To be fair to Chidi, even he admitted to the media a few years ago in 2015(I think?) before Kelechi's rise that his younger brother is more technically gifted and a better Midfielder than he is. Earthquake1: 2 Likes |

But he has done enough when and where it matters to be noticed by Rohr and his crew. Marca took notice. Goal took notice. And now Rohr is taking note of the lad. You guys really need to chill abeg and put things into proper perspective. tbaba1234: 2 Likes |

TheSuperNerd: I disagree. Look through the goals Chidi has scored in his career so far. There are some worldies there. Definitely talented. Showing sparks of talent without consistency will lead you nowhere. Kelechi needs to find that consistency fast. 1 Like 1 Share |

Chidi have never played bigger than Norway-level football. Or even Scottish soccer. He got noticed but could not sustain Rohr's interest long enough. Kelechi have played and shown fine glimpses of his talents at higher levels than Chidi. Rohr have taken note of the lad and his MOTM performance pre-Russia in that Atletico game for Nigeria B gave him a fine shot with Rohr. Kelechi is currently at Porto B with option of a permanent purchase if he does well enough. The Jury can't possibly be out this early on the lad. He is 20 and still maturing. tbaba1234: 2 Likes 1 Share |

TheSuperNerd: Kelechi only career step-up was in the eredivise where he failed to shine. Yes, he did not impose himself when he was given the chance to play. Let us not forget, Chidi was also a stand out performer against Atletico. It was a meaningless match. The standout performers are struggling to impose themselves at lower levels. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Is Scotland and Norway bigger than Holland and Portugal? Please tell me. Scoring screamers in Norway is never compared to Scoring in Holland. You also know this. Fact is Kelechi have done it and shown his stuff on bigger stages and at higher levels than Chidi. Even in the GWG vs Atletico he outshone Chidi big time. And Kelechi's Sparks of huge talents have done enough to bring him into National team attention. He had had far more better games than bad ones... he only needs to up his levels of consistency and that will come at its own time with more effort on his part.. Give lad a break and let him keep developing. tbaba1234: 2 Likes |

TheSuperNerd: Second tier in Holland and Portugal ![]() When he stepped up in the eredivise, he could not force himself into the starting line up. Let me be clear, i like the kid but he needs to work hard to step up his game. At his age, he has done nothing of note. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

But Kelechi did score on his Cameo debut for VVV when given one of his few Cameo chances to impress. Didn't he? Tell me, how is a young player expected to shine and be imposing in just a few minutes of football every other game huh? How exactly? For a Midfielder, he even has one goal in the eredivisie in 9 games of varied Cameo mins. He was never given the chance to show what he can do so he never failed at that level. You saying he failed is just pure fallacy. And in the Atletico game, even Usman did great didn't he? But the fact remains that Kelechi was the MOTM for Nigeria. He was the most noticeable and most obvious outstanding performer on the day. He was our best player that day. Fact. tbaba1234: 2 Likes 1 Share |

Dutch second tier is one of the best for talents devt and growth in Europe. And it is better than Norway.. or playing for a lowly team in Scotland. They are more than 10 places below Holland in the league rankings strength in Europe. When he stepped up into the Eredivisie, he scored on his debut in his very first Cameo appearance. Lad was never given a run of games even after that. Coach obviously had his preferences and it was not for lack of talent or effort on Nwakali's part... But just for preference. Simple. How do you explain being given varying Cameo appearances on eight occasions even after scoring on your debut in just 15 mins of football? Aha.. I guess you still think it was him not doing enough. And finally, at his age, he did decently enough in the Dutch second division to be noticed by Marca of Spain and Goal International. If that is not decent enough for you then I think you are only looking at him with the eyes of an Arsenal fan hence you expect him to be tearing up the world like he is Zidane. Look, he is K.Nwakali and he will grow and become much more as long he keeps working his socks off and adding to his game and working on being much more consistent. Even Didier Drogba was not tearing things up at 20 or 21 before his super boom at 26. tbaba1234: 1 Like 1 Share |

oga saying he wasn't given a chance to shine is an insinuation that he had a frosty relationship with venlo's coach or management? bros if kelechi showed better quality than all the midfielders in venlo the coach will have no excuse not to play him. lets stop this hype abeg. kelechi is one of our promising youngstars coming up whom i adore so much but he needs to start living up to the expectations. he is already 20yrs old and alot of players of his age are playing in top leagues and better teams. so lets stop the hype and excuses and hopehe lives up to the promise he showed in our cadet teams. when mikel was at his age he was already robbing shoulders with the some of best midfielders in the world at the time in london giants chelsea. ajax would have been a better place for him to start his career but the lure of playing for a top epl team was too good for him to reject. he would have developed better in ajax and may be in their first team by now if he moved there TheSuperNerd: 4 Likes |

TheSuperNerd: The Eredivise develops youth as well. No one is expecting him to be tearing up anything, he should be playing in the top tier in leagues like Holland and Portugal. There is no progression from the Jupiler league to portuguese second tier. Arnaut Danjuma is just 1 year older than Nwakali, look at what he is doing with Brugge. 2 Likes |

But stats do not lie. He was never given a proper chance to show his stuff even after showing what he can do in 15 mins on his debut. And this is not hype... This is just saying it as it is. You guys here are being so harsh on the lad just as you came here the other day saying he is warming the bench at Porto B which was a super lie. Must you spread falsehood just because you want to see K.Nwakali function better at a much higher level? charlesemeka85: 1 Like 1 Share |

Scotland is number 21 in Europe while Norway is 24 all rated based on league strength coefficient and quality of competition. Holland is number 11. That is leagues away from those two so yes Holland second tier is higher no matter how slight. charlesemeka85: 1 Like |
