Re: Calvin "Baresi" Bassey
oboy the thing weak me oo, a grown man who comes to the internet on a football forum, gets so worked up and goes around blocking people, this shows there are really folks who like to talk, but once the spot light is on them exposing their limited brain work, they cannot handle it and get all sensitive.. the audacity to even beat his chest saying he blocked someone , as if he pays to feed, cloth, educate the person..kaidanfo driver wrote: ↑Sun Jul 23, 2023 3:19 pmYou are truy a silly b1tch.

Re: Calvin "Baresi" Bassey
Bassey was severely criticised last seasons by several Ajax veterans and commentators. Whilst this criticism are genuine and calls for concern. I have a feeling that this is due to the defensive role he was given. Bassey was played as a Centre Back (CB) in Ajax which was overwhelming to him, despite been a Left Full Back (FB) who claims he can play all role in the defence. Defensive mistakes are most costly and pronounced in CB compared to FB, as a result CB mistakes are more goal bound compared to FB, as FB in most cases would have CB covering for their defensive shortcomings. Thus playing a CB position requires extreme calculation, thoroughness, caution, and clinical in tackles, etc. These skills mostly come with experience over time. This why in most cases CB are mostly compose of older defenders compared to FB which are relatively younger. FB on the other hand are expected to support the teams attack beside defensive duties, agility and youthfulness could be an advantage there.
Ajax is a Champions league team (Big Club) and have handed Bassey a CB position, besides having an expectation to win the Eredivisie, they played big clubs like Napoli, Liverpool, etc. and was expecting a decent result. The burden of the defence duty was on Bassey whom in my honest was handling a role that was too big for him as his defensive shortcomings was brutally exposed. Should he had played the left back (FB) position, I believe it would have been lots easier for him to settle there due to his youthfulness and he would have improve on his defensive duties by learning from other experience defenders at lesser pressure of defensive responsibility. This is how Sergio Ramos, David Alaba, etc. started. These guys started as FB before been moved to CB. Hopefully in Bassey's future endeavours he should go back to his FB position to develop himself first before considering to switch to CB.

Re: Calvin "Baresi" Bassey
A decent team in France for now would have been better for this lad's development, he needs to build his confidence and learn the technicality of the game. I pray he doesn't get consumed with this relegation bound premiership team and become just like an ordinary/any player other we have had in our national team. I wish good luck on his decision.
Re: Calvin "Baresi" Bassey
To the boy’s credit, he wanted to stay in Ajax and fight for his place but the new coach didn’t give him that opportunity.So he’s on his way to join the Fulham squad in the US, where he will have his medicals.
He was scapegoated for a poor season by Ajax and the criticism was mostly unjustified.
The team didn’t improve when he was left out, and the likes of Timber and Blind made more mistakes than him but didn’t suffer the level of criticism because they are Dutch.
One of the criticisms was that he couldn’t pass the ball! Can you believe that?

Re: Calvin "Baresi" Bassey
It’s funny how they pointed the finger solely on Bassey and yet some of the other culprits are no longer at Ajax. Timber got sold and Blind got released & the coach got let go. Johnny Heitinga was out of his league coaching Ajax to one of their worst finish in a long time.Dammy wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2023 9:04 pm To the boy’s credit, he wanted to stay in Ajax and fight for his place but the new coach didn’t give him that opportunity.So he’s on his way to join the Fulham squad in the US, where he will have his medicals.

Re: Calvin "Baresi" Bassey
I understand your point. But truth be told Bassey can be clumsy sometimes possibly due to loss of concentration. Some of the criticism are valid and should be taken seriously. At his level of exposure and experience I don't think he is ready for a CB position particularly at top football level. A position of FB is most likely suitable for him. CB are mainly suitable for older and experienced defenders, and they get better with age just like goalkeepers. CB forms most of the great captains/skippers. e.g. Chukwu, Keshi, Okechukwu, Yobo, Puyol, Ramos, Song, Baresi, Maldini, Terry, Ferdinard, Pepe, etc. Bassey for now doesn't strike me like someone whom is prepared to take a leading/responsibility role in the defence line. All three Nations Cup we won had CB as the captain. This tells you how CB takes responsibility.Dammy wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2023 9:04 pm To the boy’s credit, he wanted to stay in Ajax and fight for his place but the new coach didn’t give him that opportunity.So he’s on his way to join the Fulham squad in the US, where he will have his medicals.
He was scapegoated for a poor season by Ajax and the criticism was mostly unjustified.
The team didn’t improve when he was left out, and the likes of Timber and Blind made more mistakes than him but didn’t suffer the level of criticism because they are Dutch.
One of the criticisms was that he couldn’t pass the ball! Can you believe that?
