How did this guy break into the national team?one goal n 83apperances is so appalling for a defender.nna na wa o team selectors in the national team should stop in the national team have failed us..how can a player be selected to represent a country having this kind of statistics.
What did you call him? A ‘Defende!’ Defenders are supposed to defend, not to score goals, so you should not judge him by number of goals scored but by Tackles won, Clearances done and possibly Assists.
Erm the report is not factual. In addition to the goal against Bayern in the 2019/20 season, he also scored this season against Holstein Kiel in the 4-3 win in March 2022.
It’s good to fact check information before publishing
