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

sureleads: 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. 1 Like |

komekn: 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. 1 Like |

Mujtahida: 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. 2 Likes 1 Share |

charlesemeka85: 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. 2 Likes |

charlesemeka85: 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. 1 Like |

charlesemeka85: 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. |

Sugarboyy: 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. 1 Like |

Sugarboyy: 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. 1 Like |

charlesemeka85: That is my beef with his management. They still look at pay first. If they prioritized playing patterns, I believe they would have landed a team that will favor Kelechi Nwakali in the long run. 1 Like |

Sugarboyy: 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. 2 Likes |

Sugarboyy: 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. 1 Like |

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. 1 Like 1 Share |

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. 1 Like 1 Share |

komekn: 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. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

opamoses1: 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. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

MyVILLAGEpeople: Even Okocha will not argue. Okocha, Amokachi and some other Super Eagles players endorsed Abacha. They were even present in the Youths Earnestly Ask for Abacha (YEAA) March in March, organized by Daniel Kanu. Okocha endorsed Abacha. |

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: βShe shagged a pro footballer.β These women got no chill. 4 Likes |
