Promoted Nwakali dreams of Super Eagles invitation, move to Barcelona



Former Nigeria U-17 national team captain, Kelechi Nwakali, still dreams of taking his game to the highest level.The 2015 U-17 World Cup winner just started playing regularly in Europe five years after leading Nigeria to the title in Chile.

While his mates like Samuel Chukwueze and Victor Osimhen, are commanding rave reviews in Europe, Nwakali just gained promotion to the Spanish La Liga from the second division with Huesca. It has not been the type of career many pundits predicted for the lad when he became the best U-17 player in the world in 2015.

But now that his career seems to be stepping up, he does not want to let go.Nwakali wants to return to the international scene with the Super Eagles, while working hard to attract the attention of his dream club, FC Barcelona.

Speaking at the weekend, Nwakali said he is now ready for the Super Eagles, adding that Huesca’s promotion has now given him the opportunity to play against the big boys once again.

He noted that playing football in the top league has been his career aspiration as a young footballer, saying, “I am delighted that my club has gained promotion to the Spanish La Liga. It was not easy for my team at the second division because of the quality of teams at that level.

“I was only able to play in five games because I had Spanish visa issues. My focus now is to work hard to play regularly when the league resumes.” Nwakali, who has watched over the years as his mates, Chukwueze and Osimhen have cemented their positions in the Super Eagles team, believes it is only a matter of time before he joins them.

“I believe when Coach Gernot Rohr needs me, he will invite me. I speak with him at times and I know my time will soon come.

“I am delighted that my team mates, Victor Osimhen and Samuel Chukwueze are doing well in Super Eagles. My aspiration is to join them in the team. They understand my kind of play and we connect very well on the pitch,” he said. Nwakali also revealed that his childhood desire is to play for Barcelona FC some day.

"I have always hoped to play for Barcelona FC some day as a young footballer. But in life, you must start somewhere to achieve your dream. I am delighted that I am now a player in the Spanish top league.

“Giving my best to my club remains the priority now. As a young footballer, I aspire to play like Kanu Nwankwo and Yaya Toure because I fancy their style of play.”

In the current Super Eagles team, Nwakali picks Oghenekaro Etebo as his ideal player, saying, “His dedication and commitment to national team duties delights me. My stay under Coach Emmanuel Amuneke in the Golden Eaglets team has prepared me for everything I am facing now in my career.”

Did you watch their game against Chelsea?

Without the goal, he was the best player.

With the goal, he was the best player.

Probably not world-class yet. But one of the most gifted central midfielder in the world. It's a pity that he plays for a country like Guinea.

C-B Tips Stars Update

Tammy Abraham: "Timo Warner first training is something that makes me feel like we are in for a good time with Chelsea next season . The way he strikes the ball towards goals is inspiring. He hardly misses the target. I see close margins between the top six Premier league teams next season. Just by looking at him you feel like a League Champion already"

Bench will hit him so hard next season if he doesn't get back on his feet

komekn:


Ayew has had 16 goals and 7 assists he is not even a striker. By the way he chose to stay at Swansea after the £20 million transfer.

He was sold to Swansea after 43 EPL games over two seasons and 9 goal, several assists and he is not a striker. Not good enough they felt.

KC has had 70 EPL games over 3 seasons and 9 goals.

Do you really think KC is better❓

It doesn't change the fact that your opinion of rohr reeks of racism

Thanks

Key component of quality is CONSISTENCY this has been his biggest problem.

TheLoneCitizen:


Why do add the assists for Ayew twice but don't do the same to Iheanacho at all? 11 assists swings this discussion.

You mean Timo Warner

IDENNAA:
People like to barge in here and throw baseless criticism on Nwakali but fail to take account of the many underlying issues that may have contributed to his setbacks of which he had no control over.

According to Nwakali, he was able to play only five games no thanks to visa issues.

Abraham obviously

Suggest someone naa.

IDENNAA:


How many minutes has Nacho played of the 70 EPL games.

TheSuperNerd:
Nigerian forwards in the European Top 10 leagues.

Six of them reached double figures in all competitions despite:

- Osimhen still having 10 more league games to play.

- Iheanacho playing mostly as a backup striker.

- Chidera Ejuke playing predominantly as a LW.

We have a generation of Attacking talent ready for business. Coach Rohr has no excuse.

The criticism isn't baseless
He was on the bench in 6 of the last 11 matches that huesca played so I don't know where Visa issue came from

You don't have a right to play you earn the right to play by your performances.

If you perform you play more you don't perform you play less. It's very simple.

Minutes is not the issue.

komekn:


Currently Timo is untested in the EPL and we know it is much easier to score in the Bundesliga than it is in the EPL.

So Timo has much more to prove than Tega and you don't expect any player to not hype his own team mates.

Who is the top goal scorer in Chelsea with 15 goal and three assists ❓ Tega is already proven and he cost them how much❓ Who has been the highest goal scorer for Chelsea in the past three seasons.

IDENNAA:


That is because he joined them very late because his visa was delayed. If he had started the season with them then your logic would make sense. Let the boy have some peace and play his game , biko

We talk about the HERE and NOW about player who are actually perfoming and being outstanding.

Not about players we hope will perform one day in the future.

Why are people selecting played not on merit but sentiment. And they will say that somebody is biased. They will even misrepresent matters to push forward untruths.

Irrespective if a players problems or issues they are irrelevant. The issue is consistent top quality continous Perfomance.
