Super Eagles Final Training Pre-Atlético Madrid : Kelechi Nwakali, Ikouwem Shine




The Super Eagles had their final training session on Monday evening before a glamour friendly with Europa League winners Atlético de Madrid at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.

Apart from Roma striker Sadiq Umar who has stayed away from camp, and the reason given is that he is nursing an injury he picked up at NAC Breda, all the invited foreign-based players named to the roster took part in the workout.

Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr did not attend the session; Salisu Yusuf and goalkeeper coaches Pionetti Enrico and Alloy Agu put the players through their paces.

After the usual warm-up and stretching exercises, Yusuf split the squad into two groups for a training game which ended goalless.
Enugu Rangers goalkeeper Femi Thomas, Musa Mohammed, Tosin Omoyele, Usman Mohammed, Chidiebere Nwakali, Stanley Okorom, Dayo Ojo and Adeleye Olamilekan were members of the team wearing orange bibs.

Akwa United goalie Olorunleke Ojo, who was later replaced by Femi Kayode in the second period of the practice game, Kelechi Nwakali,
Austria Vienna's Alhassan Ibrahim, Emem Eduok, Ikouwem Utin and Raphael Ayagwa were among the players that did not wear bibs.
Arsenal midfielder Kelechi Nwakali and Ikouwem, who played on the flank, performed well in the practice game.
Ayagwa would have won the game for the team without bibs but missed a spot kick, the training session lasted for about one and a half hours.

wetin be the essence of this match sef.

MetalJigsaw:
I think 8 defenders will be too surplus. 7 should be OK.

Well, I may just so too. But Rohr has the final say.

His movement is very unique. I began to dribble that way in my late 20s. It shows maturity and calmness. I call it reflex action. You wait and act based on the actions of your opponent.

It is just like when something is thrown at u suddenly, it is either you act to dogge or catch.

This is Messi's style.

That's a good one.

Nihilstjnr:

Oh...I've confused myself

I thought I read best right winger

It's probably the wilderness

Leyqute:

Thunder fire your cap there

TheSuperNerd:
I guess it is no longer news that Osimhen's Wolfsburg survived the relegation playoffs. They won the second leg 1-0 against Holstein and maintains their status in the bundesliga in 2018/2019..
agg score win was 4-1.

So they've escaped relegation back to back.

Bolowolowo:
Spain’s roster also shows that they patronize their own league. After all, it is arguably the best in the world (do not quote on this point).

90% home based.

Martz101:


wishere was playing for arsenal, his not injured till the end of the season, he was playing the europa games, but the coach already took his decision after there last friendly.

Bros you can read na, stop arguing

Oga! 'Southgate was unimpressed with Wishere's fitness.....' That was the quote from your source.

Abi you no sabi fitness with injury record?

Eventhough, he played all Arsenal matches it doesn't mean he was 100% fit. That was what Southgate noticed not injury record.

Injury record in the sense that because he is prone to injury in the past, he should be dropped. Na lie be that.


Therefore, if Joel Obi is 100% fit, he should not be dropped because of his injury record. Aha! Shikena! Aha!

I think rohr should use player like ajiboye ,eze,agu,for Congo match caus we can't play them with our best player,bcaus does Congo player are too physical& too Strong in other to avoid injury

He's good with his left foot but a bad passer according to the clip.

I like his takeons

LieDetector:
OMG

This guy dey ball!

Joebie:
Kai.. so the lighter the better? Blacks!

this is actually funny considering I don't even like light guys.

Y'all be taking everything personal.


Even when a white person is too pale, I make comments. If a light-skinned person is too pale, I think they look sick. Na so I be. I don't like either extremes, so you people should stop being women and jumping to conclusions.

Somebody must always explain themselves on this thread every time. I am responsible for what I say and you are responsible for what you understand by it.

Even if i invite Southgate and wilshere here to tell you what happened, you wont still believw, ao move on

Kog45:
Yes Ajiboye making it is very slim but on level playing ground he is a keeper to beat.

i believe his better keepee than Akpeyi and Ezenwa. not too sure about akpeyi but his definitely better than Ezenwa.

I think Ezenwa need to be checked very well, his not been playing for enyimba of late.

Can you post that article you claimed Wishere was dropped because of his injury record?

Make sure you highlight it else you're only saving face.

MetalJigsaw:
Bia dis man. E be like say Joel don roja u ba? Where is mY Guilder bottle sef

Na fact I dey tell you. This season, he was only injured twice or thrice.

Sir Forgiveness, you once said u don't expect nothing from Dat Amunike boys that they lack individual talents, that the reason they triumphed was because of Amunike's tactical astuteness, but much to my chagrin, the day u guys were arguing about which local coach NFF should consider for Eagles job, u bounced same Amunike saying he wasn't a good coach and today now, the same talentless players are being praised by even u Da Saint.

Bros if my previous picture tag and further explaination can't explain well to you then is not my fault, the fact still remain Obi record alone can work against him in the team selection

Icon4s:


It depends on necessities and strength of the team.Chile took 5 defenders to the last WC.

Odion Ighalo is the only natural CF in that team. We may just need another in Simi. We know Iheanacho does not measure up well in 4-5-1. We tried Musa there against Serbia and he was almost missing for 90mins. What if Ighalo get suspended or injured and we have to play a 4-5-1. We may just need another CF in Simi.

If you carry 8 defenders to the WC you may likely not use more than 6 all through the tournament.

Rohr has the final say and may likely go with 8 defenders and drop Simi but I am just looking at it from another angle.

No sir, sampioli chile team played 3'5-2 and the right wing backs and left wing back were listed as midfielder. players like isla played in the right wing back but was listed in midfield position.

is just like excluding moses and Alonso from Chelsea defenders.

Iheanacho could lead the line, he did it against Argentina and goal rained, simy could be added to the team and taking off one midfielder.

All top team listed 8 defenders in there team

Odion Ighalo Arrives In Lagos, Joins Super Eagles Uyo Training Camp Today




Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that former Watford star Odion Ighalo landed in Lagos from London on Tuesday morning and has given his word that he will link up with his international teammates in Uyo later today.
The Super Eagles are expected to train this morning as the friendly with La Liga outfit Atlético de Madrid will take place at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium this evening, starting from 1800 hours.
Ighalo is guaranteed a seat on the plane to Russia in what would be his first World Cup and will be hoping to impress the coaching staff led by Gernot Rohr during the training camp so as to cement his spot in the starting line-up.

Speaking on the upcoming friendly against England, Ighalo said : ''England have a very good and fantastic team, we are not going to underrate them.
''We have a good team too, but at the end of that day it will be eleven players against eleven players on the pitch.
''I am looking forward to that game because I have played in the Premier League before and I'll like to see some familiar players on the pitch again.''

The penalty box predator is enjoying one of his most prolific seasons to date, with six goals in his last five games for Chinese club Changchun Yatai before his trip to Africa.

It doesn't change the fact that Amuneke is a one way traffic coach and also an agent coach.

However, I said I saw only 3 three good players in his team and they relied mostly on tiky taka. EOD

Really? Oya Egbon... I know say by expo say Chukwueze follow for the three... Oya tell me the other two you spot...

komekn:


I spent a lot if time at Burnley know almost all the coaching staff there.

I also know nearly all the black players and what they say to me in private will never be made public knowledge.

Sean Dyche is not a very nice man.

you claim he doesn't like black players, but he wants to buy our player... it doesn't make sense to me. why would someone buy something they don't like

kai so Lokosa’s darkness is too dark. the darkest possible?. you didn’t need to explain. And you don’t need to explain further.

Hehehehehe! I no go talk am. hahahahaha!

Actually, my number one is Michael Dogo Kingsley. He is very talented in my eyes though he played only few games. The remaining 2, I no go talk am.

MetalJigsaw:
So they've escaped relegation back to back.

That's not q sign of progression it actually makes it very hard for young players to break through.

It would be better for Osimhen if they were relegated have limited money and obviously loose some players. In this circumstance they are then forced to look in-house and give opportunity to academy players.

Aha!!!! Kingsley Michael follow.... Oya naa... Biko.... Oya just come whisper am for my ears naa....

I talked about this ages ago when I had dealings with them.

It's like saying because it's not made public that there is no racism in football. We have only 2 or 3 Black managers in the entire professional leagues in England. That tells you something.

Why do you think Grey left Burnley.

Finally until they buy him Simon it's all speculative.

Don't think that's an option he simply is not a center forward see bold.

We most definitely need another CF and although Simy is not exceptional under the circumstances he is one of our better options as it stands.
