Samuel Chukwueze: Super Eagles’ fighting spirit‘ll trouble Brazil Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze believes the big match between Nigeria and Brazil is more than friendly tie with combatants on both sides readying themselves for the prestige game. The October 13th duel slated for Singapore National Stadium would be the first real contest between the two sides since Brazil beat Nigeria 3-0 in an international friendly at the then newly-constructed Abuja National Stadium (now known as M.K.O Abiola Stadium) in 2003. Incidentally, Chukwueze was in Nigeria’s national U-17 team that drubbed the South Americans 3-0 five years ago at the Estadio Sausalito Vina Del Mar on their way to winning a record fifth global cadet title in Chile. “That’s a big game (between Nigeria and Brazil) to look forward to in Singapore and I think it’s going to be a tough match,” the 20-year-old Chukwueze said in an interview. Though the five-time World Cup champions were run-away winner with a comprehensive 4-0 defeat of Japan during their last visit to Singapore five years ago, Chukwueze said it would be a close contest between the Selecao and Super Eagles. “I don’t know how it’s going to be but I’m confident we are going to make our country proud because everybody is going to look up to this game,” explained Chukwueze who was recently named in the 40-man list of nominees for the 2019 Golden Boy Award. “It’s going to be a tough game but everybody would see what we are made of when we play against Brazil. I believe this set of Super Eagles is very good; it’s not just that we are good but we are committed. “We have the fighting spirit to do everything possible to remain one of the best teams in the world and I think we are going to do well against Brazil,” added the 2018 Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Young Player of the Year. 1 Like |

Almighty Rohr invited the best winger in the world from the Bulgarian league. Don't worry guys, Otabor has soaked in enough drillings and Will unleash come October 13. Like Chris Danjuma, Imamma like Rohr. If Okoye can become the third choice GK, why not Otabor? After all both are YOUNGIES 1 Like |

Lol... This is funny. So he expected a call-up from Nigeria when the issue of allegiance switch was in the picture. He was approached to begin a switch and he didn't wanna commit because he clunged to hopes of England. This kid is just talking and evading the truth. He knows what he's always wanted. He should just face his England career. Wished him the best already. Trying to sound like England were his first contact is only making him sound like an ass. MetalJigsaw: 3 Likes 2 Shares |

To be honest. All these kids pledging allegiance to us so early when they are not at decent levels in their football careers has a double edge to it. Some are genuine. While some are just doing it because they have given up hopes of featuring for their Euro options like England, Germany and co. If this kid was at Bayern Munich or Dortmund for instance and giving the opportunity to showcase himself and he is making the headlines, would he still declare for Nigeria? This is tricky. Truth is most would not declare if they see a chance to play for The Three lions or Die Mannschaft. But yes, a few may still opt for Nigeria. Either ways, we just gotta respect their decisions. It is their lives after all. But I really don't regard decisions made out of forced necessity/just-go-for-the-available instead of true commitment. Iwobi had a chance to still pursue his England dream when he was approached and told to shun Nigeria at the last minute. He still stood his ground and chose the GWG. That is the kinda commitment I respect. If we don't stress that kind of commitment, then we are just kidding ourselves. In the end, decisions are personal and made with reasons but when it is obvious that a player is playing games with this allegiance talk, then such a player is not taken seriously by me.

That's my problem with some of them. They don't wanna take true responsibility for a decision that is entirely theirs. It is true Nigeria messed up in some cases but on Abraham and Tomori, Nigeria did her best and is completely innocent. Earthquake1: 2 Likes |

You may be right. Time will tell for Bukayo Saka. Let's see if the Arsenal fame gets to his head and makes him forget he is "Nigerian." ![]() The kid is getting the rave reviews and making the headlines even more than Nicolas Pepe himself. This is a test of where his allegiance truly will lie going forward. The one decision all of the foreign born Naija kids should have sorted before they hit stardom is their international allegiance. Let them ask themselves, if I am an Arsenal or Chelsea or Man City starter at age 18, 21 or maybe 23, and I happen to be doing so well and attracting interest from my adopted nation, England (or whichever it may be) and my blood nation, Nigeria... Which should I choose? Also, If I am not making the headlines at age 18, 21 or 23 in these big clubs, will my choice in the first question be the same? They should sort it out from the very beginning and stick to it. That way, we know you are committed to your decision from the onset. And not waiting to play poker or cards with nations based on club career progress. Earthquake1: 1 Like 1 Share |

Forget all the nonsense komekn said here when Osimhen was having a rough patch in Germany, listen to the man who knows the game - Ocampos da great. Luis Campos: The transfer chief with the Midas touch: Portuguese sporting director has helped unearth over £500m of footballing talent One of the most wanted men in football may not be the most familiar. Sporting director Luis Campos has unearthed over £500m worth of footballing talent during his time at Monaco and Lille, and in an exclusive interview with Sky Sports, gives a fascinating insight into his methods. His CV is quite something, helping unearth Kylian Mbappe, Nicolas Pepe, James Rodriguez, Anthony Martial, Fabinho, Bernardo Silva and Benjamin Mendy. The 55-year-old has been sporting director at Lille since 2017, helping them return to the Champions League after discovering some of Europe's best talents while at Monaco from 2013. Here, he talks through the key players he found, how he is determined to see players live - even for a few minutes - and whether he could be tempted out of Lille, having been linked with a number of European clubs over the summer, including Chelsea. VICTOR OSIMHEN His latest find, 20-year-old Nigerian forward Osimhen, has scored seven in 10 games for Lille, including against Chelsea last week. "I went to Lagos to see their preparation for the U17 World Championships. After one match I wanted him. But his price was very expensive for a 17-year- old. I spoke to my CEO. I called him every night saying, 'Please give me this player, he is amazing. In two years he will be one of the best in Europe'. "In the end the player went to Wolfsburg. I went to Wolfsburg just to see him play. Sometimes he only played for five minutes, sometimes only two. I was crazy for him! Then he had a virus and had five or six months not playing and went to Charleroi in Belgium. Two months later I signed him. So itʼs a nice story. I lost the player but then got him back. "If all is normal at the end of the season there will be a big move for him because he's like a cat. You know, if you have a cat and give it a ball! Heʼs unbelievable. In the last 20 metres he attacks every ball. Every ball. Like a cat." I must commend Rohr here for seeing same thing Ocampos saw, that made both men stick with the boy even when things were not going quite well for him due to ailment. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

As the friendly game against Brazil gets closer, these are the areas i observed in the last game against Ukraine that needs improving. * There was plenty of space in front of our back four through which the opponent explored from time to time. * Slow reaction from our full backs. *Occasional lapse in concentration by Aina. * Observed wide gap between the two Centrebacks which made the opponent to be slicing through them as their striker made runs on their blind side. * Opponents not quickly closed down in the latter part of the game in midfield. * Selfish play from the right winger. * And Iwobi's poor shots at goal. 1 Like |
