Very good detailed report. But what really happened to him? Did he have a serious injury or something? That reminds me of another promising right back (at the time) -- Jero Shakpoke. Please tell us about him. TheGoodJoe: 1 Like |

soetanoreoluwa:Mikel has seen it all. From Youth championship to UEFA to the WC to the Olympics. A young veteran. He will be calm, he will. Experience is good. They say that is Musa's work now ooo. Toh, if that would keep morale high then so be it since his footballing contributions has dwindled. Every team needs a comedian. Even the Pyschologist would tell Rohr : leave that Aboki in the team, he's good for the spirit of the team. 3 Likes |

Mujtahida:It's an obvious attribute. Conte must have seen it. I expect Moses to have improve on his decision makings. His final balls(passes) are often blocked by defenders. Look at our 1st game under Rohr, we created over 20 chances with Moses contributing the larger share. But we only manage to score against Tazania. You know why? Poor delivery! |

AIG07: Only one funny thing is that the player that scored against us he's not part of this team... Mbesuma.. Kalaba is out but they have someone called computer... Very skilful... And patson ..with fashionable SakalA..great guys |

My preferred Starting Eleven against Zambia. Mikel and Ndidi are to stay compact and deep to keep the defence protected and cover gaps. Mikel will have the license to create for the forwards with delightful passes and has a big responsibility of dictating tempo of the game with his passes. Ndidi must remain deep all times to cover gaps. Onazi and Echiejile dropped because I do not want to take risks with the gaps they create. The Center midfield role in this set-up requires lots of discipline and I do not trust Onazi with that. 3 Likes

So what we have here is the Zambians studying our tapes. We are also studying theirs. Are you saying the are no deficiencies we can exploit in the Zambian's? I'm sure just as Rohr pulled Moses Simon away and gave him special instructions before the Cameroon match because of the lapses he saw with him against SA, Rohr has also studied our weaknesses. He will correct them accordingly. They have tapes. We have tapes. They have deficiencies. We have deficiencies. They have team psychologists. I believe we do. I still don't understand why the fear. The fact remains, we are determined to seal this up. We have the players to deliver. We will have our strategies. They will have theirs. On paper, we are still the better team. So why the fears?

TheGoodJoe:This looks like a lot of the ball winning will have to be done by Ndidi. I don't think that's a good idea, with the way Leicester have used the guy over the last couple of weeks (I think he played league and carabao cup). According to whoscored, he's the most dribbled player in the epl. 2 Likes |

bataderemi: Dribbled due to Leicester opting to seat back and James being the Dmf. So most of the creative players go through him before James. Most teams in the EPL play with much more bravery than Leicester City, so the Leicester players are under more pressure. If you look at his overall contribution to the team, it is high for a team under pressure. 1 Like |

This guys are brimming with confidence. Well he was saying he won't give his approach but if you read between the lines you'd see his game plan "soak the pressure" and "hit them on the counter". I see him play a 5-4-1 formation Opposition Watch Coach of Chipolopolo of Zambia, Wedson Nyirenda is bullish that his team will revenge the 2-1 home loss to Nigeria’s Super Eagles in Ndola last year and go all the way to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia on the final day of the African qualifying Group B.. In this interview with Completesportsnigeria.com‘s RICHARD JIDEAKA in Abuja, Nyirenda explains reasons the Super Eagles Eagles won in Ndola, how the Chipolopolo have improved since then, and why he is upbeat that they will win in Uyo. Excerps… CS: How ready is your team that will face the Super Eagles of Nigeria in a World Cup qualifier on Saturday in Uyo? NYIRENDA: We are very ready to inflict pains on Nigerians by beating your Super Eagles in Uyo and put ourselves in good position to qualify for the World Cup. If your team could beat us in our home, nothing stops us from doing so to you on Saturday in Uyo.. You sounds bullish in this your revenge mission. What gives you the courage that your team have what it takes to beat the Super Eagles in Uyo? I am not bullish, but confident that my boys will play to form and get the three points at stake. We have a very improved squad different from the team that lost to Nigeria in the first meeting. We are ready to put our youth advantage to use and beat your Eagles Are you going to sit back and absorb pressure from the Super Eagles and catch them on counter attack with your young, energetic and fast players? I am not going to tell you how we would play because that will be disclosing my game plan. When we get to the pitch, we shall size up the Eagles and know how to play them. The Eagles are more experienced and exposed, but we shall play to our strength. From the way you talk, you don’t seem to harbour any fear for the Super Eagles… You just called your team Super Eagles. Ordinarily, the name should strike fear on countries in Africa, but we don’t fear any body. We respect the Super Eagles for the big players and what they are, but we don’t fear them. We have players who can match your team head to head and toe to toe. It will be 11 players on either side of the pitch . What makes you believe that you can beat the Super Eagles side that defeated you on your home ground? We weren’t expecting a defeat when the Super Eagles beat us in Ndola last year, but my thinking then was that we did enough to get at worst a draw. Again, I was barely 15 days on the job as head coach when we played that match. Since then, we have remained unbeaten and have improved very much. I inherited a team which I have been able to turn around to my taste and delight of Zambians Nobody gave your team a chance against Algeria, but you beat them home and away. How did you manage to perform such ‘magic’? It’s no magic, but the determination of the players and hunger to go the World Cup. We are focused and we play our game anywhere. To get a win in Constantine in Algeria was a big achievement for this young team, and this has given us the belief that we can beat any team, not excluding Nigeria. We know you beat Cameroon here, but we also know you lost to South Africa at same venue. Your final word on the match on Saturday… It is going to be a tough game, but I can only see us winning. The expectation from Nigerians will be high and that will put pressure on your team, and we will capitalize on that to win. Do you feel any pressure to win and do you have any injury concern? Pressure? Not really, but I could be tensed before the game. The pressure is on Nigeria. I have a couple of injury worries which we have taken care of. See you on Saturday coach Nyirenda… You didn’t wish me good luck, but we will see after our win https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/interview-nyirenda-zambia-eagles/ |

See different analysis all because of small Zambia.. Go and relax everybody.. This game is a walk over.. Well I didn't expect anything less, afterall some didn't allow us any respite when we wanted to play cameroun.. Trying to scare us with Basogog and the likes.. I would have been worried if balogun and mikel didn't make it to camp.. But as far they are there.. We winning this fam.. Lol I forgot the terrorist Victor Moses.. 7 Likes |
