Osimhen Warns Super Eagles About Chelle’s High Demands
Victor Osimhen has sent a clear message to his Super Eagles teammates about the high expectations of the new head coach, Eric Chelle. Chelle took over earlier this year, replacing Augustine Eguavoen, and his first real test will be the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe this month.
The Franco-Malian coach has already named his 23-man squad for the games, and Osimhen has shared some insight into what to expect under Chelle’s leadership. Speaking on the Obi One Podcast, Osimhen revealed that he has already spoken with Chelle ahead of the qualifiers.
“I know him from the last AFCON with Mali. He’s a coach who loves attacking football and demands a lot from his players,” Osimhen said. “He told me he needs me and the senior players to step up and help him achieve great things for Nigeria.”
Osimhen added that Chelle made his expectations clear. “If you don’t fight for every ball or give your all, you won’t play. He was very direct about that. He said he can be like a big brother or an uncle off the pitch, but once we step on the field, it’s all business. If the younger players see us giving everything, they’ll follow.”
Former footballer Paul Scholes condemns Martin Odegaard and speaks on his performance in the Arsenal team.
The football legend shared how it is the captain that is bringing the team down, as he is not playing his position properly “That game on Saturday [Arsenal vs Newcastle], I didn’t see all of it, I probably saw the first half an hour, but I think Odegaard is a big problem for them.”
“I love Odegaard, I think he’s brilliant. Technically, he’s great, but he doesn’t play his position properly. Half the time I saw him in the first 20 minutes, he was almost the deepest man.”
Nigerian politician Peter Obi reacts to the viral incident that occurred in Delta State.
It can be noted that Obi is reacting to the clip of a police officer shooting and killing an already restrained suspect.
Obi stated that it was a serious violation and abuse of power “The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, Mr. Mene Ogidi, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.
“Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.”
It has been reported that a four-year ban has been placed on Chelsea’s player, Mykhailo Mudryk, for anti-doping violations.
The player appealed in court on February 25 but has now been handed his punishment, which is a four-year ban from football.
It can be recalled that his last appearance on the field was on November 28, 2024.
