'We Are Looking For Strikers For Senior Team' - Ex-Schalke Star Tips Bayern's Nigeria-Eligible Striker Zirkzee For Netherlands Call-Up


Ex-Schalke striker and Netherlands international Youri Mulder believes Bayern Munich wonderkid of Nigerian descent Joshua Zirkzee could be rewarded with a call-up to the Dutch senior squad ahead of the 2020 European Championship.

Aged 18, Zirkzee came off the bench to score two match-winning goals in his first two appearances in the German Bundesliga - against Freiburg and Wolfsburg - with his first contact with the ball on both occasions.

Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman is reportedly looking for offensive reinforcements following the injuries suffered by Lyon's Memphis Depay and PSV's Donyell Malen.

Speaking to German newspaper Bild, Mulder said : "An incredible story for the boy personally, but also for us Dutch.

"After the serious injuries of our top goalscorer Memphis Depay (cruciate ligament rupture) and Donyell Malen (knee injury), we are looking for strikers for the senior team.

"And if Zirkzee continues to develop like this, he will definitely become a topic soon."

Former Feyenoord youth-teamer Zirkzee has earned caps for Netherlands U15, U16, U17, U18 and U19 national teams.

Una no dey tire for this Una Zakzazki matter?

Come bros whats your own, we are talking about blooding them in young, you dey here dey talk about oldie wey go soon retire

chaiii

Who are the scouts of Nigeria's Super Falcons team that a 29 years old Emuidzhi Oghiabekhva is still waiting for her first call up?

Imagine that and some people wants Rohr that is bringing her counterparts from everywhere out of Nigeria and the super eagles

For a player that has played 80 club games with a staggering 106 goals, 72 starts and 8 substitute appearance erring 4 times on yellow card to her credit since 2009 is more than decent enough for the super Falcons indeed

I still don't know why Barca is not going for Ndidi. With almost all their MFs in their 30s... Ndidi won't be that bad. Forget about philosophy and playing pattern.

Where in the contxt of what you posted was it stated, or relate to it?

You looking for holes where there is none

Kbs468:
Sheyishemba, can you see pinnick's plan now.

You that said he has no plans to force Rohr to include home based players into the super eagles list when drafted by Rohr in relation to the new contract now.

may be true sha . And they got some insane talent in their academy to fill some holes in the first team.
I watch their U10 team in the just concluded LA liga promises... o boy, I was blown away. I doubt tiki taka will ever go into extinction.

Of course we equally needs to give her the opportunity of doning the Green White Green colours of Nigeria too before retirement

And give her something cheerful internationally as a professional footballer she is.

Our Edo sister needs and deserves to be capped please

Tiki taka wont oooo, just as you already said

I doubt if a true female would use the moniker Softbreast though.

But why the choice of your moniker please because you gender isn't reflected and I believe it is definitely deliberate just to call for attention like I am doing presently

wayodude:


Stats from playing for the Barca equivalent of the Austrian league abi. Okay o.

lol

Eartquake1:


Pepe is very overrated

He's a 25 million player at his best

lol

Kbs468:

Let's just give him the benefit of doubt for being his first season and start rating him from next season as most players do not usually click at once like that.

Besides, it could be the same thing with his time at Lille during his first season as well too

I dont know if he started so good at lille but just remember that lille didnt get him for 75 million

If 75 million is being paid for you, you need to click immediately ,not till after you have playd 50 epl games

La liga can even forgive you for flopping , but the epl will not, the media wont even help issues

Make pepe no improve and make season end, just watch wetin media go dey talk

Nah till somebody use HARDNIMPLES, you go sure say nah gal?

Infact wetin carry ya eyes go dia sef

Forget. Some guys usually pretend to be females on Nairaland ooo and Softbreast didn't indicate any gender.

About wetin Carry my eyes go there? Hmmmmn. I was just reading to the last post on the said page oo and my eyes just bombed into the list of online monikers ooo

minfelix:
Watching Amaju pinnick on tvc sport, u wil know that man has good intentions for Nigerian National teams esp super eagles

It's like you don't know Nigeria politicians
They always appear to have good intentions on the TV but their actions and the end results shows the contrary

Any update on the Rohr situation?

Whatever happened to a certain Taiwo Awoniyi that played for the U17s at the early 2010s.

Any update on the Rohr situation?

Forget about Rohr, he is history now

Nigeria: Why Nigerian Football Is Not Growing - Pinnick


30 DECEMBER 2019

Daily Trust (Abuja)

The President of Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick has blamed the domestic football leagues for the dwindling fortunes of the round leather game in the country.

Speaking during a media parley in Lagos, Pinnick said football cannot grow until the leagues are revamped.

The former CAF 1st vice-president blamed the parlous state of Nigeria's leagues on a lack of TV coverage and attendant revenues but said the Federation is working to "remedy the situation".

"Every league depends on money accruing from television rights for survival. Ours cannot be different.

"We will look at where we got it wrong and see how we can remedy the situation.

Our football cannot grow to our potential if we don't get the local league right," he added.



It will be recalled the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) recently signed a multi-year TV deal with China's Next TV details of which are yet to be fully revealed.

Similarly, Pinnick said the sports minister, Sunday Dare has every right to speak on the performance as the head of sports in the country.

"Don't forget the minister is the chief sports officer of the country. We don't feel bad he spoke his mind on the state of football in Nigeria.

"We believe his intervention is bound to be a wakeup call for us and the players," he said.

He also revealed that preparations were in top gear with Nike to commence the design of new kits, starting with the 2022 World Cup qualifying matches in March.

"We're launching a new set of kits for the World Cup qualifiers in March," Amaju disclosed.

the only thing I can take from this report is that we are finally getting new kits
