*THE DAY I EXCHANGED BLOW LAST*

It was in 2010, we were playing football and the ball went out of play, one guy (Lekan Salami) held on to the ball for some keepy ups rather than pass the ball back to us.

I got angry, I should have just carried the ball and continue play but my mind had a different motive...I believed I should be able to beat him (because he looked smaller than I was) I went into a physical scuffle instead.

Guys around didn’t bother to separate us because they believed Saheed should be able to beat him easily, so they were chanting, “Ẹ fi wọ́n sí lẹ̀ Sàíídìì máa náà“ (leave them, Saheed will beat him).

After a few exchange of punches; I was already in prayers that someone should try to separate us but they didn’t because they were believing that “Sàíídìì máa náà”

Wetin my eyes see that day... My mouth no fit talk am finish😭😭😭

I never exchanged blow since 2010.
I learnt the hard way

First of all, JESUS!

Secondly, how do you look at this comp and say Mourinho ruined him?

This is literally a regista with so much flair, flamboyance and dribbling that allowed him get into 10 zones.

Mikel was neither a heavy carrier nor a volume shooter. Mikel played in a midfield that had workhorses like Essien, Lampard and Ballack, and if he wanted to roam forward he had enough legs to cover for him, but he didn't have a nose for goal. He didn't score a lot and so couldn't play close to the striker (1 goal in this tourney against Switzerland was a PK). Neither did he have the relentless engine to be a box to box.

He was a metronome. And from this comp you can see his game was built around control, ball retention, evading opposition press, opening up passing lanes and dictating tempo. Which was why Mourinho usually threw him into matches when it became end to end and he wanted to regain control.

You can claim Mourinho ruined him, but I'd rather Mourinho was a visionary who saw where football was headed and profiled him correctly because this is literally a Rodri, Busi, Jorginho with more flair. Or a Paul Pogba with less carrying and shooting but with better ball security.

In a tournament that had Keisuke Honda, Quincy Owusu, Ibrahim Afellay, Ryan Babel, Burak Yilmaz, Nabil El-Zhar, Albiol, Juanfran, Llorente, David Silva, Fabregas, Zabaleta, Garay, Gago, Messi, Aguero, Freddy Adu, Rodallega, Falcao, Guarin, Ospina, Graziano Pelle, Rafinha, Filipe Luis, etc, as some of the players who eventually went on to have big careers, you can't count more than 10 of them that had a better career than Mikel.

In fact, only Messi, Aguero, Falcao, David Silva and Fabregas rank higher.

I do not agree with that statement in quote.

Firstly, you mentioned that there’s not really much difference, yet you went on to mention like 6 differences.

These tweets can be misleading if we do not consider the factors in play.

Whenever there are outliers, it doesn’t automatically render an hypothesis incorrect.

Can @olisaemeka_G mention 5 players that made this same jump in a very short period like 18 months to the premier league. Just 5 from Nigeria in recent times? I’ll be waiting.

Do you know how many players move from Nigeria daily? How many of them move to such level in 18 months?

Outliers do not mean what you’re saying has become a fact or applies generally. There is a big difference, a very big one between grassroots and professionals.

Even clubs are aware of this difference. Clubs sign these players and loan them. Brighton might push him to USG, their sister club, which is what they’ve done with players like Mitoma who came from Japan, for their development…but we all want to see Zodak in the prem as soon as possible. Even clubs are aware of the difference in levels, they’re not foolish I assure you.

Osimhen you referenced went to Wolfsburg from u17, but was loaned to Charleroi (difference in levels), for him to gain experience and get used to the high levels, so he can “make up” for that difference. After Charleroi, he still touched Lille, we know France is a good hub for young players, you could see he was ready from that point.

Boniface you mentioned, went to Bodo, then to USG, before he touched Germany (took him about 4-5 years). You cannot cheat those levels, if you do, you’re an outlier, and outliers do not represent the larger dataset. There’s a reason players go to Sweden, Norway, Belgium, and the likes to develop. In fact, if Zadok debuts in the premier league and hits the ground running, he’s in the higher class of outliers, because that is not common.

Again, those things you call structure, nutrition, etc, cannot be trivialised. The talent will be there, but you need time to meet up. We see many players get forced to play at a level higher than them, and that’s how their career disappears.

Haaland was tearing it at Salzburg, English teams came, they said No, he wasn’t ready for that level, let’s go to Dortmund first to develop further, before he was ready to rip the premier league off. If Haaland had come earlier and flopped, they’ll probably loan him away and that’s how the career declines. You know many examples of players that made that jump and couldn’t meet up the level.

Even professional leagues have levels, talk less of amateur to professional. I put it to you @olisaemeka_G, this is a wrong assertion. Outliers to not represent the larger dataset.

Big ups to Adidas mehn, this video is 100% sick

My favorite place was when he told Messi that he’s the back up just in case…Lamine and Bellingham couldn’t even look at each other too😂
