Certitude: Factually a good tackle CAN NEVER prevent a good interception. I mean if you intercept the ball even before the player gets the pass then what's the essence of a tackle? It's only when you fail to intercept a pass that you depend on your ability to tackle outrightly. Also consider the fact that when a player makes a forward pass, he immediately starts moving in an attacking sense, now if he passes the ball for a one-two for example and you intercept it, the said player would have been making a run to go and get a reverse pass and this provides an open channel for you to exploit. But when a player is comfortably on the ball and is approaching you one on one, his teammates would be settled in their position looking out for loss of possession. Now don't get this whole thing wrong Sir, of course tackles are important since interceptions won't always work. But Busquets is not a tackling god, he excels in interceptions and that's what makes him the best at what he does. Mikel too when he was a DMF was not exactly a tackling machine, he effectively plugged spaces and won back possession without making any tackle. Then you come back to what we have here, Ndidi-Onazi combo does not exactly work because both are more concerned with tackles instead of plugging spaces and making clean interceptions. Now I just gave you practical applications of the theories I just propounded and we know that when a theoritical dysfunction(such as non-disjunction or Trisomy 21) leads to a clinical disease(in this case Down's Syndrome) then it should be taken serious. 1 Like |

Nope.... I think you guys saying Kante was miles ahead of Ndidi in that game are the ones who saw a different game... Or possibly your eyes were only just on Kante. Kante was massive for Chelsea and on a couple of occasions made beautiful runs from deep in midfield but Ndidi was also the octopus covering every blade of grass intercepting plays and winning balls for his side cleanly thru top class tackles..... He even started the move that led to Leicester's goal.... Ndidi topped Kante in that game despite Chelsea's win. So Whoscored.com don become crap now abi? ![]() Icon79: 5 Likes |

Icon79: As soon as Iheanacho was on the break, my heart cut (as Chelsea fan) ![]() In that case,Mahrez option was either to stretch to the right or release the ball but he choosed to to do the Messi style. Hahahaha! Menh.... As a Chelsea fan, I was relieved. ![]() I thank both of them anyway. 1. because Iheanacho pass killed the flow of the attack and prevented Leicester city from scoring. ![]() 2. Because Mahrez decision to dribble instead of passing the ball gifted the ball to Chelsea's players who eventually led to the goal. ![]() I Congratulate both of em for a Job well done though I wished Iheanacho scored a consolation goal only. ![]() 1 Like |

If Kalinic is striking for Croatia Vs Nigeria, our defenders gats be aware. cos the guy have a very crafty positioning. I've watched couple of games of him in Milan Jersey and I must twale for him in that regard. Not to lethal, but good positioning. |

Icon4s:Yeah. Came on as a sub. He went deep as though he wasn't the 9. But in some moments of concentration loss, his first touch was a hard header that miss the post by a few inches. Touched the ball several other times inside the 18,and couldn't be dispossessed. |

Ezenwa in Eagles second batch out to Poland today Goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa and some other officials including assistant coach Imama Amapakabo will fly out this night for a World Cup warm-up in Poland.

The first batch of officials flew out from Abuja on board Luftansa Sunday and they included coach Salisu Yusuf and team administrator Dayo Enebi. The Super Eagles will take on fellow World Cup qualifiers Poland on Friday in Wroclaw as part of their preparations for the World cup in Russia in June. They also face another World Cup-bound team Serbia in London four days later.
