Scouting commencing for the month at the great Katagites hall, where strong boy play a very physical type of football. Standing few metres away from the lines, it was another interesting occasion for me. I watched the boys play for quite a while and after watching different sets replace each other, I found a point of interest in Ibrahim Dawudu. He played from behind, stopping his opposition’s advances and when it comes to assisting the attack, he was also there. This is a very strong guy, which I found to be aged 21 already. I’m not sure his age is on bolton’s side, but he sured play too well for his age.
Chck the dark guy with Band-Aids on his leg playing from left to right.

Info well passed about the friendly match between maths department and chemistry, as on getting there the whole pitch was set for the show down. I know very much about both departments as I’ve watched both train and play in the past. The only reason why this seemed a little different was because of the fact that the match was limited to their second year students alone, none of which are known to me. The match started as scheduled, having a slow start in the first half. The dull start of the match must have been because of the limited availability of players as they cannot pick out of their level. Later in the first half at about 30mins, things changed, the maths department were attacking with more confidence. A particular player Akinde was the full force in this operation. He played as an attacking midfielder and was distributing well to his forwards and also aided in series of counter-attacks. Early in the second half the maths department got a goal through the assist of Akinde. It was a superb television goal and the players jubilated well. As the match approached the stop-time, the chemistry department who were unconvincing from the match kick off got a fluke goal. A tie was not the best result for maths, but they couldn’t change it as the match ended.

The west side collection of boys almost unknown to each other on the university’s sport complex. Students from different halls, and some, maybe not from inside the school all came to the pitch for one sole aim, which is kicking the ball. They had enough players to pick 8 aside and play an interesting football. It was all fun watching them play together and trying to forge a bond with their team-mates for co-operational purpose on the pitch. After watching them play for more than 30mins, I spotted Aloha and Jeremy. Both in opposing teams. Aloha was playing as an holding midfielder, and the great thing about him was his dribbles and technique of moving the ball. Might not be Iniesta standard, but was thrilling. Jeremy on the other side was playing as a forward and his own good point is the pace and positioning.

I made my way into the training camp of the Agric Engineering students, it was reported that they were planning a friendly match with the industrial engineering department. On getting there, I saw the likes of Kunle, Bebo, Hamzat but no Puddy comb. I monitored them as they trained together and all were doing well apart from the fact that Kunle and hamzat were outstanding in display. Kunle the tall guy in a red manu jersey is known to play best as a striker, while hamzat a defensive midfielder was kitted in yellow and he showed cool touches while training. I try to cover the friendly match if it holds.

It’s no news that football can be found in the less expected places, and this is the case when you get to a handball court and you meet men playing football without fear. This of course re affirms the fact that football is superior to all sports. It was a friend of mine who old me about the piece of football on the handball court. I wasn’t disappointed getting there and finding a lot of guys jeering to play football, but on the long run, I wasn’t too impressed with the quality of football thrown into display. They were all older than age 20, and were not a good option to name as a prospect. That I would be back at the court for scouting purposes, now I can’t say much. Thank you
In other news, did you watch the Nigeria vs Spain match ?? it was topnotch for the eagles with the only missing piece in forwards. Forget the scoreline, we played well, and mikel was on top of his game, bossing the midfield against the likes of Xavi Iniesta. I hope we get England again in the worldcup groupings.
