The guy plays like a modern midfielder
Big, strong, intelligence, technical, etc, unlike Nwakali

From your description, Thiago Alcantara and Gundogan does not fit into a modern footballer. Even Iniesta.

Hilarious.

Really shameless. So KC cant fit in the English game because its kick and follow. How come he couldn't fit in the Spanish and Portuguese league enough to get a decent team??. It takes a bigger man to accept when he doesn't get it right...but lesser men will continue to hold on to their delusions till they go under.

If this is something I started talking about this season, then I can understand the backlash on me. However, I have hammered this for some time on this thread.

Do you expect Kelechi Nwakali to run up and down the field like Onyeka? No. He is not built to play that way. He is a prime high possession playing footballers.

It is simple logic. I wonder what is biting you guys.

When will you elder statesman here stop 🛑 this preposterous nonsense🤯🤯🤯

They didn't market him well.

I am dealing with a youth player who has no agent but there EPL clubs have put in a bid for him. He does his marketing on the football ⚽ field.

Dude please stop 🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑

A player in English league one and had made the bench once in 7 games 🙄🙄 wake up from this delusion.

The English League One player has history with England. It is easier to market him. This is basic knowledge. It is easier to market Kaden Braithwaite to an English Club than market a Nigerian born super star to England.

The coach has made his explanation clear as daylight. He is talking about Kelechi Nwakali not fitting into the ENGLISH GAME (KICK AND RUSH FOOTBALL). Kelechi Nwakali was never built for that kind of football.

Finito.

This is really a good and sober yet inspiring point. We have seen it time and time again how some players struggle under some coaches or clubs and then flourish under different clubs/coaches. Salah, Henry, De Bruyne are examples that come to mind.

My only reservation is that it's not KC's management that have to get him to play for a possession team. A possession team coach ought to get him to play for his team. We have seen how many times in football, a coach will say 'get me so and so player, I want him'.

Your quality must shine through for this to happen.

When Mikel pulled off a master class performance against Crystal Palace, during the match review, Graeme Sourness, former Benfica Manager said, he did not know Mikel Obi was capable of dominating the midfield in that manner. He was shocked at how good Mikel was.

If the coaches don't know Kelechi Nwakali's capability in mnemonic midfield play, they can't request for him.

That is where his management comes in. They need to give him the exposure by getting him to have a chance with a manager that suits his playing style. It is when he shines in such system that coaches will show interest.

Nwakali had no choice but to make do with what was available which is Barnsley

If he performed well as hyped here then in the portuguese top flight atleast a mid table club in the same league would hv signed him asap without hesitation mostly because he won’t cost them a dime

I posted Busquets' story. He might not have been known today if not that Guardiola noticed a tactical role that would make him flourish. A bad defender in the 3rd division of the Spanish league became one of the best players in the history of football.

Kelechi Nwakali's management needs to get him to play for a possessive manager, even if it is in a low division to make people notice his quality.

Does not change the point which you are running around. He needs to play for a possessive manager to let people see his quality. That is the job of his management. Clubs can't see or rush him if his talent is not shown.

That is why I started with his management. They have not marketed Kelechi Nwakali to his strength. Get him to play for a pure possessive manager. That is the only way to get his quality to show and get bigger teams to take notice.

Please remind us what special intelligence Nwakali has that Lukman and Rabiu that had in essence.

Match reading and watching movement of his teammates. Kelechi Nwakali does this in a flash. Almost without thinking. He reads and scans the pitch and knows the best place to send the ball.

I hope you watched Villareal vs Barcelona last week?
So many times, Pepe who plays as an attacker was seeing running back to help his team defend.
I think it's the olden players that weren't running like headless chickens, that's why you would always see the Xavi, Iniesta, even the same Busquets you mentioned manning their posts without going to become strikers or defenders from their midfield

What is the headless?

That is when you understand. It is less thought.

Describing players running to defend is not headless.

Understand the concept.

Also, to defend in the modern game, you can achieve a lot with play reading than just running. Watch how many times you see Manuel Akanji running back to defend. That is because of his exceptional positioning.

Even though I don't modern way of play in football, we have to tell ourselves the truth, since running round the pitch like headless chickens is what's expected of modern footballers, Nwakali should train himself for such.

This season, some youngsters in Barcelona like Marc Bernal, Cassado and their likes who are naturally like Busquets in playing style adds physicality to their games.

Nwakali is not Modric that should be exempted from his team style of play.

If he is not ready or strong enough to play the modern game, he should retire or go to any obscure league anywhere in the world.

And concerning Nwakali management, you expected them to tell him not to Barnsley because the coach style might not suit him when the same Nwakali has always found it hard to get any decent club in Europe?

It's high time we tell ourselves the truth, Nwakali is not just good enough... Yeah, he might have some level of talent but there is no aspect of life where talent takes someone to the top 100%.

In of the same talent, he wasn't as talents as Rabiu Ibrahim or even Lukman Haruna, so make he go sleep

Lol. Lukman and Rabiu Ibrahim. Very funny dude. We are talking of intellectual play and you are talking Rabiu and Lukman.

Kelechi Nwakali can succeed in the game but he needs to work towards getting managers that suit him.

Look at Suarez playing for Ajax, Liverpool and Barcelona. Teams that have a history of the ing game. Nigerian players need to study coaches tactics before transfer. It can ruin careers. It is not about rushing to get a club.

First of all, the modern game is less running around like a headless chicken. That is why the likes of Xavi, Xabi Alonso, Thiago Alcantara, Gundogan, Jorginho, Xhaka etc could flourish.

The work rate comes when they lose the ball and even then, organization and team work is key.

Clarke likely is more in tune with the old way of doing things, that is why you can see the term fit into the English game.

What I am pointing out is that Barnsley's coach is more old school and drawn to the strength and running game. Not like a modern coach that would love intelligence and it is affecting Kelechi Nwakali.

If I am to advise Kelechi Nwakali, I will say he still falls in line with the coach philosophy. Improving in any area will still make him a better player.

I hope Kelechi Nwakali starts a running program. Make it a daily routine. Starts running slowly and build up his speed.

When Pep Guardiola was coaching Barcelona B, he was not satisfied with his midfield and went to watch the 3rd division team to search for a midfielder.

Tito, his then assistant coach drew his attention to Busquets, who was playing as a defender. Tito criticized how weak Busquets looked. He also pointed out that Busquets was slow and a bad defender.

However, Guardiola pointed out that Busquets was intelligent and could weave out of pressure when he had it, hardly losing the ball.

He promoted Busquets to the B team of Barca, changed his position to a controlling deep midfielder and the rest was history. One of the best defensive midfielders of all time.

Nobody is bringing anybody down 👇🏿

I repeat when I said Solanke was a better out and out number 9 than KC. I got dogs abuse.

At the time Solanke was struggling and unable to make any kind of headway at Liverpool, then went Bournemouth but struggled initially. Nonetheless, l was clear he had far better attributes required to be a number 9 than KC. That was my view over 5 years ago.

What makes KC A FANTASTIC TALENT please 🥺

Just say Solanke is a brilliant talent. No need to say better than Iheanacho. They have both had windows that they did well.

Kelechi Iheanacho still has a good minute to goal ratio and has a history that shows he is a brilliant talent.

You don't win EPL player of the month by being weak player. Seems you have forgotten.

You are insinuating that Tinubu has US citizenship, yet he also has a US visa. You did not think this through.

You actually did not read through.

The documents released by CSU clearly showed that the person who went to the school is a US citizen. However, Bola Tinubu we know is not a US citizen. So you posting the visa, clearly shows he is not a US citizen and clearly not the one who attended CSU.

One general Nigerian practitioners against a plethora of emeritus academics from across the world.

You are indeed in clutching at straws

You should know there is a huge gulf between academic research and a singular practitioner.

How many academic journals has he published and been peer reviewed, what gives him credence. Oh he is Nigerian Doctor that's enough

You are showing your lack of knowledge to put it diplomatically.

No academic journal said a 20/21 years old had his wrist not completely fused.

The medical practitioner proved that fusion of the wrist occurs faster than assumed by your tumbo tumbo analysis.

The evening after she alleged that Mendy raped her in his cinema room, Woman 4 was seen hugging him at a Manchester nightclub, Chinawhite. The jury was shown CCTV footage of her approaching the footballer and dancing suggestively into him.

The defence focused particularly on one clip, where the woman could be seen posing for a photograph, apparently punching the air. The jury was told that the resulting photo was posted by a friend on social media. The caption read: “She shagged a pro footballer.”

These women got no chill.

You actually don't need to, if you have the intelligence to review and appraise an academic journal, then the answer is staring at you in the face.

But then again that skill set is not common place as several comments have proven here.

Well, Fear Women here means you should be extra careful when getting into intimate relationship with women else you & your career could be messed up. History is replete with such cases.

Whether Mendy is guilty or not is another cup of tea. cheesy

In this case, Mendy is innocent. The women lied against him. This excerpt will give you a hint. I feel for Mendy. The women are cold hearted.
