manager of Leicester City Claudio Ranieri was fired by the club for playing Ahmed Musa ahead of Demarai Gray in their UEFA champions League game on Tuesday. The decision to sack Ranieri came as a surprise to many but club sources revealed he was fired after the game against Sevilla, due to his team selection for the UEFA Champions League round of 16 clash. The story which has gone viral in various news outlet in the United Kingdom, has it that Ranieri decision to hand Musa a start ahead of Gray didn’t go down well with the decision makers at the club, particularly after Musa’s poor performance which lead to his substitution. Gray who took the place of the Nigerian, put in a better shift than the big money buy from Russian side CSKA Moscow. He added spark to the attack which lead to the away goal which they scored in the 1-2 loss. owngoalnigeria.com/2017/02/24/reports-ranieri-sacked-for-playing-ahmed-musa-ahead-of-demarai-gray-against-sevilla/ |

Full Story – How Leicester City Players Told Owners To Fire Ranieri For Playing Musa Against Sevilla Claudio Ranieri’s decision to start Ahmed Musa instead of the in-form Demarai Gray in Seville on Wednesday bemused senior Leicester City players, who raised their concerns about the manager in a meeting with Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, the club’s owner, in the Spanish city yesterday morning. The distance between Ranieri and his squad had been growing all season, partly due to a frustration in the below-par quality of some of his signings since the club won the Premier League title, such as Musa, tweaks to life at the club, with chicken burgers taken off the menu, and also his constant tinkering with the team. Some of his substitutions were strange, especially those against Millwall in the FA Cup on Saturday when Ranieri removed Gray, sending on Jamie Vardy, which made sense, but leaving on Musa, who was struggling. Ranieri also sent on a full back against Swansea City. But it was Ranieri’s decision to play Musa in the vital Champions League round-of-16 first leg on Wednesday, leaving Gray on the bench, that really tested the players’ patience. It occupied their thoughts beforehand when they should have been focusing on the game. Gray is highly regarded in the Leicester dressing room, has done well in training, has given impetus when arriving off the bench, while Musa has looked bereft of confidence. A £16 million signing from CSKA Moscow, Musa looked all right in pre-season but has laboured since. He was particularly poor on Wednesday, partly culpable for Seville’s first goal by failing to track back with Sergio Escudero and lacking influence in possession. Gray’s arrival energised Leicester, and Ranieri was applauded on the night for making the switch in the second half, but in the cold light of day yesterday, the Italian’s decision to start Musa was mentioned again. The Thai owners had stayed loyal to Ranieri, releasing a statement a fortnight ago backing him, but faced with signs of dressing-room dissent, they acted. Dilly ding, dilly gone. * Henry Winter (The Times). owngoalnigeria.com/2017/02/24/full-story-how-leicester-city-players-told-owners-to-fire-ranieri-for-playing-musa-against-sevilla/ |

Moses Simon, Esiti, Rabiu & Kalu To Battle Ndidi’s Former Club In Europa League Round Of 16 The draws for the round of 16 in the Europa League has been made and the Gent, home to four Nigerian players have been drawn against Genk. The game between Gent and Genk will be a local derby as both teams are based in Belgium, more importantly for Nigerians is the fact that as many as four Nigerians could take part in the clash. Anderson Esiti, Moses Simon and Samuel Kalu have all played for Gent in the Europa League this season, but Rabiu Ibrahim is yet to hit full fitness hence his lack of action in the tournament while William Troost-Ekong wasn’t registered by the club. Gent pulled through to the round of 16 after beating English side Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 on aggregate following a 2-2 draw at Wembley last night. Genk where former Super Eagles ace Wilfred Ndidi use to play before his transfer to Leicester City secured their spot in the round of 16 at the expense of Romanian side Astra Giurgiu following a 3-2 aggregate win. owngoalnigeria.com/2017/02/24/moses-simon-esiti-rabiu-kalu-to-battle-ndidis-former-club-in-europa-league-round-of-16/ |

Musa Yahaya Didn’t Surprise Me Against Man United, He Will Be A Star At Porto – Teammate Predicts Musa Yahaya fine performance for FC Porto B against Manchester United U23s didn’t come as a surprise to his fellow Nigerian and teammate Chidozie Awaziem. Yahaya put up a man of the match display which helped Porto dump the English side out of the international Premier League Cup, and also qualified his team for the semi-finals. While his performance took many by surprise, Awaziem says he is well aware of the abilities of the 19 year old, hence he wasn’t surprised that he was un- playable against Manchester United. ” Musa Yahaya will be a star at FC Porto, yesterday performance didn’t come to me as a surprise, as a matter of fact that is just half of what he can do”, Awaziem told Owngoalnigeria.com. ” In the coming days, weeks, possibly months the world will get to see more of him.

Ike Ugbo Scores, Ola Aina Disappoints As Arsenal Thrash Chelsea U23s In Premier League 2 Chelsea U23s suffered a heavy 1-4 loss to their Arsenal counterparts in a Premier League 2 game decided at the home of the Gunners. Arsenal fielded a strong team with first team players like Danny Welbeck, Carl Jenkinson, Rob Holding and goalkepper Emiliano Martinez all starting for the Gunners. Meanwhile Chelsea fielded two Nigerians in Ike Ugbo and defender Ola Aina, and the Anglo Nigerian duo endured mixed fortunes during the course of the game. Aina failed to inspire the Chelsea backline as they conceded two goals in each half while Ugbo, who is well known for his goal scoring abilities didn’t disappoint when he had the chance to reduce the deficit for his team. Ugbo poked home a rebound from a well hit drive from Musonda which Martinez spilled into the path of the 18 year old forward, who now has 12 goals for the U23s of Chelsea. owngoalnigeria.com/2017/02/24/ike-ugbo-scores-ola-aina-disappoints-as-arsenal-thrash-chelsea-u23s-in-premier-league-2/ |

Reports – Ex Man City & Inter Milan Boss Mancini Not Interested In Managing Musa, Ndidi & Co At Leicester City Former Leicester City player Roberto Mancini has reportedly turned down the chance to manage the Premier League champions according to various reports in England. Mancini was heavily tipped to replace sacked manager Claudio Ranieri but the Italian reportedly told the club he is not interested in the job. Even though he is without a club since leaving Inter-Milan last year, the former Manchester City coach is not keen on handling the club where Nigerian duo Wilfred Ndidi and Ahmed Musa ply their trade. The Premier League champions are presently one point above the drop zone, and lost the first leg of their round of 16 UEFA League clash against Sevilla 1-2 in Spain on Tuesday.

Wolfsburg Coach Gives Key Update On Victor Osimhen Injury Status The coach of German Bundesliga side Wolfsburg has provided an update on the condition of Nigerian teen forward Victor Osimhen, who is recovering from a minor surgery. 18 year old Osimhen was tipped to make his Bundesliga debut this year after reaching the professional age to play senior football as a foreigner, but injuries have so far denied him the chance to impress. Top scorer at the last U-17 World Youth Championship, he recently posted pictures of his return to training for Wolfsburg, but it appears his injury situation is still a concern. Ahead of their clash against Werder Bremen coach of the team, Valerien Ismael revealed that the forward was among three players who didn’t train ahead of the Friday night clash. ” Aside from Ashkan Dejagah, Ismail Azzaoui and Victor Osimhen ( He should be fit to join the squad next week) , the complete squad are in training”, the manager revealed at his pre match conference. owngoalnigeria.com/2017/02/24/wolfsburg-coach-gives-key-update-on-victor-osimhen-injury-status/ 1 Like |

Sunday Oliseh Extends Unbeaten Run As Coach Of Dutch Side Fortuna Sittard With Win Over Emmen Former Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh guided his Dutch team Fortuna Sittard to a 3-2 win over Emmen to extend their unbeaten run to five games. Oliseh’s team are yet to taste defeat in the month of February starting from the 2-2 away draw against Dordrecht, which was followed by a 5-2 win over Ajax II before another away draw with Cambuur. However they have picked up back to back wins in their last two games under Oliseh with victories over Utrecht II and the latest win over Emmen. The victory also moved them further away from the drop zone as they are now 16th on the second division table, with 30 points after 27 games. Since taking over the troubled second division side as coach of the team, they have only suffered one defeat under Oliseh, which was the 0-2 loss to Almere City in January. owngoalnigeria.com/2017/02/25/sunday-oliseh-extends-unbeaten-run-as-coach-of-dutch-side-fortuna-sittard-with-win-over-emmen/ 1 Like |
