Aggreh: I Can Be Better Than Finidi George
5 OCT 2015 HEADLINES
http://www.completesportsnigeria.com/ag ... um=twitter
By Adeboye Amosu:

Super Eagles winger, Prince Aggreh, believes he has what it takes to become the best winger the country has ever produced, reports completesportsnigeria.com.
The likes of Segun Odegbami, Adokie Amasiemaka, Finidi George, Emmanuel Amuneke and Tijani Babangida, who are former wingers at different times, made headlines in the green and white colours of Nigeria.
Former Ajax winger, Finidi, was at a time referred to as the best right winger in the world.
However, Aggreh, a standout performer for Sunshine Stars in the Glo Premier League this season, insists he can be greater than his predecessors.
“Growing up, I loved watching Finidi George play for the Super Eagles and at club level,” Aggreh told completesportsnigeria.com.
“He was a great winger in his playing days and I learned some tricks from him and other great wingers.
“But the truth is that I want to be better than him.
“I hope to become a regular with the Super Eagles and win more laurels with the team than he did.”
Aggrey who is in Nigeria’s squad for the upcoming friendly games against DR Congo and Cameroon has scored 10 goals for Sunshine Stars in the Glo Premier League this season.
The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

Nothing wrong in aspiring for greatness. Now work hard and put your mind to it.

The boy should be taken to do the back of a woodshed and flogged then have his mouth rinsed with soap. Better than Finidi? :roll:

There's nothing wrong with the lad making a wish.
Whether or not that wish becomes a reality is another thing.

He can be aspire to be like Finidi. But Finidi was no joke. I was lucky to watch him when he played for Ajax in the Dutch league. His runs off the ball, world class speed and pin point crossing were all at another level. So for a starter like him to say he can be better than Finidi is plain arrogant. If he said, he aspires to be as good as Finidi then that would be OK. But better than Finidi? That's arrogant in my view

what manner of rubbish is Sunday Oliseh up to ?

I do not see what this "hey You" has to offer SE.

You mean to tell me that this guy is age mates with our U20 boys ?

Even in the clip showing him play for the Flying Eagles, you can see that Awoniyi is clearly a superior player.

So this mediocre player who was not even good enough to make the WC U20 team is promoted to the SE ahead of

Awoniyi
Success
Nacho
Yahaya

And even non U20 boys like

Imoh
Olaitan
Ajagun

Oliseh has a lot of explaining to do, this is downright pathetic and corrupt.

Not impressed one single bit.

Nothing wrong, but how old is he? He needs to be around 25 now to be better than Finidi..

There is a difference between that and saying that he will be better

Aggrey is delusional IMO. He says Finidi taught him a lot
Just by watching the guy on TV. :lol:

It is good to be humble and take it one step at a time. Someone needs to sit the boy down and explain the hard work and humility it takes to get to be half of what the great Finidi George was as a footballer

I see your point and if he isn't putting in the work then it's a pipe dream but if he's working hard and watching all the Finidi vids he can get then he has a valid wish. I'd rather have guys who want to be better than Finidi than have guys who want to be like some scrub player. Finidi was exceptional, I'm glad we have someone looking to be better than him.

Bros your post reeks of self esteem issues. If he says he wants to be better than Ronaldo, I wont begrudge him that. It is a goal and nothing wrong with that.
But if he says he is better than FINIDI, then he is arrogant and delusional.
