Aigbogun please work on every aspect.the last team u rolled out was an eyesore. I just hope the blend of foreign based players will help conceal ur inadequacies to a considerable extent. Otherwise,it looks like u have nothing to offer.
U30 National team.
The only positives i’m taking out of this team is that more of our foreign-borns are being giving an opportunity.
