i have never been against attacking football for our team but warning that it is not ideal when we are facing the best in world football. we can do that against weak european,south american and african teams but not against the likes of brazil,holland,france,england etc jihday: 1 Like |

charlesemeka85: bro balogun Is one of the ball playing defending Nigeria have Leon Balogun Pleased After Showing Off His Impressive Ball-Playing Skills Published: September 04, 2016 Mainz 05 stopper Leon Balogun has spoken of his happiness after the Super Eagles defeated Tanzania in their final African Cup of Nations qualifier in Uyo to earn their first three points of the qualifying campaign, bearing in mind that the victory over Chad was later nullified. The central defender showed off his impressive ball-playing skills, put in an almost flawless display so much so that the yellow card he picked up in the closing minutes did not take the shine off his contribution during the game. “Great way to say farewell to #AFCON2017 & start our preparation for the WC qualifiers! Uyo, u’ve been amazing, thx for ur support 2nite ����, ’’ Balogun commented on Twitter. Balogun and his new partner in central defense William Troost-Ekong helped Wolves goalie Carl Ikeme post his second shutout of the AFCON qualifiers. Nigeria finished second in their group with five points in the kitty after four matches. i hope I've made myself clear |

elyte89: Egypt were too predictable at the AFCON with their "pass to Salah" tactic... Plus,they didn't really have a fantastic team.. That being said,I think Rohr got his tactics against South Africa spot on...probably the only game at the AFCON where his tactics were effective.. |

Subzero047: Pep Guardiola says Jurgen Klopp is world's best attacking coach Pep Guardiola has called Jurgen Klopp's attacking tactics as the best in the world and agrees his brand of football is "heavy metal". The Manchester City boss paid a glowing tribute to his former Bundesliga nemesis ahead of Saturday's Premier League showdown at Anfield. The managerial pair have won league titles in Germany and after eight meetings between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, the final score was four apiece. Having witnessed Liverpool's 4-1 demolition of Stoke in midweek, Guardiola was full of praise for the Reds. "Our styles are not similar but I like a lot the way they play," the Spaniard said. "Maybe Klopp is the best manager in the world at creating teams who attack the back four with so many players, from almost anywhere on the pitch. "They have an intensity with the ball and without the ball, and it is not easy to do that. They attack wide sometimes with [Nathaniel] Clyne and [James] Milner but they especially like to attack from inside, through the middle. Pep Guardiola says Yaya Toure has performed outstandingly since his return following his side's 3-0 victory "I don't think there is another team in the world attacking in this way with so many players capable of launching moves in an instant." Guardiola will be desperate for his side to deliver in front of their visiting fans. They will start the game in third spot, one point behind their second-placed opponents and seven points behind leaders Chelsea. He will be carefully plotting how to get one over his former adversary and admitted he had learned a lot when Bayern first came up against Klopp's Borussia Dortmund. "I was new and it was 'wow', what a good lesson," Guardiola added. "We lost 4-2. Afterwards in the league I learned a bit more about how to control those situations but it was never easy. "When Klopp speaks about his football being heavy metal, I understand completely. It is so aggressive. For the fans it is really good. "Our styles are not similar but I like a lot the way they play, for the spectators, because in three or four seconds they are attacking." Go and meet pep and argue with him kojubelo |

Subzero047: As I said, it could be system hindering some players. Ndidi is no more average on the ball. He has pulled out some brilliant performances. Iwobi has shown some excellent touches of the game, workrate and insane passes that have left many breathless. Etebo might be average on the ball but in a good system, you just need order in play and doing things simply. Etebo also has the penetrating runs that can cause teams problem. A coach with the right philosophy and system can get brilliance from our midfielders. Ekong, I repeat was brilliant at the Olympics. He distributed brilliantly. |

Subzero047: Being homegrown is key when it comes to finding unpolished gems in the local grounds. Players who have an idea of where to find possible brilliant stars to complement our ever-growing array of talents outside. As for working under Westerhoff is also important being both players players worked in an offensive system that Nigeria thrived in and believe we can do big things if we apply ourselves the right way. |

Subzero047: I disagree with Klopp being counter attacking because in almost every game he plays, apart from some City games, he is on the front foot and dominates the game. |

charlesemeka85: Ball playing is also not long range passes alone but coordinated passing with the defenders and midfielders. Yes, the likes of Van Dijk, Laporte and Bonucci are masters at the long play but it is not a criteria of ball playing. Sometimes Ramos can be atrocious with the long balls. Wasting loads, but it does not take away fro his ball playing capabilities. Even Guardiola cut down a lot of the long ball showmanship of Laporte. How many times do you see Pique trading long balls. Does not mean he is not a ball playing defender. A ball playing defender is one comfortable on a high line defense and can be a big part of the build up play. |

Subzero047: All teams counter attack but when you want to classify them, it is on their strengths. When Liverpool play, they are hardly on the back foot. No matter the team. We can term them a counter attacking side. Real Madrid is difficult but if they meet Barcelona today, you can guess which side will do more of the defending. Real Madrid. But if Barca meets Liverpool, I bet it will be Barca on the back foot. |

charlesemeka85: When we are playing South Africa we should be brave enough to take on them. If we continue with this mentality, we would be in the back foot against Madagascar. |

charlesemeka85: Short term results is a mirage from true success. Benin Republic will remain on the back foot and in later tournaments, you will see Morocco flying. Our problem is that we never have a long term plan. That is why single results mean a big deal. Spain got knocked out in the first round in France 98. Years later, they won the Euros twice and the World Cup. That was because you could see in France 98 they were on their way to something special. |

jihday: Can we play attacking football? Of course we can but it depends on opposition. Top teams will skin us if we dare it. If we think our wingers are fast, we should not get carried away. Top teams have defenders who'd neutralise them. 2 Likes |
