Actually, what they (particularly the late Ernest Okonkwo) used to call him was "Dean of Defence". I didn't watch him play but my uncles had lots of great things to say about his game. They described him as the best refined Nigerian defender of his generation. Another player they rated very highly was Henry Nwosu. O pari kennysville: |

Weak links.... Ekong with his bad ball control,bad pass and panic. If put under intense pressure by a more technical team Ekong will make costly mistake. Victor Moses over carries the ball and dribble too much to the extent he will jeopardise the success of the team. Moses need to learn when to release the ball. He ruined what would have been a beautiful goal for Ighalo against Cameroon in Uyo. His dribbles need to be in check and he can be a little selfish. In fact,Victor Moses is not my favourite SUPER EAGLES player,he annoys me half of the time and now he didnt come to camp early....smh Simon Moses has improved a bit but his final ball needs to be worked on and his crosses must get better. I like his tacking back to help but he waste alot of ball....Again,just like VicMO he (Simon) likes to dribble and half of the time he loses the ball. Echiejile is a disaster waiting to happen...Dude is our weakest link. bad passes,shaky,out of position and what have you....When I see Echiejile I get depressed. Mikel Obi,though a smart player but he lost a lot of possession in our match at Uyo. Can also be a little slow but I will put that on his lack of match fitness. But Mikel must do better than against Cameroon. The only problem I have with Onazi is to not get a red card ,as long as Ndidi is there I have confidence in that midfield. 2 Likes |

My biggest joy going into this encounter with Zambia is IGHALO JUDE. I am confident we have found a real top 9 who can ruffle any defense, put them under pressure and even score a breathtaking goals. I remember before our match against Cameroon I described Ighalo as a skillful and tricky player and some guy cried blue murder. Now,everybody is ridding Ighalos back....Such is life. But Kelechi need to learn how a to 9 works. |

(Opponent Watch: Drills On Counter Attack Tops Zambia Training Session In Abuja October 5, 2017 The senior national team of Zambia had their first training session in Nigeria ahead of their clash against the Super Eagles of Nigeria in Uyo on Saturday. Zambia are expected to arrive Uyo later today, but had a one hour session in Abuja at the popular astro turf pitch to loosen up after arriving Abuja yesterday evening fron Ghana, where they had a training camp. It started with the players observing the traditional warm up session which lasted a little over twenty-five minutes, before doing drills on shooting with the players up against the three goalkeepers of the team. Coach Wedson Nyirenda later shared them into two teams for a training match, which had a lot to do with how they could play against Nigeria as the coach spent time on counter-attack drills. Nyirenda also spent time with his defenders on drills that has to do with defending as a unit, with details on tracking the runs of quick forwards very much a part of the drill. However the players were a bit uncomfortable with the nature of the playing surface of the astro turf , and as early as 40 minutes into the session that lasted a little over an hour they looked uncomfortable. They won’t have to bother much about playing on astro turf as Saturday’s game which will be played at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo will be on a pitch with natural grass. 1 Like |

Rohr Speaks On Coaching Zidane, Desire To Beat Germany At The World Cup In Russia October 5, 2017 Many followers of the Super Eagles of Nigeria are not aware of the coaching credentials of the present coach of the team Gernot Rohr, who has helped them to a win away from qualifying for the World Cup. Nigeria have moved from the team that failed to qualify for back to back Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) to a team that is on the verge of been the first Africa nation to qualify for the World Cup in Russia, if they can beat Zambia in Uyo. Rohr in a chat with newsmen in Uyo revealed his desire to be at the World Cup with Nigeria is even more than that of the players, as it will be the peak of his coaching career. Although he has had some very happy moment as a player and later as a coach, the highest which according to him is helping the likes of French super stars Bixente Lizarazu, Christopher Dugarry and Zinedine Zidane become football icons. He handled the trio during the formative years of their career at Bordeaux where he was the head coach, but according to him the joy of being associated with such top stars can’t be equated to what he will feel if he leads Nigeria to the World Cup. ” It’s very important for the coach, it’s a big challenge to go to the World Cup, of course we want to go there absolutely. I had a long career like a player and like a coach. I have a lot of beautiful things to celebrate “, Rohr said. ” Yes, I am happy I had the chance to coach players like Zidane, Dugarry and Lizarazu in Bordeaux we went to the final of the European Cup. So we had wonderful thing already but the most beautiful thing, and I will go there is to go to the World Cup, and then beat my home country Germany “. He concluded. Ade Emmanuel 4 Likes 1 Share |

chrisooblog: Essentially very few English clubs can teach you technical football. And if any it will.be in the top six of the EPL. The rest will struggle. Nonetheless, certain clubs have pedigree for instance Charlton, Peterborough and MK Dons have always played a good standard of technical football. In recent times things have changed dramatically particularly with the top 6 EPL teams. It's now about teaching technique. Showing skills and ball control even well before positional sense and structure. This is the trend until 12 years old. Remember the academy starts with age grade 5/6 sometimes younger. So for instance Everton produces very good teams because from the age of 5/6 they are playing structured football with specific positions. However individually they are not developing and lack technical ability. All the Nigerian and African players that I know, who were at Everton have all attested to this fact not been taught any skill. But back to Liverpool, Solanke is in the first team and his presence sent Origi out. Awoniyi is in a low level club he is not making waves. Lukaku was playing for Anderlecht at the age of 16 he had played 91 games and scored 41 goals at the age of 18. Not surprisingly Chelsea came and the rest is history. What I am saying is for Awoniyi to get in to Liverpool he has to be outstanding in the Belgium league. Which he simply is not. How many games has he played and how many goals it's not outstanding. That's why I say and I can tell you he is a forgotten man at Liverpool as well. |
