Like the Biblical Paul, Aigbogun Set for Second Missionary Journey as Flying Eagles Chief Coach

Like the biblical Paul who went on three missionary journeys preaching the gospel and performing miracles, another Paul is set to embark on his second missionary journey as Flying Eagles chief coach.
Adjudged the best National team coach in 2019 due to his sterling performances with the Under 20 National team that saw Nigeria make it to the last 16 of the 2019 FIFA Under 20 world cup in Poland and a Silver winning exploit at the All Africa games in Egypt, Paul is the man looking good to get the job again Blessed with UEFA A' Licence certificate, the former Warri Wolves and Enyimba FC chief coach is currently in the United kingdom undergoing intensive coaching from some of the world's best coaches as the Covid-19 pandermic persists. He has travelled from London to Ireland and lately Scotland to beef up his credentials A top official of the NFF told this reporter that Paul is top on a list of four and is looking good for the job. According to him, Paul Aigbogun has done well for himself after the U20 World cup in Poland. I understand that a few persons are not happy with his team's performance in Poland but he remedied the situation with a fine showing in Egypt during the All African Games. I am not his fan but from what I hear and based on the list of those who applied for the Flying Eagles job, he stands out interms of credentials and exposure. Remember, this is not entirely the NFF's decision to make. I am not saying we can't make some inputs but the decision is that of Prime Water company (PWC). We have given them the authority to act on our behalf. They are seriously scrutinising all the applications on their table and will come out with the best names in the coming days. I understand why many are saying Paul will get it because from the list of coaches that have appled for the U20 job, he stands out. All I can say for now, is that everyone should stay calm with fingers crossed, a definite decision will be made that will be in the best interest of Nigerians he concluded. Five of Paul Aigbogun's discoveries from the last FIFA world cup have gone on to sign improved contracts with top European clubs.

Bede Opara shines in Vilar de Perdizes Victory

Bede Opara stars in Vilar de Perdizes 8-1 victory. It was a goal feast for Vilar de Perdizes as they ran riot and pummeled GDC Salto 8-1 over the weekend in the Portuguese Pro-National league match. The match ended 1-1 in the 1st half but Vilar de Perdizes proves too strong for the visiting GDC Salto in the 2nd half as they scored 7 unreplied goals. Opara who was on the pitch for the entire duration of the match as his club inch closer to finishing the season on a scintillating version was happy to be back and doing what he knows how to do best. Speaking exclusive to www.cmsportz.blogspot.com after the game on Sunday, the Nigeria U23 player stated "My teammates and coach were happy with my performance in the match.

Dream Team Keeps Dream Alive

The Nigeria U23 team defeated Libya's U23 4-0 to progress to the next round of the 2019 U23 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers as Osimhen grabs hattrick. It was a resounding victory for the Dream team as they overturned a two goal deficit suffered in the first leg. Coach Imama Amapakabo left no stone unturned as he rejigged the squad that went down in Tunis by drafting in Francis Uzoho, Osimhen, Chidozie Awaziem and Valentine Ozoruwafor from the Super Eagles to the Olympics team. It was a tedious opening 20 minutes as the Dream team struggle to find the openings while the Libyans  comfortably held on to their defensive strategies in the scorching 33°c weather temperature in Asaba. Taiwo Awoniyi failed to capitalize on a gifted opportunity in the 14 minutes as the Libyan goalkeeper parried Nwakali's freekick to his path at a close range. But Osimhen broke the deadlock in the half-hour mark when he pounce on a rebound as the Libyan goalkeeper failed to deal with another Nwak...
