Congratulations boy, keep up the good work.
Congratulations bro
Chukwueze should be in camp by now already…..late arrival is not acceptable and this is one of the things I really about coach Rhor.
How? He played yesterday night. Is he a magician?
Like about who? The one who gave Ighalo playing time after arriving late to camp on his rerurn to national team. Funny he had more minutes than some players that arrived to camp before him
How will you say that Rohr will bench anyone for arriving late. Ighalo came late to camp and he was benched the same way he benches Ighalo. Ighalo only plaid other match just as okoye. With Rohr their is no sentiment in his selection one of the reasons I supported him
Or even Italian Priest Padro Pio, A man known for the power(divine) of bilocation meaning he can be in two places at a time physically.
I have authentic sources that told me Ighalonis out! I DONT KNW WHO WILL REPLACE HIM
Dessers or Success straight away.Not Amoo or Simy.Success and Dessers have come of age to deserve this opportunity now. Desser is in form while Success is gradually getting back to his world-class self we know he’s capable of. He will do a great job alongside Iheanacho at AFCON. Success top 9 and Iheanacho supporting like that devastating combo that thumped Mexico 1-6 in the U-17 World Cup opener in 2013. Yes they may say is a long time ago, but the quality and class are still there among the two. Desser could be a great option considering his form and the quest to do well knowing that the Competition will be stiff when other quality players in his position return to the fold after the AFCON, So a statement beckons for him if he’s selected. Amoo is good but his time will come soon maybe towards the second half of the year 2022. We need not rush him. He’s a full-fledged Nigerian unlike the hurry need to cap an anglo-Nigerian. Though we know we really need more class in the Super Eagles midfield high up the pitch, even with attacking talent like Nwakali and Aribo notwithstanding. Simmy is last because he’s not in form at the moment and does not command much demeanour compared to the players in comparison. Though he can scramble the ball into the net whatsoever as he did for his Serie A side last season. Let’s just wait and see what happens in Ighalo’s case here. As the drama is becoming more interesting in the build-up to Nigeria’s participation in the AFCON 2022 in Cameroon.
