CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, BUT YOU SHOULD BE PLAYING IN A BIGGER AND MORE COMPETITIVE LEAGUE. CYPRUS JUST ISNT COMPETITIVE ENOUGH.
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT YOUR CAPABLE OF IF YOU KEEP HIDING OUT IN THESE LOWER LEAGUES WHERE YOU KEEP WINNING TROPHIES AFTER TROPHIES, BUT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO THE NITTY GRITTY AND YOUR FACED WITH THE BEST OF THE BEST YOU WILL BE FOUND WANTING.
NIGERIA SUPER EAGLES NEED PLAYERS WHO PLAY IN TOP LEAGUES AND ROB SHOULDERS WITH THE BEST OF THE BEST ON A WEEKLY BASIS SO THAT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT AND THEY FACE THE BEST OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS THEY WON’T BE OVERRUN
@ sportsfan, it’s well said. The guy is swimming majestically in a very small pool with no dept at his own and SE detriment.
I don’t blame him….I blame the coaches that keep inviting him to the national team….. On merit this guy won’t make Kenya’s national team….but he is starter in Nigeria….Watch how he will bench Ebuehi and Aina who are top5 league players this season….. Nigeria is a mistery so difficult to understand.
Starter for SE? Not true…Shehu hardly start games for SE….I feel the reason why they keep inviting him is because of Quota system
