Leon Balogun: Who Is Lionel Messi? Reveals Super Eagles Secret Weapon Ahead Of World Cup




Mainz 05's Leon Balogun says the objective of the Super Eagles is qualify for the last sixteen of the 2018 World Cup despite the presence of Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi and Argentina in their group.
The central defender, who was in contention to play for Nigeria at the 2014 World Cup until injury ruled him out, pointed out that Nigeria easily overcame Algeria, Cameroon and Zambia during the qualifiers.

''Who's Lionel Messi? Nigeria, Super Eagles deserve this chance, it could have been different teams playing against us in our group but it is Argentina again,'' Balogun told German Television DW.

''Without Messi, some people say we might have been scared. Nigeria is strong, we were the first team to qualify from Africa, so we proved our quality especially as a team.

''I hope that we can bring this on stage in Russia and I think we have chances of reaching the next round.''
Without mentioning names, Balogun revealed that Gernot Rohr has a secret weapon that will work for him at the World Cup.

''We will be a big surprise, we have some attackers, some quality in our offense that most of the teams might not be aware of, so I hope they are not getting to get a wake up call before.

''We are going to wake them up in the game but it's going to be too late for them,'' Balogun added.

German-born Leon Balogun played five matches during the 2018 World Cup qualifiers and captained the Super Eagles against Algeria in November 2017.

I don't have a medical license yet... Everyone knows that. cheesy. I am still in school in Nigeria pursuing my MBBS as my second medical degree and still involved in my scholarships studies in the US (via online and then live on-campus means). I am also working and currently building a mighty financial project. I finished from my first medical/biomedical degree with honors. It is found in one of my first threads on NL in the education section. This is just a tip. There's much more to me. So you see that you are just yapping just to make yourself feel comfortable.

I wonder what is more faceless than you saying all you have just said... Someone quoted you once a long time ago last year during the time my mom was insulted (for which you were so glad ofcos) and told you to mind your jealousy. I think you should take his advice. wink Pseudo-intellectualism is the worst coat a person in a field can wear. it can only lead so far. Enjoy your level and keep nacho out of your negative odorous atmosphere.

Asking you a question in the field of medicine will be childish.... There are a thousand I could ask you and you would not know the first thing about them. So dont even throw that silly shade my way. Like someone said, you have obviously been jealous. I noticed same when you were so keen for me to take note of you.

I also recall your wrong approach and subtle lies (which you never apologised for) in trying to engage me about Ikeme's case. One of my fields of focus in my scholarships studies is cancer and its types and subtypes even at the molecular level. That discussion would have been the perfect opportunity to rub minds but the way you went about it, charging in to be noticed... ... Loooolll... I really laughed myself out that day.
I dont rub minds with froward people... No matter how much I know, I won't even want to let you know how much I know.... That is me. I hate frowardness.

You are meant to be the older one but sadly, you act so immature.

P.S: "People set their bar at own level"... Ofcos Everyone knows this. So why say something so common and say I dont understand it? Like seriously... Loolll
Lemme tell you one last thing... Every human no matter the level he sets for himself, it is all dependent on what he or she understands to be "The Best" because not everyone set their bar higher than people's expectations of them. Some wanna just settle for best while some want and are willing to be gods.
In football, I classify C.Ronaldo as a the best.. Among humans. wink

But Messi... I call him a god. He is the benchmark for all other footballers in this generation. Pele... He is the overall historical ref. Point. But in the end, it is all about whether you wanna become part of History's hall of fame, change history's hall of fame or become the history hall of fame. Okay I'm done... You can run along now. wink

I do both online and on-campus phases in this special scholarship program. It is kinda classified in some sense but again I can tell you that it requires me to travel too as part of the whole package. That is what the "On-campus" phase/part is about.



And yes, one can study online without going to America, it depends on the courses... I have relatives who did such.

For your other questions as regards scholarships and more you may have, why not go to my education thread and continue rhe discussion there? You will find it among my 20 topics on NL. It is one of them... Thanks.

Nigeria's conservative strategy paid off, says Salisu Yusuf
By KweséESPN Reporter


Nigeria coach Salisu Yusuf believes that his conservative tactical approach against Libya was a key reason behind the Super Eagles' African Nations Championship victory on Friday.

Sunday Faleye scored the only goal of the game as the home-based Nigeria side beat the North Africans 1-0, winning their first game of the tournament after being held by Rwanda in their opener.

Libya were rampant as they swatted away Equatorial Guinea 3-0 in their first match of the campaign, but looked a shadow of themselves against a Nigeria side that limited their time on the ball and blocked off the channels effectively.

"Our strategy to close down their space worked," Yusuf told journalists after the match. "We watched their games and they're a good possession team, good with the ball.

"Closing down the space gave us the advantage."
It was a cagey contest which Yusuf readily admitted could have gone either way, but while Nigeria lacked creativity themselves, the Eagles coach will be delighted that his stopper Ikechukwu Ezenwa barely had a save to make.

"We played different tactics for the two games," Yusuf added.

"In the other game we played 4-3-3, here we played 4-2-3-1 so that we were always compact centrally.

"This helped us deny Libya getting central penetration," he added. "Our play [out wide] worked well too."
Nigeria now travel to Agadir where they face Equatorial Guinea in their final match, knowing that anything other than defeat would guarantee progression.

"We look forward to the next game with humility and discipline," Yusuf concluded. " We have to work hard - very hard - to beat Equatorial Guinea.

"It won't be easy."

Eagles star Shehu Abdullahi agrees 1.3 million Euros deal with Turkish club Bursaspor


Nigeria international Shehu Abdullahi has agreed a contract for two and half years with Turkish club Bursaspor worth 700,000 Euros.

According to www.anorthosis24.com, Shehu arrived Bursaspor yesterday to hold talks with the chairman where the players, his club Anorthosis Famagusta and the Turkish Super League side agreed a two-year contract which the former Kano Pillars star will pen in following days.

Shehu will pocket 400, 000 Euros per year in the deal that also attracted a transfer fee of 300, 000 Euros.
Anorthosis also proposed a percentage, alongside some other add-ons, should Shehu be sold to another club.
The Cypriot club would also get a bonus of 150, 000 Euros from FIFA as Shehu is a World Cup player.
Shehu returned to Cyprus today to play his last game against Ethnikos Achnas tomorrow.

He’s expected to arrive Turkey on Monday to officially sign his contract.

Shehu will team up with his Eagles’ team mates – William Troost-Ekong, Mikel Agu.

Little Pascal Okoli is another Nigerian player in the team and five more in the U21s and U19s.

England's case is laughable. They treat the world cup like a family vacation. The world cup is once in 4 years. This is the era of Skype and other apps. Hope we don't tow the England line. We have to be serious, our players and their WAGS should see this as a necessary sacrifice. If we are soldiers going to war do we take our wives and girlfriends along?

Mickael2:



I swear you have time. Do you know why nairaland is called a faceless forum? Because people claim to be what they are not. He has shown a total lack of psychological understanding, he has failed to understand that people set their bar at their own level. There is a reason why Pele or Maradona would never believe that Messi is the best, because they believe they have done better. I don't need to come and start shouting that I had distinctions in BCH, Anat, Pathology, Medicine and surgery before a proper psychologist understands that I don't celebrate minor things because they don't come off as any achievement to me. I would probably challenge him to present his medical certificate or license but then he wouldn't be able to. If I were to ask him what is the two-finger job he probably wouldn't know so what's the point. Just let it go and we move on.

The Plateau team is a clubside that plays together every week and how many of their best players were missing? CHAN eagles were hurridly assembled with little or no chemistry as at the time they even played the NPFL clubs, for them not to have lost says alot about their quality against clubsides that has the chemistry lacking in the CHAN eagles. I hope you understand where I'm coming from?

This was why I made mention of the Japanese league all starts that lost 7:3 to an unknown 4-5th division side from Australia.

CM - Emeka Atuloma : 8.0 - Atuloma kept the ball well but he was a bit slow at releasing the ball fast enough to increase the pace of the game.

CM - Ifeanyi Ifeanyi : 5.0 - The Akwa United player made some good runs but his deliveries were questionable.

AM - Rabiu Ali : 6.5 - He had a good game, established himself with some simple and accurate passes.

AM - Sunday Faleye : 8.5 - He was the man behind the positive moves initiated by the CHAN Eagles. He scored the crucial match winner.

AM - Emeka Ogbugh : 6.0 - Showed flashes of what to expect from him in future games, fast and smart on the ball.

FW - Anthony Okpotu: 6.0 - Looked quiet but his work rate deserves a thumbs up.

SUB - Mustapha Ibrahim: 6.0 - He is fast, big and he's got potential up front and got things going when he came on.

SUB - Ekundayo Ojo: 6.0 - The Sunshine Star play maker kept the ball well and combined very well with his teammates. He should be in the starting XI against Equatorial Guinea.

SUB - Augustine Oladapo NA

Emeka Ogbugh has been our best player going forward, he gets past his marker at will and his crosses are dangerous. Okpotu will be more dangerous if he played along side Mustapha Ibrahim. Also Dayo Ojo changed the match with his introduction, he brought in urgency.

That's to say they are a quality side even though they were just coming together then. Plateau UTD is the NPFL defending champs

Oh but I was not bragging. I was only setting the records straight. smiley

I am not ashamed of who I am and I am not afraid to talk a little about it when the occasion calls for it. After all you were also here on this thread when someone tried to rubbish my profile last year calling me Maastricht, saying he hates me and calling me a fake ass. You were here weren't you?

After all, bragging is not saying you don't have a medical licence just yet. That is just being factual.

But thanks for the message. Of course I get what you mean. It is indeed a small world but it is also a world where one can attract the people and circumstances he want to attract into his life. Positive only attracts positive. Negative attracts negative. Mere success attracts mere success. Vanity attracts Vanity. And Excellence attracts Excellence. The cosmos is like a big magnet pulling to one what or who he is on the inside of his mind. This is why I know the kinds of people I can meet in the future. It's all in the mind too.


You always have my respects Sir Tbaba1234. So take good care. And let us return to football. Thank you. smiley

Enough with the achievement measuring contest. Whatever you think, you have done in your life, several people have done more. You will find people who have done far more with their lives on this thread and do not even mention the half of it. This thread is for football and not for bragging about your academic or professional achievements.

Humility and respect for each other goes a long way and will help you build lifetime connections. You could need each other someday in the future, it is a small world. Please, sheath your swords. We all view life from different prisms. Respecting each others viewpoints regardless of how you feel about it, is important.

Okpotu to play alongside Mustapha Ibrahim? Will Salisu employ such tactics? I think that is proposing a 4-4-2 right or a 3-5-2?

And yeah, Ogbugh's crosses are almost always well placed. Dude is trying too. There are still flashes of certain brilliance in the team despite all the team still lacks.
I think our defence is also one reason this team can shock the bookmakers but let's see shaa. Please any update on Faleye? Hope dude is okay.

Only Martins and Aghahowa and also Babayaro... (Who else I forget?) ... are the only ones I recall who did somersaults with dare and sweetness.

I don't even know who to rank first between Obagoal and Aghawonder.... Chaaaiiiiii... Their celebrations always made me go gaga for a few secs. Lol
for me Aghawonder somersault rank first, the rhythm, I think it was seven. I don't forget this from a commentator.. "and Aghahowa goes on and on and on woooooow" very beautiful to the eyes
