Super Eagles Defender Troost-Ekong Selected In Team Of The Week In Belgium ![]() Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong has been rewarded with a team of the week selection following his fine performance for Gent in their 2-0 win over Zulte-Waregem. Troost-Ekong was selected by respected Belgian sports site Voetbakrants.com as one of the best eleven players in the league after the conclusion of the last round of games, which was in the Belgium play-off. ![]() As reported by Owngoalnigeria.com, the Nigerian was a late inclusion in the starting line up for the game, after a player pulled up injured during the warm up few minutes to the start of the game. Despite his late inclusion, the 23 year old settled into the game nicely and was very pivotal in the clean sheet kept by his team, as he kept feared marksman Mbaye Leye quiet for the entire duration of the game. Ekong has been sparingly used since returning from an 18 months loan spell with FK Haugesund in Norway in January. His latest performance however suggest he still has a future at the club he joined two years ago. He is expected to resume his “Oyibo Wall” partnership with Leon Balogun when the Super Eagles play their first competitive game of the year against South Africa in June in the AFCON 2019 Qualifiers. **Daniel Martins Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/04/29/super-eagles-defender-troost-ekong-selected-in-team-of-the-week-in-belgium/ 2 Likes |

I once told one of my brothers who is a top analyst that the possibility of Dortmund deal might work only if Auba is to move to City or even a bigger side like madrid. Hoffenheim, Dortmund... whatever.... I just know some decent clubs with excellent coaches will be willing to accept Nacho.... so it is time.... #LetMyNachoGo Chief Icon4s... that one line of yours few pages back is what summarises all I have been crying out since the beginning of this wahala.... Pep does not rate and does not have plans for Iheanacho. And ever since the story of that reps deal flew about Nacho failing to sign with Pere Guardiola (Pep's brother) which could be true or just there as 100% details are missing in such story.... I knew it just got more more hellish and dangerous for nacho. Anyway.... nacho must leave. Summer looms large upon us... #LetMyNachoGo Icon4s: |

This young lad stands at 1.98metres.... #HolyTall .......................................................................................................... Official : Gent Loan Out Nigerian Wonderkid Hailed As The Next Wilfred Ndidi To FKH ![]() Through their official website, Norwegian Tippeligaen outfit FK Haugesund have announced the signing of highly-rated Nigerian youngster Anthony Ikedi on loan from Belgian club KAA Gent. Allnigeriasoccer.com understands the 18-year-old Ikedi joined Gent on a three-year deal and had been issued a Belgian work permit before he was farmed out on loan to FKH for the remainder of the 2017 season. Gent beat several clubs in Europe to the signature of the giant defensive midfielder, who has been likened to Leicester City's Nigerian star Wilfred Ndidi. The Golden Boot Soccer Academy product has prodigious passing ability, can strike the balls from distance and is very physical. Both Gent and FK Haugesund did their homework well before signing the precocious talent as he was extensively scouted back in Nigeria. Ikedi joins ex-Golden Boot Soccer Academy teammates Ibrahim Shuaibu and Anthony Izuchukwu at FKH. **Ifeanyi Emmanuel Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=22881 1 Like |

The Nigeria international suffered an injury while playing for his Chinese club Tianjin Teda two weeks ago, and has been out since, before going under the knife and will now go into rehab as he starts his recuperation and journey back to fitness. The 30-year old posted a picture of himself on a hospital bed after the surgery with the caption: “Surgery went well, rehab next... can't wait to be back️ ![]() ![]() Following his injury and surgery, he will now miss out of the Super Eagles’ planned training camp in the French island of Corsica next month, where they will play a friendly against a Corsica XI, and a possible clash with Burkina Faso. The training camp is geared towards preparing the Eagles for their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa in June.

Rohr picks two new NPFL stars to join Super Eagles Two new faces from the Nigeria Professional Football League will be given invitation to the Super Eagles ahead of the France camping of the Nigeria national football team latest reports indicate. According to AOIfootball.com, the NPFL players, whose names will be released officially by the Super Eagles team secretary next week are Alhassan Ibrahim popularly called ‘Muazam’ of Akwa United who has scored 10 goals with 6 assists in the Nigeria premier league this season.... and.... The second player on the list is Sikiru Olatunbosun of MFM FC who scored a goal that won the CNN goal of the week earlier in this season. Sikiru is now being called the nick name ‘CNN’ for that exploits by his teammates at MFM FC. The duo are to join Ikechukwu Ezenwa who is already part of the Super Eagles set up. Interestingly, Stephen Odey who is the NPFL top scorer and was seen as a first choice among the home boys has been overlooked at least for the France camping exercise. It is understood that Odey has his traveling passport trapped in one of the European countries' embassy. The proposed training camp in France for the Super Eagles will open from the 23rd of May, it has been revealed. The three-time Africa champions will have a training camp in the European country in preparation for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa, and will play a friendly against Corsica, a tiny island in France. Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr had earlier confirmed the camp in France and that there will be an international friendly against Corsica.

Icon4s: Which hand writing on the wall do I not understand? The fact that I have repeatedly said I put into context Guardiola not wanting Iheanacho baffles me. Get it, it was always in context when I said Nacho might sit on the bench a season or two. That was why this debate started in the first place. TheSuperNerd this is also to you because you have said it over and over again that I do not get Iheanacho might not be in Guardiola's plans. That is why the debate started. I put it in context and I am more interested in the training sessions and the lifestyle. You guys. Na wa. |

I was just telling you to heed Chief Icon4s words on you and pep not being on same page as regards nacho. But everyone knows I have always been crying out that Nacho is not rated by Pep or considered in his plans for the long run... and I always made such declarations in the past without reference to you. It is only today I use it thru Chief Icon4s' line stated earlier a few pages back to point out something to you. Simple. So biko... don't get it twisted. TheGoodJoe: |

Icon4s: So to you, this season and next season is Iheanacho's prime. I said this is his formative years. Before his prime and you are talking watching Iheanacho after his prime. This season and next season is not Iheanacho's prime. There are things he must learn at this time before chasing the headlines in his prime. |

TheSuperNerd: Which page is Pep and I not on? Let me say it again. I DO NOT CARE MUCH ABOUT THE IHEANACHO NOT BEING IN PEP'S PLANS. I said that ages ago. So what am I to heed to? I am after the fitness which comes from the intensity training. I am after the healthy lifestyle. I am after learning the pressing system. From day one when I heard Guardiola was coming, I was happy he will learn the great culture. |

Sir GoodJoe.... With Auba likely making the move to City and Nacho likely to be involved in the deal that may see him go to Dortmund. What do you think? Good move or bad in your books? Tuchel is an excellent coach. You can see his works with Christian pulisic of USA who featured at same Fifa u-17 WC that had Osimhen and K.Nwakali. Ofcos the possibilities of Nacho's destination being another team like Hoffenheim and a few others still exist too.... And I get your points about his development ish... but again... the Playtime/Training time combo model is still one I recommend.... But again Sir GoodJoe... you have already said that Nacho can leave for game time in the summer naa... all these ones you are discussing now with others to just to show the importance of training over 90mins gametime. The behind-the-scenes aspect of soccer is not lost on me... I value it very highly but I also value gamtime coz it also serves as a good catalyst to enhance and help a youngster quickly apply what he is learning.... So I get you okay... biko... these talks are becoming too lengthy... E don do biko... I am pleading. Thanks ![]() TheGoodJoe: |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 6:15pm On Apr 29, 2017 |
TheSuperNerd: This is not the first time you are saying it. Before you say do not get it twisted. I have avoided quoting you hoping my clarified point is gotten through my replies to Sir Icon4s. Unfortunately, you made the statement again. If Chidi Nwakali was training with the Manchester City team and not getting game time, I will want him there a season or two to absorb the system. Hence he is not training with the team, I want him out of the club. That is why Guardiola rejecting to sell Chidi to Brendan Rodgers annoyed me. Brendan Rodgers plays a similar system and I want Nwakali learning it first. Same goes to Onyekuru. So I do not want that misconception. It is about learning the system and not fitting into the game plan. That is another reason why sending Denayer and Angelino on loan annoyed me. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 6:20pm On Apr 29, 2017 |
TheSuperNerd: I do not know how true it is but Tuchel is an amazing coach, a brilliant tactical mind, plays at a very high intensity and believes in grooming young talents. If Nacho goes, I feel it will be a nice move. The Germans are good at grooming youngsters, just as Werner you pointed the last time. Tuchel's style of play creates lots of chances, so Nacho there will have the chance to hit a high goal to game ratio. Let us see what happens. My time table was a season or two. If Nacho leaves now, it is okay with me. I hope he keeps the lesson close to his heart and keep practicing it. |

Okay.... It is not about about Making Pep's team anymore. It is just about his development for now. Well.... I get you but I hope you understand this is why other forumites will keep jumping on you coz they read meanings into what you say as " Kelechi, just stay and learn for one more season... don't bother about game time... just learn okay..." But hey! I get you alright... This is what Nacho has been exposed to since this season began.... the fitness which comes from the intensity training, the healthy lifestyle, the pressing system, and all the great culture that Pep's system imbibes..... And this is why I always made the statement... "let him focus and make the best of the non-playing situation with the remainder of the season as he has always done and then by summer he seeks gametime...... This is a discussion with so many angles and most are closely related and very sensitive... this is why most points get entangled and misunderstanding crops up.... But I get you okay... ![]() Conclusion: The timetable you drew of a season or two is already met... Nacho has spent a season learning under pep despite not being on most matchday squads... so he can leave now... good. End of discussion.... Yara Yara.. plss get me a bottle of chilled water abeg....

Humility017: The opportunity to play can always come if a player is not getting playing time by moving to another club. However, the formative years to groom a player comes early in the career. That is why training regularly at such intensity at a young age is important. |
