Onazi: I’m Not Fighting With Mikel; Our Team Must Improve June 7, 2018 11:03 pm Trabzonspor of Turkey midfielder Ogenyi Onazi has labelled reports of him having an altercation with his national team captain Mikel Obi as ‘falsehood’, reports Completesportsnigeria.com. There were reports that the pair (Onazi and Mikel) are at loggerheads over the leadership of the team and the alleged tussle is affecting the chemistry of the players in camp. Onazi admits he has noy been at his best in recent games but adds that his performance has not affected his outstanding relationship with the Tianjin TEDA star Mikel. “It’s ridiculous to read that I don’t take orders from him (Mikel),” Onazi told only CSN. “He’s an outstanding individual and it hurts that this could be out there without verification. “I relate well with Mikel, he is our captain and our leader. Thank you for trying to balance your reports. “We all grew up together in Jos and he’s someone I have looked up to since I started my career. I get along with him and he has been helpful encouraging me after the criticism I recieved after the England game.” On the team’s defeat against Czech Republic, the former SS Lazio midfielder admitted that the team must improve to stand a good chance against Croatia. “We are here to do our country proud and to achieve that we must improve on our performances,” he added. Onazi was left out of Nigeria’s squad that lost 1-0 to Czech Republic and it remains to be seen if he will be restored to the starting line-up for the team’s Russia 2018 World Cup opener against Croatia. https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/onazi-im-not-fighting-with-mikel-our-team-must-improve/ |

Echiejile: I’m Ready To Play Wing-Back, Eagles Know How To Handle Croatia June 7, 2018 9:38 pm Elderson Echiejile has revealed that he will be prepared to play as a wing-back for the Super Eagles as Gernot Rohr ponders switching to a 3-5-2 formation ahead of their 2018 FIFA World opener against Croatia on the 16th of June, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. Echiejile, who came on for Bryan Idowu in Nigeria’s 1-0 defeat to Czech Republic at the Rudolf Tonn Stadium in Austria on Wednesday, told CSN that the team will notdisappoint when they take on Croatia. “I can play as a left full-back or a left wing-back, as you know football has evolved over time and playing in several positions enhances your versatility in the team,” Echiejile who made his 61st appearance for Nigeria in the defeat told CSN. “I’m comfortable playing there. “The game was tough but we will regroup to polish the areas needed to be improved on. “Either position – as a left-back or a wing-back, that depends on the tactics the manager is deploying for any game. “I feel we now have a clue on how to face Croatia, looking at their game against Brazil. We won’t disappoint Nigerians in Russia, we just want their full support to ensure we surpass our past achievements at the World Cup.” Echiejile is also excited he made the final cut for the 2018 FIFA World Cup having missed out on the 2014 World Cup in Russia. “Most of us were not sure, but I’m happy I made the cut and it’s time to do the nation proud,” he added. The Super Eagles open their World Cup campaign on 16 June against Croatia. https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/echiejile-im-ready-to-play-wing-back-eagles-know-how-to-handle-croatia/ 1 Like |

Czech Republic Keeper Vaclik: How We Outsmarted Super Eagles June 7, 2018 8:13 pm Czech Republic goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik described Wednesday’s 1-0 friendly win against the Super Eagles of Nigeria as a valuable one, reports Completesportsnigeria.com. Karel Jarolim’s men were thrashed 4-0 by Australia in another friendly fixture last Friday but bounced back with an impressive showing against the World Cup-bound West Africans. “It was a valuable victory for us. We controlled the game and created a number of chances too,” Vaclik was told Tyden.cz. “They (Nigeria) played better in the second half but we stood up to them. It was a different performance from us than against Australia.” Czech Republic head coach, Karel Jarolim, made a number of changes to the team that lost to the Australians and also tinkered with the formation, adopting a 3-5-2 as against the 4-3-3 they lined up with against Australia. And the 29-year-old FC Basel shot stopper stated that the players acquainted themselves well in the game. “We were more compact when under pressure. We also used it against Germany in the qualifier and it was our best performance,” he said. “It’s good that we have two options among which we can switch.” https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/czech-republic-keeper-vaclik-how-we-outsmarted-super-eagles/ |

Ogu: Super Eagles Have Learnt From Defeats, I’ll Play In Any Position June 7, 2018 5:50 pm Super Eagles midfielder John Ogu believes the team have picked valuable lessons from the 1-0 defeat against Czech Republic in their friendly encounter in Austria on Wednesday, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. The Hapoel Be’er Sheva of Israel star started the game in midfield but switched to a centre-back role when Nigeria changed formation in the second half. He further stated that he is ready to play in any position for the team and vowed to keep working hard in training ahead of the World Cup. “Another “FRIENDLY “game to analyse, learn and build on towards the World Cup. Everyone is working hard and as well preparing for the task ahead. Any position the Manager wants me to play, I will fight and work hard as long as it is to win for my country!!.Thanks to all our fans,” Out tweeted on Thursday. Ogu will be playing in his first World Cup in Russia following his shocking omission from Nigeria’s squad that took part in Brazil 2014.

Kog45: Egbon, to tell you the fact. I am not happy about the outcome of the friendlies. I would have loved the team to go into the tournament with confidence and high expectations. But, it has happened this way. And that doesn't mean all hope is lost! I don't believe Rohr is hiding any tactics. Yes he performed some experiments and saw the results. By results I don't just mean the score lines. I mean observations to be taken away into the WC. Let us see how he will line up the team against Croatia. I am not shaken. What I have to say is WE ARE NIGERIA! and we are capable of shocking anybody. Take that from me. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Changchun Yatai Motivate Ighalo Ahead Of World Cup June 7, 2018 9:48 pm Chinese Club Changchun Yatai have backed their Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo to hit top form on the international scene once more after his recent barren spell, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. Ighalo extended his goal drought for the Super Eagles to six games after firing blanks in the team’s 1-0 defeat against Czech Republic in a pre-World Cup friendly game on Wednesday. His last goal for the three-time African champions was against Cameroon in a World Cup Cup qualifying encounter last year where he opened scoring in the 4-0 rout. “When you are in trouble, tell yourself that it was raining yesterday. Today it is windy. The sun will come out tomorrow. ,” the club tweeted on Thursday with a picture of Ighalo underneath with two Czech Republic players trying to stop him in driving rain. The former Watford striker has hit the back of the net four times in 18 appearances for Nigeria. He will look to get on the score sheet again when Nigeria face Croatia in their first Group D game on June 16 at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/changchun-yatai-motivate-ighalo-ahead-of-world-cup/ 1 Like |

Humility017: If Rohr would adopt the 3-5-2 formation I would rather we have Iwobi and Iheanacho upfront. Iwobi to cover from the left wing to the center and also easily joins the midfield but must always be ahead of Mikel who will play directly behind the duo. Iheanacho is a very deadly finisher but he only needs someone to pair with to wreck havoc. Iwobi pairing with Iheanacho upfront is the coup I want Rohr to plot against Croatia. 8 Likes |
