International break of the 2024 2025 season Nigeria March and um the Balon the all list that was just dropped yesterday and I am not alone my name Still Remains GP and I'm here with my striking partner UB welcome once again thank you very much and before we proceed we talk about um Nigeria match and they playing Ben this same Ben we in our group in World Cup qualifier Ben Rwanda they were both in our groups and we have them again in the afan qualifier and we saw the players invited our regular faces were there Victor Sim lukman but quickly let's run through to the invited players that we take on Ben and Rwanda respectively in goalkeeping position we have regular Stanley M we have Muka and we have obas obas sorry if I M your name obas in the defending position we have our reliable Captain William eong we have SIM a we have Calvin bassi we have olis we havea Bri o just withdrew and he has been replaced and we have Bruno in the Midfield position on the midfielders we have Alex iobi we have Frank OA we have alasan Yu W in The Bash RAF and in the attacking position we have our regulars lman we have Sam we have Victor we have Simon Moses and we finally Victor Bon face who is on this list that is not supposed to be on this list or who is supposed to be invited and not on this list I feel like should be allowed to rest after all the the transfer Saga we all know what happened with but this list has been dropped before oim Saga happened you can still pull people out we pull people out because okay let's just hope he starts he start B face over let's just say he's there to encourage the The Voice yes but up to this moment has not arrived to the camp up to this moment this video is has not ared to the camp so his likelihood he will not start but let's not be surprised if he comes just just come and they will start him but if you a coach after all the sagas surrounding toim will you start him for a crucial match like this never never give him time to just rest and know know everything I mean just few few days ago I mean few hours ago that he was announced that he's now will come we come to that properly yeah exactly so I think you just leave Sim out every other every other position I think we are I mean said he's going to give to be fair to M he has really improved for he has started well and started strong and I feel and I believe that he will give maali a good run for his money I doubt that I doubt that I feel like is very confident confident than he is so going to be number one what feels going to do we have problem with our coach Bruno labadia was announced by the nff at the early hours of last two weeks or last week Tuesday around 5:00 a.m. they announced BR laia and after 4 days seems that de didn't go through and we have to fall on again I mean I mean we are we are we are Nigeria we have a lot of issues like I didn't want to talk about this matter we have a lot of issues we keeping our de outside yes because this is this is just disgraceful is disgraceful because the reason he give like how how how do you listen toas like that that the officials are trying to trying to come on come on like this that's that's alleged to we know we know our country let's not just let's not our we know that this is these are things that happened like why why would he pull out if he already decided to be coach why would he pull out there's no other valid reason my even problem is bringing back usav [Music] inter fact this word they BST my head because we had over two months to to plan to replace yes to replace the outgoing coach since we no you know we said or the NFL feels the outgoing coach the former Umba manager outgoing coach FS after series of draws he played in the World Cup qualifier he couldn't or he can't qualify Nigeria they thought in their wisdom that he need to change the cach and when he left it took the Nigerian nff two three freaking months to get a new coach but we did not we waited to less than two weeks for the first qualifier of the afcon 2025 to replace to replace him with the Bruno labas Saga then few days they brought aav as inter coach take against Ben Republic and against Rwanda I mean who is been Republic's Coach G former Nigerian coach so um I I think I read somewhere that they said he's scared of three players who is scared of three players that's what that's what he said okay player so I feel like that's a A plus to us in a kind of way but no no no we I don't think I don't think we're going to lose the match I mean we not win not going to lose the match should I shock you yeah couple of months back we played this same Ben Republic team in the world qualifier we lost to them if he was really afraid afraid of them but we lost after going up one n we lost 21 and I think genro will give this Nigerian team a good drum for their money who would you want to see in this lineup the first 11 you want to see going into this match in the N of Champions Ino I know then I know know I know then I don't know who should on the left um um bright Bri I think play on the left then Bri with Drew for tamino and I think tamino will play at the right back position oh then he can okay okay okay I think I think we can also play two defense two defense we can we can play Calin bassi um cin and and aay and then we can play Wing backs who play as Wing back can play as a wing back we can use sim Moses as a wing back too if oh please pleas pleas okay you you've mentioned your Defenders who would you want to see in the Midfield position's back yes so Undisputed starts then but then I am kind of I don't know when to play in front of the defense or a little further forward because for leester recently has been playing as a number eight forward so and he had been doing excellently well there so I feel like but then he's we don't have a good for I feel like we saw him we saw him but then he was not he was he tried he tried okay but then I would I would I would be okay with Yu taking that number four position then we advance sorry advance advance advance when we play will be will be he will be I don't know I don't know about I don't know if to because I think not per up to level we expecting him to perform yes so I don't know maybe he will bring his a game because I think for f has been doing not bad yeah so put him right the the meld him and [Music] and and then for the forwards I go I will go with Bon face okay top Striker Bon face we play our Niger Mery not done anything Simon Simon but he's come on I'm put um put on the right put on the left so where will you put ad luk man luk man luk man luk man I mean see all all these players that have this okay lukman is okay okay just start lukman drop Simon Simon I I start one because you know he was just nominated going to talk about that that is that is why you should even start him because I think yes this confidence and this Dinger okay let me look at from thetive aspect let's Okay start start look more yeah I think that that 11 can beat well I don't know why I want to disagree with you especially in that mfield position did the is a traditional for despite what leester is doing with him but play him as a for okay play Alexi and play Fran no no no which Fran don't play Fran this um Del Bashir we saw we saw some glimpse of what Del Bashir brings in the last qualifier to the World Cup and I think with what I saw I think he can hold that number 10 position very well bashu and in the Midfield I think this glimp we need to win Ben but in terms of who don't play and some Brilliance I think that should do the work for Nigeria and for me in the attacking position I go with Victor Bonny I go with um ad lman and maybe he left why you say like because I think will disagree with crazy yeah left more confidence better Nigeria win one Z we don't we don't have goals in our leg so one Z Victor Bon goals who's going to be creating for him really to one Z so guys you've heard our opinion do well to drop your opinion in the comment section as we proceed the Balon the all list was dropped yesterday night and we saw some couple of names that we expected to see and we saw some names that we are not expecting to see and we saw names that we expect to see but are not there no Ronaldo no Messi nobody for the first time since 20 2003 we're not seen Ronaldo or Messi in the Balon the list expect Messi they not playing they not playing in Europe so what are they doing there if if any of them was on that list then we would know that okay what what have been said ever since what have talk that okay this this whole b b door is red that just for no reason so if they added this timeone of is playing in Europe so why we adding them there they have nothing to do there so I'm I'm glad not make that particular mistake that a mistake no Ronaldo no Messi in the 2024 25 25 season of the Balon the all East and we see some couple of names that we're expecting to see there's Jude bellham there's Holland there's King let me quickly go through some of the names we saw on the list there's bam there's Diaz fing Val Martinez Palmer Holland lukman niiko Williams venicius Dano with Kan rise we saw jaka and R of Manchester City first let me not forget the almighty kilan he's on the list lman lukman is on the list to congratulations to him by the way becomes the sixth Nigerian to make this B the all okay first off let's start with with haran he scored go what really contribute last season goals ah God okay let will get you on the list I hear you I hear you now let's talk about um um what's his name this Lao Martinez Martinez yes what did really do gos will bring you to this list ch L was a big contributor to enter winning the league last season he was he was okay the CL R well do you see how how how you started we saw the list we didn't make this list we didn't make this list I mean I understand I understand serious extent but CL are you English media but the CL brought some stability to the Arsenal team I agree but so did other gu is there too I understand is there but other player that should have been there like who like okay Sal was there maybe gabri there r that that list yes yes I for that Aral all the Aral players that we put on that list I don't understand what the yes it was instrumental but there not enough to be I mean stand okay now I understand R cons consistent so you are saying that you are justifi being on the list and cl that was the heart it's true now defense who would you say was the heart of the defense okay can give it to it's not to don't sound like a favor no he was the heart of that defense if he was not there you you see that and he won the Champions League too exactly won the Champions League he won the league won the league and then Germany did not do very bad in the Euros crashed out they not do that bad that bad yes they don't do that bad give it to and he was also instrumental Merit yeah so I think very sincere the real tussle is between is between rodri sorry it's between um rodri Rod Contender okay maybe to some extent to some extent rri is a contender he a contender you want the Euros with Spain I understand you want the league with Man City he W the heroes with Spain yes he W the best player but they were also exactly they were also very instrumental players that they couldn't do without football is a is a team workor but among those players he was chosen as the best player of the tournament that shows how brilliant he was y mean mean he was too but he didn't win anything with Barcelona niik Williams he was just brilliant with the Spain national team you say so no that's what it is I feel like it's a between between v j and Bellingham that is personally that's what I feel no no Ro did not come on what is doing there not perform in in for France scor how many go did he score not perform anything for in the euros and then he's playing for a league we know that play for that League not that's the one with the way you going it seems you're giving it to either ven or Bingham or Bingham the closest in fact I feel like Tony Cruz stands a better chance winning it than rodri Tony Cruz should I shock you okay rri will go all the way this B that's going to be a shock because go all the way because he was he was instrumental for the Spanish national team he was instrumental for Man City in winning the league for the first straight time so was Tony Cruz instrumental for winning champions league for winning the for winning La Liga National trophy 2 comes a long way National trophy like I said I'm going to say it again D did not do so bad in the Euros I meaning Bingham and V there didn't win any I'm going I'm putting all my all my eggs with Rod all the way so your cars are going to go four on my ex personally I feel like England PR is going to go behind the back of Eng PR don't play with them don't with but the fact that on that list I I I don't I can't say anything about we are putting venous and Bam okay I top five top five okay top five top five Ry one Bam from the bottom from the bottom okay from the bottom from the bottom we okay folding fing five yes wow okay folding um number four number four no can I start from Top please start from Top R number one ven number two V bam three yeah folding folding four folding four number four and highand number five five yes so no FL vet no no FL vet no FL vet yes no your country man no no no no he won't come close no he won't come close lukma made the list yeah but he he won't be among the top five yeah he W be among the top five so no vets no vets no Shaka do you know what Shaka did for for two trophies no Shaka I'm sorry Shaka for Switzerland no Jaa Switzerland there is no Jaa I've mentioned my top five let me hear yours from the top from the top Jude okay Jude and then venous okay then Cru Cru Cru three r four and then I'll will give it to to um maybe I can give it to fing but I don't think fing deserves to be there do you know we are not factoring in in can if talking have about that's somebody that's somebody you forgot goals as far as last season was concerned if you to consider goals from you have to consider goals from harur Kane that's true so I don't think is I think when it comes to impact on the team K had more impact for Bayern and and England than than um did K have any any any any any impact for the English national team zero impact I'm sorry he started the games and he started every game well but but I think had more goals than last season yes yes soan is not even in cont quickly the best coach there are some nominees we have alono on this list we have acelot we have Deonte G we have Gula and we havea skani the artine coach I don't know what he's doing on I don't know what the artine coach is doing on this list you know now you know bring but he doesn't a chance bundes Li did well but he chance yes we all know who pep is but not this year not this year he doesn't stand a chance wow now my top three is going to be um um Alo and but let me put it according to who I think is going to win okay third third is going to be no no no no no is going to beel well no no no no let me put let me put the because it was a competition I mean how many games just a of seven games can just give it so the of SP then of Madrid and then I feel like alono what alono did with Bay lusin last season was was was spectacular spe like there's no word for it extraordinary so I feel like alono if going be fair should give it to Alo give it to I mean Madrid Madrid I'm not saying that is I'm not saying a giv but then a decent coach go to MADD you have to win TR I disagree with you what are disagree with disagree with you what are you disagreeing with what disagreeing with what does a m not have what does Madrid not have it's like going to a a back team of of saying coach I'm saying you go there and say iag what are you disagreeing with Madrid has everything that defend the keeper do you know that Lum is is a a nominee for best keeper and he's not even the best Keeper in that team a team that has is for best keeper do you understand and then defense on the bench on Ben injured Seline Alaba the right back is Nomine nominee they have two very capable see Madrid I'm not saying I'm not saying not do a great job but all I'm saying is that alono deserves to win the best coach ahead ofel that's all I'm saying so let's quickly go to the best Keepers best keeper nominees De Costa junama Kil me Lun Martinez Simon Williams of South Africa he made the list and summer this is a difficult one very difficult all of them just aage for I me Champions League okay yes but he will not win it so who who do you think win no who don't say nice please don't say nice will how will because because Spain had a good defense are you kidding me he will win they to nice that's just going to be I would have I would rather have we know exception keeper better or Loy did very well with the of of of K he Carri stepped up Marly so I feel like deserves it than so I'll give it to finally let's go to the Copper trophy that means as the young player of the years that's another yeah we have some very interesting name very very interesting name here we have Yamin yamal yeah we have adula we have gachu and we have minu on this least okay now I'm going to say the obvious I'm going say the obvious there's no there's no trying to paint words or say there's no there's no other stronger Contender there isn't maybe maybe if if others like one did what he did at the age he is I mean he's now 17 but he was 16 at the time of this to Defenders Euros come on come on the Euros for Barcelona yes he he he I mean I think he he will go with this he's going to win it like nobody stands a chance nobody notaa what did he do for like he SC SC some beautiful beautiful beautiful goals from the bench in the Euros from the bench and he's 180 or I think 18 or 17 yes man met the the Barcelona first team at the age of 16 he made the Spanish first team at the age of 16 so I think Undisputed Undisputed I think we have Nik n Williams there n Williams yes is's on the list Nik should be also there but also brilli by L did go with this one so I didn't get who will win the keeper for you best keeper Lo so Lo for best keeper um itself bamham coach alono coach alono yeah guys watch out for ub's prediction on the Balon the all so quickly let's touch on Victor simens transfer to galatic siren does it h Mar H there are rumors now culating that he has sucked his agent yes he had to C that was he missed out on going to Saudi Arabia he missed out on Chelsea I mean there was something wrong there was there had to be something wrong somewhere he has miss out on the two so I feel like I feel like and they have to go for a h i mean I see him online that he's going to supposed to say I want to play he's a great club and all that but my guy you not want to go there at first of course all all of a sudden he's the best the best option he the best team in the world and stuff we all know that but then I don't understand what happened because that's for me I mean I love Chelsea I think should have gone to Saudi Arabia very early I mean what do you think have really happened there I think what happened Wasim wanted to go to Chelsea but the W Chelsea was proposing wasn't what he wanted wanted this is football you choose money or you choose the game oim wanted boot yes that is where he lost osim is the current best player in Africa so he can have both in terms of goals he can deliver goals I don't like him overhype this you know man he's good but don't he is the best player in Africa right now right now okay right then right now from the next award he's called the best player in Africa okay very good nobody nobody take that from him but then please choose do you want to play football or you want to go for Mone nobody nobody going to say anything against you for doing any of the two but then being midle looking looking to get Vats that's where he made the mistake should have gone to I mean left for me from the time he won this after that season he shouldn't have spent one more season in in Napoli you know then he he was the pride of Napoli the pride of what even the coach left what are you still doing there he's he was the pride of Napoli and if you were Napoli you would have sold him at that point no no no no no if he said he was he would leave do you know funny enough he was the one that sent him transire request after he saw that he wasn't fitted to this Napolis team he handed him transf request yeah before said doesn't want him yes obviously was not going to want him because as as soon as cont landed he was luku so of course he's not going to play that much do you think gas will be a good very good Feit for Vi like I said I mean so bad was a h it was in fact it was the only option available option yeah yeah because you said that there are rumors that he used a different agent to secure this deal that it was not his agent that handled the deal I think he did he did he did well he did well I mean if he the new agent the agent did well thing now is I heard I heard he he he he in his in the contract he said he should be allowed to to choose a new club by January if he wants to go to a new club I don't know how I think I think I heard I something like that that's part of the deal that he can choose to go to another club by January window if he wants so if a big European Club comes for him so I think that you think is an opportunity for Chelsea to still secure his signature at that point I even saw that Chelsea has still going in for o so will it be a good business for chelse at that point I think we have to watch out and see what Jackson decides to do for or that is is trth yeah we have to watch out we have to watch out because if by does not score at least 10 goals at least 10 goals like then we know we have to go for by all means we have to go for so jackon has to show I mean he he started a fight with for saying he for it's not said something that really that bad just tell said something bad not really that bad he said he said ja need to do better and they he was pushing for to come to the club because he his country man he not say J is the worst ster in the world not say anything like that he just said okay just is to better he now came and told a legend of Chelsea shut up who is a legend of are you kidding are you joking is a legend CH Legend a whole legend of are you kidding do you disagree I don't know I don't know why I want to disagree but League winner yes so Premier League winner you been any of these things does does that make you a legend if you inting yes yes let's not go to that conversation let's not go to that conversation of first te let's not go there play the CH fin yes he did yes he did so there's nothing else to say so anybody who plays in the ch anybody who is instrumental in the wining of any trophy has to be recognized as a really yes really yes I disagree with you guys is Mobi a legend in Chelsea go to the comment section tell us if you think and why you think or if you agree with UB that Mikel will be is a legend at Chelsea let's go back to ad man for his first nomination he's first he's first I mean there are lot of talks some say that he used one match to to get that domination we don't care but what we care is he made the least I mean Wasing about being top eight I don't know you think L will be top 10 at least no you don't think I don't think he will make top 10 I'm sorry no no no I don't think so I mean everything he did he was scoring goals not like yes he was PR season when you won the in [Music] the think was his was the one that was pushing for not for the injury L had I think given this this this time now he used this particular match that final SC scoring hattick in a European final is a serious is a very serious I think that's what was considered in the whole so he did well he did well I mean he didn't didn't do he did well let's not downplay what he did so hopefully he brings this quality to the Nigerian national team and replicate the same quality hopefully we I mean he hasn't been playing bad I mean afon was not playing but yes he was instrumental in Niger semal finish so to just to to look finally Nigeria B Republic the final result one Z One Z guys Nigeria One open Republic zero yeah don't forget to subscribe like share for more interesting football stories
