 We're back with discussions right here on the breakfast and plus TV Africa of course I'm getting into a first major Conversation we'll be talking about positives and negatives from the super Falcons outing in the United States of America and the situation currently with The English Premier League club Chelsea football club, but let's start off with Chelsea Football club and of course I'd like to welcome at this point Monday Thomas usual guest analyst a sports journalist reaching his life From the captain of a quibble state will your city Monday? Good morning to you great to have you join us this morning again You know we are still paying tribute to the Queen I'm not really certain primarily football will go ahead this weekend, but I'm excited to be talking sports with you Fantastic fantastic fantastic indeed Let's start things off with the The situation in Chelsea football club the first question I have to ask you before we talk about Graham Porter Way surprised at the sacking of Thomas Tutcher. I mean I was not surprised I mean I've been around football for a very long time. This is the Chelsea culture I was a little bit surprised that okay We have a new owner Chelsea have a new owner and they are still maintaining that culture of firing managers when they are not Providing the needed results, you know, Chelsea have spent about 278 million and I've gotten sources who are trying to say that a tour Boyleys for administration is just trying to make people forget about Abramovich He has come to spend the most amount of cash in the summer transfer window on a melt Abramovich couldn't spend in a single transfer window and he has come in to tell people whatever a Bromovich could do I can do the same and I can do even better So it is Chelsea culture. I've been around Chelsea. I've seen a lot happen coaching This have come on gone. But one thing about Chelsea their business oriented side They love to get the results often on the pitch imagine if they're spending 278 million They need results and one bad thing about them is they need it really fast So that's the only negative I'll get from that particular one, but firing Thomas To go many people saw it coming Chelsea were not playing so well. Thomas to go was not doing the right Form of business. I think he lost he lost his job last season where he got off the wrong foot with a room Kaku, which was Chelsea's record signing and from that a room a look at who was struggling he Kept coming up from the bench. This is Chelsea's record signing You should do everything to make sure he is producing goals and he's producing the needed result So Thomas to go for some reasons I have lost the dressing room before he lost his job So I'm not so surprised Well, I'm just shocked that toward Borley has come out to continue the main culture of Chelsea Which is foreign manager getting results and of course winning trophies If we look at the English Premier League at table Chelsea stands in the sixth position after six games One winning three drawing one and losing two with ten points. Just five points behind Arsenal Who are at the top of the summit of the EPL? It's any days yet as far as the EPL is concerned I mean Arsenal who did all or nothing last season Where know where to be found at the early stages of the league but we're able to almost get into the Champions League in the UEFA Champions League. It's You know any days yet just the first game and in every one I'm sure including yourself Who believes that Chelsea will comfortably make it to the next stage of the Europa? Champions UEFA Champions League. So I'm some Chelsea fans are shocked that and the field I mean Chelsea is ahead of Liverpool for for crying out loud and Liverpool themselves also didn't have a good outing losing woefully to You know Napoli who who beat them for one I mean and Napoli themselves didn't play well because if they played what they should have played and scored That goes they should have scored they should have thrashed Liverpool badly six goals or seven goals to one So what do you say to that those who say Chelsea is not in a bad position at the moment? Of course they are not. I mean Chelsea always have a good omen when they find it when fire managers I can go back to Dematio when Chelsea won their first year of our Champions League It was after VH Bosch was fired because he wasn't getting the needed results Imagine Chelsea were I think in the quarter-finals of the Champions League the second leg of the Napoli encounter They fired VH Bosch to get Dematio and guess what Dematio came in and won the UEFA Champions League Thomas Tugo Was brought in when Frank Lamper was fired and they came on to win the Champions League. I mean it's a culture thing So Chelsea for me are On the right foot getting Harry Graham Potter. I almost said Harry Potter Because the man of things in magic Yes, the man is a magician with what he's doing with the Brighton I mean he can do that with Brighton with average players and when you take the look at he the way he talks to his players His countenance, you know that this man knows what he's doing Thomas Tugo had a wrap-up things when he started as a manager, but as things went he started losing the dressing room For a site like Chelsea, I'm sorry Kai Havett cannot be a number nine Rhyme Stirling cannot be a number nine. You must get a lethal number nine if you're to go forward and Tom Stucco was playing About his number nine number nine jersey. He's not just about the number nine But someone who can score the goals for you from a striking point of view You are doing business. Oh, you are getting defenders upon defenders call you by left Christian's left All right, I understand. Oh really got left and Christian's left as well Understand that you need to feeling that boy But why are you spending so much on defenders for me? There was no creativity or there was no creativity in that Chelsea side in the midfield in the middle of the park apart from Matik Kovacic and we know how injured Tony is and Chelsea for me and not a world structure team But what they've spent the most money in the transfer window So from the business point of view Chelsea did not do the right type of business and Tom Stucco was culpable So that's why I'm not surprised to see him go But Chelsea going forward getting her Graham Porter a lot of people are saying this manager does not have enough pedigree to coach a chill Sight like Chelsea. I want to start to read people talking about okay If we have a great word to need a manager when they go for Graham Porter No, they will not go for Graham Porter because the Graham Porter does not understand the Spanish league This man understands the English family. He started his career way in Sweden way get tremendously well before coming to England with the Championship supply in Swansea and then he was promoted to Brighton or he was appointed by Brighton as their new head coach because He is this trajectory speaks well for himself and every manager has that breaking point that breakthrough point for them So this is the breakthrough point for Graham Porter and I see him doing well before the younger club became the younger club He was he was given an opportunity by brochure dogma for my so far before Zinedine Zian became the Zinedine Zian We know was given an opportunity by Real Madrid. No one needs Zinedine Zian He hasn't had any pedigree as far as coaching is concerned but because Real Madrid a big club believed in him and that's how he was able to repeat that belief and I think Chelsea took ball as come on with so much believe and feet on Graham Potter and of course He has nothing more to do but to of course live up to the building and I see Graham Potter Doing so Chelsea all right Monday like you I called this firing in fact I've been calling it since last season and A true football fans who are colleagues of mine saw me on The day the day this sucking was announced and said are you all right? They didn't see it coming And so I agree with you, but I also have a theory that took her like you rightly called him is It's not good at putting together a team, you know, he's good at At at coaching but at putting together a team is not good He like you said they the the recruitment hasn't been that great And they don't have a striker though. They signed Obama young, you know Or by my black blood young like like some like calling him You're not snow for swan. So I know that means a lot to you And you know, so at least they have a striker But some will say that took her is not the only problem in that team that the boy is also a major problem Not being a football fan. He's probably not showing His adeptness at making football decisions. You are the owner of the club. You are the CEO You are head of recruitment. You are, you know, almost like technical director of the team You know, you're always popping up, you know, at signing ceremonies with the players and holding justice with them You know when you shouldn't be doing that and for me, I think it's a red flag Seeing that potter has been given a five-year deal worth 12 million pounds a year I think this is going to blow up in the face of Chelsea and this is the end or the beginning of the end for the club Do you think so? I mean because if you're a football person, you don't give a coach like potter five years Broly doesn't know what he's doing. This will end up being a disaster. What do you say? It's not going to be a disaster or anything. This is a premeditated plan. Let me tell you something I got some sources macro career from a bright and right twat Broly had had it isn't in his mind to send Thomas to go in ever since ever since the signing of macro career according to my source Todd Broly was talking to macro career and he was getting details about Graham potter So for him to come out to give him five a five-year deal This is a premeditated plan. He has thought on this over and over five years It's not a joke. I know for a manager like Graham potter He will think oh, but let me just give him a chance really two-year deal and see how he performs with a chance of extending his contract But boom, it's a five-year deal So it's a long-term plan for the young man and for you that's just spent about 278 million in the transfer window Are you not hoping of making profit if in the next let's say six months Graham potter doesn't deliver Are you gonna find even the next two years? He doesn't deliver. Are you gonna find him? Even want to find yes, but they're expenses to this You're gonna pay him You're gonna pay him out So a five-year deal for Graham potter is telling the young man that there's so much believe on you Although that this is your biggest age This could be your biggest test as a coach But we believe that you can do it and we don't just believe in you for in in the stock team We know that in the long term You're going to bring glory to this Chelsea football club I know a lot of people will not agree with me But Graham potter is going to take the English Premier League It's going to take the European football by storm So you just just worked out. Let's see how it goes. I know I know I know there is a lot of red flag about Turbureli By him becoming directors upon directors. I think it's the It's the part-time owner and of course full-time chairman. That's what they call him now It doesn't it doesn't really matter. That's a great plan for sure But the only thing I would not like him to if he interferes on the Decisions of Graham potter That is absolutely not acceptable But even gives him a free fall of hand even empowers and give him everything later Both Chelsea I've got quality playoffs right now Thomas Tuko like you said, I would agree with you. You couldn't do business in the transform market I wouldn't do that kind of business as well as I am in football coaching. I won't do that I wouldn't do I won't Invest on defenders. I know it's good to guide your goals But in a game that you score more than your opponents You certainly win it. So for me the best way to win a game is by attacking getting creative fielders, of course defenders and of course, but also focusing on attack But if you take a look Chelsea trying to get players So it's the Chelsea problem They try to get Robin Lewandowski in the transfer window Chelsea too I've lost their pedigree as far as attracting good players They're trying to get so many players in the transfer window for that attacking position Position, but they have to settle for Pierre medical bombing and which was a panic bite for for me So Chelsea need to get back to that pedigree once again For them to be able to attract players and I think Graham Porter is going to bring them back to that position interesting We'll talk about the Super Falcons just very briefly But I'm I'll just add to what you've said and maybe we'll have a wager to see how this plays out Chelsea's recruitment policy strategy As bereft of ideas, you know, we look at the teams these days They recruit based on the project they have at hand and Chelsea Their strategy is just to go for any player who is available that the big teams want to buy and see if they can get that player You know, uh, so by anybody who is who is being talked about But let's look at the Super Falcons, uh, to put up a spirited performance losing only to the United States of America in that friendly game Only to because of an own goal. What are your thoughts on on the match United States of America to Um, uh, Nigeria's Super Falcons one not a bad result. Would you say? terrible result I can't use these are bad results abysmal but of course they're Positives in that particular game because I'll keep saying the plenty of this particular encounter was not about the results But it was about the working out of the players the inclusion of the falconets into the squad And it's it wasn't disappointing outing for the captain of the falconets To see Demian scoring an own goal But you would you would say she was played out of position She was played in the defensive midfield role instead of the defense line, but it's okay I mean, there's some Some positives at least we lost by two goals to one in the second game Which means there was an improved performance from the first game But what happened in the first game losing by three goals in the only the first 45 minutes The game ending four goals to kneel in the 90 the 90th minute I mean It was a poor performance But the positives that we improved on our game and we're able the coach could have seen running around drum on door The defeat was very I can imagine but for him bringing in those young stars the likes of Deborah build doom I mentioned a Bartosian and Demian and of course the former numinal who formerly played for the On the 20s world So for me the positive is the new players who get to make make their debut for the super falcons But for the score line and the In which the super falcons were beaten on aggregate if you want to put it by those two games I think the sixth goals to one and another positive is that the super falcons caught the united states The united states considered their first goal since april And that was the first time the super falcons of Nigeria were able to score against the united states of america The national women's team for the first time I'm in 20 years. So and not as really improved about our Football, but I've judged the ladies like this outing There is a lot of more outing to come before the The FIFA women's world cup. So a lot is expected from these ladies But for me it was fair But if you take a look at the positive from the the results the score line Wasn't a good one. It was an embarrassing score line But the fact that we improved in our second game should of course give us some thumbs up But I think we can do better with this quarter that we have and I think just some players that we call the point Who of course prevent the Yeah, I can't really go into details Okay, monday. Thank you so much. I just want one word from you Four losses in a row for randy wildroom. Is he the man to take nigeria super falcons forward? Yes or no? Yes, if you take nigeria to the world cup.
