Taiwo Awoniyi has revealed the secret to getting his first call-up to the Super Eagles, ahead of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Central African Republic.
After being snubbed in the past, Awoniyi eventually got his first invitation following injury to Terem Moffi.
Awoniyi has scored five goals in seven games in the Bundesliga for Union Berlin this season.
