Why?? because they are not white??

Yes, because they are not white and because they are not ancestrally British, so, they are not purely British. They are from British colonies, the same way players like Zidane, Henry, Kante and Pogba are not purely French, the same way Lukaku and Origi are not purely Belgian.

When it comes down to it, these places are not ancestrally theirs, and they have not settled long enough to be integrated into pure Brits, and it may never even happen. Europe isn't America, in America, nobody is really pure American aside the Native Indians, but in Europe, they have ancestral owners of land.

Iheanacho beating that keeper twice is golden. Looolll... He was almost falling though but nice effort to stay on his feet.

Out of favour Leicester City Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho showed he still has the touch that made him a goal threat during the early days of his career in England with a well taken lobbed goal for Leicester City in their 4-0 win over Luton in the Carabao Cup.

Iheanacho was introduced in the second half in what was his first appearance of the season and he immediately get on the act as his spilled shot fell nicely Youri Tielemans to score the third goal for Leicester City.

He crowned an amazing twenty minute display with a lobbed effort to round up a comfortable win for his team and in the process remind the technical crew and fans of the club of his undoubted ability in front of goal.

The win secured Leicester City spot in the next round with Iheanacho finally off the mark just in time for the naming of the squad of the senior national team of Nigeria ‎for their next international game, which is a friendly game against Brazil next month.

The screen shots give an insight into the historical deep seated bitterness and never ending hidden hatred towards France by Algerians. From that bloody civil war the fought to gain independence from France in 1962.

The younger generation may not feel so bitter but it still lingers. Don't forget Zz Zidane is of Algerian origin.

But you will begin to wonder why France held Algeria for that long. Morocco and Tunisia who are neighboring ex-French colonies both gained their independence in 1956. Francophone West and Central Africa gained theirs in 1960. So why the extended colonization of Algeria till 1962?

Of all French colonies Algeria was unique. France has been in Algeria since the early 1800s while others came in late 1800s and 1900s.
France also consider Algeria not as a colony but as part of France, it was like Puerto Rico or Hawaii to America, so a lot of French settled there over the years.
That made the war very brutal and in fact the French generals never wanted to stop and attempted several assassinations on Charles de Gaulle who negotiated the talks.
It was a bloody war with atrocities committed by both sides.

France wanted make Algeria a settled economy.
they wanted settle there just like the way the British and the dutch settled in south Africa.
but this Move was strongly resisted....

it rarely lead to several attempts of France to revolutionize the prior existing cultures in other to aid their plans but it wasn't easy and it was strongly resisted....

Leicester City assistant coach Chris Davies after the match had only high praises for Kelechi who took his chance when it came to push himself back in the manager’s plans.


”It’s great for Kel, because he’s been outside of the squad, let alone the team, just recently,” Davies told reporters postmatch, Soccernet.ng can confirm.

”But he’s been working hard in training, the manager has given him an opportunity tonight and he’s come in and he’s not been on the pitch for long but he’s made an impact.

”He’s scored, he’s pressed the game well, he showed a good hunger, a good appetite, and it’s an instinctive finish to chip the goalkeeper.”

https://www.google.com/amp/s/soccernet.ng/2019/09/kelechi-iheanacho-back-with-a-bang-earns-coachs-praise.html/amp

Anyone else's noticed that Leicester City assistant coach, Chris Davies is mostly the one who talks a lot about Iheanacho. I can guess he is a brilliant man and has put in a lot of work into Nacho along with Rodgers.

From the few clips I saw, Nacho looked faster which is a big sign of improvement. The sharpness in front of goal is still there. I hope he keeps working his socks off to improve as a player. That is the most important.

In 2004, Davies began his UEFA coaching licences while also attending Loughborough University, where he studied Sport Science, and working in various youth coaching roles.

After graduating from Loughborough with 1st class honours in 2007, Davies was a youth coach in New Zealand for 3 seasons, including at Hawke's Bay United, where he worked alongside Bobby and Jonathan Gould.

In 2010, aged 25, Davies was recruited as an assistant coach by Brendan Rodgers, who was the newly appointed Swansea City manager. In their first season, Swansea City were promoted to the Premier League.

Davies moved with Rodgers to Liverpool in June 2012, and left his position at Liverpool on 8 October 2015. During his time at Liverpool, Davies completed his UEFA Pro Licence in 2015.

Davies rejoined Reading on 1 January 2016 as their first team coach. At 30-years-old, Davies became the youngest first team coach in the club's history.

In June 2016, Davies moved to Celtic, becoming assistant manager to Rodgers. In their first season in charge, Celtic won the domestic treble for only the fourth time in the club's history, as they reshaped the squad with youthful flair.

Celtic would go on to break their own 100-year-old record for successive domestic games unbeaten, going 69 matches without defeat.

In February 2019, Davies moved with Rodgers to Leicester City, again as his assistant manager.

Chris Davies has been on Rodgers side most of Rodgers career and I feel Chris is a big part of the brilliant tactical play.

I hope Nacho is learning loads from him. Chris seems very interested in Iheanacho and has been the one answering most of the questions from Iheanacho.

Where I first took note of Chris Davies and his fondness of Iheanacho. Nacho should listen to the advice of developing himself through training.
That is the best he can do until he gets a run of games.


Leicester City assistant coach, Chris Davies, is pleased with the latest form of striker Kelechi Iheanacho in pre-season.

Iheanacho has scored three goals in two pre-season matches including a brace on Saturday against Rotherham United.

"I'm very pleased, Kel is a threat. He’s got a lot of attributes; quick, strong, he’s got good technique, he’s a finisher.

"It’s difficult as he’s playing in the same squad as one of the Premier League’s best strikers in Vards (Jamie Vardy) so he has to be patient.

"He has to do his best to develop himself through the training. He’s been doing that and he’s come back hungry, he’s come back looking strong.

"He scored a hat-trick in a pre-season training game a few weeks ago and then he’s done that today and he’s scored two goals, and could have had more, but he looked a threat.

"To be fair, the goals he did score… he took them very well. So, there’s a couple more he could have had but we need that, we need goals in the team so it’s really promising."

“We completely dominated the game, and it was everything we wanted. We made changes, but we were hoping [to see] what we saw tonight, so we’re very pleased.

“The manager’s message to the players was that he was picking the team because of how well they’ve been working. He believed that they could put in a good performance and get a result, and we certainly didn’t underestimate Luton... Chris Davies, Assistant Manager of Leicester City.
