Oh really. You have watched them and they play alike? Well I was speaking about the unpredictability a small name but deadly team brings. I have not watched both teams closely enough to make that conclusion in terms of how they play. Let me assume you have. I believe you then. ![]() Humility017: |

Bad agent, impatience, instability, not versatile etcetera. He was not patient enough to wait until he breaks into Sporting Lisbon's first team after spending 3 years there because he wanted to break into the national team. He also wanted to get more money and guarantee for first team but he left as a free agent. He could had broken into the first because he won an international U19 tournament for them in his first season and even won the best player of the tournament. He singlehandedly helped them again to the finals the next season in same competition before he left when he was just 18 year of age. I was also happy he left at that time but I later realized it was a bad move for him to had Left at that age. At PSV, the same thing happened. He was not patient enough because he had many players ahead of him (especially OlaToivonen, Kevin Stroostman, Wijnaldum & Memphis Delay) and his contract was based on performance. Though he made the bench on several occasions but he didn't play more than 2 league matches the whole seaon and 5 games of Eredivise FA version. I think I read where the coach talked about his smallish body frame and advice he had to build on his strength because of the physicality of the game. But I think it is very difficult for an African to be entrusted to play the AMF role ahead of indigenous players who are also as good as him. Unfortunately, he had to contend directly with Ola Toivonen was the captain and he was one of the best players in the Eredivise. Even at LW where they tried to use him, Memphis was bosing it there. I think if he was patient enough he could had developed there because at some point, he always made the bench but his agent requested PSV to terminate his contract because of lack of game time. And he got him a deal with Celtic even when Liverpool and other clubs were rushing for his signature.Note, he spent only eight months before he terminated his 3 years contract because he wanted to make the Afcon. Immediately, he was issued work permit based on special talent clause. Believe me, he met the same situation there. Many big players were ahead of him and he couldn't adapt to the physical accept of the Scotich league hench the need to terminate his contract quickly again because of lack of game time and the pressure to get game time in other to make the National team for AFCON. The next move was Kilmarnock in the same Scotich league where he started to get regular game time on the LW but he was later released after he collapsed on the pitch during a match. If he had not collapsed I think he would had done well there. From there, he went to Trencin where he picked up himself and his career.it was there he helped them to win the league with Madu and Moses Simon and it was there Gent came for him. Na from there me stop to follow because game time come hard to get. I think he is a conventional number 10 and unfortunately, he is not versatile. It is will be very difficult for an European club to entrust that position to an African and that is why you see club convert African players from their natural attacking midfield role to play other roles. This is why I repect and appreciate Abdul Ajagun because he has always been favoured to play on that AMF role for all the clubs he went to in Europe. He is currently playing there for his club this season. There is no player like him that has been played or is being played consistently in that role for the past 5 years in in a top club or top 10 league in world the SE. My study of Rabiu Ibrahim and some African players exposed me to this reality. That is why it is good for an African AMF to be versatile.

MetalJigsaw: His holdup play pull opposition players towards him which takes them away from their positions and creates openings in their teams, and the beauty is in him being able to pass the ball to initiate an attack. That's why when he doesn't play we find it difficult to create chances for scoring opportunities. This is why I prefer him playing closer to the strikers because he will help bring out the DMs out of their positions instead of using him as DM which will only pull strikers and attacking midfielders closer to him 3 Likes |

junnyjake: Mbappe was nobody at the beginning of last season and two seasons ago at Monaco. If I knew he was eligible to play two seasons ago, I go don make noise here, that is, if I had perceived he is the real deal. But i was not interested in one way traffic league and where no Nigerian plays. So, I dont think there is no chance of getting him if we discover him earlier when he was nobody. He would had considered fast fast. |

The three teams that Nigeria will face in the group stage have different strengths. Croatian's strength is in their midfield, Iceland is their defense and that for Argentina is their attack. If Nigeria is able to qualify from this group, it will show that they can fare well against any team they meet in the knock out stages. 4 Likes |
