Nigerian Marvin Park makes Real Madrid debut

[The YeyeMan]

Marvin Park made his debut for Real Madrid tonight in their 2-0 win over Huesca.

Here's more information on him:

The big team news for Real Madrid’s game against Getafe in La Liga tonight is midfielder Marvin Park being handed his first senior start for the club.

The 20-year-old’s full name is Marvin Olawale Akinlabi Park and he was born in Palma de Mallorca to a Nigerian father and South Korean mother.

He played for five different youth sides in the Balearic Islands and also spent three years of his youth career at English club Tranmere Rovers, due to his parents moving to the UK for work purposes, before he joined Madrid in 2016, and is now front and centre of Real Madrid news.

Alvaro Benito, who coached him at Juvenil C level for Madrid has said of Park, as per Marca: “He is a footballer with sprinter’s feet. Marvin is one of the fastest players I have ever seen.

“For his logical evolution, perhaps as a winger he may not have enough resources to be able to stand out in professional football but if he acquires defensive concepts, he can be an excellent wideman and better coming from deep with an open pitch.”

Park has actually featured twice in the division already this season for Los Blancos but both as substitute appearances – in the opening day draw at Real Sociedad and during Saturday’s win at Huesca, but this is his first start.

Last season he played a prominent role in the UEFA Youth League as he scored a goal in the quarter finals, made two assists in the semi-finals, and provided one more in the final.

He declared for Korea.

[TonyTheTigerKiller]

He wasn’t born in Nigeria and didn’t declare for Nigeria so, he’s not a Nigerian; at least until he switches to Nigeria


Cheers.

I wonder how he has a Korean surname when his Dad is Nigerian.

Because he's Korean first.

Yeyeman,

Is this guy a Nigerian player? If not, this piece really belongs in another forum and not here.

He probably wasn’t close to his dad

It belongs here as long as we see threads about Eberechi Eze here.

Posts about Eberechi Eze shouldn’t be allowed on the Eagles Nest either

I think it's fair game for Eagles Nest until he plays for La Furia Roja.

In Asia it seems they take up their mother's last name after the baby's born. An example of that is Tennis Star Naomi Osaka, whose father is Haitian and a Japanese mother and by her culture she uses her mother's last name.

Closer home i believe(?) they do so too in Ghana.

No they don't. The Akans are matrilineal but it is not the requirement or the norm norm for children to carry their mothers' surname. Being matrilineal only means they inherit from their mother's side of the family. Whatever the man has when he dies goes goes to his nephews (this one in particular i believe is specific to the Ashantis and not all Akans). but their matrilineal system and the various Twi variations they speak is what makes them Akan. For example, Akan chiefs or royalty is inherited through the mother. In Ghana this is only done by the Akans. I believe Ivorian Akans also have the same system

This sh1t thread still dey here? Even after the howling and tears of the dog?

[The YeyeMan]

Imagine stalking a Yeyeman around the forum.

Imagine being sent overseas to make money for the family back home but instead spend your days logging into CE to twerk for Mourinho.

Imagine shaking your hindquarters from thread to thread.

If you can imagine that then you've imagined a day in the life of danfo the dirty dog.

Marvin Park declares for Korea
Musiala declares for Germany
Nigerian exports Dads are losing their ability to bring them back home.

Sadly, it may come back to bite them in the nyash. The smart ones that decided to play for their fatherland enjoy playing 90 mins at the World Stage. Hell Boateng Prince used 2010 WC to get a move from Portsmouth/Genoa to AC Milan.

Sidney Sam played 5x for Germany scoring 0 goals, Agbonlahor played only 3x for England scoring 0 goals and many more. I am sure Alaba regretted not playing for Nigeria.

Cheii! Marvin spits in the face of the dog???

As usual, the Moderators and Admins continue to do a fantastic job, quickly knowing that this sh1t thread is not EaglesNest worthy! Great job guys!

Alaba is the most important player from his country in almost 80 years, Nigeria just didn't/couldn't offer an invite.
