Good news i thank God for him
A cameo against Verona will be okay for him……At most 15 minutes to build up match fitness for Tuesday’s show down at the maradona….. something tells me we have not heard the full story of that quarter final encounter yet…… Osimhen might just have another chapter to write in Napoli’s magnificent ferrytale this season so far.
having watched both Gift Orban and Boniface today , let me give my verdict on the two players. both are good players but I think Gift Orban should start from U23 like Osimhen did before he was gradually introduced ti the main national team. However Boniface is the real deal for the super eagles. He is the Nigeria version of Lukaku. The guy is really strong and composed and can also play from the midfield and left flank.
He just saw a goal right now , no wonder Napoli and Ac Milan are interested in him.
which under 23?? you no qualify for anything at under 23 you have to wait for another four years??
i feel the same about victor boniface, he is ready for the super eagles. he has a lot of speed, skill and technique. a modern day john utaka, might prove to be better than johnny if handled right.
Gift orban still needs to work his way up.
He is ready, they are ready, they will show up and start playing garbage.
They play garbage because Nigeria gave them garbage to play on a garbage field. Something is wrong with Nigeria and not the players . A good administrator will seek to know why these players perform exceptionally in Europe but flatter in Nigeria. Football is not rocket science.
I’m still scratching my head to see how Napoli can overturn this tie, but I’m not seeing it. AC Milan in powerhouse in this competition. I really hope I’m wrong because of Osimhen, but it will be very difficult without Angussa and Min Je.
**is a powerhouse**
Napoli absolutely dominated Milan in that match …….Ball possession,Shots on target, corners, and the rest……1:0 is too open a score line to write Napoli off just yet…..Napoli will definitely play an open game in the Maradona on Tuesday….I expect alot of goals from either team which means a slight swing in any direction can give the game to any team.
Risking your career for Nigeria is never worth it bro, next time play more with ur brain, be less aggressive, the world is awaiting ur arrival. Don’t allow Nigeria to derail ur dream.
