Little Round-up:


▶️So Francis Uzoho completed the Naija Goalkeepers Clean sheet sweep in Europe this weekend as he kept another Clean sheet in his side's 2-0 Triumph.

Uzoho's stats in all Competitions:

- 13 games played (10 league games; 3 cup games)
- 10 goals conceeded.
- 5 clean sheets.

Super Eagles' Super Boy is doing well. Just like Our Super Eagles' German Wall in Okoye. wink


▶️SADIQ "Sadika" Umar played 90mins while Kelechi Nwakali played 81mins as both their sides played out a goalless draw. I saw the game and enjoyed it very much. Almeria should have won it and I wanted them to win it to have some gap over Mallorca but we'll, it was not to be.

SADIQ had a good game but just couldn't get a goal. He should have had a penalty too late in the game but the ref and VAR check thought otherwise. He was the player with the fifth most covered distance for Almeria and clocked a speed of 32 km/hr in the game.
Sadiq's mobility and quick feet was on show as usual and even once came face to face with Nwakali and he beat Nwakali with an exquisite swift piece of skill to keep the ball. If you check the stats you will see that Nwakali was dribbled past once... Well, that once was courtesy of the man SADIQ Umar. wink
Sadika had 4/5 take ons completed (80%).


Kelechi Nwakali on the other hand had a really good game. He was Alcocorn's midfield conductor and simply dictated their plays. He finished as the best midfield player for Alcocorn and also went for a long range effort from the middle of the pitch which was comfortably caught by the Almeria keeper. He is right now Alcocorn's midfield leader and just keeps getting better with more games in La Liga Smartbank.
His stats read 100% take on success (3/3), 100% long balls accuracy (3/3), 90.6% passing accuracy, 1 shot on target, 2 interceptions, 4 tackles.

In all, Both players played well and saw their sides share the spoils.



▶️Jamilu Collins returned to the Starting XI as expected and played all 90 as his side, Paderborn secured a 2-0 away win over Afeez Aremu's FC St.Pauli in the Bundesliga 2.
Afeez Aremu played the second 45 mins.


▶️Tosin Kehinde played all 90 for Randers FC in the Danish Super Ligaen as his side played out a 1-1 away draw at AGF. He had 100% take on success (3/3), 4 tackles, 2 shots off target and a passing accuracy of 69.7%. A tough game but he was one of the bright sparks for his side.



TheSuperNerd:
Meanwhile later today,


▶️La Liga Smartbank

SADIQ Umar (Almeria) vs Kelechi Nwakali (Alcocorn) - Home game for Almeria.

New Super Eagles invites, SADIQ, will be looking to extend his goals count for Almeria in all Competitions from 16 to higher numbers and also to help Almeria climb to a solid second on the table.

K.Nwakali has been in good form for Alcocorn and has become their midfield linchpin but today I hope SADIQ scores and Almeria edges for La liga Promotion sake. grin Nwakali and co have subsequent games to make up for a possible loss today. wink


▶️Cypriot Prothatlima Cyta

Francis Uzoho (APOEL Nicosia) vs Karmiotissa Polemidion - Home game.

Super Eagles' Super boy, Francis Uzoho will be looking to follow in the footsteps of Super Eagles' German Wall and Teammate, Maduka Okoye and New kid on the block, Matthew Yakubu who kept clean sheets over the weekend.


▶️Danish Super Ligaen

Tosin Kehinde of Randers FC away at AGF. Looking to extend his good stats of 1 goal + 5 assists. Been arguably Randers' best player this season.



▶️Bundesliga 2

Jamilu Collins and Chima Okoroji (Paderborn) away at FC St.Pauli who has Afeez Aremu in their ranks.

Collins likely to start if available. Wasn't on the matchday squad for their last game. Although he started the game before the last game with Okoroji on the bench. In Collins' absence last time, Okoroji started.

Afeez Aremu likely to start from the bench for St.Pauli.



▶️Portuguese Segunda Liga

Marcus Ayomide Abraham (CD Feirense) away at CD Mafra.

Marcus will be looking to extend his scoring run as well as lead his side to victory in his side's push for promotion to the Portuguese Primeira LIGA NOS.




▶️Israel State Cup - Gavia haMedina - Round of 16

Hapoel Kfar Shalem vs Hapoel Katamon Jerusalem.

A Naija lad is getting close to promotion to the topflight in Israel with his side, Hapoel Katamon Jerusalem. Adebayo Adeleye is his name. A Goalkeeper mentioned here on several occasions before.

His league stats read 24 games played, 13 goals conceeded, 15 clean sheets.

Today, he will star in a cup game for his side.

Seems some players have been jumping ship from England to other countries. Asides Musiala, players like Musah of Valencia and Che Adams of Southampton have joined USA and Scotland respectively.

TBH, England has so many talents at the moment. Asides musiala. Those other players would find it very difficult breaking into the three lions.

Seriously??

Hope you know that having CR7 comes with a guarantee of at least 20+ goals in a season. How many other players can you trust like that??

1. No surprises here. Kelechi Iheanacho in Whoscored EPL TOTW as a perfect 10. Absolutely unplayable performance.

2. Michael Olise also made the Skybet/EFL Championship TOTW. No goal, no assist this weekend but lad laid on 4 key passes. Completed 3/4 dribbles(take ons), made 2 interceptions + 3 tackles, completed 3/4 long balls, had one shot on target and had an 80.8% passing accuracy.

With Samuel Kalu out and Moses Simon rumoured to be probably out too, if i were the coach-Gernot Rohr, the trio of Ndidi, Etebo & Aribo would play in the middle while Iwobi would play on the left wing to replace Simon. I would pick Chukwueze on the right wing with Osimhen as the striker. In defence, Ekong & balogun would keep their place while Awaziem and Zaidu would maintain their fullbacks position. Uzoho would be in goal of course to counter any aerial threat for the benin players are tall & big judging from the first leg encounter.

Off topic. One of my biggest what ifs is Yannick Bolasie and his tragic injury. IMO he could have been up there with the Mane's and Salah's. Man was a baller
