Super Eagles defender, Tyronne Ebuehi has revealed that he can’t question the decision of Gernot Rohr to bench him during last Saturday’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Benin.
Recall that the Super Eagles defeated Benin 1-0 to break their 8-year unbeaten home record and also book a ticket to the bi-annual tournament slated for Cameroon.
Speaking in an interview with a Lagos-based radio station ahead of the game against Lesotho on Tuesday at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Ebuehi stated that he’s more delighted to be part of the senior national team.
“I am always confident in myself. I think everybody wants to play but at the end of the day the coach makes a decision and we as players have to respect it.
“But if I play I will be happy, if I have to sit on the bench I will equally be happy because like I said it’s already an honor to be here with the team.”

Good boy , intelligent and nice answer !!
@Steve Osuoha… walahi, if Rohr play this guy for RB, nobody go smell that jersey again. Ebuehi is an extremely intelligent and technical player with insane confidence. Nigeria and Super Eagles are spoilt for choice of dependable personnel. Coach Rohr has done a good job getting us ample quality squad members… may Coach Rohr wax even stronger and leave a decent legacy just like Westerhoff. One love…
Pls can someone prove to me that this is @JIMMYBALL talking?
Is it that i’m missing something???
I’m still pondering over it…
My favourite Eagle! I hope Rohr plays you in tomorrow’s dead rubber game against a very lightweight Lesotho.
Lesotho isn’t a lightweight bro.
Good talk, but Rohr the guy has seen a lot of bench role. Please let him start tomorrow, we need to see his sweet moves again.
Is he that good
What silly question to be asking. Competent RB any day any time. Abeg go watch his game at his club.
Benin promise $30,000-a-man to qualify for 2021 AFCON…..(c) SCORENigeria.

We have missed this in the SE for a while now….Lol.
Rohr is helping NFF and Sports ministry save a lot of money.
@Dr. Drey
honestly speaking…. This is exactly what we use to suffer…. LOL
Rohr deserve respect from our sport ministry even though we know they’re not happy bcos they (NFF) use to get something from that promises too….
NEVERTHELESS I’M STILL WAITING PATIENTLY FOR OUR EX TO COME OUT AND SAY SOMETHING….
Lol
That’s very correct @Drey, just imagine South Africa could not qualify, even with their highly rated south african league
@Dr Drey, you remind me of our modus operandi in those years, $10k for each goal scored, LMOA.
Truly speaking, whoever does not see what Rohr has brought into our dear SE is really an enemy of progress
Tyronne Ebuehi us the most undervalued Super Eagle.Gernot Rohr takes advantage of this guy’s polished character to leave him on the bench. Very unfair!!
EBUEHI PLEASE TO B OFFENDED, WE NIGERIA ARE ALL FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU. WE ARE ALL HAPPY THAT WE HAVE CONFIRM TWO RIGHT-WING BACK FOR SUPER EAGLE FOR SURE NOW COMPARED TO OLDEN DAYS WE DON’T HAVE REPLACEMENT.
WE WILL LIKE TO SEE U PLAY AGAINST LESOTHO WITH GOOD PERFORMANCE & ONE GOAL FROM U. AMEN.
*** DON’T B DISCOURAGED ,KEEP CONTINUE WORKING HARD *””
Wow. What a nice attitude. We are so proud of you!
Playing for a modest team in the Dutch league is the reason Ebuehi has been overlooked.I wish he hadn’t the injury that kept him from playing football for a longtime at Benfica.
Apparently,playing regular football for Benfica would have made him a starter for the super eagles.
The super eagles of today has quality and the league you play for matters and if you play outside the top 5 European league then you must play for some of the best team in the league you ply your trade.
It’s a standard Rohr has used to make players ambitious which also has helped to improve the team.
