@Akp you are right afterall. The European medical team have passed their judgement. God be with kalu. I couldn’t also bare with kalu retiring from football even though I cherish his life too.
You see kalu made Nigerians not to feel the absence or premature retirement of Victor Moses. So his retirement will really be felt ny Nigerians.
His inactivity at the last nations was felt ny the eagles.
He still remains one of the players that can turn a match around for eagles. He has done it on some occasions.
@ Christian min….Our prayers worked after all…..All the thanks go to God almighty…..Taiwo Awoniyi was on target again today and he had a good game too….Taiwo is becoming a seasoned Bundesliga campaigner and we all know that league is a very strong league….I think he should be considered even if it’s a friendly or the Afcon camping.
