In Wolfsburg, you could argue he was an 18 year old getting a first taste of European football
It could be argued, he laid the foundation for his subsequent emergence as leading striker for the SE, based on how he managed his minutes....
There are many things I do not like about Rohr, but thus far his personnel management has been spot on...
Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Re: Luis Ocampos: On Osimhen...
Thanks for sharing. Yesterday or so, I watched the 5 min YouTube interview which wasn’t complete (didn’t mention Osimhen). But, having watched his performance against Chelsea in a game where he got very little service, the boy’s overall capabilities leading the line is evident and with a high ceiling. I told my son before the game that he’s definitely going to a big team in a year or 2 max.

One of the most wanted men in football may not be the most familiar.
Sporting director Luis Campos has unearthed over £500m worth of footballing talent during his time at Monaco and Lille, and in an exclusive interview with Sky Sports, gives a fascinating insight into his methods.
His CV is quite something, helping unearth Kylian Mbappe, Nicolas Pepe, James Rodriguez, Anthony Martial, Fabinho, Bernardo Silva and Benjamin Mendy.
The 55-year-old has been sporting director at Lille since 2017, helping them return to the Champions League after discovering some of Europe's best talents while at Monaco from 2013.
Here, he talks through the key players he found, how he is determined to see players live - even for a few minutes - and whether he could be tempted out of Lille, having been linked with a number of European clubs over the summer, including Chelsea.
Victor Osimhen
His latest find, 20-year-old Nigerian forward Osimhen, has scored seven in 10 games for Lille, including against Chelsea last week.
"I went to Lagos to see the U17 World Championships. After one match I wanted him. But his price was very expensive for a 17-year-old. I spoke to my CEO. I called him every night saying, 'Please give me this player, he is amazing. In two years he will be one of the best in Europe'.
"In the end the player went to Wolfsburg. I went to Wolfsburg just to see him play. Sometimes he only played for five minutes, sometimes only two. I was crazy for him! Then he had a virus and had five or six months not playing and went to Charleroi in Belgium. Two months later I signed him. So itʼs a nice story. I lost the player but then got him back.
"If all is normal at the end of the season there will be a big move for him because he's like a cat. You know, if you have a cat and give it a ball! Heʼs unbelievable. In the last 20 metres he attacks every ball. Every ball. Like a cat."

I mean look at someone saying we will be in the finals of a World Cup and yet we don’t even have a functioning local league and are going around begging for left overs from other countries. Abeg guys stop dreaming and face our reality...
