    But really it’s good to be at the center of attention o as a player. Cos even without touching the ball the pressure is already on your opponent on how to handle you… LMAO!!!

    breaking news! – Odion Ighalo has been finally released by Al Shabab of Saidi Arabia to play at AFCON! He is off to Garoua in northern Cameroun on a private jet. Thanks

      Missing pieces in the jigsaw is Victor Osimhen, ighalo has nothing to proof in this tourney, we will definitely miss osimhen for sure.

    I would rather suggest a man-marking for salah. And I will assign that task to Awaziem. He is a kind of defender that has bride, and loves to bully as well.

    Just like how Tomori does in Milan shirt.
    Awaziem has speed and also good on aerial balls aswell.

    Just a tweak on how to tame salah.

    In conclusion, I sincerely do not see Mo putting up threat in this tournament.

    Mark my words.
