Osemudiamen

By Uchendu Onuoha Precious.

FOOTBALL-The best way to success it is said is to follow the footsteps of those who have successfully journeyed before us. And that is exactly what Bright Osemudiamen Kelly, who turned 12 years today, October 26, 2017, is out to accomplish in far away Bundisliga (Germany).

Having started early, and was discovered at the same age and almost the same manner Leo Messi was discovered and groomed, Osemudiamen may end up becoming another whiz kid footballer. Affectionately called “Kelly” by his fans, friends and handlers, he was the latest sensation in the U13 Bundisliga where he plays as top striker for his new club, Fortuna Dusseldolf ( Germany). He is presently the top striker in his new club, KFC Uerdingen 05, krefeld-Germany 2018/2019 football season

This football wonder kid has left no one in doubt that he has been anointed and called to play the round leather game as the spirit of football is upon him. The field is his pulpit, his Bible is his legs, and his message is the gospel of football delivered through scoring goals to the ovation of his spectators whom the stadium is their temple. Once he steps into the field of play, he becomes possessed with the football spirit as the round leather obeys his commands as he meanders his way through like water in a creek, creeping through and tearing the opponent’s defence apart to score goals.

Ose is an embodiment of striking skills. A talented top striker and star in the making. A fast striker with an insatiable appetite for goals, he is aided by an excellent sense of positioning. He possesses the energy and technical skills of CR7 of Real Madrid, the mesmerizing runs of Messi of FC Barcelona, and the lethal finishing of Samuel Eto’o.

This star in the making is a delight to watch during soccer matches where he scores fantastic goals for his club.

Happy birthday!
