Mujtahida:

See Kante fa? Fabregas complained one time. Even Eric Contona has a video on YouTube where he complained about this. Is it that the 10's slow down the game or what is the reason for them being shoved out? No wonder music is gone out of football. Maestro means the grand conductor of the orchestra and so were the great 10's- pure musicians hitting the right chords with their footwork and mobile poetry. Once Messi(the last glimmer of light on the football skies) hangs boot that might be the end of an era. Do you like watching old football? I do oo.

tbaba1234:


From historical records, we know these guys could be way off the mark. Especially, ANS and owngoalnigeria.com.

Rohr was the first person to invite Kayode. And he has invited him twice more.

Mujtahida:

That unit of unknown is called instincts. It cannot be measured. Not everything in life yields to the drabness of scientific measurement and empirical evidence. Too much emphasis on what can be measured in modern day football is what is gradually turning this beautiful artistic game into a cold thing full of numbers, statistics and measurements.

Humility017:


I heard...the hotel base at uyo is very large and as such with some other factors it makes it difficult to monitor the players and some of the players endeavors inimical to good football...like partying etc
so the need for abuja camping where they will flew directly to uyo...

goldfish80:

Those invites haven't been coming on a platter of gold. Kayode have had to work twice as hard as anyone to get any form of attention.



Speaking to LIB, he said:
'For a long time now, I have not been invited to the National Team, maybe due to politics'
"But I know very soon, Coach Rohr would look in my direction because my position remains vacant.
I'm ready to score for Nigeria, I am ready to score for Rohr but all can come through only if I am invited.
Some people said I play in a far league, some said I play in the cold, some said I play in Austria and Austria is not English premier league , but I will tell you, football in La-Liga is the same in Austria.
I played in the Europa league last season, so what experience do i need again, I have represented Nigeria at youth levels and my mates like Onazi , and Omeruo are the ones playing currently for now.''

Mujtahida:

The painful truth is that some players no matter how good they perform will simply by the nature of things not feature for the Eagles. I might love such a player to my teeth, desire such a player, to be part of our team, clamour for him, display his stats, raise dust if he's not invited but still he will not just be invited or even if he's invited he'd be nothing but a fringe player. I feel for such players but it happens. Oruma's star was eclipsed by the mercurial quality of Jay Jay. Sometimes it's just badluck. Shikena.

But we should relax. It's not like Rohr gathered a bunch of efulefu players like them Dada (Michael Uchebo,) Reuben Gabriel, Oduamadi and left out the pick of the pack. Like you said we are heading in the right direction and indeed we are.

TheGoodJoe:


Funny. Obodo and Rabiu are not fit enough to polish Jay-Jay's boot. Oruma pass them wella. Simple, great players are hard to replace. Spain producing another Xavi will take time.

England producing another Scholes might take another fifty years.

maidaboi:
ok
enjoy yourself in portugal ok

TheGoodJoe:


What of Eric Cantona? His talent was there for all to see. Yet Aime Jacquet preferred to carry some boys learning how to strap boots (Henry And Trezeguet) and Guivarch who spent the whole tournament looking for the goal post. At the end Jacquet was right. The young players did well and Guivarch's work rate up front helped the team win.

It is not about all to see but the best the coach believes fits the team. You are not in training or as knowledgeable as Rohr to know who deserves a call. Rohr is in the best position.

goldfish80:

He rates him highly from what he saw at a one week camp last year? A lot have happened since last year my friend.

komekn:


That might be your confession and your personal value such that you create an Idol of a coach that has only just come to the SE.

I do not look-up to him or make an assumption that can only come from low self esteem. That he Rohr is all knowing where the SE is concerned. If a white guy said that to me I would consider it a racist jibe. Coming from you I'm lost for complementary words to respond.

What does the old age of Methusela have to do with the wisdom of Solomon.

I do not think he KNOWS MORE THAN ME AT ALL.

Older yes more knowledgeable in what context because he is white European experience is not synonymous with wisdom.

Maybe in your idea that coaches are small demi gods that have exclusive knowledge that nobody else has.

Get something clear, the coaches rule their universes because they have the blueprint and strategies for the team.

So if a coach believes a particular player fits his team, it is his World.

Keep in mind I pointed out that in minutes, Amunike noticed Osimhen was special. Siasia shared the same sentiments and invited him to the U23 Olympics camp not long after the U17 exploits. Scouts and agents from top clubs also wanted his signature. If I am correct, Stellar group that handles Gareth Bale signed him to their agency.

Wolfsburg managers believe he is special. So I wonder why Rohr believing the young man is special is a problem.

Or, are you a Babylonian?

By the way Trezeguet and Henry were already killing it at Monaco already as established and proven top forward players. They were not learning to strap boots. Cantona has always been a head strong trouble maker nobody was suprised when he left out.

TheGoodJoe:


A lot will happen how? Football is not like that. From Iheanacho's U17 till now, he is still the poster boy. A coach sighting him as a promising talent will not be mislead believing he is still good today.

I started watching Thiago Alcantara at 15. He is still an asset today.

Rohr identifying Osimhen as a special talent most ago will not change in few months. Na wa.

O ye Babylonian, calm down.

AIG07:
Sir, I beg to disagree.

The main reason we no longer have such players again is not as a result of lack of young talents to fill in their shoes but modern day football system does not give room for players to develop into that anymore. It's now all about Pass Pass Pass and Score.

Disclaimer: I am No Babylonian!

goldfish80:


Alot have indeed happened since last year. The world didn't stand still and wait for Osimhen to kick start his professional career.
Lots of Nigerians home and abroad have been up and doing in their footballing careers.
People have won Mvp in their respective leagues. Some have emerged top scorers in their base.

Opabunmi used to be the poster boy for the 2001 U17s what later happened? Emmanuel Sanni used to be the Mvp, top scorer and poster boy for the 09 U17s, what later happened?
Being poster boy for a youth team doesn't mean anything.

Sinama Pogolle and SOULEYMANE nko? What have they gained since they were the poster boys of their countries at the fifa U17s?
for your info, SOULEYMANE was highly rated in 2011 just like Osimhen, if not higher. How have being poster boy guaranteed his success in the sport?

If you spend time reading Rohr's comments you will know he rates Osimhen highly. Also Awaziem. There is this saying that only the Manager knows how good a player is for him Unfortunately, you chose to toil in your own view when you did not even see barb wire of the camp.

Rohr stated that he did not invite Awaziem and Osimhen to later camps because he did not want them going through repeated rejections.

That alone is enough for a Babylonian to know the coach rates Osimhen highly and will not flinch. Yet, you want to show us you know more than the German tactician.

What a gwan O ye Babylonian?

komekn:


I do not know that saying, and I am happy to say I never will.

komekn:


You score goals you no score that's not measurement but Reality of the game. Statistics do no lie.

So we should measure how many times you miss and how much the coach likes you.

irrational rhetoric no substance.

TheGoodJoe:


I repeat, Sinama had a terrible injury. Souleyman, I did not hear of top clubs fighting for him like Osimhen. Remember, Osimhen turned down Arsenal.

Special talents do not easily get swept away by time. Ask Mikel.

goldfish80:

Hahaha... Souleymane Coulibaly was heavily courted by Man Utd, Arsenal and Real Madrid before Tottenham pulled a minor miracle to sign him up.
You think a kid who equalled a tournament record of 9 goals in just 4 games wasn't considered something "special"?

TheGoodJoe:


When we are talking Identified as a special talent, we are not talking of tournament honors alone. I said within minutes, Amunike identified Osimhen as special. Such Identity is not tournament goal scorer. Comprende?

TheGoodJoe:


Please read carefully before typing anyhow. I said, identifying special talents is not by tournament highest goal scorer alone.

zicky:
Opabunmi was even taken to the world cup ahead of more established players because according to some pelsons the guy gat potentials and no one should question the coach decision.

chrisooblog:


exactly! the yekinis, okochas, kanus of before did they just drop and become mainstays in the national team overnight?
