Osimhen is not better than Haaland tho


Haaland stats are way better, in fact he has some of the best stats in the world currently, but he doesn't have enough games yet. To buttress, Haaland has very similar stats to ex-dortmund striker Paco Alcacer who had 18 goals in 11 starts compared to Haaland's 13 in 11. Paco Alcacer had the best stats that time.

When Osimhen plays for Napoli who are at the same level with Dortmund, we'll compare with Haaland's first full season. Goals are great but there are other aspects of games that makes one a complete player.

Fantastic. I was almost giving up on him. He has been on the bench since the league restarted after covid-19. Glad the way he is doing well.

Meanwhile Alhassan Mu'azzam will play in the portugues premier league next season. His team (cd nacional) has been promoted

They retired because of non football reasons.

Otherwise currently IGHALO is the best striker we have no contest. And nobody is clearly better than V.M.

Oh, Osimhen came to sell fried fish and roasted plantain in the SE I believe.

Oliseh on Osimhen
Joebie:
Oliseh on Osimhen. Interview with RFI
Sunday Oliseh: "Nigeria has had no player of the caliber of Osimhen since Yekini"

Sunday Oliseh is a former midfielder emblematic of the great Nigerian national team of the 1990s. He was also the coach in 2015-2016 of the "Super Eagles". At the time, Victor Osimhen had already caught his eye. Today, for RFI, the former resident of Ajax Amsterdam, Juventus Turin and Borussia Dortmund says all the good he thinks about the Prix Marc-Vivien Foé 2020.

RFI: Sunday Oliseh, Victor Osimhen is the winner of the Prix Marc-Vivien Foé 2020 which rewards the best African player in the French Championship. Are you surprised that it is ahead of more experienced players like the Algerian Islam Slimani (2nd), the Moroccan Yunis Abdelhamid (3rd) or the Senegalese Mbaye Niang (5th)?

Sunday Oliseh: First of all, I would like to congratulate Victor Osimhen on being elected winner of the Marc-Vivien Foé Prize. This trophy is important since it rewards the best African player in the French Championship. It is important for us Africans.

I find his victory even more surprising when we see the competitors that Victor had to surpass to win this title. Many people will wonder if he deserves it, if he is stronger than these players. But what Victor has done this season is truly exceptional. Thanks to him, his team managed to make a magnificent season.

I think Victor frankly deserves it because he brought a lot to his club. We really saw the difference when Victor was on the field and when he was not. We see the possibilities he offers his teammates to go forward. We also see the weight it places on enemy defenses.

He won the Marc-Vivien Foé Prize, succeeding players like Gervinho, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Vincent Enyeama and André Ayew. Is Victor Osimhen a player of the same caliber as them?

Many people wonder. I think Victor even has qualities that these players don’t have. He is young and I’m almost certain he’ll be leaving the French Championship in the near future. Because, all over Europe, they talked about him. His ex-club in Germany [Wolfsburg, where Osimhen failed to win, Editor's note] must be moaning because they realized they had lost a quality player. Victor is a player of the future. He deserves this consecration.

He was the top scorer in Nigeria’s Under-17 World Cup when you coached the Super Eagles in 2015-16. Did he catch your eye at the time?


When I was coach, I was trying to assemble a new team. In fact, the basics of the current national team are made up of players that I have put together. For me, it was important to have young people from the future who were hungry for national team matches.

Victor Osimhen was playing at the U17 World Cup at the time. I had watched the meetings with my assistants, including the final won by Nigeria. He did it with such ease, the way he eliminated his opponents.

We planned to invite him to the national team. But I left the selection. Otherwise, I would have invited him. Because, since Rashidi Yekini left the selection, we have not had a player of the caliber of Victor Osimhen. My plan was to integrate it slowly into the "Super Eagles", to give it a few minutes, before launching it 100% as we did with Wilfred Ndidi or Alex Iwobi at the time.


Can it be the top level center forward that Nigeria has sometimes missed to be at the top?

Even today, the Nigerian team is strong. We have very good players. But we’re missing a few key players, especially in offensive animation. I think that after what Victor has done this year, his presence is going to be something wonderful for the national team. I'm optimistic. I think it will solve the problems we have, in terms of finish, penetration, movement. It will allow midfielders to play directly forward.

A last word to address to Victor Osimhen?

Frankly, congratulations Victor! You deserve it. But I advise you my little brother to always remain humble and ambitious at the same time. Stay professional and good luck. Congratulations again, little brother!

Story

A team that has always been making it to the quarter or semi of the champions league every season and win trophies every year and yet you are comparing them to ac millan

Baba try Dey follow European football because na super eagles only you Dey follow

Thank you

Make I de follow European football? How much them go pay me.

You didn't even understand my point.

Almost all your top performers are in their thirties, now you guys have swapped a younger Arthur for a 30 year old Pjanic.

Remember AC Milan had:

Dida
Cafu
Nesta
Seedorf
Pirlo
Inzaghi
Gattuso
And the rest and were bossing Europe, what happened when age caught up with them?

I honestly don't rate Ejaria highly, he over elaborates without end products. A dribbler that hardly give an assist, score or win a penalty is an aimless dribbler, such players disrupt attacks and flows of games.

If Messi retires and this present Barca board are still in place, Barcelona will not only nosedive but will become lesser than Getafe. But if a new board comes in and Xavi is appointed and with his plans of going back to Barca feeders to get players, I don't think Barca will fall to the level of even Valencia.

But seriously, this present Barca board is damn funny, ruling like Nigeria government, no single direction. How on Earth will this board spend 100+ million euro to purchase players like Coutinho, Dembelle and Griezman? The worst of all is selling a 23 years old midfielder and buying someone who is 30 to replace him while the board also keeps Rakitic and Vidal who are 30+
