New Super Eagles Coach Bruno Labbadia Set To Name Foreign Assistants | Sports Update

[Music] [Applause] hey come up L come up come up l [Music] [Music] [Applause] hello and welcome to sport update on TR TV I am Emmanuel fashion I'm full of smile because my director is actually making me to smile this evening because it got me covered uh behind the scene but uh we have a lot of stories making the round in the World of Sports this evening we are still looking at the new superos coach uh someone said like I said in the morning on the morning show that the nff actually employed Bruno laia nously Nicodemus way but I don't know what the person means by that but the thing is the first story this evening is the new super Eagles coach Bruno labad set to name foreign assistant and part of those foreign assistant that he's going to be named will have Olaf a man who has worked with him for quite some years though he is now working on his own with another club in Europe I have mon lasson inhouse analyst joining me on the show this evening welcome to sports update thank you good evening always a pleasure to be here thank you I know you were surprised when the news broke out yesterday Bruno labadia because this were would actually talked about the super coaching job on the show together I know you already you we not expecting uh a name like Bruno labadia to be named as the super go coach yeah um I I have to say this with all due respect I don't have any any personal animosity against the man but as a personal opinion I I think Nigerians a Nigerian should should manage to be fair and to be honest he has a he has a very long and impressive CV gone through his CV some of the jobs he has done in the past but I think we have come to a place where in Nigerian we we have in my opinion lots of talent that that can manage manage the super EOS and we have to come to a place where our players both foreign and local base respect the the the head of whoever he's chosen to to to coach the super agles and don't just look around and say oh unless we have a foreign coach the players might not respect him I think that that is that's not good enough but well we we here we are we have just a few days to to to some friendly match thank God we have qualifers actually sorry pardon me two very important important matches and let's let's let's not forget we have not really done well in in in recent times we have some very important important things ahead of us so hopefully we can focus and of course when when a coach is coming in bringing in uh his assistant you want him to bring in somebody he's familiar with somebody he's comfortable with somebody who understands him who they can work together so hopefully these are the people he's bringing in and then they able to bring us results at the end of the day if we're getting results nobody will care whether it's foreign coach or not okay but somebody made mention of something uh that um the there might be a language barrier but from what I understand do you think there's going to be a language barrier because Germans also speak English fluently well I don't think there will be a language barrier the the the German footballers the German football players football managers that that we all know and familiar with a lot of them speak very very good English even before they moved to English speaking countries and I understand that Germany I think about roughly about 30 to 40% of their population actually speak speak very good English I don't think there will be a language barrier and even if there is a language barrier I mean har rard the the French guy coach Saudi Arabia and he he had an interpretor with him who was getting the job done so who okay uh we're still dwelling on the super before we move to the next story quickly the choice of a foreign assistant I know a lot of persons wouldn't want to support the names names like Olaf and what like the Olaf I mention has actually worked with him yeah the the the with with with the assistant coach or your back backro stuff you want people you are comfortable with people you know people you can work with people you probably over the years there's a there a certain level of chemistry certain level of understanding that's good on there again like I've said I personally personally do not want a foreign coach but he's here for example our man just got back from his band the first name that came to my mind wasia I mean give him a a kind of a a an easy flow back back into management something like that would have been great and it could also be like if some some a future plan so if this guy comes in maybe stays for like a year or two maybe more then we can EAS in another Nigerian who is probably have become familiar with with the players but of course your backro stuff have to be people that you are comfortable with I mean your director was making you laugh some some few minutes ago because of the chemistry that is going on yes of course we all right let's see what Bruno laia those who were who were appoint as assistant he is going for foreign co uh foreign assistant and I made mention of laugh and C some these are some of the names that popped up those guys have actually worked with him in dams that B lusin vfb stard all in German Bundesliga all right moving ahead on the show this evening we go straight to Liar Peru yes uh we are doing well on on day two of uh the event you know uh actually is day one in Nigeria here but it's day two already in lar Peru we have two of our Nigerian athletes who have made it to final the long jump final and then the 100 M women's final that is oogo in the long jump final after she also got to the final in Paris 2024 Olympic Games now at the under 20 World athletic championship in lar Peru she's also in the final with a leap of 6.28 M uh for uh at least 4 cm better than what we saw at the Paris 2024 Olympic game 6.25 M I beg your pardon in Paris it was 6.28 this time around 4 cm difference from what we saw in Paris and now she's in final that is pra and then we have Justina in the women's 100 m final yeah well at least finally we have something to smile about something to laugh about when it comes to Athletics in Nigeria Paris Paris was not fun for for any of us it was it was a disaster by by all metrics but thank God we we are we we are breing in New Life and this is very important because is the under 20 so we it's it's a training ground so so to speak so we can you know from here we we are setting into the future bringing in these these people at a very young young age and and you know nurturing their talent and hopefully they keep developing and keep getting better keep achieving better results so by the time we show up at another International competition like like an Olympics we'll do better and we represent our country in a we represent our country better those event final will be coming up early of tomorrow morning deep late late in the night we wish Justina we wish wish to at least to pick a Meda in the fight women's 100 me final and also Pristina oogo to also finish on the podium uh when she goes there for the long jump all right moving ahead on the show this evening we talk football we looking at the women uh the women has always been making us proud in this country but this time around we switch over to Club friendlies where assis to C against Barcelona during a friendly game yeah that has to be some somewhat bit as scoring against you know her former team right there and and like you said the women always make us happy at every level at every every uh different kind of sports and I'm I'm I'm grateful for her I'm always I mean she's a legend of of of of of the of the women's game if you're going back back in time I think you have to you have to go go way back to to the likes of before you can see some someone someone who has that sture and that level of maturity playing playing for for the spers I'm also doing well at the club club level so I'm excited for her see what what what she has has yes they actually lost that game 52 but she was on the score sheet against her former club Barcelona where she actually made record she's the third highest goal scorer alltime highest goal scorer for FC Barcelona feminin that the women's team she scored 117 goals for that te becoming the first women to win the C to win the uh women's CH UFA Women's Champions League with Barcelona from Africa and Nigerian precisely all right moving on Europe let's go straight to Italy uh this time around we look at the Italian Syria we have quite a lot of Nigerians who have played in Italian Syria who are still playing there but one Striker right now Nigerian Striker is sess quit club with the this guy in and out he suffered a lot of injury with WF for this is a guy who who um at least when he during the under 17 uh tournament for Nigeria he was actually one Prospect we think he was going to take the Super OS by storm yeah I I think it's unfortunate when you see a young player who who can't seem to stay fit and keep keep getting injury keep keep getting bounc from from Club to Club it's it's very unfortunate especially when you consider that the career of a sportsman is is relatively very very short you only have a few years to impress and if you don't you just keep bouncing from from clubs and if you're not very careful you have to go to like maybe a lower lower tier or a less no football which is unfortunate but of course we're wishing him all the best and hopefully hopefully maybe he can BCE back unfortunately we F this these stories too many times people who did well in the other 17 did well the under 20 but when when it comes time to to meet up with the big boys they they don't it takes they just fiz out and their career knows dive but for injury was not really helpful to him during his playing days in WF for that is the English Premier League and they also played in the championship before he was shipped out but at the end D say he quits that club let's see where he will be playing uh at least the season has started let's see his next destination uh but this evening let's look at today fixtures we have games coming up in La Liga yesterday there were games in La Liga where Barcelona came from behind to beat riy Valen 21 and we have games tonight the continuation of of La Liga games March day three we have atic Club against Valencia who has l two games this season R validi against Lagan we haveu in that club and surprisingly his name was not listed for the super Eagles we have Atletico Madrid at the Wonder metropolitano we welcome espanol a team from the expan region in Barcelona they close to Basa we have R against deportivo ales quite interesting games Athletic Club against Valencia won at least Athletic Club have started the season well but they lost to Barcelona in their math day two and against vencia who has lost uh has not even won any game this season yeah unfortunately so but Valencia seem to be on the way down in recent years but that's actually whatever happens that's the kind of uh matches you want to watch right these are teams that seem to be at some some to some extent on on on on the same par so you like to watch teams that that may not necessarily be top teams but they doing very well and then their their style of play and then the level of their of their players seem to be on similar levels those games give you very interesting outcomes and they always very high intensity so I'm I'm I'm looking forward to a match like that yes those games will be coming up tonight and as we speak some are about to start and some already on going on uh let's go straight to Germany where we have the German dfb poker they are the winners of that particular competition tonight they will play against a low tier team K Jenner against Bay lusin and surprisingly we might just be seeing a Victor Bon getting some action before joining the super yeah yeah I would not be surprised again if B L wa to concede and and then come up in the 88 minute to start performing some some wonders or some Miracles but of course we expect we expect that that they should be able to to Nick this one through hopefully our boys get some actions yes of course Victor Bon we expect to get some action where zbi alono is doing well yes we have a lot of transfer this evening and we'll start with this one surprisingly nobody saw this one coming they enter into the race and they got it right Liverpool completes fedrico chers deal from Juventus and nobody saw this for fedrico chers are going to Liverpool yeah nobody is coming I mean k seem to have other suits but I think it didn't it didn't work very well but then for Liverpool this is kind of like their first serious Sig this summer I mean coming with a new coach you actually expect them to do some business but they seem to have dragged up up to this point but hasn't be affected their play they seem to be playing very well but hopefully this guy comes in and then gives them some some some leverage they also rumors that arsal might be coming in for for Nunes I don't know maybe that that's part of the reason why they had to just buy okay let's see how it goes if Arenal get down then it will be a good one for fedoa moving ahead on transfers we look at these Newcastle United man united uh both of Team eyes acting forward Dominic clavet Lewin this guy is a very fantastic Striker any anytime but you Manu going ahead for this young man if you are his agent or whoever which of the two will you pick honestly if I was advising him I would say neither and my reason is very simple you have hland and Zi in Manchester United you have isaach in Newcastle yes of course is there really a chance that that c with all du respect to Cav I mean he's a brilliant footballer but is there any any any hope there that he might actually need any of them maybe he should consider a team that that actually needs a striker to be fair he's a fantastic footballer for for his standards but maybe you don't want to be second or third choice at this point in in your career okay let let's see how that goes for C we still have some days to the end of the transfer window we actually looked at Victor cimen transfer on the 31st of August there's going to be a big surprise because the transfers we never expected will actually happen before 12 midnight on that day all right let's move ahead on the transfers we look at these and people are saying yes they are signing quantity no longer quality and they signing a whole Community this time around chess shows interest in Aston Villa for John Duran another uh Chessa going for with all due respect with all due respect I think it's time on be I think I'm speaking on behalf of every football fan in the world BN Chelsea from transfers they don't seem to know any other thing to do than to sign place I mean you saw a video of of their their training ground their gym it's a mess there are players everywhere they over 40 something players already right now on their books and their coach is claiming oh he's only working with with about 20 of them or there about so if you have 20 something players to get rid of why are you still signing more and giving them this long insane deals now they want to get rid of Stelling and Stelling is asking for 70 million million to pay him off off his deal I don't think this this is a smart move to be honest and I don't honestly don't understand where any young player is moving to to stford bridge at this point okay all right Chelsea they are signing quantity but not quality they need the quality they need the quantity whichever one they want John Duran let's see if that deal will go through before the transfer Windows shut down on the 31st of August Roma let's go straight to Italy Roma ready to sell tamy Abraham I believe the coming of when this guy went to Roma under Mourinho it was uh in fact he was a beast let me use that adjective he got the goals he was up and running and minino got the best out of him yeah Marino did there are two players that Maro got the best out of that I was very impressed with one was Chris Mullen the other one is is Tam Abraham and for for someone who like that who has so much future so much brightness he actually was him maybe he might you know get picked up by one of those so-called big teams but unfortunately hasn't really worked out for him since Moro left and I guess maybe the new coach D Roi doesn't really maybe favor him that much you know different tactics and whatever but of course we we we wish him good luck wherever he goes maybe he can come play for Manchester United well let's see if you come to Manchester United he's not left for H was tenh Eric tenh to actually look at the way of tamy Abraham the last one on the show I will not allow you to react to D before we go b b dman monitors Manchester United Wing j s okay you have 10 seconds 10 seconds or 20 seconds there about one sentence jayen sanj has to leave and he should go back to Dortmund that's it Dortmund yes why not Bayern not Bayern dund he's loved at Dortmund he did well at Dortmund last last season so he just go back there that's obviously where his heart is home is where your heart is let him go home and enjoy his football we want to see the best of of Jordan Sano okay you want to see the best of Jordan Sano if uh eventually Jordan Sano now switches over to Bayern under vent company do you think vent company is a coach because if you look at Tadich the last coach he actually worked under who left Bia Dortmund and vent company they are two different two very different characters uh characters two different coaches but if he choose to go to Bayern well because you know all the stars in Dortmund find their way the other to Bayern win and come back what do you think playing under him is is he going to be a good one well company is a disciplinarian at least from from from what I've seen about him what I've learned about him is is sort of a mini Goda if you will and if if Jan is getting angry that the is complaining about his Fitness he better just stay away from from B stay away from company and just go back to where he's loved and where he's respected okay all right go back to where he love and respected that is the yellow side of at the iduna Park Stadium in Germany that is where we'll be leaving it on the program this evening that's
