Will there be a place for Isaac Success in the new look Super Eagles squad set to be unveiled in a few months time after the commencement of Afcon qualifier hostilities?
Suffice to say that the playing field for players now is as plain as an ironing board following world cup qualifier elimination: nobody is a guaranteed starter, no one is guaranteed to make the squad.
Isaac Success hit the headline this weekend with 2 glorious assists as his club came from behind to claim victory.
The former youth protégé showed strength to fend off his marker before laying a delicate driven pass for Beto to do the rest. The second was simply sublime as his defense splitting pass left Cagliari’s defensive phalanx totally cleft before Molina finished off with aplomb.
Such stately outputs from Success (if produced consistently) will no doubt impress his club coach and definitely catch the eye of any future Super Eagles gaffer.
At the very least it will put him in the conversation of potential one of the Super Eagles’ potential striking option.
That, at the very least, is where he wants to inhabit.
Isaac has 5 assists in 16 games in the Italian top flight thus far this season, a return of 1 assist per 3 games.
Striker no be for mouth.
After the fiasco we’ve witnessed from the current SE forwards, the new coach will likely want to take a look at new faces. The likes of Isaac Success, Simy Nwankwo, David Okereke, Anthony Nwakaeme, and others might have opportunities to stake their claim.
But we get ahead of ourselves. A new NFF is needed first. It is the new NFF that will be saddled with the job of getting us a new quality gaffer.
