<b> German-Born Fullback Who Models His Game After Man City's Kyle Walker Pledges Future To Nigeria </b>


Wuppertaler SV defender Noah Salau has pledged his international future to Nigeria over his country of birth, Germany.

The 23-year-old was born in Haan, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany to a Nigerian father and German mom, and turned out for the youth teams of Fortuna Düsseldorf and Wuppertaler SV, then played for Turu Düsseldorf and FC Monheim, before returning to Wuppertaler SV in 2019.

Salau is close pals with German-born goalkeeper Maduka Okoye who has pledged his international allegiance to Nigeria and has been named in the latest Super Eagles squad ahead of Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Sierra Leone.

"I was born in Germany, my dad is Yoruba from Kwara State and my mother is German, " said Salau to allnigeriasoccer.com.

"It's my dream to play for Nigeria since I was little. My dad gave me Yakubu and Kanu's jerseys when he visited Nigeria.

"I watch Nigerian football and the players are very good when they are representing the national team.

"One of my friends is in the national team, Maduka Okoye, who played with my younger brother at Bayer Leverkusen.

"I want to represent my country even though I wasn't born there, my dad has told me good things about the country, I want to make my dad and family proud.''

Salau has cited Manchester City and England fullback Kyle Walker as his role model and picked former Leicester City striker Ahmed Musa as his favourite player in the Super Eagles.

"I am a fullback, can play from the left or right. I am very strong and fast.

"I model my game after Kyle Walker from Manchester City. At the moment my favourite Nigerian player is Ahmed Musa, he gives his all when he plays for the Super Eagles, " Salau concluded.

Nacho poor first touch let's him down this time.

He was rightly yanked off for Vardy who scores from the spot.

He has always had a poor first touch.

Nacho is third in the pecking order of the SE strikers after Osimhen and Dessers.

Nacho is not a natural no. 9. I said to myself while watching the game yesterday that Leicester better offload him and get a natural 9 as deputy for Vardy (I'm pretty sure Rogers will do this by summer).

Nacho should to Spain or France where they tap football. There he will be able to define his game.

kingphilip:
where were you when he made that recovery in midfield that led to the first goal?

Last night just wasn't his. But that isn't to say he contributed nothing to the team's performance.

I'm not sure Rohr would agree with you - pecking Nacho behind Dessers

Nacho is just making a return from being dropped by the same ROHR and Dessers has been a better striker.

Rohr is loyal to his players but not sentimental.

No I'm not. You stated that Rohr will not agree to pecking Dessers behind Nacho and I just proved to you that Rohr is not sentimental.

You have to compare the strength of the league and club...
Kelechi is playing at a much higher standard compared to this dessers of a guy...
I'm pretty sure Kelechi will hit twenty goals easily playing in the Eredivisie

Nigga we don't care, go get yourself a decent club before you dream about us

Now that seria A is suspended, how will the seria A teams playing champions league play there home games?

Look like there's is a power shift in women football in Africa just watch what zambia is doing to Cameroon in Olympic qualifier

SOME PPU NA MUMU NA..DEM GO JUST GO DEY USE MOUTH DEY SCORE GOALS FOR PLAYERS HERE...IF HE IS IN SO SO LEAGUE,HE WILL SCORE 20GOALS EASILY,IF HE IS IN DIS TEAM,HE WILL BENCH SO SO PLAYER...YEYE PPU

You also mentioned Rohr being loyal to some players, that's sentiments right there.

We saw Rohr play an ineligible Shehu in place of Ebuehi and it almost cost us the WC ticket.

I don't think I need to back up anything....
The PL is a much higher standard of competition.....
Kelechi also has shown in the past to be an adequate goalscorer......
I have seen the Eredivisie and some of the teams are really not up to standard

Eredivisie may not be at par with the premiership, but they play good football over there. Also, the league have produced great footballers down the years and I dont see that trend changing in the near future. Ajax vs Chelsea champions league was one crack of a match that I felt Ajax were abit hard done by as some crucial decisions didn't go their way.

As for Dessers, he has good vision for goals and good first touch. Mind you, a great player is always a great player regardless of the league he plays in.

More so, Kelechi may even move to Eredivisie and may not adapt to their kind of football,hence may not score much goals as u predicted. That is not my wish for him anyways!

Thoughts

Rohr on absence of NPFL players is in new list:


“There are local players we look out for but unfortunately we can't see them in CHAN cos we did not qualify.

“We have a lot of local players as sometimes I watch their games & I believe we can use the friendlies to test some of them."

this Haaland guy just looks like a racist bully in a video game

His facial features are so odd, everytime I see his picture, I don't know whether to laugh or marvel at it. I hope he looks better with age though, because there is still some baby fat to be lost on that face

I celebrate his lack of eyebrows though, a kin spirit indeed

Whaaat a keen sense of observation.

You are not just books, you are very intelligent.

Nne, i salute you.

Watched Vicmo at Inter, dude is washed up already. He has nothing special to offer this present team.

If Ighalo knows what's good for him, he should enjoy his retirement in peace. He left when the ovation was loud enough, there's no guarantee there'd be a repetition of same fortunes.

It took over 100 people getting infected in Italy to play behind closed doors, the whole of Africa has not even reached twenty cases of coronavirus, so, on what basis will the game be played behind closed doors?

You people just want to identify with a world epidemic so bad, did the world identify with Africa when Ebola ravaged it?

I repeat, on what basis will the game be played behind closed doors? The match is not even in Lagos, what concerns Asaba and Corona virus? No be every trending thing you must join, just to feel among

Mbappe with Corona virus. So bad.

Nottingham Forest and Olympiakos owner Evangelos Marinakis has tested positive for coronavirus.
