Today, I say goodbye to the game that gave me everything. Twenty years ago, I left home with nothing but a dream. I never knew where football would take me, only that I would give it everything I had. The journey wasn’t easy. There were sacrifices, setbacks, victories, tears, and moments I’ll cherish forever. Every shirt I wore, every teammate I stood beside, and every supporter who believed in me became part of my story. To my family, friends, coaches, teammates, and fans—thank you for carrying me through every chapter. I leave the pitch with no regrets, only gratitude. Football shaped my life, and I will love this game forever. This is not the end—it’s the beginning of a new chapter. Thank you for everything. ❤️⚽ — Abiola Dauda

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.

Let's talk about training and how hard you need to push yourself at home before you go for any trials. I remember when I knew that I will be traveling for a trial, i stopped going out of my neighbourhood to play football and I just locked in on training for 2month straight. I will do a roadside jogging from my house to the pitch at Ashiribo and I will train for like 2hrs or more and that was my routine every week except Sundays to rest and I did that for 2 months. Victor McDonald assigned me a coach to train and get me ready and he was by far the hardest I have ever trained. Days where I will tie a tyre around my waist to run on the sand, I did a lot of running,strength training, speed work on the sand with tyre. People who see me train have no idea why I was k!lling myself to train that hard. I once trained with Raphael Edereho a guy who I was looking up at that time and I was not able to walk for 2 days after training with him. I trained like my life depends on it. And I stayed away from many things that will slow me down like, bad friends, drinking, sm0king, including girls and I was just locked in on my purpose to make it happen and it paid off. After 3 months that I left Nigeria the news broke out that I signed for Sölvesborg GIF and People were surprised to see it in the news paper and even my father got asked questions like how or when did I traveled. I thought I trained well enough but to my surprise I was no where near ready at all. I couldn't believe what I saw during the trainings I had to call one of my coaches back home and tell him how hard the trainings are for me. The new generation of young players don't like to train and they except someone to just come and say I will take you to trials. Many have failed not because they don't have the talent but because they don't train enough to meet the standards and social media has made them think otherwise. Your preparation is the most important thing you can do for sure yourself and just like Kobe Bryant said if you are well prepared for it you will not be afraid of failure.
