Nigeria Has A Problem

[@TheFutbolisto]

It has come to my attention that I have made a pretty bad mistake😅The Nigeria National Team is the Super Eagles and not the Super Falcons. The women's national team is the Super Falcons. I appreciate everybody that let me know, and I hope to not make the same mistake in the future👍 Enjoy the video😃

[@olisa633]

Super Falcons are the female national team. The men play for the Super Eagles. Thanks for the analysis.

[@TheFutbolisto]

My bad🤣

[@TopeA8]

The reason is because the Nigerian football system (for example scouts, academies) are better at identifying attacking talent (there is a formula that works) than midfielders for example. So because of this the other departments falter. It does not mean that the country produces more attacking raw talent. We are just bad at knowing a good midfielder when we see one. So expect the trend to continue like this for some time. Players like Osimhen were actually identified as good when they were under 10 years! We know how to spot forwards.

[@topenoel1931]

The village I did my NYSC bro, there are so many great midfielders there

[@TheFutbolisto]

If you guys started doing a better job of identifying midfielders and defenders. WOWWWW!!! Nigeria would be a force to be reckon with.

[@taiwookunade6194]

Nice videos but Nigeria has decent midfielders and defenders…Alex Iwobi of Fulham, Frank Onyeka of Brentford, Ndidi of Leicester, Joe Aribo of Southampton, Onyedika of Club Brugge, Alhassan of Antwerp, Fisayo of Hatayspor, Samson Tijani of Salzburg, Kelechi Nwakali, and many more…In the Defense, Ola Aina, Tyrone Ebuehi, Calvin Bassey, Osayi Samuel, Zaidu Sanusi, Semi Ajayi, Bruno Onyemaechi…Our only problem is the Goalkeeper

[@ofanah2074]

they are not at the level at the attackers!

[@benjaminfranklin374]

Guy apart from iwobi, all those players are reminant players

[@Biobele]

Formation = 3-2-5 Nigeria should play all out attack use 5 attackers Attack is the best form of defense With 5 solid goal scorers up front no team will be able to stop them from scoring since the goals can come from any of the 5 strikers. You can’t realistically mark 5 strikers. Nigeria does not have to keep clean sheets Just out score your opponents and win that’s all

[@TheFutbolisto]

Those are interesting tactics and an interesting formation🤣🤣🤣

[@DukeLemonade]

Not enough space on the pitch to play 5 strikers. They would get in each other's way. Maybe a 4-3-3 at best. but would require a good holding mid.

[@OTB1395]

The analysis at 6:42 is the correct one. It's a supply and demand problem. The greatest midfielders and defenders haven't been the most physical ones, they are the best trained ones. For the top leagues in Europe, there is no reason to look abroad, you can find an intelligent, teachable ball player at home and get them to Clairefontaine or La Masia. In attack you need raw talent to work off, so those are the players most likely to get scouted from Nigeria to go abroad. Obviously the academies in Nigeria are not at the same level as in Europe so it's hard to "produce" a home trained player on that world class level, in any position.

[@TheFutbolisto]

I agree 100%. Attackers usually have more raw athletic talent, where in order to be a high level midfielder or defender you don't really need to be the most athletic, but you have to have a level of football IQ.

This what I have been talking. You can't win trophy with only strikers. We currently parade the best strikers in Africa, curtesy of Victor Osimen and Boniface who are currently doing fine but we can't boast of same in our defense, midfield and goalkeeping department. Ndidi who is now the engine of our midfield is fading away, no wonder he is still in English division two. Same with Aribo who plys his trade in English division two. If we don't bring fresh blood into the midfield, defense and goalkeeping department we won't be able to compete with Africa best

[@TheFutbolisto]

Exactly, because if you guys improved the other positions on your team with those forwards you could compete with the best teams in the world. But you can't win with just amazing attackers though.

[@olaniyioduwole8277]

Peseiro should draft Lookman and kelechi as attacking midfielders who can score( Remember Kanu Nwankwo, Mutiu Adepoju, Jayjay Okocha)? This squad's midfielders i agree, are not at the level they are supposed to be, Peseiro should give chances to midfielders who want to fight for a call up. Solution: play high-quality friendlies, test new players, that's how Bruno Onyemaechi and Zaidu Sanusi made the team.

[@terrence344]

Yes so many attackers but the answer is simple,Victor osimhen is the best out of all the strikers

[@TheFutbolisto]

For sure, Osimhen is one of the best number 9s in the world. It will interesting to see if Victor Boniface can get to that same level!

[@TheFutbolisto]

Yeah, I don't know how that happened😅But I'm glad you enjoyed the video👍

[@elcapitan215]

One Reason why our Midfield and Defense is weak is because our players play for other countries, mainly England. Poor Development is also an issue. But Put Eberechi Eze, Fikayo Tomori, Bukayo Saka, and Michael Olise in that Super Eagles team and then the quality in Midfield and defense jumps up.

[@TheFutbolisto]

Very true

[@elcapitan215]

@TheFutbolisto Now, also add Manuel Akanji of Manchester City, who is a defender and Jamal Musiala of Germany, who is one of the finest young Midfilelders on the world today, and Karim Adeyemi, who can play as a winger and then you see the Skill drain I'm talking about.

[@kafilatbabatunde9211]

Eberechi Eze is not that good, he is not better than iwobi. He just shot himself in the leg by not obeying Nigeria call and play for England. He doesn't possessed the quality to undo Foden, Madison and like in the English team.
