Não sou de me entusiasmar muito com contratações, talvez porque ao longo de todos estes anos já vi muitas promessas não passarem disso mesmo. Mas, com 25 anos de sócio do Sporting, esta é a 2ª vez que me custa a esperar por ver um jogador vestir a nossa camisola. A 1ª foi com o Rijkaard (lembram-se?), a 2ª é com este miúdo. Vejam-no no Sábado e perceberão porquê.
19 Aug - 16:00 GWANGYANG Nigeria Nigeria 2:1 (1:0) - Rabui marcou 1 golo
22 Aug - 20:00 GWANGYANG Japan Japan 0:3 (0:2)
25 Aug - 19:00 JEJU Nigeria vs. Haiti - Este jogo não sei se será transmitido na Eurosport. Na programação do canal aparece lá a transmissão de um jogo do Campeonato Mundial de sub-17 às 7:30 da manhã, mas não tenho a certeza se será a Nigéria.
É transmitido de qq forma no site da Fifa, e com excelente qualidade diga-se de passagem!
Confesso que não queria perder tempo a ver sem ter a certeza que o Rabiu é nosso jogador!!!
A nigéria tem bons jogadores, o 2, o 8, o Keeper, e claro o 10…mas só vale o tempo se for jogador d SCP…
As noticias do site do record, n servem. No site do SCP no plantel dos juniores o nome dele não está!!!
Mas também diga-se de passagem que o Sporting não desmentiu nada.
Amanhã ninguém transmite o jogo da Nigéria, dá na Eurosport às 8:00 da manhã o Espanha vs Argentina.
Mas sempre dá para ver no site da FIFA.
O jogo será ás 19.30, hora portuguesa ?
Não, é por volta das 11 horas da manhã, 19 locais (Coreia).
Foi também essa a minha opinião:
Sobre Rabiu, espero que não se tenham enganado, porque não vi nada de extraordinário. Não sei como o comparam ao Jay-Jay Okocha... Mas vi bons jogadores como Ganiyu OSENI (2), que apesar de estar no site da Fifa com defesa, jogou sempre na frente, e com apontamentos muito bons. È o benjamim da equipa com 15 anos (marcador do 1 golo). King OSANGA (7) lembrou-me o Barbosa, mas com mais dinâmica. Macauley CHRISANTUS (9) com 2 golos marcados, é um jogador frio na concretização e faz jogar. O capitão Lukman HARUNA (20) deu boas indicações.Uma última palavra para Oladele AJIBOYE (12), guarda-redes com tremendos reflexos e elasticidade!

Ups, não tinha reparado. ???
Para quem está à espera de ver o Rabiu, através do Fifa.Com, no jogo que começa daqui a 30 minutos, contra o Haiti, vai ter de esperar, porque, pelo menos para já, o miúdo está a suplente.
Entretanto, podem entreter-se com um dos melhores “nós” que ja vi de um avançado a um defesa. É aos 3minutos e 10 segs deste video:
Autor? I. Rabiu
Eu consigo ver a imagem bastante bem, mas não surge som…isso acontece com vocês também…é que gostava de ver o Rabiu em acção, mas com som!!!
O Rabiu acabou de entrar. O comentador tinha dito que não deveria ser utilizado porque já tinha visto um cartão amarelo na fase de grupos mas aí está ele. E ainda disse que é um excelente jogador e que mais tarde ou mais cedo vai sair para um clube europeu, é uma questão de tempo… espero que já tenha saído mesmo…para nós de preferência.
Eu faça o que fizer não tenho som, só ouço o som de apresentação do jogo, aquela parte introdutória, quando entra no jogo nada…e tenho tudo instalado…não percebo…
Do que vi, já que só vi a segunda parte, que foi quando entrou o Ibrahim, pareceu-me um jogador com clara capacidade de criar desiquilibrios, seja utilizando a sua técnica em mudanças de velocidade, mudanças do ritmo de jogo e com boa capacidade de passe. Claro que não vi o suficiente, pois foi apenas o 1º jogo que vi, daí não poder fundamentar opinião mais aprofundada.
Saudações leoninas pessoal.
Sou novo a este forum e aos seus participantes, e este é o meu primeiro topico, que resolvi escrever, depois de ter lido um artigo no site Fifa.com, sobre o nosso menino “Rabiu Ibrahim”. Sim, sim até já a Fifa confirma a sua contratação por parte do nosso Sporting. Aqui têm uma parte do artigo:
"[i]…At 1.67m tall, Rabiu is one of the smaller members in the Nigeria U-17 squad. The Kano-born midfielder currently plays for FC Gateway in the Nigerian national championship, although his performances for the Golden Eaglets have already attracted the attention of European scouts. In fact, by the start of the FIFA U-17 World Cup, his club had received no less than 14 offers from other teams around the world. Despite interest from the likes of Real Madrid, Arsenal and Chelsea, he was eventually snapped up by Sporting Lisbon, who are waiting to whisk their new recruit off to their training academy once the curtain falls on Korea 2007.
Bertram Ekenwa, Rabiu’s agent and guardian angel, justifies the decision to join Sporting by pointing out the club’s reputation for developing young players. “He’s a young lad who still needs to develop his talents and who will definitely become one of the best midfielders in the world,” he explained on the day his protégé put pen to paper. “Sporting has one of the best youth development programmes in Europe and it will be easier for Rabiu to break into the first team, perhaps even the starting eleven, quite quickly.” Former Lions Luis Figo, Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani would certainly all agree that at Sporting, age is no barrier to success.
The Sporting Lisbon supporters will have plenty of chances to marvel at the qualities which have earnt Rabiu favourable comparisons with Okocha. While he excels at one-touch football, his long-range passing is even better. A playmaker in the traditional mould, Rabiu has all the qualities of the great man: vision, precise passing, long-distance shooting and perfect technique. The Eaglets’ young number ten even shows the same nonchalant style so typical of the former Bolton and Paris St Germain midfielder. During matches, Rabiu frequently treats spectators to an array of tricks including backheels, ball juggling and outrageous dummies, with varying degrees of success…[/i]"

Espero que fiquem contentes com este esclarecimento, pois penso ser uma mais valia para o nosso Sporting em termos futuros.
Abraço
Caro Xtr3m3-LeO, sê pois bem-vindo e parabéns pelo 1º post, já que era algo que muitos de nós andávamos à espera de ler. Parece que, agora sim, já não haverá lugar para dúvidas que o miúdo é nosso. E, já agora, quem puder, não perca, amanhã, o jogo da Nigéria para o WC u-17.
Penso que é às 9H00, portuguesas e dá na Eurosport 2, bem como na Fifa. com TV.
Reportagem completa:
[b][size=12pt]Rabiu in Okocha's footsteps[/size][/b]While it is every young footballer’s dream to be blessed with talent and assured of a glittering future, it is even more flattering to be compared with one of your heroes. Nevertheless, there is a flip side to fame and recognition, as proven by the many young footballers who have been prematurely saddled with such complementary titles as ‘the new Zidane’, ‘Pele’ or ‘Maradona’. At best, labels like these are a heavy burden to bear. At worst, they can have a damaging effect on a young footballer’s career.
Nevertheless, a combination of immense ability and a strong character can help to keep a young player focused. One bright prospect lucky enough to have both these qualities is Nigeria’s Rabiu Ibrahim. Aged just 16-and-a-half, the livewire midfielder’s performances during Africa’s showpiece youth tournament have earned him a reputation which extends far beyond the borders of Nigeria. Long known as ‘Maradona’ to his youth team pals, Rabiu is today considered by all of Nigeria as a worthy successor to none other than Augustine Jay-Jay Okocha. Admittedly the youngster has a few mountains to climb before he reaches the heights achieved by his celebrated predecessor, but his performances in the national shirt would suggest he has a glowing future ahead of him.
Aware of the expectations placed upon his shoulders, Rabiu is nonetheless ready to take up the challenge and fulfil the potential that so many people see in him. “My first goal is to help Nigeria win the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Korea,” he states confidently, convinced of his team’s pedigree. “Then, I’m going to work hard to try to become one of the best players in the world.”
The midfield maestro, who was in sparkling form during the CAF U-17 Championship 2007 in Togo, has continued to impress his admirers back home right from day one of the FIFA U-17 World Cup Korea 2007. Spearheading the Nigerian charge in the game against France, the youngster led the opposition defenders a merry dance with his mazy runs and unexpected passes, even scoring the winning goal in a 2-1 win over Les Bleuets.
Rabiu was at his impudent best against Japan in the second Group D match. Despite not finding the net, he was involved in all of Nigeria’s best moves. Spreading panic in the opposition rearguard with his incisive dribbles, blind passes and slide-rule passes, Rabiu was instrumental in helping Nigeria to a convincing 3-0 victory which ensured their qualification. Anxious to protect his prize asset ready for the knockout phase, Yemi Tella lined up a second-string team for the final group match against Haitil, resting a number of big names including the inspirational playmaker.
The Nigeria coach nevertheless delighted the spectators at Jeju stadium by giving his star midfielder a run-out for the final 25 minutes.
Getting the better of Jay-Jay

Only time will tell if the young Rabu can live up to his billing as the next Jay-Jay Okocha. In the meantime Rabiu intends to go one better by clinching a title which eluded his illustrious forebearer: the FIFA U-17 World Cup. In order to claim this prize, his team must first overcome Colombia. The task promises to be much easier provided that their midfield linchpin is firing on all cylinders when the whistle blows for kick-off this Thursday.

Que a estrutura do SCP monte um departamento que registe estas mensagens, de forma a valorizar ainda mais a nossa “produção”. O selo de qualidade é já reconhecido. Muito positivo a promoção que é feita no sítio da Fifa.
Juntamente com o Bojan, o melhor jogador do mundial sub17.
Enorme, enorme.
E amanhã joga a Nigéria, o site da FIFA transmite o jogo em directo.
Hehe,temos sério candidato a jogador mais jovem a jogar na equipa principal do Sporting
