Yak was a legend.. from julius Berger to macabi haifa, middlesborough , to eveton . Yak the bull.. strength, silk, technical, and prolific. All this new stickers in eagles still dey learn.
There is a German player called Frank Mill. Today people still ask him about his miss for Dortmund 35yrs ago. Sometimes football fans only remember your low point. For me, I'm always a fan. Thank you for all you did for the national team.
Yakubu is the 3rd highest goal scorer of all time for the Super Eagles. He miss a chance but score so many important goals also. Messi and Ronaldo missed more seater goals also, gyan missed a penalty that could have given Ghana and Africa there first semi-final in a Worldcup, but they never bullied them. Nigeria can do better, I have defended Yakubu anywhere i see any of those rat ranting abt 14 yrs ago, They will receive sense by force. Big respect YAK!!!!
Yak, you missed the goal because you were actively working for your country. Those who do nothing will never make a mistake. Nigerians should always accept both good and undesired results from their players, after all it's a game. We celebrate you Yak.
Honestly Yak,, u made other teams in Priemer league to be afraid of you. I feel very proud of you when people from other countries sited in a video club listening to them saying " You people should watch out for this Nigeria stricker ooh" You make 10:37 me feel Edo, you make me feel Nigeria anywhere I go. Edo state is known for producing great stricker. Thank you....
It's not missing that goal that still gets most persons who are still angry irritated; it's the fact that Yakubu said he will never apologize and he has never. We see players make less errors and come to apologize and everyone moves on and it's no big deal. But when you are proud like Yakubu, you will have to deal with people who are still mad.
@@olatunjiadebayo1280 When next someone messes up some work you paid them to do and refuse to apologize, you can go on and pat them on the back and show them gratitude.
The Yak. He was a goal machine. Even though Nigerians remember the missed goal in SA, that would have led that team to progress further in that tournament.
The problem with that miss was that it overshadowed probably one of the worst tournaments I've seen from Nigeria from a tactical perspective. For a majority of those games Yakubu was isolated chasing lost causes while the likes of odemwingi and martins were on the bench. Every game those two came onto the field with Yakubu upfront we looked better attacking, and I'm left wondering why we didn't play like that from the beginning. The game against Korea was a great example of this, we never created enough chances throughout the game as our manager decided employ a reserved game instead of being more brave.
Yeah we have moved on with that goal bro... I believe in football or anything their is something that you can just forget in time... And this is one of it...
It is football and should not resort to the bullying. Yak is right. They are rats who have never contributed anything to the nation and community. Nigeria went out due to lackadaisical preparation.
Yak think about those who can not afford a square meal in Nigeria and you want them to go support nigeria at just concluded afcon ,niaja system isn't working note that
This is just crazy!! With all the many goals he scored for the super eagles, the only thing that stuck into their head is that miss. Some African should do better.. is this the motherfucking thanks he gets??? We need to learn to appreciate our champions.... there are also human beings like us. They can make mistakes too...
Though I blamed yakubu to a certain degree for missing that goal, I also realize that most players would have missed that opportunity too. But his reaction after the miss was more painful. I also realize that the movement of the ball while in motion and at certain speed at any point in time determines to a certain degree where it goes when you kick it. Its simple physics. However, his reaction also showed he didnt really position his legs well with an aim to score knowing the football event he came for which is the world cup.
Didn't you hear what he said? He said he was smiling bcoz in his mind he thought was a goal as it was jst a tap in,, b4 he realised it was miss.imagine if he missed that penalty after the first miss
The podcast has good potential. Couple of things: the volume on Yak's microphone seems not to be high enough. He also seemed to deviate and not provide answers to some of the questions he was asked. Looking forward to the next episode.
People don’t remember the good you do but just one mistake will be like you have always been doing bad. You did well don’t blame yourself. The fans referring to your daughter is very very wrong in every sense,your children shouldn’t be involved , it is very disrespectful and dishonouring.
Even Erlin Haaland missed an open goal recently against Man Utd. So nobody wey nor dey miss. That being said, the part where he said a fan asked him how he'll explain that miss to his daughter off me 🤣🤣🤣
the probability of open net goal is 99% while 1% is the unlikely. unfortunately that 1% decided to manifest that day. Even Messi and Ronaldo and the best players have missed such goals. Mr. Yak do no let this bother you joor.
It was that smile that make everyone vex even when he later scored people were not interested..because he was happy when so many nigerians were harts broken .only God no if people nor died for that match😂😂😂😂
It's a very bad miss because he shouldn't even be aiming for that corner in the first instance. As a professional why was his posture set up like that? There were no defenders around him and the goalkeeper made a mistake rushing away. So why does he set up his posture for the corner and isn't actually even facing the goal? It is interesting because when I watched it live and even several years after, I thought it was a bad miss like everyone else that has missed sitters before, but it is actually even WORSE than I thought. Because even if he had scored, it is a weird posture. He had like 100 different parts of the goal he could have targeted and easily scored in and he chose one of the harder ones for no reason whatsoever. He should not have been aiming for that corner. You aim for the corner when the goalkeeper is central to you. Basically what it means is that Yak was not paying attention to anything going on and was shooting 100% on instinct.
You're so out of touch as a professional. It is typical of fans to criticize you cos they pay your salary directly/indirectly. It's hypocritical to call fans(parents) out for not serving naija... Soccer is your job, you were paid for it. That's not a service to naija.
I know was a great footballer no doubt but when I remember him, I remember that miss. It’s painful but that’s what comes to my head first. He was a great player no doubt ❤
Yakubu issue is completely different with iwobi . Yakubu was a trusted player by nigerians , we didn't expect him to loose that goal. But iwobi isn't a good player who's playing with okocha influence
Yak was a legend.. from julius Berger to macabi haifa, middlesborough , to eveton . Yak the bull.. strength, silk, technical, and prolific. All this new stickers in eagles still dey learn.
Yak was a legend, missed that goal, but had the Liver to step up to the penalty!
Some of us loved Yak from the day one and never backed away from it, I can’t even express why I loved him. And I hope to meet him one day

Yakubu’s physical strength isn’t spoken about enough!! Dude was a fucking mule
thats why he was nicknamed the Yak.
It's not missing that goal that still gets most persons who are still angry irritated; it's the fact that Yakubu said he will never apologize and he has never.
We see players make less errors and come to apologize and everyone moves on and it's no big deal. But when you are proud like Yakubu, you will have to deal with people who are still mad.
He doesn't owe us an apology. But we owe him gratitude
Exactly. Well said. It is his rudeness not to apologise as if it was small mistake.
@@olatunjiadebayo1280 When next someone messes up some work you paid them to do and refuse to apologize, you can go on and pat them on the back and show them gratitude.
He owns us no apology ....pls waiting d apology Wan do for u as u dey ask???
Feed the yaks and he will score!!! Big name❤
Dude is one of our best strikers in history. Sometimes football can be harsh
Yakubu is a Legend
I was expecting an apology from Yak, prior to that miss.
However, my apologies for the guy that called yr daughter into this, that is disrespectful,
I had wondered; "where is Yakubu Aiyegbeni?". I knew this conversation was a long awaited (& necessary) one
It's just that when young people miss such goals they call them yakubu forgetting the old times when you scored
The Yak. He was a goal machine. Even though Nigerians remember the missed goal in SA, that would have led that team to progress further in that tournament.
Thank you for your service Yak
I am not a Nigerian but this fool missed great opportunity like Gyan
Point of correction, it was Japan-Korea 2002 world cup but not 2000.
Interview HaveHopeHut the Best Football (and Nigerian) Football Analyst. Yakubu's a legend.
The problem with that miss was that it overshadowed probably one of the worst tournaments I've seen from Nigeria from a tactical perspective.

My family and I love you so much yak God bless you and your family 🙏
Missing in world cup is different from missing in the Prem
Football is cruel
The miss was shocking but, every player has one like that.
The problem is not only the miss Yakubu was arrogant and refused to apologise. That miss was a disgrace.
That miss was heavy, but you scored some brilliant goals for club and country.
Yeah we have moved on with that goal bro... I believe in football or anything their is something that you can just forget in time... And this is one of it...
The fools still talking about that miss aren't matured enough and has never gone near the real football pitch. Most of them sound very foolish.
Yak was the best Nigerian 🇳🇪 striker I’ve ever seen.
No Julius Aghahowa
Legend
That miss was unbelievable. And Nigeria went out .
It is football and should not resort to the bullying. Yak is right. They are rats who have never contributed anything to the nation and community. Nigeria went out due to lackadaisical preparation.
Yak think about those who can not afford a square meal in Nigeria and you want them to go support nigeria at just concluded afcon ,niaja system isn't working note that
yak you should understand that those who love you are more, frustrated in life are looking are looking for poeple to pour it on
This is just crazy!! With all the many goals he scored for the super eagles, the only thing that stuck into their head is that miss. Some African should do better.. is this the motherfucking thanks he gets??? We need to learn to appreciate our champions.... there are also human beings like us. They can make mistakes too...
Sir take accountability and rest. Its in the past
Though I blamed yakubu to a certain degree for missing that goal, I also realize that most players would have missed that opportunity too. But his reaction after the miss was more painful. I also realize that the movement of the ball while in motion and at certain speed at any point in time determines to a certain degree where it goes when you kick it. Its simple physics. However, his reaction also showed he didnt really position his legs well with an aim to score knowing the football event he came for which is the world cup.
Yakubu was smiling after that miss, he shouldn't have.
Yak was a great footballer during his time though
Didn't you hear what he said? He said he was smiling bcoz in his mind he thought was a goal as it was jst a tap in,, b4 he realised it was miss.imagine if he missed that penalty after the first miss
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂 people are very wicked oo so they are still asking him questions .
That miss sha. But yak is amongst the greatest African player.
Respect
The podcast has good potential. Couple of things: the volume on Yak's microphone seems not to be high enough. He also seemed to deviate and not provide answers to some of the questions he was asked. Looking forward to the next episode.
Nigeria wonderful striker
People don’t remember the good you do but just one mistake will be like you have always been doing bad.
You did well don’t blame yourself.
The fans referring to your daughter is very very wrong in every sense,your children shouldn’t be involved ,
it is very disrespectful and dishonouring.
Cyber bullying is not good but how could you miss that too ?😢😅
Even Erlin Haaland missed an open goal recently against Man Utd. So nobody wey nor dey miss.
That being said, the part where he said a fan asked him how he'll explain that miss to his daughter off me 🤣🤣🤣
Yakubu miss then stop me from watching Nigeria super eagles matches 😂life tire me then
the probability of open net goal is 99% while 1% is the unlikely. unfortunately that 1% decided to manifest that day. Even Messi and Ronaldo and the best players have missed such goals. Mr. Yak do no let this bother you joor.
you bet your balls there is no one like JAY JAY,
Hey the same we do to Asamoah Gyan in Ghana lol
Yak we have moved on…We have made peace with the god of soccer. Normally, that ball was supposed to go in. 😊
It was that smile that make everyone vex even when he later scored people were not interested..because he was happy when so many nigerians were harts broken .only God no if people nor died for that match😂😂😂😂

Korea/Japan 2002 Not 2000
ETIM ESIM IS CLOSEST TO JAY JAY

Korea/Japan World Cup is 2002 and not 2000...

He was a great player no doubt ❤
