That’s beautiful. It’s better than being idle during such international break
i we prefer we play zambia egypt now
Oga Garnot Rhor please give each player at least 45min minimum of game time let them show us what they can bring to the table…It’s a friendly and it’s an opportunity for most players to prove their worth so they need game time…. Please don’t field the normal starting eleven for 80mins and start rushing changes when the game is getting finished thereby putting so much pressure on this fringe players…..If possible mix them up let us see two different 11s at both halfs so that everyone will have the time to show what he is made of
It is not possible to field normal starting 11 now with the absence of up to 4 of his first 11. Balogun, Sanusi, Aribo and Chukwueze are not in the final list.
So we must have fringe and new players playing which is good.
