And they choose strikers who doesn’t disturb the defense line ahead of you in SE..
This guy should be a third option in CF behind osimhen and one more good striker
@Jensen Josh.
Inviting Kayode is not the problem.
Infact if i’m not mistaken, he’s one of the players that has played in all the category of our men soccer team.
The question is; will he be able to replicate his club form when he’s on nigerian colours?
The last time he played against SOUTH AFRICA (i stand to be corrected) he did nothing special after coming on for either NACHO or SIMON.
After then he had a torrid moment in his career & by this time IGHALO was finding the back of the net for SE which made things dificult for Kayode.
If i were him once i’m given opportunity, just like ARIBO i’ll make sure i seize it & make Osimhen to fight to get it back.
But his fans wouldn’t advice him that way; they would be telling him to fight for invite.
Aribo came in & stole that position from ETEBO.
Sanusi is making things dificult for both JAMILU & AINA at LB.
This is the kind of mentality we want in the team not pple that would just summarise within themselves that “the coach already knows his starting XI”.
Kayode is good striker no doubt. We have seen what the guy can
do right from days of under 17 and 20. But He needs to be consistent, once kayode can achived that no coach will ever overlook such a strong player like Him.
