@emperorkimi9 @FatAdedotun Please no one will make that argument cause it both involved fit athlete of same career, it's just like arguing about exercise and saying that push up is harder that pull up. It doesn't make sense.

Twitter is indeed a leveler. Wow.
In the fitness/practical session for my UEFA B Lizenz selection exams, after the crazy warm up (taken by ex Union Berlin coach), next up is a 5v5 (instructors were former Bundesliga pro). I was in the first set. 12mins.
It was hell for us all! Including the semi-pro and pro players (they are still actively playing and super fit)!!!
Constant movements, constant 1v1. No where to hide. GKs were instructed to not keep the ball more than 5secs.
After we were stopped for the next set and went to get water, one of the semi-pro guys while shaking his said and breathing heavily like all of us, said "boah, B Lizenz ist Luxuriös digga" (English: woah, B Lizenz ist luxury bro); meaning it's not necessary and we were overreaching.
We all laughed hard because we honestly felt super super exhausted. Well, we still had another round before we now went for a 11v11.
All of us were super relieved to do the 11v11 because we know we can now properly catch our breath. You move together as a team and it's easier to have a breather here and there.
I said all of that to say, I'm no pro and yet I can tell you it's way harder than whatever you think it is. At least the standard 5v5 at the highest level. Not our jeun jeun version.
And it's so so laughable that you are arguing with a Pro who have been through the toughest training regimes in the football world and say he doesn't understand football. Lol.
No one can thrive under the Scandinavian weather as a footballer and also thrive in Germany (best coaching system ITW), tell you this is what's correct and you just say "this a proof that one can be a pro footballer and still know nothing about football".
Lol.
Somtochukwu Evans 🇳🇬@_Somtochi
This is proof that one can be a pro footballer and still know nothing about football. How you go talk say 5 aside hard pass 11v11? Do you know the amount of fitness training you do as a pro just to keep fit for 90 mins? Thats asides tactical training and gym work lol And before anyone comes for me, I’m sure other pro players would have a different opinion from his.

🎙️David Beckham defends Jeremy Doku against critics saying ‘he’ll never get that moment back’
🗣️“I’ve seen some people saying Jeremy Doku is letting his country down by leaving for the birth of his child, and I think that’s completely unfair.
Football is incredibly important, but there are moments in life that are bigger than the game. Becoming a father for the first time is one of them.
People talk a lot about family values in football until a player actually chooses his family, then suddenly it becomes a debate. Jeremy has given everything for Belgium whenever he’s pulled on that shirt. Missing a match or two to be present for the birth of his child doesn’t make him any less committed to his country.
When your career is over, medals and trophies stay in a cabinet. The memories of being there when your child enters the world stay with you forever.
Anyone criticising him should put themselves in his shoes for a moment. I think he’s making a decision that any good father would be proud of.”

@EnnyMan07 No, let them play one against one lets see who the GOAT is. You guys want him to be dragging by his team mate to win an uncertain match and began to push agenda. Messi against Ronaldo if them born am well make him accept the challenge.

One match and NFF dodged a bullet ke?
AFCON winner with underdog Zambia & Ivory Coast. 3-time coach of the year on our continent,
Tunisia have called him to take over a team he didn’t qualify to the World Cup, barely knows the players. He joined mid tournament to work out something in few days.
Bro was chilling in his house in Senegal before they called him on the phone. How did Nigeria dodge a bullet?

NFF dodged a bullet, and his salary ehn.. 😮💨

@oku_yungx If you can't put your country over your self then you are not worthy to represent that country dumb bastard

So what is wrong with what he said? He should choose his country over the birth of his child?
Are you people normal?
The niggas calling him foolish are actually the crazy ones tbh.
When e reach your turn, put your country over your family dumb bastards.

English
@Deezah_Abu @Yolisa @_trip99 Have you seen a woman make decision out of emotions? What do you know about responsibilities and sacrifice? People weight priorities and in this case he let the team down. As a coach I would have to take decision for the team as well, which means i will have to drop him.

@PoojaMedia You guys think playing football professionally is some kind of professional course we take in school is peak foolery, most of those professional footballers not too sound academically. us that play it for most of our life but didn't go professionally n them are not 2 different.
English
@blackveron What is it that you played in 5 aside that you can't play in full field? But let me tell you what you do in full field that you don't do in 5 aside, you don't have to cover 400m space all alone with full speed. You think understand is the same as playing professionally?
English
A lot of options has been shared in relations to whether 11v11 is more difficult to play than 5v5 and for most people who understand or played on a professional level will tell you 5v5 will expose all your weaknesses and that doesn't matter if you're a goal keeper or striker.
Victor Boniface and many other professional shared their takes on this matter but we still have people with strong heads saying 11aside is harder than 5aside. The same Boniface advice you players who are looking to go pro that during your trial period you will play more 5v5 than 11aside game because that's where you can be exposed.
The games are very different and the rules are as well but the major things about this games are the intensity to defend and attack the same time and even a goal keeper feel it the most depending on the space you're playing in.
5v5 will text your shooting, dribbling, decision making, defence ability, creativity, link up plays, and the mentality to win a game. There are variations to this games and you can play it based on what the coach wants to achieve with the training.
But the classic 5v5 to test players conditions with the intensity and workload required for the meters covered, accelerations, decelerations, sprints, and heart rates and the lactic acid levels of the players are no jokes for any professional.
Abiola Dauda@blackveron
When you play in 11 aside games you don't touch the ball a lot and you have more time to rest than playing 5v5 games. 5v5 is the most intensive game you can play in trainings and that's where coaches pick their starting 11 for the weekend games. You also Argue that 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, 5v5, 6v6, 7v7 are all games that coaches use for intensive training sessions and during this games that are played for 3-6min per games you get all you need to play in a 11v11 games.

The monetisation pandemic means we are forced to consume moronic takes like this every day, and it is tiring. Becoming a father would be the greatest thing ever to happen to that man, and a football tournament is not war. With or without him, the match would go on. But that baby needs him the moment it draws its first breath and lets out its first cry.

That's the difference between men of old and the modern man When most of you were birthed, your father's weren't even present, they were busy working. Because that's the most important thing a father can do for his wife and child - to work What's the point of a man being present at the birth of a child? Standing outside the maternity ward just pacing around like a mad man. Or let's say you even get inside, what can you possibly do besides hold her hand, saying "push" as if the nurses can't do that This is the World Cup, it's your country at war with other nations. You're no different from a soldier on the frontlines saying I need to be excused so I can go see my wife giving birth This is the current state of modern men, just emotional decisions, to appear good to a female biased society OVER their duty.

@9ja_Ballers I like you ball knowledge, people are too emotional when it comes to issues of that has to do with them or the people they love. None of them was ever part of FIFA 11 at their prime. When someone is world class everyone in the football community will recognize them.
English
Kanu wasn't World class, he was an average technical player who was even part of the core players in the teams he played for.
Okocha, you must be joking sha to call Okocha a World class player, he played for freaking Bolton.
Mikel Obi, wasn't World Class, he is great but Top 5 DMs during the time he played at Chelsea you won't mention him.
Stop being sentimental.
Lukas Not Podolski@OtitoNosike
Fact 1: Kanu, Jay-Jay Okocha and John Mikel Obi were all world-class in their day and, more recently, Victor Osimhen too. Fact 2: Kanu, Mikel Obi and Okocha all performed at the highest level for well over a decade. I genuinely do not understand what exactly you are driving at with this argument.

You will think you are fully fit cause you go to the gym frequently, wait till you go and play ball. You fit survive 5 aside but full pitch, oh brother.
English
@UltimateHaterX @Odumodublvck_ Have noticed that all what you listed happened because it is done by professionals who play in full field? You can't say the same to those who ain't use to playing in full field. In full field, one 50m run alone will kill you.
English
Valid point Boss, Off ball movement in 11v11 is genuinely underrated defensive transitions, pressing triggers, runs in behind that never get the ball. That workload is invisible on a highlight reel but very real on your legs.
But apply that same logic to 5 aside and it gets worse. In 5 aside your off ball movement has to be INSTANT because the ball arrives back before you've even recovered from your last run. There's no 30 second phase where you jog back into shape. The game resets in seconds.
Off ball running exists in both. 5 aside just doesn't give you time to breathe between each one.

BIG FIELD WEY MESSI DEY WAKA,

5 ASIDE IS LIKE BASKETBALL
WAY HARDER IN TERMS ON STAMINA.
FOR BASKETBALL YOU MUST RUN BACK.
NOWADAYS MESSI DEY EVEN STAND ONE PLACE. 😂😭
11 ASIDE NA SENSE.
5 ASIDE YOU NO GET CHOICE.
YOU MUSY RUN.

@UltimateHaterX @Odumodublvck_ Not touching ball doesn't mean nothing running my friend
English
In 11v11 a fullback can go 10-15 mins barely touching the ball. A striker can walk through phases and still look busy. In 5-aside? There is NOWHERE to hide. Every 3-4 seconds the ball can reach you again. You are involved in literally every phase of play. That's not easier. That's exhausting.
English
@PoojaMedia Tell me 1 professional 5 aside player that can cover 11km in 90m play and I will compare him with Kante and see who has more stamina.
English
Give to Nigerians, they can argue with facts & even Google..
Professional players are saying 5-aside is harder not the jeun jeun or the ones you played with friends but on a professional level but una still dey argue 🤣
Even small m0nkey post, you go mark tire.
English
@blackveron @Huncho_golden You are confused bro, anyone playing in full field can play 5 aside but not everyone playing 5 aside can survive full field.
English
@Huncho_golden Basketball players won't survive 1min of 5aside football but a footballer can manage on the court.
English
@endian_YRN @the_smallie You don't learn intensity in 5 aside, you learn ball control and navigation in tight space.
English
@the_smallie E get why e be say na aside games professional footballers Dey use build intensity for training . If you be footballer or you pass through real footballer academy or training , you no go talk this thing .
English
@UtdNacicist @the_smallie When growing up we use to train in small field with ease but whenever we went to play match in big field, we use to feel the difference.
Even when we are of age we use to talk all this small small team to stadium for a match in order to punish them.
English
@the_smallie People confuse 11 vs 11 of a real match with 5 aside for training...bro 5 aside is brutal more physically demanding.....that's why training sessions are usually 5 aside
