Mali Vs Morocco just kicked off

Let us all laugh at South Africa

Mujtahida:

Weren't that theatrics?

whatever thing that was, sent shiver through my spine while watching. But the preceding tackle to that horrendous scene was no joke at all.

Your Ronaldo example even supports my position. Ronaldo can play as an 11. Seen him cut in from there to score.. Seen him make crosses also during match time.

Ndidi started out and excelled as a CB. Was converted to an LB at first at Genk before he was moved to DM.. And this has increased his value..

Victor Moses probably will be on loan today if not that he showed that he could be an al round player. Conte did not just experiment but he saw it Moses. Today that decision has not only made him indispensable player at Chelsea, but has made him a better player for SE. Something many of us fail to realize is that regular game time and the overload of roles Moses has at Chelsea has made playing as a winger a piece of cake -- reason for his ever flowing energy.

As regards changing player positions, club coaches make those decisions for several reasons, some of which are:

1. The player deminstrating dynamism in the field of play.

2. The competition they face from their teammates for a specific position or several positions

3. The several positions thier teammates can play.

4. The ineffective of a certain player who had a dedicated role.

5. The dynamism in modern football as seen during match time, players hardly play one role these days.



Applying this to the case of Mikel, Mou may have seen his other strengths. At that point in time it could be he faced stiff competition in the AM role, or it could be other midfielders could not adapt to the makalele role like Mikel could, leaving Mou to that option, else Mikel would have been forced to sit it out in bench until he had his chance to outwit his contenders at the AM. Or who knows may have sought greener pastures at another club. Mou may have helped his career after all. We can never tell what could have happened. Mikel is what he is today because of his versatility. And we can use that to our advantage sometimes.

Modified
Consider Balogun's darting runs yesterday against Cameroon. Situations like that will make u realize there is more to a player than a specific position. Believe I had seen that potential in Moses long before he was converted to a full back.

Mujtahida:

Some players have that dynamism, some don't. Doesn't mean players don't have their strong playing positions. And it doesn't mean that they are worse for it. Why you no go play Ronaldo as a left winger?

I understand that modern football requires that dynamism but it should be done when the players are young. And that's the advantage European players coming out of academies have. Our players learn their stuff themselves and then when they've been wired to play one way, they go abroad and the coaches begin to improvise on them. Most plants can grow and thrive when transplanted when they are still tender but most will wither and die if done when they are a bit grown. That some survive is no basis for applauding such late transplantation.

femianski:
this one that yeye teams are going to represent Africa at world Cup hope they won't embarrass Africa there

There is no more yeye Team in Africa Dude. Any Team that makes it to the Mundial deserves it. The first Experience of Senegal at the Mundial was a Success.

Pls don't underestimate any Team in the Continent at the Moment. CPV beat SA Home and Away with the same Scoreline..... I think they've proven they ain't a yeye Team.

Ivory coast nor won gree o, lol.
The noise from the crowd is also defeaning. It's wave after wave of attack.

Ghana and Egypt should not have been in same group

femianski:

Nigerdeltaboi:
what of the Germany friendly I was hearing last year ?

no development on that. Though it was earlier slated for Nov. But I doubt it feasibility. Don't forget we'll be playing our last WCQ match in November here in africa and FIFA rules debars a team from playing two matches on diff continents in that span of time.
