allegations against amuneke in tanzania


Hi Guys,let me declare interest on this issue,Iam a Tanzanian and I want to clarify few issues on your bogus fellow countryman called Amunike.
It is true that we are not a powerful nation when it comes to soccer but we have decent players and It is true that the last time we made it to AFCOn was 39 years ago
On paper it looks as if Amunike is the messiah who helped Tanzania to qualify after 39 years(we all know Uganda did us a favor and allowed us to clobber them 3-0)
We noticed Amunike's flaws when we played Lesotho,his team selection was mediocre,he left out good players claiming they are Insubordinate,he hates players from the two big and popular clubs (Simba and Yanga)he ended up picking half baked players,we lost 1-0 to lesotho and had to wait until the last match for Ugandans who were already qualified to let us put three goals in the back of their nets.
Fast foward to June in cairo, Amunike was on it again .We were leading kenya 2-1 at half time and how he spent the 10 minutes in the dressing room is still puzzling the Tanzania's fans
**HE YELLED AT SENIOR PLAYERS calling them names claiming they play like women,one of them the center half Kelvin Yondan started crying the mood changed,we ended up loosing 3-2 to kenya,that was the only game we were atleast able to win because winning against senegal and Algeria was almost impossible but we lost because of the IGBO man EGO.
***HIS AGENT(an arab guy)was overheard and allegedly recorded before the game against Algeria that he wanted Tanzania to loose by a very big margin,we ended up loosing 3-0(PLEASE TELL ME IF THAT IS NOT MATCH FIXING)we all knew Algeria was going to win that match but his agent wanted us to loose by big margin...may be 10-0 may be 15-0 . who knows?

**** A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT CLAIMED TO BE TOLD BY NIGERIAN FA CHIEF THAT AMUNIKE IS NOT A GOOD COACH.
MP Juma nkamia a well renowned sport figure in Tanzania had a chitchat with a Nigerian FA chief in cairo and according to him the FA chief was suprised why Tanzania picked Amunike as a coach calling him a BROKER/MIDDLEMAN and insisted that the Tanzania football federation should have consulted him before hiring Amunike
****AMUNIKE LEFT TANZANIA AS VERY UNPOPULAR AMONG PLAYERS AND FANS,we will not miss him at all,we are still going after the FA bosses who hired him because his CV as a coach is bogus,more heads have to roll
Bye bye Amunike,bye felicia, do not come back.

just imagine...
Nigeria coaches and bribery....
keshi did same with Togo almost fought Adebayo because he got signed by Monaco and there was no cut for him...

reason why a Nigerian coach will barely be allowed to coach a European top club...
I have always said it... amunike is some one who loves money more than his coaching ambition...he is a good coach no doubt but corruption and bribery I fear for him.

Of course, we were danm lucky to beat Cameroon....lol. Any tactical sound coach like the South African coach can read Rohr so easily. The team has no rythm no telepathy just random movement of the ball till a chance is mistakenly created. Our progress does not correlate with our play.

I am just waiting for Rohr dismissal...you cant give what you dont have....end of road.


Imagine eating rice and Garri. That's how tepid Rohr's team is. No verve, no flow. Just cut and join. But it wasn't like this during the WCQ. I don't know what happened to him afterwards

It's because the teams in our WCQ group didn't park the bus against us. Burundi, Guinea, Madagascar parked the bus, but Cameroon didn't. That's why we looked like the Nigeria of old in the Cameroon match.

We struggle when teams are ultra-defensive.

Because our coach is ultra conservative too. A good coach should have balance his team. Defense should not be sacrificed for offense and vice versa.

Even if you have something against your player, do you have to broadcast it to the entire world? This man should have been fired immediately after the Argentina mach.

I would not describe that as player bashing.

We asked the question why they have not been selected and he described thier individual attributes and why those attributes don't add anything to the team.

Speculation and concrete offers are not the same thing.

If a club really wants you they will pay the price to get you no matter what it is.

Awaziem had a whole season in the French league 1, if he was outstanding as some have said here. He would have had concrete offers not speculation in the media.

Why do you think he ended up in Turkey ☪ because he was too good for the French league.

oga you lied, keshi gave iheanacho conditions to sign with his management team before will grant him a chance in the chan team.

martins was doing very well in laliga and continued with the same form when he moved to the mls but was only invited once in a game the team performed poorly.

odemwingie was in top form in 2013 but was snubbed by keshi citing indiscipline, same goes to taiye taiwo who was a mainstay in dynamo kiev that had haruna lukman and brown ideye.

what about the case of inform youngster imoh ezekiel?

do you know keshi almost dropped yobo and odemwingie from the 2014 worldcup list if not for the intervention of the then nff chairman?

why did an inform sone aluko who was hot in the colors of glasgow rangers in scotland prior to the 2013 afcon but wasn't given a chance?

at the time haruna lukman was a regular and aside mikel,onazi and i will say to an extend igiebor was the most inform nigerian midfielder in europe but was never given a chance by keshi.

what about john chibuike who was doing very well for norwagian giants rosenborg as of the time?


Most people don't want to hear the truth it's too BITTER for them to take in.

Small correction; lt was not the NFF chairman who intervened for Yobo it was actually Goodluck "J". With regards to Sone Aluko (who was in the EPL with Hull), a particular Bullish NFF assistant coach demanded that he change his agent and use his agent then go to Turkey ☪ of course Sone refused. The result frozen put of the SE.

Did you watch the Cameroon game, Aina switched off and was bypassed for the goal

It is not new knowledge

From beginning to end.

And that's not true.

Omeruo had a routine long ball directly in his pathway the Cameroon striker was in front of him, he then mistimed his header and what was elementary defending became a big gaff. He got bullied and lost the ball.

Aina rightly so anticipated that it was a ball that Omeruo should deal with very comfortably. However he did not, and Aina had to backtrack and try and salvage the situation from Omeruo big gaff.

That's why he nearly conceded the penalty in his attempt to tackle the Cameroon forward player.

The diction you implied that Aina always that means continously looses concentration. And as a result Awaziem is much better than him.

Can you give several incidents because you have not given one yet. Or remain negatively biased and prejudiced as you have not substantiated your position just shown your shameless bigotry.

If you spend more time being relaxed than trying to be offensive, you will gain from the argument. The question was, how can we cope with being offensive when our midfield gets over run in past games?

I said he should look up inverted full backs. I already pointed out that under Rohr, we have not grown tactically, so I do not expect an overnight pushing of the team.

I was just suggesting when we are on the offensive, a full back can tuck into the midfield to help increase the number in midfield and prevent us being overrun. So talking UNL, World Cup shows you are devoid of the argument.

Those teams you are talking about have capable midfielders, so the point I am raising is not respect to that. We are talking of how we can solve our leaking midfield if we want to attack.

Finito.
It only sounds offensive [to you] because you are tactically trying to deflect an actually honest question.

Now, how can we TRY a new tactic (that's not yet perfected even by Guardiola) for an issue that only became glaring in Afcon?

Very simple comparison with unit of measurement being quality of league and clubs as well as level of experience of the players.

Compare the club's and league Keshi players played in including those excluded.

And then compare to Rohr current team and even those excluded if you like.

He had 4 goals and 3 assists in 15 games by 26 Dec 2012. Not bad for a RW, but not on super form.
Martins was indeed in good form prior to AFCON(6 goals in 13) but like I said he didn't fit into how he wanted to play.
Osaze also had personal issues with Keshi so it's sort of understandable he got dropped.
We still had Emenike, Uche, Ideye, Vic Moses and Musa to fill in at CF and WF roles.

Odemwigie was in super form. I saw him played then.

Keshi never wanted to invite some players. It was not about not being fit into how he wanted to play. Obafemi Martins was the best Nigerian striker in Europe prior to the AFCON.

Why take Uzeonyi who was poor through out the qualifiers when we had Odemwigie and Martins?

Odemwigie had problems with him because of his bias selection. It is not acceptable.

I know Porto well and a lot of the top clubs in Portugal all these clubs have a business model and it includes selling players once they can get a good price.

Ademola Lookman is a player that Everton still want otherwise they would have accepted the CONCRETE OFFICIAL OFFER of £28 million. In addition there were multiple offers from a duplicity if clubs for Ademola.

Nantes is not a big club in the context of Financial muscle, they offered what they thought he was worth £3.5 million if I'm right. Who else wanted him❓ The price offered tells you his rating by the club after a season in the French league one. That should tell you something as well.

You cannot get a top RB on the English Championship for that money.

grin

It is because you look at it as nuclear physics. Simply, instead of Awaziem bombing forward to support the attack, when we are with ball, he joins the midfield to prevent us being overrun when we lose the ball.

I wonder where you are getting in the now. I have always talked of my preferred way we should play and wanted us to use the Madagascar game to give our more explosive forwards a chance to show what we can do.

I do not expect Rohr to go gung-ho today and do what he is not used to. He still has a tournament to manage and the hopes of millions of Nigerians based on his decision.

I am pointing out that the reason we are held back from being electric in our play is due to our Conservative play. Also, I do not want Osimhen playing without Chukwueze and Onyekuru flanking. The pressure from them will keep the opponents back. One of the full backs (Awaziem) inverting when we have the ball.

I wonder what your problem is.
